What is data

Hexfit uses the principle of “Data” to facilitate the analysis of information. We usually talk about “smart” data.

Definition

In Hexfit, a data point represents a numerical value associated with a measurement, observation, or performance indicator.

It forms the basis for quantitative monitoring of your clients and allows you to analyze their progress using visual and statistical tools integrated into the platform.

Characteristics of data

  • It is always numerical:

    • data must be expressed in numerical form (e.g., 72 kg, 5 repetitions, 120 bpm, 30 minutes, etc.).

  • It is measurable and comparable over time:

    • data can be recorded at different times, allowing you to observe changes or trends.

  • It is linked to a specific indicator:

    • each piece of data is linked to a type of measurement (e.g., body weight, body fat percentage, training load, distance traveled, etc.).

Usefulness of data in Hexfit

Data plays a central role in customer follow-up management and performance evaluation.

In particular, it allows you to:

  • Create personalized progress charts

  • Compare a customer's results over time or between different indicators

  • Support analyzes and decisions based on measurable facts

  • Generate visual reports and progress reports

Examples of data

  • Weight: 68.4 kg

  • Resting heart rate: 58 bpm

  • 5 km time: 24 minutes 15 seconds

  • Number of repetitions: 12

  • Percentage of muscle mass: 42%

⚠️ Not all information is automatically data. For it to become data, it must have been created as such. It can either be present by default or added by the professional.


List of data

To see the list of data present in the software:

  1. Click the “contacts” tab and choose a client.

  2. Click on the “Overview” tab.

  3. Select “Add a new value”.

  4. By clicking on a category on the left, you will see all the data thanks to the different sections that will open.

⚠️ Only data with a defined value for the client will be displayed under “See all data”.

This is why it is better to go through “Add a new value” to see the list of possibilities.


Create custom data

If the requested data is not found in the software, you can create it yourself. Click here to learn how.


Share data with your customers

By default, only certain data is visible to customers. If you want to share more, you will need to change your preferences.

Documents

When creating a document, you can create three types of items:

  • The fields:

    • Are not data. The fields will only be available in the document and in its PDF version once completed.

  • The data:

    • They will be available for reading and analysis.

  • Modules:

    • Set of pre-built elements. Some contain data.

* By clicking on the item, you will open its menu and be able to see what is there.


Evaluation

Evaluation often contains data.

To see if the test you want to perform contains one or more data, click on the “?” to the right of its name.

You will see the name of the data evaluated if this is the case (Analyzed data) as well as the category in which you can find it (Data available in ).


Programs

Training programs provide access to certain information. However, this information is not considered data.

  • The number of sets and repetitions performed by the client.

  • Their perception of the effort.

  • The weights lifted.

  • And more.

All of this can be analyzed by the professional, but not as data.
