Summary
Rank Tracking lets martial arts students view their belt, stripe, and progress toward the next rank directly from the PushPress Members App. This improves motivation, increases engagement, and reduces admin time for owners and instructors.
What Is Rank Tracking?
Rank Tracking shows members their:
Current belt
Current stripe/sub-rank
Progress toward the next belt or milestone
This information appears directly inside the Members App on the member’s profile.
Note: Rank Tracking visibility is only available to gyms using Rank Tracking in PushPress Core (Pro/Max plans).
Why Use Rank Tracking?
Visible Progress
Students can see where they stand — belt, sub-rank, and how close they are to promotion.
Motivation Built In
Real-time progress helps students stay consistent in classes and reduces mid-cycle disengagement.
Less Admin Work
Staff no longer need to answer “What rank am I at?” or manually update printed charts.
Fully Configurable
Gym owners decide whether to show or hide rank visibility depending on their academy’s promotion style.
How to Enable Rank Visibility (Gym Owner/Admin)
Log into PushPress Core.
Go to the Core App Store - Rank Tracking (Pro/Max only).

Toggle Show Rank in Members App (if available for your account).

Once enabled, member rank information will automatically display in the Members App.

Business Impact
Rank Tracking helps academies:
