# Configure Your Services

Services are the foundation of how you organize your coaching in Apotheo. Each service defines a set of check-in rules, forms, and requirements that apply to every client assigned to it. For example, you might have an "Online Coaching" service with weekly check-ins and a "Competition Prep" service with more frequent requirements.
