Wheel of Life online
The coaching classic for taking stock of where your client stands.
Score each life area as it is today and where they want it to be — then let the gap reveal the topics worth coaching.
Tap an area of your life, then tap again to rate it: close to the centre means unhappy, the outer edge means thriving.

Why coaches reach for the Wheel of Life
One simple, flexible tool that earns its place in your intake, your live sessions and every check-in along the way.
Start every journey grounded
Open a new engagement with a shared map of where your client stands, so you both begin from the same honest picture.
From overwhelm to focus
When a client says everything's a bit much, the wheel turns that fog into a clear, agreed topic to work on first.
Let the gap set the agenda
Score each area as it is now and as your client wants it to be — the space between the two surfaces your real coaching goals.
Build it live together
Fill the wheel in on a shared whiteboard, so remote clients watch their own picture take shape with you in real time.
Make progress visible
Re-run the wheel weeks later and set the snapshots side by side — proof of movement that keeps clients engaged and coming back.
Shaped around each client
Rename life areas on the spot — caregiving, faith, a side project — instead of forcing everyone through the same fixed template.
The 8 life areas of the Wheel of Life
A common set of eight areas covers the whole of life. Each is rated from 1 (not satisfied) to 10 (completely satisfied).
Health & Fitness
How much strength the body has left at the end of a day: sleep, movement, and physical resilience.
Emotional Wellbeing
How calm and steady life feels on the inside, even when the outside is busy.
Fun & Recreation
Whether there is still room for play, hobbies and moments that exist purely for enjoyment.
Family & Friends
The depth and warmth of the closest circle - the people your client can lean on.
Significant Other
Closeness, trust and a shared direction in the romantic relationship.
Personal Growth
The sense of moving forward: new skills, new perspectives, becoming the person one wants to be.
Career & Business
How well working life fits: meaning, recognition and alignment with personal values.
Finances
Feeling secure and unstressed about money, from the monthly income to long-term reserves.
Every client is different: segments can be renamed on the spot, so the wheel always mirrors the life it describes.
How the Wheel of Life works on metaFox.online
Open the wheel on your whiteboard
Start a session and drop the Wheel of Life onto your board — eight life areas, ready to score, in seconds.
Score today, then the goal
Your client rates each area as it is now, then switches to the desired layer to mark where they want to be — both of you watch the wheel take shape live.
Let the gap reveal the topics
The space between today and the goal points straight to the work: where is the gap widest, and where would the first small step pay off most?
Document and revisit
Keep the wheel on the whiteboard with notes and goals, then run it again later to lay the snapshots side by side and make progress visible.
