Coaching Workouts
Coaching workouts are reusable workout templates for clients. They live in your coaching library and can be scheduled on any client’s planner. Assigned copies can stay linked to the original, so shared details stay in sync and clients can review exercise updates.
Viewing Coaching Workouts
Go to Coaching → Workouts to manage your coaching workout library. From this page you can:
- Search and filter workouts
- Create new coaching workouts
- Manage coaching categories
- Open coaching widgets
- Assign workouts to clients through Coach Mode, Templates, or Bulk Add Workouts
Creating a Coaching Workout
Start a new workout
Go to Coaching → Workouts from the sidebar and click New Coaching Workout.
Add basic details
Enter a name, description, category, and estimated duration. Clients see the name on their planner and in workout pickers.
Add exercises
Add exercises from the exercise library, then configure sets, reps, weight, duration, distance, rest timers, alternates, or effort targets.
Add widgets
Add coaching widgets that clients should complete during the workout, such as logbooks, measures, sliders, or selects.
Add details and notes
Use the workout details for instructions, media, client-facing notes, and coaching context.
Save
Click Create to save the workout to your coaching library.
Workout Details
Each coaching workout can include:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The workout title clients see |
| Description | Session overview or purpose |
| Category | Organises workouts by type |
| Duration | Estimated time to complete |
| Exercises | Structured sets, reps, timers, alternates, and effort targets |
| Widgets | Data collection fields clients fill out |
| Owner notes | Coaching context that helps you manage the workout |
Exercises in Coaching Workouts
Exercises let you prescribe structured training. You can:
- Use existing exercises or create new ones
- Configure sets, reps, weight, duration, distance, and rest
- Add alternates for substitutions
- Use RIR or RPE effort targets where supported
- Reorder exercises by dragging
See Exercises and Effort Tracking for how tracking works.
Managing Categories
Categories organise coaching workouts by type, such as Strength, Endurance, Technique, or Recovery. To manage them, go to Coaching → Workouts, open the menu, and select Edit Categories. When you change a coaching workout’s category, linked client workouts update automatically.
Assigning to Clients
There are three ways to assign coaching workouts:
- Direct scheduling — enter Coach Mode, click a day in the client’s planner, and choose the workout.
- Templates — apply a Template to schedule a structured block.
- Bulk add — use Bulk Add Workouts to schedule repeated workouts across multiple days.
Linked Workouts
An assigned coaching workout can stay linked to the original. Linked workouts:
- Receive name, description, category, and detail updates automatically
- Show an Update prompt when you change the source exercises
- Show a linked badge to the client
- Preserve client personal notes
- Prevent clients from editing core template details until they unlink
Editing Coaching Workouts
Open any coaching workout to edit details, category, duration, exercises, widgets, owner notes, or instructions. Changes to shared details sync to linked client workouts. Exercise changes prompt each client to review and apply the update; they don’t silently replace the client’s copy. Widget changes don’t update existing client copies.
If you update a linked workout, let clients know through Messages.
Editing a linked coaching workout can affect every client using it. Create a separate coaching workout when only one client needs a variation.
Unlinking Workouts
Clients can unlink a workout to make it independently editable.
Open the workout
The client opens the linked workout.
Choose Unlink Workout
Click the three-dot menu in the top right and choose Unlink Workout.
Confirm
Review the confirmation message and confirm. The workout becomes independent.
What Happens When Unlinking
- The workout keeps the current template content
- Client personal notes are merged into the workout details
- The linked badge disappears
- The workout becomes fully editable and can be duplicated
- Future changes to the original coaching workout no longer affect it
Unlinking is permanent. To reconnect a client to the template, assign the coaching workout again.
Orphaned Workouts
If the source coaching workout is deleted, assigned linked workouts become orphaned. Clients can unlink orphaned workouts to regain full editing control.
Client Experience
When clients receive a workout:
- It appears on their planner for the scheduled date
- They can view instructions, exercises, widgets, and notes
- They can complete sets and log tracking data
- They can add personal notes
- They can unlink if they need an independent copy
