A workout is a single training session made of one or more blocks: a warm-up, the main work, a cool-down. Workout templates live in your training library, ready to drop onto the calendar whenever you need them. This guide covers building templates, their blocks, exporting one, and scheduling from one.
Workout principles & best practices
Name it so it stands out. The name shows on the calendar, in the template pickers, and on the athlete's phone. Template names must be unique within a library location, so "Strength Day A" beats "Lift".
Keep blocks small. Put each exercise or pairing in its own block (bench press, back squat and hang clean as three blocks rather than one). Small blocks are easier to reorder, reuse and follow.
Build for the flow. Athletes work through blocks in order on their phone, and the whiteboard lays them out the same way, so each block should make sense on its own and in sequence.
Creating workouts
You build workouts in three places:
A library template reaches athletes only when you schedule it or copy its blocks into a program. A calendar workout is scheduled the moment you save it.
Create a library workout
Click Library in the sidebar, then the Workouts tab (1 in the picture above).
Click Add Workout (2), then From scratch. The New workout panel opens. (With Flex has Flex build the whole session, block by block, from a description.)
Under Create content for, pick where the template lives: your institution's library or a team's. This box shows only when you have more than one location; see Training library.
Enter a Name (1 below) and click Create.
The new workout appears in the table. Click its row, or View details, to open the editor. Adding and editing workouts needs edit access to the library.
Create a program workout
Click a day in a program to build its workout there. See Programs.
Create a calendar workout
Click Schedule workout on the calendar, choose who it's for and when, and click Schedule workout at the bottom of the panel. You build its blocks once it's on the calendar. See Calendar.
Workout builder
The editor opens in a panel with the workout's Details (1) on top and its Blocks below. There's no Save button: each field saves as you change it, and the badge in the header confirms it.
Name — required.
Tags, Facility, Description and Cover — an empty one sits as a chip beside the Details heading. Click the chip to open its field.
Facility lists your institution's facilities. With none set up, the field says so and stays disabled.
Library workouts aren't scheduled
A template in the library isn't assigned to anyone, and editing it never changes a workout already on the calendar. Scheduling copies the template's blocks into a new, independent workout.
Add blocks
Click Add block (2) to add a block. Blocks run in the order they're listed (3).
Build a block from scratch
Choose From scratch (1). A block named New Block is added to the end of the workout and the block editor opens over the panel. See Blocks for building sets.
Insert a block template
Choose From library (2) to open Add from library above the block list.
Type part of a block's name or tag (1). Click a result (2), or highlight it with the arrow keys and press Enter, to add a copy to the end of the workout. The search stays open for the next one; press Esc or the close button when you're done.
Reorder and remove blocks
Drag a block by its grip (1) to move it. From the keyboard, focus the grip and press Space, or choose Grab to reorder (2) from the block's menu, then use the up and down arrows and press Enter to drop it (Esc puts it back).
Click a block's name, or choose Open block from its menu, to edit its sets. To reorder exercises inside a block, right-click a row in its sets grid and choose Move up or Move down; see Blocks.
Remove from workout deletes the block and its sets from this workout. Blocks in your library aren't affected.
Add an image
Click the Cover chip, then drop a JPG, PNG or GIF onto Drop an image here or browse, or click it to choose a file. The image uploads as soon as you pick it; Replace and Remove change it later.
Mobile phone
The cover is the background of the workout's card on the athlete's phone.
TV mode
The cover also appears behind the workout on the team calendar and on the whiteboard. The TV view doesn't show it.
Copy, export and delete
The buttons at the top of the editor:
Export builds a portrait PDF of the workout: its name and every block with its sets. Use it as a printable workout card. Per-athlete cards for a scheduled workout come from the calendar; see Calendar.
Copy opens Save a copy. Choose where the copy goes, give it a Workout name, and click Save copy.
Delete removes the template after you confirm. This can't be undone. Workouts already scheduled from it stay on the calendar.
To delete several at once, tick their rows in the table and click Delete.
A workout Flex built for you starts as a draft: it carries a Draft badge in the table and the editor, and the editor shows Save to library and Discard draft in place of Copy and Delete. Until you save it, it can't be copied, scheduled from the library or put into a program. See Flex.
Flex also adds to the library from elsewhere: with a scheduled workout, a program day or a block open, ask it to "save this to the library" and it saves a copy there, leaving the original where it is.
Scheduling from a template
On the calendar, click the arrow beside Schedule workout (1).
Search or scroll to the template and click it (2). Each one shows its block count and tags.
Pick Assign to and the Date & time. The panel lists the blocks Arriving with the template.
Click Schedule workout.
You can also open Schedule workout and pick from the Template field (1), which defaults to From scratch. The new workout takes the template's name, description, cover, facility and blocks. After that it's its own workout: change it on the calendar, and later edits to the template don't reach it.
Reset workout belongs to workouts that come from a program day, not from a template. It appears when a program day changed after athletes logged data. See Calendar.
