Lessons

  1. Lesson 1: Building a workout for a client

    Workouts belong to one client, hold the exercises you add to them, and appear in the order you set. How to create one and what to decide before you start filling it.Guide·2 min read

  2. Lesson 2: Adding an exercise: sets, reps, rest and weight

    Every field on an exercise, what each unit choice changes for the client, and why the notes field carries a warning about personal information.Guide·2 min read

  3. Lesson 3: Conventional and Versatile exercise styles

    Two ways to structure an exercise. Conventional handles a straight multiset movement; Versatile groups several movements under one heading for supersets, tri-sets and cluster sets.Explainer·2 min read

  4. Lesson 4: Attaching a video to an exercise

    Pick from your own uploaded videos or link an external one. Both are reviewable, and a demonstration answers the question a client would otherwise message you at 6am.Guide·2 min read

  5. Lesson 5: Organizing workouts with folders

    Folders group a client's workouts, with a name, description, icon and color. They are the difference between a program and a list of thirty workouts.Guide·2 min read

  6. Lesson 6: Copying a workout to another client

    Copy a workout, move to another client, paste. The clipboard holds one workout for 15 minutes, and a copied workout still needs adjusting to the person receiving it.Guide·2 min read
