Building workout plans

Plans live under Workout plans. A plan holds sessions, sessions hold exercises, and exercises hold the sets you prescribe.

Structure and limits

• Up to 14 sessions in a plan, so anything from a 3-day split to a two-week rotation fits
• Up to 30 exercises a session and 20 sets an exercise
• Set the plan's training days per week (1 to 7), which sets the client's weekly target

Prescribing sets

Each exercise takes reps, weight, tempo, rest (which starts the client's rest timer), notes, and an effort target as RIR or RPE. If you set no effort targets, clients aren't asked for effort.

Group exercises in a session as a superset, warm-up or finisher.

Weekly volume

A plan shows the weekly sets for each muscle group, so you can check the balance of the week as you build it.

Your exercise library

Every account starts with over 1,400 exercises, from barbell staples to machines by brand name. Add your own with a muscle group, equipment, coaching notes and a video demo link, or create one straight from the plan editor.

Client plans and templates

Each client trains from their own plan. Start it from a template, another client's plan or a blank week, and change it without touching anyone else's. A template is a starting point: no client trains from a template, and editing one only changes plans you start from it later.

When you save a change to a client's plan, you can highlight the changes so they see what changed next time they open Training, or save it quietly.
