Step-by-step guide

Set the path (optional)

At the top of the form you will see a Details section with a single field called Path. Type a file-path-like label to help organise your templates (e.g. CrossFit/April or Strength/Week1). Think of it as putting a document in a folder — it keeps things manageable when you have many templates. Path: Not required — a folder-like path to organise the template (e.g. CrossFit/April).

Select a workout type

In the Workout template section below you will see a dropdown for the workout type. Select the type that best describes this workout (e.g. "AMRAP", "For Time", "EMOM" etc.). The available types are loaded automatically from the system when the page opens. Workout Type: Required — select the workout category from the dropdown.

Enter the workout title

Type a short, descriptive name for this workout template. This is the name shown in lists and when the template is used in a programme. Title: Required — a short name for the workout (e.g. "Heavy Fran" or "Monday Strength").

Set a time cap (optional)

If the workout has a time limit, set the Time Cap using the time picker. Enter hours, minutes and/or seconds as needed. If you leave this empty, the workout is treated as having no time limit. Time Cap: Not required — the maximum time allowed for the workout (hours, minutes, seconds). Leave empty for no limit.

Write the workout description (optional)

Use the Text field to describe the workout in your own words. You can include rep schemes, notes for coaches or scaling options. This is a free-text field — write as much or as little as you need. Text: Not required — a written description of the workout, instructions or coach's notes.

Add exercises

Below the workout details you can add individual exercises to the template. Click the button to add an exercise. For each exercise fill in the following details: Exercise Type: Required — select an exercise from the dropdown (e.g. "Back Squat", "Pull-Up"). Number of Sets: Not required — how many sets of this exercise (e.g. 5). Count (Reps): Not required — how many reps per set (e.g. 10). Unit: Not required — the unit of measurement if relevant (e.g. "reps", "metres", "calories"). Men's Weight: Not required — the prescribed weight for men (e.g. 60 kg). Women's Weight: Not required — the prescribed weight for women (e.g. 40 kg). Percentage: Not required — a percentage of a reference weight if the workout is percentage-based (e.g. 75). Relation To: Not required — what the percentage relates to (e.g. a 1RM reference). You can add as many exercises as the workout requires.

Reorder exercises (optional)

If you need to change the order of exercises, drag and drop them. Click and hold an exercise and drag it to the desired position in the list. Release to place it. The order is saved automatically.

Save

When you are happy with the template, click the Create button at the bottom right of the form. The system will validate all your entries, send the workout template data to the server and redirect you back to the workout template list. You will see a green "Create success!" notification at the bottom of the screen.
