Workout Header

  • Title

Give the workout a fun name, a workout date, or a brief description (e.g., warm-up, cool-down, extra credit).

  • Workout Type

  1. Level – Allows multiple workout variations.

  2. RX – Provides a single workout variation. Athletes can log whether they performed it as prescribed (RX) or scaled.

  • Number of Levels (Only for Level Workouts)

Choose how many levels you want to offer. You can edit level colors in Tracks settings.

  • Score Type

Select how the workout will be scored:

  1. Calories

  2. Distance

  3. For Time

  4. Freeform

  5. Lifting (allows movement tracking)

  6. Reps

  7. Rounds + Reps

  8. None (disables scoring)

  • Leaderboard

Do you want to enable a gym-wide leaderboard? Yes or No.

  • Length (Optional)

Specify the expected time domain for the workout. This appears in the header but does not affect scoring.

  • Goal (Optional)

Describe the intended workout stimulus, such as target rounds, reps, or RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion). This appears in the header but does not impact scoring.

  • Benchmark

Is this a benchmark workout where you'd like to track member progress? Yes or No.

  • Challenge Code

Use challenge codes to link workouts or challenges that share the same score type, allowing accumulated tracking over time. Learn more about challenge codes

  • Score Inputs

Determine how many scores athletes will enter for the workout. If multiple, choose how the score is displayed:

  1. Sum

  2. Average

  3. Min

  4. Max

  5. First Record

  6. Last Record

After setting up the workout, you can customize its text as needed.


Workout Toggles

Located below the workout text, these toggles provide additional functionality:

  • Notes

    • Member Notes – Visible to members.

    • Coach Notes – Only visible to coaches.

    • TV Display Notes – Shown only on the TV display.

  • Movements/Videos

  • Tags

    • Add tags to make workouts searchable in the athlete dashboard or for future programming.

  • Delete

    • Remove the workout from daily programming.

  • Visibility

    • Control whether the workout is visible or hidden (e.g., keep as a draft or schedule its release).

  • Full Screen Edit

    • Expand the programming window for easier editing.


Lifting Workout Settings

When creating a lifting-based scoring workout:

  1. Select a movement from the system or create a new one.

  2. Choose a Rep Scheme:

    • Fixed – Example: 5x5.

    • Variable – Example: 1x5, 1x4, 1x3, 1x2, 1x1 (percentages optional).

  3. Choose how the leaderboard score will be displayed.

By following these steps, you can efficiently set up and customize workouts in your programming system.
