📝 Overview

Session Blocks let you build large chunks of programming to store, reuse, and optionally share or sell to your members. Whether you're creating a private testing block to use later, a free downloadable pack, or a paid programme hidden behind a voucher or membership, Session Blocks give you a flexible way to manage and distribute programming outside of your regular class calendar.

🛠️ Setup

The steps below walk you through creating, structuring, building, managing, and applying a Session Block.

1️⃣ How to Create a Session Block

Navigate to Programming ➜ Blocks, then click Actions ➜ Add New in the top right. In the pop-up, give your block a title and select the block type that suits how you want to use this programming.

Click the arrow to learn more about block types

Block Only — Creates a block stored in your Session Blocks library. It won't be visible to any members until you apply it to your programming calendar. This is ideal for programming you know you'll want to revisit, such as a testing block.

Pack Available – All Members — Creates the block as a free pack that members can find and download directly to their personal programming calendar.

Requires Code — Hides the block behind a voucher code. You create the code via Actions ➜ Add Voucher and send it to a member once they've paid — either in person or through BoxMate. This gives you full flexibility to accept payment outside of TeamUp.

Requires Membership — Hides the block behind a TeamUp membership type. Members must purchase the required membership through TeamUp before they can access the programming.

💡 The paid options are ideal for selling individual programming packs to your members, for example, a "Pull-Up Technique" block or a "Weightlifting" programme.

Once you've selected the block type, write a short description or overview of the programming in this block. This is helpful for your own reference and gives members useful context when deciding whether to purchase or download the pack.

2️⃣ How to Set Up Your Block Structure

Next, decide how your sessions will be arranged across the weeks. You have two options depending on how consistent your session days will be.

Click the arrow to learn more about block structure options

Same session days each week - Choose this if your sessions fall on the same days every week. For example, a 6-week block with sessions every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Select the number of weeks and days, then click Prepare Block. You can easily switch or adjust individual days from here before building.

Different days each week — Choose this if the number or days of sessions vary week by week. For example, Week 1 has 4 sessions, Week 2 has 2, Week 3 has 5 — all on different days. Specify the number of weeks and click Prepare Block. A blank overview of all weeks will appear — click on the days you want sessions on, then click Build Block to confirm.

3️⃣ How to Build Sessions

Head back to the Blocks page, find your block, and click View and Edit to open the session building view. The block displays one week at a time based on the structure you set up.

Build out each session as you normally would, you can also use the AI assistant in the same way as you do in your standard programming to help create the session elements.

Once you've finished a week's sessions, use the week toggle at the top to move to the next week and continue building.

4️⃣ How to Manage Your Block

Switch to the Manage Block tab at the top to make any structural changes. From here you can drag and drop sessions, reorder them, copy them, edit individual sessions, and add or remove days and weeks.

Click the arrow to learn more about managing block sessions

Edit a session - Click the orange Edit button on any session to open it in a panel on the right, where you can make direct changes.

Copy a session - Use the copy button to duplicate a session. A pop-up lets you choose whether to copy the session as a new, independent session (future changes won't affect the original) or to keep it linked (changes in either version will update both). The same linked/unlinked choice applies to the workouts within the session.

⚠️ If you keep sessions or workouts linked, any edits made to one will also change the other. This is useful for tracking member progress across the same workout, but make changes carefully.

To copy multiple sessions at once, hold Command and click to select more than one session, then copy them. Select the target day to copy them to — leaving this blank will place them at the end of the block.

Add, delete, or unlink a session - Use the plus button to add a new session on any day, or use the other buttons to delete or unlink individual sessions.

💡You can also use Command + click to select multiple sessions and perform these actions across several days at once.

Insert days & manage weeks - Use the Insert Start and End button in the top right to add days at the start or end of the block. Click on a specific day to add days from that point. Head to Actions to insert a new full week anywhere in the block, or copy an existing week to repeat it later in the programme.

5️⃣ How to View the Block Overview

From the Edit Sessions view, click Overview to see a read-only summary of your full block, which days have sessions, which are empty, and the key details of each session. This is a helpful way to review everything before applying the block.

6️⃣ How to Apply Your Block

Once your block is ready, head back to the Blocks page. Click the 3 dots below your block and select Apply Block. From this menu you can also update, duplicate, or remove the block.

Click the arrow to learn how to apply a block

1️⃣ Apply to a gym programme - Select the gym programme you want to apply the block to from the dropdown, then choose the start date and click Apply Block.

2️⃣ Apply to a PT client - Select the PT client option, choose the client from the dropdown, select the start date, and click Apply Block.

For blocks set up as Requires Code or Requires Membership, you'll also see an Announce option. Use this to notify members that the programming pack is now available to purchase or access.

7️⃣ How to Set Up Pack Vouchers

If your block uses the Requires Code option, you'll need to create and manage voucher codes. Head to Actions ➜ Pack Voucher from the Blocks page to create, find, and send codes to members.

To create a new voucher, fill in the pop-up with the following details:

Click the arrow to view the process of creating a voucher code

Select the block the voucher code applies to.
Choose whether this is a one-off code for a specific member (select them from the dropdown) or a general code for multiple members (leave the member field blank).
Leave the code field blank for an auto-generated code, or type in your own custom code.
Optionally set a use limit - for example, 50 if you only want to sell the block to a maximum of 50 members, or 1 for a one-off code. Leave blank for unlimited use.
Optionally set an expiry date, or leave blank if the code should never expire.

🧑‍💻 Customer View

In the BoxMate member app, members can find available programming packs by heading to their Programming tab and tapping the signpost icon in the top left. This will display all available packs — both free and available for purchase.

The experience a member sees will vary depending on the block type:

Click the arrow to learn more about the member experience

Free pack - Members can download the programming directly to their personal calendar at no cost.

Requires Membership - A pop-up will prompt the member to purchase the required TeamUp membership before they can download and access the programming.

Requires Code - A code entry screen will appear. The member won't be able to access the programming until you've sent or provided them with a voucher code — giving you full control over how you collect payment for the programme.
