Creating Workout Plans

Build effective workout plans for your clients with the Coach+ plan builder. Create from scratch or use templates as starting points.

Accessing the Plan Builder

To create a new workout plan:

1. Click Plans in the sidebar — the page is titled "Workout Plans & Templates"
2. Click the "Create Plan" button in the page header

The plans list shows all your plans with columns for Level, Target, Workouts count, and Status (Public or Private). Use the All Levels, All Targets, and All Status filters to find specific plans.

Plan Information

After you open the plan builder, the plan editor is split into a main area and a settings panel: program title and description, workout schedule, and options such as public plan, cover image, difficulty, and goal (layout follows your screen size and language direction).

Main Area

• Program Title - Descriptive name (e.g., "Build a Strong Chest in 3 Days")
• Program Description - What the plan is for and who it's designed for (up to 1000 characters)
• Workout Schedule - Add and reorder individual workouts

Plan settings panel

• Public Plan - Toggle to make the plan visible to all clients
• Cover Image - Upload a photo to represent the plan
• Difficulty Level - Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced
• Target - Cardio Performance, Muscle Gain, Body Specific, Weight Loss, or General

Adding Workouts

Plans are composed of individual workouts. The Workout Schedule section shows the count of workouts in the program with two controls:

• Reorder - Drag workouts into the order you want
• + Add Workout - Add a new workout to the plan

Each workout card shows its name (e.g., "Workout 1: Chest & Triceps") and the number of exercises it contains. Click a workout card to open and edit it.

Adding Exercises

Within each workout, add exercises from your library:

Exercise Selection
