Create Training Programs in Workout Trainer

Workout Trainer by Skimble: Create Custom Training Programs for your Clients

Download the latest Workout Trainer update on your Android and iOS devices to help you and your clients crush those New Year resolutions. With our latest app update, you can create custom training programs at the touch of a button and send them to your fitness crew. By doing so, you can train together with personalized schedules. If you are a fitness professional, hold your clients accountable by tracking their enrolled program progress. It’s a sure-fire way to helping them achieve their 2017 fitness goals.

To get started with program creation in Workout Trainer, navigate to the ‘Programs’ tab and select the ‘+’ or FAB option. Come up with an appropriate name and write a brief description about the training program. You can also indicate the general intensity of the workouts in this program by selecting casual/moderate/intense.

Next, create your program by adding workouts to the calendar. Tap the dumbbell icon to add/swap/delete a workout. When you are ready, use the toggle at the top right to publish the program as ‘Private’ or ‘Public’. Private programs can only be viewed by the clients you send them to, whilst Public programs can be used as a teaser for anyone to find on your profile.

If you want to adapt any of your programs, you can tap the ‘…’ icon in the top right to copy and edit your programs. This handy feature allows you to save time when creating and adjusting similar programs for multiple clients. When you are ready, send your programs to clients and friends in the same way you send them workouts and exercises. Use Text Message, Email, Facebook, Twitter, or simply share the program in-app directly to your 1:1 clients. Program recipients can then decide when to start the program, for example, start on Monday and aim to complete the prescribed workouts in the mornings at 7 am.

On top of this, you will be able to easily keep track of these members’ progress by seeing when they complete workouts in the programs! If you are coaching a client, go to the 1:1 Online Personal Training messaging stream in our iOS app, tap the Client Details & Stats icon, and then the ‘Enrolled Programs’ link.
