How to Build Your First Workout Program

Let’s dive into how to build your first workout program. Start by creating a new program, giving it a name, and choosing a target client. From there, you can browse through the Exercise Library and start adding exercises. Make sure you customize each exercise with the appropriate sets, reps, and rest times. Add notes for your clients to give them cues to focus on and set them up for success. You can also preview the program before assigning it to make sure it looks perfect. Remember that the program is only as good as the client's execution and their ability to follow instructions.

Using Supersets and Templates

Supersets and templates are your secret weapons for efficiency and results! Templates allow you to reuse proven workout structures, saving you valuable time. They are particularly useful for creating warm-up and cool-down routines. You can modify templates to meet the needs of your client. On the other hand, supersets are an amazing tool for advanced workouts. By using supersets, you can work more muscles in less time! You can also adjust the exercise, reps, and rest periods to match your client's needs. Learning to incorporate these tools will set you apart from others.

Module 2: Client Assignment & Plans: Putting Your Programs to Work

By following these steps, you can save time and keep your clients focused on their workouts.

How to Assign Programs to Clients Efficiently

We know efficiency is key. To assign programs efficiently, start by selecting your client. Then, choose the program from the available library. Be sure to personalize the program by adding notes or adjusting exercises. Set a start date and any deadlines, and then assign the program. FitComrade will notify your client, making sure they stay on track. This method ensures your clients receive their programs quickly and can start working towards their goals immediately.
