Review and complete the items below to help guide you in setting up your Train account. Start by logging in to your Core Control Panel or at train.pushpress.com


1. Add Staff & Coaches

Go to 'Management>Coaches' to manage your coaching staff members and determine their access. Coaches should be added based on their access role.

Administrator in Core = Manager in Train

Coach in Core = Coach in Train

If you are missing a coach you can manually add them by:

  • Select 'Add a Coach' to begin

  • Add the coaches first name, last name and email used in the system.

  • Select 'Confirm'


2. Set Gym Preferences

Go to 'Management > Preferences' and work through the Preferences-General section. No need to worry about financial-preferences. All financials will be managed in PushPress Core.

Preferences - General

  • Gym Name (or your program name)

  • Default Gym Notes (what you would like gym notes to be titled)

  • Duplicate week (toggle blue for on - white for off)

  • Weightlifting units (lbs or kg)

  • Workout publish date

  • Workout publish time

  • Timezone

  • Gym Name


3. Create Workout Programs

In order to fully and effectively utilize your Train system, understanding the differences between the types of Workout Programs available is key. Check out the descriptions for all program types and begin to add these based on your businesses needs:

Daily Program - best used for groups of people doing the same workout on a given day; either in person or remote. 

Personal Training - private program linked to individual clients, note that the client will need to be added to your gym before you can create a Personal Training Program for them.

Program Templates - useful for creating an archive of a series of workouts. These can be as long as you wish and either be applied to either daily programs or personal training programs.

Habit Tracking - a specific form of a template that will only allow a Yes or No response. This template is best used to track compliance for specific metrics. For example, you can set a habit for member or clients to get 8 hours of sleep per night and they can log if they did or did not achieve this goal.

Challenges - another specific form of a daily program. Challenges are designed to track a total cumulative score over a period of time. For example, you can track the total number of steps over a months time to determine who is the leader.
