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.
