How to Create a Workout Plan for a Client
Build a workout from your exercises, then give it to a client for the days of the week they should do it.
Before you start
- The client is already in GymCity (see How to Add a Client).
- The exercises you want in the workout. If one is missing, you can add it from the form with Add New.
Step 1: Open Workouts
In the left menu, open Training and choose Workouts. Click Add Workout at the top right. A workout is a set of exercises you can give to many clients.
- Workouts, under Training in the left menu.
- The Add Workout button.
Step 2: Build the workout and save it
Fill in the fields marked with a red *. Level and Description are optional. Open Add Exercise and tick the exercises; each one appears in a list below. If an exercise asks for Round, Repeat or Duration, fill those in. Click Save to go back to the Workouts list.
- Name (required), for example "Beginner Full Body".
- Type (required).
- Gender (required): who the workout is meant for.
- Add Exercise (required): tick one or more exercises. Add New, above the list, makes a new exercise.
- The Save button.
Step 3: Open the client's Program tab
Go to Clients → All Clients and open the client. Click the Program tab and find the Workout Plan card. Add Workout gives the client one of your saved workouts. Custom Plan lets you build a workout only for this client.
- The Program tab on the client's page.
- Add Workout: pick one of your workouts.
- Custom Plan: build a workout for this client only.
Step 4: Choose the workout and the days
In Select Workout, choose the workout and tick the days of the week the client should do it. Click Save. The workout now shows on those days in the client's Workout Plan card. On each of those days the client sees it as Today's Workout in their own GymCity account and can tick off the exercises they finish.
- Workout (required).
- Select Days (required): tick one or more days.
- The Save button.
If Something Goes Wrong
A required field is empty. Look for red text under the fields: name, type, gender and at least one exercise are required, plus Round, Repeat or Duration when an exercise asks for them.
You have no workouts yet. Make one under Training → Workouts (steps 1 and 2), or use Custom Plan to build one for this client.
Make sure you are on the Program tab. If it is still missing, your GymCity plan may not include workouts: see GymCity Plan in the left menu.
