Creating and Adding a Workout to a Trainerize Program
This guide walks you through the process of creating a custom workout and adding it to a program inside Trainerize, ensuring your workouts are properly structured within the training phase of a master program.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Access Your Program
-
Navigate to Master Libraries → Programs.
-
Select the program you want to add a workout to (e.g., Semi-Private 12-Week).
-
Scroll to the training phase section.
2. Avoid Adding from Calendar First
-
Do not create workouts directly in the calendar as they can’t be edited or reused easily.
-
Instead, build workouts within the training phase for flexibility and reuse.
3. Create a New Workout
-
Inside the training phase, click “Add New Workout.”
-
Name your workout (e.g., Workout One).
4. Choose Workout Type
You’ll be prompted to select a workout type:
-
Regular: Standard sets, reps, rest (ideal for most workouts).
-
Circuit: Cardio or interval-based with continuous movement.
-
Interval: Time-based formats like Tabata or HIIT.
5. Add Exercises
-
Use the search bar to find exercises (e.g., ab wheel rollouts, barbell deadlift, kettlebell figure eights).
-
Add exercises and adjust:
-
Sets/Reps
-
Rest Intervals
-
Supersets or Circuits
-
-
Example:
-
Barbell Deadlift – 5 rounds of 10–12 reps, 90 sec rest.
-
Ankle Alphabet – 30 sec each side (superset with ab wheel rollouts).
-
Circuit: Banded Mini Leg Deadlifts + Kettlebell Figure Eights (4 rounds with 30 sec rest).
-
6. Add a Warm-Up (Optional)
-
Example: Add a 5-minute run as a warm-up.
-
Drag and drop to the top if needed.
7. Save the Workout
-
Click Save Workout once everything is configured.
8. Assign Workout to Calendar
-
Go to the Calendar View of the program.
-
Select Workout One and assign it to the desired day.
-
Confirm placement—your workout is now scheduled.
Tips:
-
Always build workouts inside the training phase to allow for full editability.
-
Use supersets and circuits to add structure and efficiency.
-
Reuse and duplicate workouts across different programs as needed.
Next Steps:
Now that your workout is created and scheduled, you can continue adding more workouts or build out additional phases in your master program.
