Workout builder
Clients need consistency, not complexity. Build straightforward programs once, adjust per client, and save as reusable templates. Spend less time programming, more time on what matters to your business.
In short
A workout builder lets coaches program client training with a video exercise library instead of typing spreadsheets. coachway's builder includes roughly 1,800-2,000 exercises with demonstration videos, supports reusable program templates, and delivers workouts to the client app, where sets, reps and weights are logged and flow back to the coach.
Build workout programs clients actually follow
Customize workouts per client, then save as reusable templates. Build programs clients can actually follow - not overcomplicated plans they abandon after week two. Personalization and simplicity is key.

Questions, answered
How many exercises are in coachway's library?
Roughly 1,800-2,000 exercises, each with a demonstration video so clients see correct form inside their app. You can also add your own custom exercises with your own videos when your method calls for something specific.
Can I reuse programs instead of building each client from scratch?
Yes - save any program as a template, assign it to a new client, then individualize the details. Most coaches keep a library of base templates per goal and adjust from there, cutting programming time from hours to minutes.
What do I see after a client trains?
Their logged session: sets, reps, weights and any notes, visible on their profile and feeding their progress history. Skipped sessions are visible too - so you spot a client drifting off-program in days, not at the monthly weigh-in.
How do I build and assign a workout program to a client in Coachway?
Open the client's profile, go to the Workouts tab and click Add Workout Program. Choose Create new to start from scratch, or Duplicate from template to customize an existing template. Build the sessions and click Save, then publish it from the three-dot menu to make it Live. The client sees a published program in their app immediately; drafts stay hidden from them.
How do I add supersets and alternative exercises to a workout?
Click the three-dot menu on an exercise and choose Add Superset; the next exercise you click or drag in is grouped with it, and you can mix weight, rep and time-based exercises in one superset. For swaps, choose Add alternatives and pick one or more exercises. In the app, the client taps the swap icon on that exercise once they have started the workout.
Is there a rest timer in the client's workout app?
Yes. Set the rest time in seconds on each exercise in the workout builder. During the workout the client sees that rest time between sets, taps the timer to start the countdown, and can adjust the time or add more time, which does not restart the timer. Afterwards you see the actual rest they took between sets on the workout overview, so you can spot rushed or long rests.
How do clients log their workouts in the app, and can they fix mistakes?
Clients open the Workout tab, start the session and log weight and reps for each set as they train, with a video demonstration available for every exercise mid-session. If they mistype a number, they open the completed workout from their history, tap the edit icon, correct it and save, so charts and personal records stay accurate. Completed workouts show on the client's Development page for you.
What is a workout pack and how do I share one with my clients?
A workout pack is a collection of workouts clients can browse and pick from, such as a travel or home-workout pack. Go to Library, then Workout packs, click Create collection and add a cover, title and description. Add sections and workouts from your templates or saved sections, set visibility to Private, Public or Segmented, then click Publish. A pack holds up to 200 workouts.
Do changes to a workout template update programs my clients already have?
No. Each client gets their own copy when you assign a program from a template, so template edits only affect future assignments. To change an existing client's program, open it on their profile, make the edit and click Publish to push it to their app. Workouts inside a workout pack are different: they stay linked to the template and update automatically.
