Workouts scheduled in the Planner appear on the gym device's schedule, ready to run. This is the plan-before half of the loop; the app is the run-it half. This article covers scheduling, the three calendar views, recurring sessions and reusable templates.
Scheduling a workout
There are three ways in, all equivalent: the Create schedule button in the Planner header, clicking an empty day or hour slot in the calendar, or the all-day strip at the top of a day.
The schedule drawer then walks you through four sections:
- Schedule: the date and time, an all-day toggle, and Repeats weekly for standing sessions.
- Athletes: who takes part, as chips you add and remove.
- Workout: a name, which The Portal suggests for you, and tags.
- Exercises: the exercise list, in order. Drag to reorder, group exercises into supersets, pull in a saved template, or save what you have built as a new template for next time.
Press Schedule and it is on the calendar, and on the gym tablet.
Caption: Four sections: when, who, what it is called, and the exercises in order.
Click any workout chip to open and edit it. To reschedule, drag the chip to another day or time; if the move cannot be saved, it snaps back rather than lying to you.
A note on permissions. Editing the plan requires planner access on your role. Without it, the Planner is read-only: you can open and view everything, and change nothing.
Day, week and month views
The Planner is a calendar with three zoom levels, switched in the header.
Month is a scrolling grid of weeks for volume planning. Every day shows its workout chips, with a +N more overflow when a day is packed. Best for seeing the shape of a training block.
Week is Monday to Sunday columns over an hourly grid, with a live line marking the current time. Best for the working week: what runs today, what runs tomorrow, where the gaps are.
Day is one day's time grid next to a mini month calendar, with dots marking days that have sessions. Best for a busy facility day with many sessions to keep apart.
Every workout chip carries its tag colour, its name, a badge if it repeats weekly, and a compact summary of how many exercises, how many athletes and roughly how long. Past workouts are dimmed so the future reads at a glance. In every view, clicking a chip opens it and dragging a chip reschedules it.
Caption: Week view is the working default: what runs today, what runs tomorrow, and where the gaps are.
Recurring weekly workouts
For standing sessions, such as Tuesday squad lifts or Friday testing, switch on Repeats weekly in the schedule drawer. The workout returns every week at the same slot, marked with a recurring badge on its chip.
Edit a recurring workout and the Planner asks what you mean, because both answers are sometimes right:
- Only this schedule: this week is different, for a public holiday or a testing day, and the rest of the series is untouched.
- Update the shared plan: the change applies to the series going forward.
- Cancel: back out without changing anything.
Day-to-day tweaks made on the gym floor never touch the shared plan either. A coach editing in the app's preparation drawer is always editing that day's execution only.
If a recurring workout was deleted by someone else while you had it open, the Planner tells you plainly that the workout no longer exists, rather than saving into nowhere.
Reusable templates
A template is a workout you build once and reuse everywhere: schedule it in the Planner, start it from a gym device, or assign it during a migration. The Workouts page under Manage is the template library.
Create template opens the builder, which takes a name and tags, a sortable list of exercise slots that you can drag to reorder, group into supersets or edit several at a time, and a floating Add exercise toolbar for building the list. Create stays disabled until the template has a name and at least one exercise, so half-built templates cannot slip into the library.
The table shows each template's exercise count, estimated duration and tags. Expand a row for an inline summary of the exercises, their sets, intensity and exertion, plus a muscle-usage map showing what the workout actually loads.
Besides building them here, you can save any workout you have assembled in the schedule drawer as a template, and coaches can save session structures as templates from the gym app too. Wherever it was born, it lands in this library.
