In CoreCoach a client's training is delivered as a program. A program is made of one or more blocks; each block is a run of training days (with a repeat count), and each day holds the exercises, sets and reps. Build the program once, then assign it to as many clients as you like.

Create a program

  1. In the left menu, click Programs, then Programs.

  2. Click + Add programs (top right). CoreCoach creates a new program with one 7-day block and opens the program builder.

  1. On the Settings tab, give the program a name and optional description. Leave Publish on so the program can be assigned (turn it off to keep it as a draft). Turn on Share with team if other coaches on your account should be able to use it.

  1. On the Structure tab, build the block: name it, set how many times it repeats, mark each day as a training day or rest day using the two icons next to the day name, and add exercises to each training day. Click the + next to the block tab to add another block, or the copy icon to duplicate it. For the detail on building days and exercises see How to build a training day and How to create a training block.

  2. Click Save (top right). If you leave the builder, CoreCoach asks whether to close, keep editing or delete the program.

Assign the program to a client

  1. In the program builder, click Assign clients (top right), or open the Clients tab and click + Assign client.

  2. Pick the client from the list (search by name if you have many).

  3. Leave Schedule on and set the start date (it defaults to today; click the pencil to change it). CoreCoach warns you if the dates overlap another program already scheduled for that client.

  4. Click Assign program. The client now appears under Assigned clients on the program's Clients tab, and the program shows on their profile under Training.

You can also assign from the Clients page: click the three-dot menu on the client's row and choose Assign program, then pick the program from your templates.

Managing programs

The Programs page lists everything you have built, with an Active tab for published programs and a Drafts tab for unpublished ones. Each row shows the description, duration and how many clients are on it. Use the three-dot menu on a row for further actions, and Filter or the search box to find a program.
