Entering Sets, Reps & Details (RPE, Rest, Load & Tempo)

The spreadsheet-style table: what you can type in each column and how it shows up for your client.


The workout builder works like a spreadsheet: click a cell, type, and move on. This article covers everything you can put in the Sets, Reps, and Details columns — and how it shows up for your client.

The three columns

Every exercise row has the same three editable cells:

  • Sets — the number of sets (e.g. 4).

  • Reps — reps, a range, or a duration. All of these work: 8, 8-10, 8 e/s (each side), 45 sec, 3 min, 10-12.

  • Details (RPE / rest / load / tempo) — free-form coaching shorthand. Examples: @RPE 7 · rest 90s · 80% 1RM, Tempo 3-1-2, Easy zone 2, Drop set on last.

Click any cell and type — no pop-ups, no extra clicks.

Moving fast

Click into the first cell and use Tab to jump Sets → Reps → Details and on to the next exercise. Enter saves a cell; Escape cancels an edit. Programming a full day should feel like filling in a spreadsheet, not filling out forms.

Sets and reps render as the prescription on the client's exercise card, and the Details text appears word-for-word underneath it — so write details the way you'd say them to the client, not as private notes. (Notes you don't want the client

What your client sees

Sets and reps render as the prescription on the client's exercise card, and the Details text appears word-for-word underneath it — so write details the way you'd say them to the client, not as private notes. (Notes you don't want the client to see don't belong in Details.)

You can sanity-check this any time in the Mobile Preview on the right — it mirrors the client app live as you type.

The live Mobile Preview shows the workout exactly as the client will see it.

Key Notes

  • New exercises start at 3 × 10 with empty details — just overtype.

  • Reps and Details are plain text, so any rep scheme or intensity system you use (RPE, %1RM, RIR, tempo) fits.

  • When a client logs the workout, your numbers stay visible as the target next to what they actually did — see How to View Client's Workout Progress.
