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.

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.
