Workout & Block Templates

Build once, reuse forever: saving and using workout and block templates (merges two older articles).

Templates are anything you build once and plan to reuse. They exist at two levels:

  • Workout templates - a full training day (all blocks and exercises).

  • Block templates - a single section, like your go-to warm-up or a finisher.

If you write the same thing twice, it should probably be a template.

Creating a workout template

Build it under Programs → Workouts → Create New → Workout. Anything you build here is a master copy - a template needs at least one block and one exercise. Ideas that work well: a Foundation day, a Fat Loss circuit day, a Conditioning day, or week-1 versions of each training day in your program.

Already built something great on a client's journey? Save it upward: open the workout's menu (next to the workout name) and choose Save as template.

Save any workout as a reusable template from its ⋯ menu.

Creating a block template

Open the menu on any block and choose Save as template. Saved blocks appear in the Blocks tab of the library, ready to drop into any future workout - exercises, prescriptions, note and all.

Block ⋯ menu → Save as template.

Using templates with clients

Add a workout template to a client's journey, then customize it freely for that person - swap exercises, change loads, add a block. Your edits on the journey never change the template. The template is a snapshot in your library; each client gets their own copy you can individualize.

Key Notes

  • Template names must be unique (capitalization doesn't count as different).

  • A template needs at least 1 block and 1 exercise to save.

  • Templates pair perfectly with repeat scheduling — drop a template on a journey, then set it to repeat (see Set a Workout to Repeat).
