How do I assign a program to a client and set its start date?
Copy or subscribe a program to clients, choose scheduled or on-demand delivery, and set or change the start date.
A phased program reaches a client one of two ways. Copy to client gives them an independent copy, and the editor's Subscribed Clients tab subscribes them to the shared program. On the client's profile a copy is tagged "Copied" and a subscription "Subscribed". Structured programs work differently — they're a one-time copy onto the calendar.
Copy a phased program to clients
- Go to Training → Programs → Phased programs, open the program's row menu, and choose Copy to client.
- Pick the clients.
- Choose the Delivery.
Schedule to calendardefaultOn-demand library
- Schedule to calendar — the program runs on dates. Pick a program start date, or leave it as Let the client choose.
- On-demand library — the program has no dates. The client gets a permanent workout library and starts workouts whenever they like.
- Confirm.
Each client gets an independent copy. The master stays untouched, and you can customize each client's copy from then on.
Subscribe clients from the program editor
The program editor's Subscribed Clients tab adds clients to the shared program directly, rather than making a per-client copy. From it you can add clients, see each client's start date and phase, and remove clients. On the client's profile the program is tagged "Subscribed"; use Unsubscribe client there to take it away.
Deliver without a start date
If you chose Schedule to calendar and left the start date as Let the client choose:
- The client sees the program marked Not started, with a prompt on their Home screen to choose a start date.
- Nothing lands on their calendar until they pick a date. When they choose a day, the whole program is scheduled from it and phase 1 begins on that day. They also get a one-tap Start today shortcut.
- Before choosing, the client can add independent copies of individual program workouts to days of their choosing. Those copies don't count toward the program's progress, and stay put once a start date is chosen.
Set or change a program's start date
- Open the client's profile and go to Training → Programs.
- Open the program's menu and choose Set start date, or Change start date if it already has one.
- Pick the day.
Both options are hidden for past programs and for on-demand libraries, which have no dates at all. Clients can only re-date a program themselves while nothing in it has been started or completed — after that, date changes come from you.
Deliver a program as an on-demand library
On-demand delivery gives the client a permanent library instead of a dated plan:
- The program has no dates and never places anything on the calendar by itself.
- The client sees it in an On-demand section of their Training Programs screen and can start any workout at any time. The session logs to the day they do it.
- On the client's Programs view, progress shows as "X of N done" — distinct workouts completed at least once. Repeating a workout doesn't advance the count.
- An on-demand program never completes and never moves to past programs. To take one away, unsubscribe the client — or, if you copied it to them, use Delete program on their copy.
Copy a structured program to clients
From the structured program editor, click Copy to client calendars, pick up to 10 clients, choose a start date of today or later, and optionally narrow the day range. This is a one-time copy: later edits to the program don't reach the client. Clients are notified only if a copied workout lands on today in their timezone.
