How do I mark a set as a warm-up, dropset, or failure set?

Every set in the workout editor has a type. By default, new sets are Regular. You can change any set to a Warm Up, Dropset, or Failure set using the dropdown on the set number in the exercise card.

Steps to change a set type

1. Open a workout in the workout editor (from Workouts, a client's calendar, or a program).
2. Find the exercise whose set you want to change.
3. On the set row, click the set number button (for example, 1, 2, 3). A small chevron arrow next to the number indicates it is clickable.
4. A dropdown appears with four options:
   • R — Regular (blue)
   • W — Warm Up (green)
   • D — Dropset (orange)
   • F — Failure (red)
5. Click the set type you want. The set number changes to the corresponding letter and colour.
6. Click Save workout at the top right to keep the change.

How each set type displays

After you select a set type, the set number column updates:

• Regular — displays the set number (1, 2, 3…) in blue.
• Warm Up — displays W in green.
• Dropset — displays D in orange.
• Failure — displays F in red.

The colour and letter appear both in the coach dashboard and in the client's mobile app.

What the client sees

When a client opens the workout in the app, each set shows the same letter prefix and colour as the coach set. If the client taps a non-regular set indicator (W, D, or F), an info sheet opens with a description of that set type:

• Warmup sets — "Before your main sets, do warmup sets with lighter weights and higher reps. This increases blood flow and flexibility, reducing injury risk and improving performance."
• Drop sets — "To perform dropsets, start with a weight you can lift until reaching muscle fatigue. Then, quickly reduce the weight and continue for more reps. This technique maximizes muscle engagement and endurance."
• Failure sets — "Push your muscles to their limit with failure sets. Perform reps until you can't maintain proper form. This promotes muscle growth and strength but remember to prioritize safety."

The set type does not change which fields the client fills in. All set types show the same input fields (weight, reps, time, distance, and rest) based on the exercise category. Clients log their results in the same way regardless of set type.

Where set types are available

The set type dropdown appears on every set row in the workout editor, including exercises in Regular and Interval sections. For exercises in AMRAP or Timed sections, the sets still display and the set type dropdown is still available, but the Add Set button is hidden since those formats do not use a fixed set count.

Things to watch out for

• The set type dropdown is on the set number itself, not on the exercise card's three-dot menu. Click the number (or letter) on the left side of the set row to open it.
• Adding a new set duplicates the last set, including its type. If your last set is a Dropset, the new set will also be a Dropset.
• Set type is a visual label and coaching cue. It does not lock or change any input fields — the client fills in the same weight, reps, time, or distance fields regardless of set type.
• Changes only apply after you click Save workout. Closing the editor without saving discards any set type changes.
