Creating training plans: step by step

3 min read

What are templates and what do you use them for?

A template is a training plan you create once and can then assign to several members. You do not need to rebuild a good plan each time: simply assign it again.

A template consists of weeks, and each week consists of training days. Add exercises for each day.

📍 Find templates through the left menu: Training V2 → Templates V2

The overview screen

At the top are four statistics: the total number of templates, how many there are at each level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced) and how many have already been assigned to members.

Use the tabs All, Mine and AI to filter by template type.

Step 1: Create a new template

There are three ways:

Option A — Create manually

  1. Click the blue + button in the top right

  2. Give the plan a name, level and category

  3. Click Create

Option B — Generate with AI

  1. Click ✦ Generate template with AI in the top right

  2. Type a description, for example: "8-week strength and running plan, 3 days per week, for a beginner"

  3. AI creates the complete plan, including sets, repetitions and rest times

  4. Always check the result and adjust where necessary

Option C — Copy an existing template

  1. Click the three dots (⋯) next to a template

  2. Choose Duplicate

  3. The copy is fully independent: changes do not affect the original

Step 2: Add weeks and days

Managing weeks:

  • Click + Add week to add a new week

  • Click Duplicate week to copy an existing week (useful for repeating programs)

  • Switch between weeks using the tabs at the top: Week 1, Week 2, and so on

Managing days:

  • Click a day (Mon, Tue, Wed...) to open it

  • Click + Add day to add an extra training day

  • Click AI day to have AI generate a complete training day: you choose which equipment is available

Step 3: Add exercises to a day

The exercise library appears on the left of the screen. Click an exercise or drag it to the day to add it. Filter the library using four tabs:

  • Recent — exercises you have used recently

  • Library — all standard FITsociety exercises

  • Mine — exercises you created yourself

  • AI — AI-generated exercises

Step 4: Set the details for each exercise

Click an exercise to set sets, repetitions and rest time (in seconds).

Click + Advanced options for more settings:

  • Type — choose how performance is tracked: weight + repetitions, duration, distance, etc.

  • Per set — enable this to set different values for each set

  • Repetition range — set a range, e.g. 8–10 reps

  • RPE — indicates how hard it should feel (scale 1–10)

  • Set log — enable this so the member can track their weights and reps

  • Notes — write an instruction or coaching tip for the exercise

Creating supersets

A superset combines two or more exercises performed one after the other without rest in between.

  1. Add the exercises to the training day

  2. Click Create superset (in the top right of the exercise section)

  3. Select the exercises you want to combine

You can also create trisets (3 exercises) and giant sets (4+).

Viewing muscle focus

On the right of the template screen is a Muscle focus panel. It displays a body figure with colors indicating which muscle groups the plan trains. Use this as a quick check of whether the plan is balanced.

Printing a plan or saving it as a PDF

In the top right, click Print / PDF.

  • Layout — e.g. "Complete handout"

  • Document language — automatic or a fixed language

  • What to include — select: exercise images, technique instructions, QR codes

Click Create preview to view the PDF, then download or print it.

Manage categories

Click Manage categories in the top right of the template overview to create new categories (e.g. "Strength", "Cardio"), rename existing ones or remove them.
