Effective communication and consistent feedback are the cornerstones of effective program design. And as we all know, what’s happening off the gym floor is just as important for a coach to keep tabs on as workout results. After all, if your client is stressed out of their mind, not sleeping, and drinking zero water, they’re probably not going to get great results no matter how hard they train!

As a coach, you understand the importance of measuring progress to drive success. After all, you can only move what you measure. That’s where Fitness Monitoring Exercises (FMEs) come in.

The Warmups Index in CoachRx is designed to alleviate the hassle of creating warmups from scratch. It allows you to build a library of commonly used warmup sets, saving you time and effort in your program design process. No more reinventing the wheel for every client session!

If you’ve been coaching for any period of time then you know that what your clients do outside of the gym will make or break their progress. That’s why CoachRx makes it just as simple to deliver daily lifestyle programming as it does exercises.

This one’s for all of the coaches trying to maintain strong online relationships with their clients (and even for in-person coaches who leverage CoachRx to reach their clients beyond the gym walls).

It may sound simple, but taking a beat between performing an assessment and designing a training program to write down your client’s priorities is an often overlooked step that is essential for keeping your designs on track.

Take the time to write a daily plan (aka training split) for each client at the beginning of every new cycle, so that you have a skeleton guiding you and you aren’t guessing when it comes to writing their weekly program design.
