Build training for a group

Where: Web, for coaches

Build and schedule training for a whole group at once. You do this on web.

Steps

A group is a set of clients you manage, such as a class. Open a group, then the Training tab. Your group blocks show as cards above the Group Calendar. Demotu copies the plan to every client in the group.

Start a block for the group

1. Open the group.

2. Open the Training tab. The Group Training section shows.

3. Choose one:

   • New Block (or Create First Block if the group has no blocks yet): in New Group Block, enter a Block Name, a Duration (1 to 12 weeks), and a Start Date, then select Create Block. You can then build and review the workouts before you apply them.

   • Apply Template: in Apply Template to Calendar, you can enter a Display Name. Pick a Block Template (if you have group templates, choose 1v1 Templates or Group Templates first), set the Start Date, then select Apply. The block is scheduled on the group calendar.

Schedule one workout for the group

1. On the Group Calendar, select a day.

2. In Schedule Workout, choose Use Template or Build From Scratch.

3. For Use Template, pick a Workout Template. If you have group templates, you can switch between 1v1 Templates and Group Templates. Check the Date and Start Time. Add a Custom Title if you want one.

4. If the group has blocks, you can set Attach to Group Block to put the workout in a block. (Optional.)

5. Select Schedule. For Build From Scratch, select Build Workout and finish in the workout builder.

Edit a group block

1. Select the block's card. The block opens.

2. Use the icons at the top:

   • Mass Update Dates: move the dates of all workouts in the block.

   • Save as Template: save the block to your templates.

   • Delete Mesocycle: remove the block and all its workouts. A confirm window shows first. You cannot undo it. Mesocycle is the word the screen uses for a block.

3. To copy a week, select Copy this week under that week. In Copy Week {n} to:, pick the weeks and confirm.

4. To delete a week, select Delete this week under that week, then confirm.

Generate or extend blocks for every client in the group

1. Open the group. On the Overview tab, select Mass Generate Block.

2. Choose an Operation Type: Generate New Block, Continue Block (add weeks to existing blocks), or Extend Days (add exercises to existing workouts).

3. Select the clients, then select Next. Set the options.

4. Select Generate for {n} clients, or Extend for {n} clients for Extend Days.

5. Progress shows on the group page. You can close the page. The work goes on.

Use group templates (if you see it)

1. In the left menu, select Group Templates.

2. Pick Workouts, Blocks, or Programs and manage them there.

Common questions

Can I build or change group training in the mobile app?

No. Use web. If another coach shared a group with you, you can tap View programming on mobile to see it week by week.

I changed the group plan. Why didn't one client get it?

That client already started or logged that workout, so they have their own copy.

What happens when I remove a client from the group?

Their planned group workouts are removed. Their logged workouts stay.

Does Mass Generate use my Borelli limit?

Yes. The window shows your monthly Borelli workouts. Extend Days uses 0.5 Borelli workouts per workout.

I do not see Group Templates in the left menu.

It is not turned on for your account. Ask Demotu support.

Who can do this?

Coaches who can edit the group. Group Templates is on some accounts only.
