Templates and approvals

Starter programmes, your own templates, and what gets recommended.

A template is a programme you can give to many clients. Each client gets their own copy, which their PT can then tailor without changing the template.

Ironlark starters

Ironlark includes starter templates, from beginner full body to home dumbbells and athletic power. Open one in Programmes to see it, assign it as it is, or Copy to our templates to change it.

Your own templates

Build a template from scratch or from a copy: add workouts, then exercises with sets, reps or hold times, rest and notes. Group exercises into rounds (one set of each, then repeat) with the round button between them.

Cardio, like the rowing machine, SkiErg, treadmill or bikes, is done to a time, a distance or a number of calories: pick which under Goal. Each workout can start with a warm-up and have a session length; see session length and warm-ups.

Set the template's goal, level, days a week and equipment needed. These decide who it's recommended to.

Approving

Approve a template to let the app recommend it to your clients. Approval only decides what's recommended: any template can still be assigned by a PT.

The owner approves templates, and can let trusted PTs do it too: in Team, tick Can approve programme templates next to their name. If anyone else edits an approved template, it goes back to unapproved until it's checked again.
