Organising Workouts into Categories

Overview

Categories group your workouts into the sections clients browse in the app — things like “Strength”, “Conditioning”, or “Mobility”. The order you set here is the order clients see, so categories are as much about presentation as organisation.

1. View Your Categories

1. In the sidebar, go to Workouts → Categories.
2. Each row shows the category name, a colour tone derived from that name, and the number of workouts currently in it.

2. Create a Category

1. Click New category in the top-right corner.
2. Enter a Name — e.g. “Strength”.
3. Optionally add a Category image, used to illustrate the category in the client app.
4. Save to add it to the list.

3. Set the Display Order

The order of this list is the order clients see in the app. You have three ways to change it:

• Drag a row by its handle to move it.
• Use the arrows on a row to nudge it up or down.
• Set a position manually by typing a number.

There’s also a Sort A → Z button if you’d rather order the whole list alphabetically in one step.

4. Open a Category

Click any category to open it. From the detail page you can:

• See every workout assigned to that category.
• Reorder the workouts within it by dragging — this controls the order clients see inside the category.
• Rename the category, or delete it, from the actions menu.

5. Assign Workouts to Categories

Workouts are assigned from the workout itself, not from the category page. Open a workout in the editor and pick its categories there — a workout can belong to more than one.

6. Deleting a Category

Deleting a category is safe for your content. The workouts inside it stay intact — they simply stop being grouped under that category. You’ll be asked to confirm before the category is removed.

Tips

• Put your most popular category first. The top of the list gets the most taps, and reordering takes seconds.
• Keep the number of categories small. Five clear groups browse far better on a phone than fifteen narrow ones.
• Because a workout can sit in several categories, you can surface the same session under both a goal (“Fat loss”) and a format (“20 minutes or less”) without duplicating it.
