Building

Your exercise library

Every exercise you program comes from the library. An athlete's app experience hangs off the library entry. The demo video, the description, the coaching cues, and the movement's history across programs all live on the exercise. None of it lives on the row you typed it into. Curating the library is time that pays back on every program you write.

Scopes: All, Org, System

The Exercises section (under /BUILD) has three scope tabs:

  • Org — your organization's shared library. Every exercise you create lands here, and everyone in the org can use it.
  • System — the built-in catalog that ships with the builder.
  • All — both together, the default place to browse.

Search and the Type and Tags filters apply to whichever scope you select.

Creating an exercise

New Exercise asks for:

  • Name and Type.
  • Tags — added inline. If a tag doesn't exist yet, create it on the fly.
  • Description, plus Coaching notes — the cues surface for athletes alongside the movement.
  • Video link — paste a URL to a demo clip. Athletes get the clip with the movement in the app. A demo video is the single highest-value field for athletes who see a movement for the first time.

New exercises belong to your org's library. There is no private, per-coach exercise list. You can edit or delete anything in the org library. System entries are read-only.

In the app, an athlete opens an exercise to its demo video and its cues under HOW TO. The fields you fill in here are what they read.

System exercises: duplicate to edit

You can't edit System entries in place. They're shared ground truth. If a system exercise is almost right but you want your own cues or video, use Duplicate to edit. The command forks the entry into your org library. The copy is fully yours to change. The original stays untouched for everyone else.

Tags

Tags are the library's connective tissue. They filter the exercise list, carry onto programs, and keep a growing library findable. The Tags section (under /BUILD) manages tags directly:

  • Scope tabs All / Org / System, plus search.
  • New tag — creates a tag deliberately. Inline creation while you tag an exercise covers most needs.
  • Archive / Restore — retire a tag without breaking history.
  • Usage counts on every tag ("Used in n exercises · n programs"). The counts help you spot duplicates and dead tags worth archiving.
