Tempo training
Adding in space to create tempos for training

Hi everyone!
Thanks so much for all the thoughtful input and great conversation around this topic. It’s clear how passionate many of you are about delivering high-quality coaching experiences!
Just a quick note to share (and echo what a few of you have already pointed out), you can include details like Tempo, RPE, RIR, and more by using the ‘target’ text box within any exercise.
These notes will appear right alongside the exercise when your client completes their sets, helping to guide their effort and intent.
The box does have a limit, but allows a decent amount of direction for these components. If you’d like to provide additional context, for example, explaining what Tempo means for newer clients, the Instructions section of the workout is a great place to do that.
We know some of you are looking for even more specificity, and we’re always listening. In the meantime, these tools can help bridge the gap and keep your programming clear and effective.
Thanks again for your continued feedback and collaboration!

Just a suggestion for all the people in the comments here. I've been using trainerize for 8 years now and haven't really had a problem with this. I just write it in the reps/notes section like so:
EXAMPLE
10-15 / 3010 / RPE 8 / pause final repreps / tempo / RPE(intensity) / *additional note if needed*
Keep the use of words to the absolute lowest possible when writing notes.

This! Please. In general, just break up the sections in the workout builder; sets, reps, tempo, RIR, RPE, notes. Break them up or allow us to add them on in a clean looking fashion.

A place where you can input tempos or pulses or pauses within the exercises given that can show also when I client goes back to see their prior weights!

I would like to propose adding execution time to one exercise, split in 4 moments (excentric; limit of ROM; concentric; movement to the starting point) on each set. This way I could start with one slow concentric set por example

I'm surprised this isn't added yet! i operate heavily on tempo and i have to add it in the reps section (eg. 15 - 3:0:1:0) it's long and confusing for clients.

Adding the tempo to the reps performed will be great. Perhaps as a metronome as the client is performing the reps.

I would like to be able to add in the tempo for each set. This should be in the workout builder alongside the reps and sets. Thank you

Add the ability to change:
- change reps and weights for different sets for an exercise
- assign tempoChange:
- separate weight and reps into separate columns
- add the ability to exchange rep/ ranges w/ percentages, RPE scaleThe basic “3 sets of 10” works for some clients but when you are programming for competitors, athletes, or seasoned lifters it can be limiting

There could also be a tag that specifies whether an exercise is focused on Eccentric, Isometric, or Concentric (this would be the default I assume).

This is a basic training concept....this absolutely should already exist. Deal breaker for many trainers.

It's better to have more text box to add training tempo

Anyone that lands here, look on the right of your screen and search "tempo." Add your vote on the other suggestion that has +1,000 votes. You'll have more impact that way.

How has this not been added yet? It's a must-have for program design.

How is this not already a feature?
