Ability to label sections or blocks for each workout such as warmup, strength, assistance, skills, mobility, cool down, etc.
Currently there is no distinction between areas/sections of the workout such as warmup, movement prep, strength, assistance, met-con, skills, cool down, mobility/stretching, etc.
It would be great to have the sections labeled or the ability to create a custom area/section.
It would also be great to have templates for each area/section that could be saved and easily placed into the other workouts
For Example:
Warmup:
Rower @ 5 minutes
Movement Prep:
2 Rounds
10 Air Squats
10 Leg Swings
10 KB Swings
10 Lateral Lunges
Strength:
Back Squat 5,5,5,5,5 @ 75%
Assistance:
4 Rounds
10 KB Split Squat
10 KB RDL
Stretch/Mobility:
Foam Roll @ 2 min
Couch Stretch @ 1 min

It'd be nice if you could put a label on the sections of your workouts when you 'superset' or 'circuit' them. So you can have mobility prep, speed mechanics, warmup....

Warm up and cool down clearly marked

When you schedule the warm up and cool down separately it counts towards their total number of workouts. Even rest days count if the check it off completed.
A box to check off for the trainer if its a workout vs non workout would be good. At the end of the month the starts are off because they didn't actually do that many workouts.

When building custom workouts for clients you typically have to either copy a pre-created workout that's already built or look up exercises one by one.
The idea I suggest would allow trainers to be able to effectively and quickly import pre-created workout sets into an individual workout and select which ones to have enter or not.
For example I could put together an "agility ladders" set that could be imported into a singular workout. Prior to having the pre-selected exercises enter the workout I envision a pop-up box of my "agility ladders" protocol coming up where I can select or unselect certain exercises for that client.
In other words a customizable protocol option where it would be possible to store my favorite exercises of a given type that could then be selected to put into a workout.
This way there wouldn't have to be 4-5 different workouts on a given day for a client for different name customizable sections such as strength, plyometrics, agility drills, core conditioning, cardio etc. If I could import selected exercises from 2-5 workouts into a given singular workout I would have a lot of flexibility and time saved to meet my clients needs.
I could click on my personalized protocol set which would have a pop-up box with all the exercises in that set which I could unselect those that I wouldn't want to add to my clients program immediately.
TheraOffice (a physical therapy software system) allows for customizable exercise protocols that can be selected, quickly altered, and then imported into a given individual's plan. I would like to see the same thing with Trainerize.

YES!! This is a huge feature that Trainerize is missing. It makes programming much easier for trainers and makes the format so much easier to follow for clients! Please add this in ASAP!!

Ability to add previously saved workouts/ specific sections of a workout straight into the workout builder. For example, You could add in a previously made warmup from another program straight into a new workout from within the builder. This will save you time having to reinvent the wheel every time.
This feature would allow you to search for a workout from your library and add either the whole workout or a particular section of the workout straight into your editing page.
PT distinction has a similar future that I would love to see trainerize adopt.

I have clients who like to follow a pre recorded video warm up because the intervals for customized workouts don't loop. With having to pay for pre recorded video credits per played video, this uses up your credits/hours very quick. If there could be a "warm up" that doesn't count, that would be great.

PLEASE add this feature! The fact that we can't save warm-ups or other sections of workouts is really frustrating. This seems like something that literally every other similar platform offers and it's the only reason I debate leaving Trainerize. Programming takes FOREVER and just this simple thing would save so much time.

YES! My current work-around is making a "warm up circuit" and telling the client (in the workout notes) to ignore the timer, just follow the reps. Then follow the timer for the circuit. It feels confusing for them, though.

YES! This what I just wrote a suggestion for. You wrote it much better. LOL. What she said! ^^

When creating a program a warmup section and cool down section separate from the main workout would be valuable. Especially when creating circuit training workouts. Right now it looks like they are to do the whole warmup and cooldown each time they do the main workout circuit... instead of before and after the main circuit workout. This is a big one for me.

@trainerize, is this being worked on?

One feature other apps have that is really useful is the ability to create reusable blocks within a workout. For example, I have a standard full body warmup that I use for every workout. It would be nice to have a "saved blocks" section of the Master Library. I know I can get around it by saving a template workout with my standard warm up and cool down, but it would be great to build a library of workout modules like specific supersets, circuits, EMOMs etc instead of having to build them out every single time.

When creating a new workout or a new program be able to merge many workouts into one or stack multiple programs one right after an another.

I think what would be great would be an easier way to program / make workouts for clients. I do have templates for clients which makes it easier to program. But I do find that most clients that do custom/individual programs with me have similar issues but are different levels of intensity of what they can handle or do in terms of the exercises/drills.
I would like to see a feature where you could create exercise blocks/supersets separately from a program. This could be in a superset/circuit/etc. with all sets/reps/rest already made. That way when you're building a program for a client, you could pick and choose from your already customized exercise blocks and just plug them into a program instead of having to choose a template program and ungroup a superset/circuit and search for a different exercise for that particular client then recreate the whole superset/circuit again.
This would eliminate a lot of extra clicks and hassle of building a customized program and would make creating a program a whole heck of a lot easier and faster.

Can we add a “FINISHER” section
-
Tom McKenny commented
This would be awesome

Lauren Zins commented
Would also be great to be able to comment on an entire section. For example “Strength section - push yourself on weight but not time. Take all the rest you need” or “circuit - the idea is to keep moving quickly the whole time. Choose a weight that will allow you to move through the entire circuit continuously without breaks”

I have several specific circuits that I use that I want to drag and drop into workouts that I'm building for clients. The combination of the circuits isn't always the same, so I don't want to build 100 different workouts with each possible combination.
