How to use Fitness Plans, Workouts, and Exercises on the SHC Platform

This module gives you the ability to offer personalized fitness plans for your members.

 INTRODUCTION TO FITNESS PLANS

A personalized Fitness Plan can be created by an Instructor for a member using the Smart Health Clubs platform. A Fitness Plan consists of several different Workouts. Each workout consists of several different exercises. To create a Fitness Plan, an Instructor can follow the following process on the Web App : 

Step 1 - Create an Exercise or choose from a list of existing Exercises provided by SHC	An Exercise on the SHC Platform is an activity that is performed by a member and is the lowest component required in the hierarchy of a Fitness Plan can be a part of one of the two categories - Strength Training and Cardiovascular. An Exercise includes details such as Weight Lifted, Reps, Calories burnt, Muscle Targeted, Equipment, etc.
Step 2 - Create a Workout Template consisting of various Exercises.	A Workout Template is another component which is required to create Fitness Plans. A Workout Template consists of a set of exercises that can be either Cardio or Strength Training. The purpose of creating a Workout Template is to combine a set of exercises to eventually add them to a Fitness Plan. For example - You can create a Workout Template focused on the Upper body which consists of a set of Upper body Exercises and eventually add this Workout to a Fitness Plan.
Step 3 - Create a Fitness Plan with various Workouts.	A Fitness Plan is the last component and consists of a set of workouts that have been created. These Fitness Plans can further be assigned to individual Clients by an Instructor.

 

1.0 CREATE AN EXERCISE 

SHC provides a set of exercises in the Library and a club can choose to use these exercises or create a new one if they cannot find the desired exercise in the existing library. 

• An exercise can be shared at 3 levels. 
  • Trainer or individual level - The exercise can only be viewed and edited by only the person who has created it. 
  • Club level - If the individual donates the exercise to the Club (by adding it to Club Library), then it can be viewed and edited by everyone who is a staff member at the club. 
  • Global level - If a club donates an exercise is given to SHC, then the exercise is added to the SHC library of exercises.
