Sell Training Plans

A Training Plan is a structured series of workouts organized by week, designed to help athletes achieve specific goals. Whether it’s improving a 2k time, building endurance for a half marathon, or mastering sprints, training plans provide a clear roadmap for progress.

With ErgZone, coaches can create and sell training plans directly to athletes, providing a seamless way to deliver structured programming. Athletes purchase a plan once and can restart or repeat it as many times as they like, making it a flexible and valuable tool for ongoing training.

Features of Training Plans on ErgZone

Performance Tracking: ErgZone automatically tracks athletes’ performances throughout the training plan, providing summaries to help athletes and coaches monitor progress over time.

Flexible Workout Logging: Athletes can complete workouts by connecting the ErgZone app to their equipment’s monitor for automatic data tracking or manually entering their results.

Manual Result Entry: To ensure accessibility, ErgZone includes a “Manual Result” option for athletes without access to a compatible monitor. This allows anyone—regardless of the equipment they use—to follow a training plan and keep track of their progress within the app.

The screenshots below demonstrate how training plans are displayed for athletes and how the interface updates as they complete their workouts.

Load Workouts to a Training Plan

Once you’ve created your training plan, the next step is to add workouts. Follow these steps to structure your training plan effectively:

1. Open Your Training Plan

• In the ErgZone web admin, navigate to the training plan you created.
• Click on the “Workouts” tab.

2. Add a New Workout

Click the “New Workout” button to begin adding sessions.

During workout creation, you’ll be prompted to provide the following details:

Week & Day Selection

• Week: Select the week the workout belongs to from a dropdown

  (Week 1 to the total number of weeks in the plan).

• Day: Choose a day (1–7) for the workout.

  If your training plan includes rest days, skip those days when adding workouts.

Example:

Day 1: Workout 1

Day 2: Rest

Day 3: Workout 2

How it appears to the athlete in the schedule:

Day 1 – Workout 1

Day 3 – Workout 2

Optional Workouts

You can mark a workout as optional by selecting the checkbox.

Optional workouts do not impact progress calculations, so if an athlete skips them, it won’t affect their completion stats.

Warm-up & Cooldown

If your training plan includes a warm-up and a cooldown, we recommend adding them directly to the schedule for each workout. This ensures athletes have clear guidance on preparing for and recovering from their sessions.

For Suggested Warm-Up/Cooldown: Mark the workout as “Optional” so that if skipped, it does not impact the athlete’s progress calculation.

For Required Warm-Up/Cooldown: Do not select the “Optional” checkbox, ensuring athletes complete these sessions as part of their structured plan.

By including warm-ups and cooldowns in the schedule, coaches can help athletes optimize performance and recovery while maintaining a well-structured training flow

Workout Type & Details

Workout Type: Select the type of exercise equipment (e.g., rower, bike, ski, or other compatible equipment).

Title: Provide a clear workout title.

If multiple workouts are assigned to the same day, they will be ordered alphanumerically based on their title.

Labels (Optional): Add any relevant labels to help categorize the workout.

Workout Description & Structure

Description: Use this field to outline the workout details. Be sure to include any critical instructions or athlete-specific notes.

Intervals: Define the workout’s interval structure as needed.

3. Save & Repeat

Continue adding workouts until the training plan is fully structured.

Review the plan to ensure the sequence and descriptions are accurate.
