What's new in Trainerstudio

Finding an exercise no longer depends on remembering its exact name or which library it came from.

Your exercises and every library's now show up in one list, in Library → Exercises and when you click Add exercise in a plan, program or template. No more copying or importing.

What changes:

• Search the way you talk. Skip accents, change the word order, type just the start of each word, make a typo or use another name for the exercise. You can also search by muscle.
• Yours first. Your favorites at the top, then your exercises, then the libraries'. Before you type, your favorites and what you've used in the last 30 days are already there.
• Favorites and My library. Star any exercise and click My library to see only your exercises and favorites. TrainerStudio remembers your choice on all your devices.
• No more duplicates. If you already have an exercise with that name, TrainerStudio asks before adding another one. Already have duplicates? Merge them: plans, programs, history and records move to the one you keep.
• Make it yours. Edit any library exercise; the original stays as it is.

Since launch, singular and plural return the same results, a typo no longer hides your own exercise, search knows more synonyms and, when you filter to My library, a notice at the top of the list tells you if the exact exercise is in another library. When a library improves the photos, videos or classification of an exercise you use, yours is updated too, and whatever you changed yourself stays. And if you can't find it, click anywhere on the None of these? card to create it.

Available on the web now; it comes to the iOS and Android apps with their next update.

You can now request a signature on a shared PDF from the client profile. TrainerStudio keeps the exact version you send and displays the request in the Academy section of the client's app.

The client opens the document, confirms that they have read it, draws their signature and receives a downloadable copy. They can also decline the request if they do not want to sign.

From Shared files you can track its status, send a reminder, cancel a pending request and download the final PDF. The signed copy includes acceptance details and technical evidence for traceability. This is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified digital-certificate signature.

The new editor lets you combine free text, single choice, multiple choice and configurable scales. Reorder questions and options, preview the client experience and reuse every form from your library.

Then add it to the relevant day in the client's plan. They answer it in their app and can update the submission if they need to correct something.

Their profile brings together every response, filters by form and date, and a progress view for scale questions. Weekly check-ins, initial assessments and other questionnaires no longer require you to compile the data by hand.

Knowing whether a client trained today shouldn't mean opening their plan and counting exercises one by one. Until now the only signal was scanning, item by item, what they'd marked as done: no clear "I'm finished" action from the client, and no alert for you when it happened.

Now the client app can carry a «Finish workout» button. Your client closes their day's session with a tap and you're notified instantly —by push or WhatsApp— with how many exercises they completed.

What changes:

• It's opt-in, and you turn it on. The button is off by default; you enable it from Settings → Client app, next to the other app settings (visibility window, file uploads…). While it's off, nothing changes for anyone.
• Your client finishes whenever they want. A fixed bottom bar with «Finish workout» always at hand. They don't need every exercise marked to close the day, and they can Undo if they slip.
• They can mark everything at once. If exercises are still unmarked, the app offers «Mark everything as completed and finish» or «Finish without completing them» —what you see is the real count, nothing is auto-completed behind your back.
• You get the alert in the moment. The «Workout finished» notification arrives with the client's name and the X/Y of exercises they logged. Push by default; you can add WhatsApp from Settings → Notifications.
• No spam. If the client undoes and finishes the same day again, you don't get a second alert: only the first time counts.

It's the difference between checking who trained and having the app tell you the moment it happens.

Making sure a client doesn't skip their workout shouldn't depend on you remembering to message them at nine in the morning. Until now, reminding them was one more manual message on your to-do list.

Now you can schedule WhatsApp reminders. You add them inside a day of your client's plan, write the message and choose the time; at that time it reaches their phone on WhatsApp, even if they don't have the training app open.

What changes:

• Schedule it once and it sends itself. On a day of the plan, press «+» → «WhatsApp reminder», write the text (up to 100 characters) and the time. The app takes care of the rest.
• It arrives on WhatsApp, from TrainerStudio. The message goes out from the company number —not from your personal phone— and it also stays in your WhatsApp conversation with the client, in case they reply.
• Build it into your programs. Add reminders to a program's days and, when you assign it to a client, they're scheduled automatically on their dates.
• WhatsApp or push? In the same dialog you can choose a Push notification to the client's app instead of WhatsApp.

It's the difference between remembering every nudge yourself and having the app send it for you at exactly the right time.

A circuit that reads well on the sheet doesn't always train well: the client loses the rhythm checking their phone, counting seconds by eye and unsure when to switch exercises. Interval work lives or dies by tempo — and until now that tempo was on each person to keep.

Now any circuit can carry a timer. Press Add timer, choose the format, set the times, and your client trains it guided: a full-screen countdown that tells them exactly what to do every second.

What changes:

• Pick the format you already use. Tabata, Intervals, Stations, EMOM, AMRAP, Density, For time, Rounds for time, Chipper, Ladder and Rounds. Each format shows only the fields that make sense (work/rest, rounds, interval, total duration, time cap…).
• You set the times. Work, rest, preparation and number of rounds. The app computes the total duration and shows it on a timeline before you save.
• The client trains guided, full-screen. Large countdown, colors per phase (prep, work, rest), beeps and vibration on every change, and the screen stays awake. They can pause, skip or finish whenever they want.
• It resumes where they left off. If the session is interrupted, they can pick the circuit back up from where they were.
• No double work. The timer is saved with the circuit in the routine; in interval formats, each exercise's sets follow the timer so you never have to line them up by hand.

It's the difference between telling a client "do this circuit" and handing them a workout that runs itself.
