What's new in Trainerstudio

Most of you program strength in intensity percentages: 3 × 5 at 85%, deload at 60%, heavy week at 80%. That's how a routine makes sense to read.

The problem comes when you assign it: every client has a different 1RM, so you have to translate that 85% into kilos one by one. With ten clients, you multiply the time by ten. And every time someone hits a new max, back to the routine you go.

We've moved that step into the editor. Mark the weight column as Calculate from 1RM, type the percentage and TrainerStudio shows you the resulting kilos next to it, using the client's latest 1RM.

What changes:

• You prescribe in %, the client sees kilos. The routine keeps your language (intensity) and the client sees what they need (weight).
• It recalculates itself. If the client's bench goes from 100 to 110 kg, all their active routines reflect the new weight without you touching anything.
• A single % or a range. Both 75 % and 70-80 % work (deloads, autoregulation).
• No recorded 1RM? Set it inline. A Set 1RM button appears in the cell: press it, type the weight, and the kilos appear instantly across the routine.
• No recent test? Estimate it. In the editor's 1RM panel, Estimate from a set asks for weight, reps and optionally RIR/RPE. It shows you Epley, Brzycki and Lombardi side by side; you pick one and save it.
• Rebuilt mobile editor. Larger inputs, set type as a badge with a caret, the same templates menu as on desktop and a better touch area per accordion. The 1RM panel only appears if the routine has a load column; if not, only the History tab remains.

It's what we'd been wanting to give you for a while: assigning the same routine to a new client should no longer cost you half an hour with a calculator.

Editing a client's plan no longer means treading carefully. From now on there are two ways to go back, and they complement each other.

Real undo and redo. The planner's undo button covers every action: creating or deleting blocks, moving exercises between days, copying a week, hiding days, bulk-replacing exercises, assigning a program or editing sets. If you go too far, redo brings the change back. The classic keyboard shortcuts work as you'd expect.

We've also fixed a couple of legacy behaviors that caused trouble: a move between blocks is now reverted in one go (before, undo only reverted half of the move), changes to day visibility are recorded too, and editing a session that has already happened no longer blocks undo. If several coaches work on the same client, each one only reverts their own changes, without stepping on anyone else's work.

Plan change history. From the View → Change history menu you open a side panel where you can save up to 10 complete snapshots of the client's upcoming plan, with an optional label. TrainerStudio also saves automatic versions while you edit and always creates a "before restoring" version before a restore, so even if you restore the wrong thing you can go back without losing anything. Saved versions don't expire: they stay there until you decide to delete them.

Preview before restoring. Press the eye icon on any version and a window opens in columns, one per day, with the blocks, exercises, sets and instructions of that snapshot. Read-only: compare, decide and then restore (or not). It saves you the "oops, that wasn't the one".

Editable labels. Click the name of any version to rename it inline — handy if you saved something in a rush and now want to give it a name that means something to you. Enter saves, Esc cancels.

Delete versions. Each row has a bin button to remove snapshots you no longer need. It only deletes the snapshot; the client's current plan is not touched. It's how you make room when you reach the limit of 10.

Restoring is just one more action in your undo history: if after applying an old version you realize it wasn't what you wanted, one click on undo and you're back where you were. Internal block identifiers are preserved, so any client data linked to them stays correctly connected.

It's the safety net we'd been wanting to give you for a while: experiment, try progressions, copy whole weeks. If something goes wrong, undo it. And if you want to mark a point to come back to in a few weeks, save a version.

You can now prepare workouts in advance and decide which days each client can see. When you hide a day, you still see the planned workouts in the planner, but the client sees that day as empty, just as if nothing had been assigned yet.

This is useful when you want to prepare future weeks without revealing the full plan, adjust a progression before sharing it, or work with clients who should only see the part of the program they need right now.

From each day menu you can hide or show that day. If you are working with several days at once, you can also select them and apply the action in bulk, just like the other bulk actions in the planner.

Hidden days are marked for the coach, so you can quickly tell which content is already prepared but not visible to the client yet. When you are ready to publish it, show the day again and the client will be able to see it in their app.

You can now turn on automatic alerts to find out, in real time, what your clients are doing without having to open the app. When a client completes a task, uploads a progress photo, logs a metric or answers a form, you get a notification.

For each of those four events you pick the channel you want to be notified through: a push notification on your phone, a WhatsApp message to the number you register, or both at once. You set it up once and it stays active for all of your clients.

It's designed for those moments when you need to react quickly: a question that shows up in a form, a progress photo that deserves a motivating message, a metric that confirms things are going in the right direction. You decide what you care about and how you'd like to be told, and the platform takes care of getting it to you.

The routine planner now has a spreadsheet-style editing mode to work on sets with more speed. Instead of opening and closing fields one by one, you can type values directly into a table and review the routine with more perspective.

It is designed for those moments when you have to tweak many variables: loads, reps, rest, times, tempos or any other piece of data you use to program a client's work.

For you it means fewer clicks and less time fixing small details. If you program blocks with several sets or work with week-by-week progressions, you can finalise the routine more smoothly and devote more attention to what really matters: what each client needs and how they should progress.

Planner tasks can now carry several attached resources. You can add images, videos, PDFs, external links or YouTube and Vimeo videos within a single task.

This works well for everything that does not fit as an exercise set: mobility, technique, habits, educational material, questionnaires, recommendations or tasks the client needs to complete between sessions. Instead of sending instructions over WhatsApp or scattering them across different places, they stay inside the plan, on the right day and next to the corresponding task.

The result for the client is more clarity. For you, fewer repeated questions and a more professional delivery without adding extra steps to the way you work.
