ACTIVE / INACTIVE
Users can mark a Workout Category as ACTIVE or INACTIVE. If ACTIVE is selected, the Workout Category will be visible for connected web and mobile platforms only if there are Workouts associated to this Workout Category.

Imagery shown on the Workout Category will be fed through the end user's web platform or mobile application. Users should make sure that Workout Category imagery renders well in its intended place (web / mobile).
WORKOUT CATEGORY IMAGERY
Workout Categories can be displayed in connected mobile Applications. Users should select a Workout Category carefully making sure they have taken the following sizing information into consideration.
Mobile applications will render imagery according to the size of the imagery. It is recommended that full screen portrait imagery is cropped so that it is height 1334 px and width 750 px for optimal automatic in-app resizing.
When a 1334 x 750 image is cropped for a Workout Category tile, it is cropped in the centre of the image at 330 px x 330 px as shown below (the image below show Announcement Categories copy - Announcement Category sizing is the same as Workout Category sizing)
When the Workout Category image is presented when the user selects the Workout Category tile for the Workout Category Overview page, the image is re-cropping from the original 1334 x 750 px imagery depending on the number of TAGS that have been associated to this specific Workout Category. You can see the specific sizing of and re-cropping of the image outlined below.
Note that the center of the image will remain the center of the image and the cropping will be done on the height of the image.
It is not recommended that individual Workout Categories have more than 6 TAGS associated to them as the imagery will shrink significantly.
Workout Category title font size will also reduce when more text is added to a specific title. When the characters are too long, the title panels will stretch to 2 or 3 panels and the font size will reduce significantly. It is recommended that Workout Category title are kept as short as possible and Users pay close attention to capitalisation to make sure branding is consistent.
