WORKOUTS

Workouts are created in Fisikal by packaging Exercises together. Users can create a Workout with a specific group of Exercises which they can assign to Clients as generic Workouts or personalised for a specific Client or group of Clients.

Note - it is not possible to create a Workout if you have not already created a Workout Category, Exercise Category or Exercise library. Click HERE to view an article on how these sections work.
