Create fitness sessions

For tutors, fitness coaches and trainers teachr fitness is a game-changer that will save you money, time, and resources, while also increasing the appeal and scalability of your online fitness business. You can create your fitness challenges, combine them with other activities and create your online course with many building blocks.

Start in your Virtual Campus with your fitness course by creating a new course and section. You can find the fitness building block here:

Go to your course ➝ your Section ➝ add a new building block ➝ (All modules) ➝ Extended Reality ➝ Fitness





In here you can set up a new challenge that contains fitness sessions. You can combine sessions of different fitness exercises with different workouts. The user has passed the challenge if he has completed at least one fitness session (workout or exercises).





teachr currently supports two session dimensions. Time and Distance. Currently one dimension for one type of training. For example, distance is recorded for running and time is recorded for strength training. By syncing the user's iOS (iPhone, Apple Watch) or Android devices with Health and Google Fit, they can track their progress.

teachr obtaining the client’s weight, which plays a crucial role in calibrating the intensity, duration, and type of exercises included in the client’s session. By using this valuable piece of information, you have the power to deliver workout routines that are perfectly suited for each individual.





By considering the user's weight, we can tailor the intensity of the fitness challenge. For instance, users with lower weights can participate in sessions within their respective weight classes.

Therefore, consider the weight, and if you want to run a session for all users, simply set the Condition weight above 1 pound / 1 kg. If you want to specify a different weight, simply add the same session with a different weight value.

Set the time in days that the user is allowed to participate in the sessions from his start. He can start his fitness challenge at any time. This gives the user flexibility to participate in the sessions and finish his online course on his own terms.

The synchronization is done automatically. So you don't need to check the user's progress which gives you more flexibility to concentrate to sell the course.

WARNING

Note that the user can skip entire challenges (not sessions) at any time and still be able to complete the course.

TIP

teachr calculates the given metrics automatically and provides conversions between Imperial (pounds/miles) and Metric (kilograms/kilometers) units. This ensures that regardless of the user's location, the course can be sold worldwide. Describing the challenges in both metrics makes it easier for users to understand.

Preview fitness sessions

For preview sessions you can click on the preview button to take a look to the user's view. However to test the sessions you need an iOS (iPhone, Apple Watch) or Android (Fitness Device) with Google Fit or Apple Health account.


DANGER

Please test your sessions before publishing the course. By personally doing the workouts, you will be able to identify and address any problems that may arise. Additionally, consider the fact that users may have different weights, and ensure that you accommodate this by providing additional sessions for users with varying weight levels. Keep in mind that a user may struggle to complete a challenge if their weight exceeds the weight set in your session.
