Training templates & the exercise library

Training in the Vault has two layers: the exercise library (the building blocks) and workouts (the sessions you assemble from them).

How the library is laid out

Vault → Training puts everything on one row of tabs, grouped by whose library you are looking at. A divider separates each group:

• My: what you built. If you are the account owner or an admin, this is the company’s library rather than a pocket of your own, because that is where your work is saved. Everyone holding owner or admin sees the same shelf here, which is usually what you want: one library the business keeps, not one per person.
• Team: what has been shared with everyone. A coach who is not an owner or admin sees only their own work under My, and the team’s here.
• Protocol: the base library we ship, the same for everyone. It is read-only, so its row offers Import rather than editing. Import a plan, workout or exercise and the copy is yours to edit.

You do not have to copy anything out of Team to use it. Every picker inside a plan offers Mine and Team, and placing a team item into a program makes the program its own copy, so your plans never change under you when the owner edits the original. Duplicate is there on team rows for the other reason: when you want your own version to change.

Both groups are always there. There is no separate mode to turn on, and an account with one coach simply finds its Team tabs empty until it shares something.

Vault → Nutrition works the same way, with the kinds that exist there: My Plans, My Daily Nutrition and My Meals/Recipes, then the team’s, then Foods on its own, then Protocol Plans and Protocol Foods. Foods stands apart because there is one food list per account: everybody works from the same one, so it is neither yours nor the team’s in the way a plan is.

The exercise library

Your exercise library is the catalog of movements you program with, each with its own demonstration media and coaching notes. Protocol ships a base library you can extend with your own exercises so your workouts always pull from movements you trust.

My Exercises → New exercise asks for a name and nothing else, then opens the editor, where everything saves as you type. See Creating custom exercises.

Selecting exercises brings up a bar at the foot of the list with Move to folder, Delete and Share with team (or Remove from team on the Team tab). You can also create straight onto the shelf you are looking at: New exercise on the Team tab makes a shared one without a separate sharing step.

Workouts

A workout is a reusable session you build once from library exercises: sets, reps, weight, RIR/RPE, tempo, rest and notes. Because it is a template, it is not tied to any client until it is scheduled into a plan. See Building a workout.

Getting a workout to a client

A workout does not go to a client on its own. It reaches them through a plan:

1. On My Workouts, the row menu offers Assign to a program, which drops the workout onto a day of an existing plan.
2. Or build the plan first and add workouts to its days from inside the weekly grid. See Editing the weekly grid.

The client then follows it in the mobile app, working through the session, logging each set, and leaving you their results to review.

Plans and programs

For anything longer than a single session, use a plan: a multi-week program that can blend training, nutrition and content. Plans live on the My Plans tab here, and on their own screen at Vault → Mixed Plans.

See Programs and the weekly grid to build one, Assigning a plan to a client for what the client actually receives, and The content library for the videos and documents a plan can carry.
