Pre-requisite Pro-Tip

Before you set up Remote (at-home) workouts, make sure:

2. Click + New Program.

3. Enter a clear program name (for example: Remote, At-Home, or Online Programming).

4. Enable your preferred Program Settings:

   • Secure programming – Turn this on if you want to hide workouts from clients whose memberships do not include this program.

FAQs

1. Do I need a separate program for Remote, or can I reuse an existing one?
You can do either. Many gyms create a dedicated Remote program for clarity in reporting and scheduling. However, you can also repurpose an existing program by renaming it and updating its settings. Just remember that renaming will affect how that program appears in all existing classes, memberships, and reports.

2. Will Remote classes count toward a client’s attendance limit?
Remote classes count toward a client’s attendance limit only if the associated program / class has Count towards attendance limits enabled. If you want Remote access to be “unlimited” without affecting in-gym attendance caps, leave this setting disabled for the Remote program.

3. Do clients need a membership to see and log Remote workouts?
If Membership Enforcement is enabled, then clients must:

• Have an active membership that includes Program Access to your Remote program, and

• Sign into a Remote class to view the workout and log results.
  If Secure Programming is enabled, only clients with valid program access and an active membership will see those workouts.
