The FitFocus Workout Builder Just Got a Massive Upgrade

At FitFocus, we design tools for personal trainers, by personal trainers - and our workout builder reflects exactly that. It’s built with a spreadsheet-style interface because we know that’s how coaches think.

Spreadsheets are quick. They’re flexible. And they help you capture ideas without slowing your flow.

Now, with our latest major update, we’ve kept that same intuitive spreadsheet feel you love, making it 10x faster, more powerful, and even easier to use. Same spreadsheet format you know and love, just better.

Same spreadsheet feel, just supercharged

We’ve rebuilt the engine powering the workout builder from the ground up. The result?
Lightning-fast responsiveness - even for complex, multi-week programs.

No more lag. No more waiting. Just instant feedback and silky-smooth editing.

Smarter tools, similar flow

We’ve kept all the essentials that make FitFocus the go-to workout builder for efficient programming - like keyboard shortcuts, real-time validation, and reusable templates - while adding game-changing new features to level up your workflow.

What’s new:

  • Swap exercise order within the same day, drag-and-drop reordering made easy.

  • Enhanced keyboard navigation to make navigating that much easier

  • Rearrange entire days within a week for those inevitable last-minute changes.

  • Optional workout date field structure programs by date if needed.

  • Dynamic days and weeks that adapt to your structure, not the other way around.

  • Multi-line notes for detailed cues and coaching tips.

  • Time-based validation inputs like 15s and 15 seconds are now properly validated.

  • Stricter publishing rules to ensure complete, error-free programs.

  • Async performance boost to improve stability and responsiveness.

Why spreadsheet style works

Calendar-based tools and rigid block builders slow you down. A spreadsheet-style workout builder lets you:

  • Move fast and stay in the zone.

  • Program intuitively using tab/arrow keys.

  • Make quick changes without breaking structure.

  • Scale your programming without losing flexibility.

What’s coming next?

The upcoming client app update will support the new date fields, giving athletes even more clarity on their training schedule.
