🚀 The FitFocus Workout Builder Just Got a Massive Upgrade

10x Faster. More Powerful. Still Spreadsheet-Simple.

At FitFocus, we design tools for coaches, by coaches. That’s why our workout builder is spreadsheet-style by design — because we know that’s how you think.

Spreadsheets are fast. They’re flexible. And they make it easy to get your ideas down without slowing your flow.

With our latest major update, we’ve supercharged this experience — keeping the intuitive, spreadsheet-style interface you love, and making it 10x faster, more powerful, and even easier to use.

Same spreadsheet format you know and love — just way better.

⚡ Performance That Keeps Up With You

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, Same Familiar Flow

We’ve kept all the core functionality that makes FitFocus the go-to for efficient programming — like keyboard shortcuts, real-time validation, and templates — while adding powerful 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 (client app update to support this coming soon).
  • Dynamic days and weeks — build programs that adapt to your structure, not the other way around.
  • Multi-line notes — provide detailed cues and context where it matters.
  • Time-based validation — inputs like 15s and 15 seconds are now properly validated.
  • Stricter publishing rules — if mandatory fields are missing or invalid, the program won’t publish until it’s fixed.
  • Async performance boost — we now push background tasks to the end of the event loop, improving stability and responsiveness.

💬 Why Spreadsheet Style Works

Unlike clunky calendar-based tools or rigid block builders, our spreadsheet-style format gives you the freedom to:

  • Move quickly and stay in the zone
  • Program intuitively using tab/arrow keys
  • Adjust programs on the fly — without breaking structure
  • Scale your workflow without losing flexibility

Coaches told us they prefer spreadsheets — so we made it better than a spreadsheet.

👀 What’s Coming Next?

We’re updating the client app soon to support the new date fields, giving your athletes even more clarity about their programming timeline.

🙌 Built with Coaches, for Coaches

This update is the result of feedback from hundreds of coaches using FitFocus every day. Your input helps shape what we build — and how we build it.
