Overview
What are workouts?
Most commonly used by "open gym" style facilities like CrossFit, this feature allows you to write out workout plans that become accessible to your customers via their Momence mobile app, and can also be seen on digital "whiteboards", using display screens within your studio.
Digital white boards (which can be any color) display on screens in your gym at times of your choosing, for customers to walk in and immediately know what the workout of the day is.
Once you've activated the Workouts App within your Admin dashboard, your customers in the mobile app will see a "Workouts" tab where the workout of the day appears on the day its scheduled. During setup, you'll also see an option to allow your customers to score their workout results.
Once you've activated this app within your Admin dashboard, your customers in the mobile app see a "Workouts" tab where the workout of the day appears.
In addition, when you are setting up a workout for your customers, you'll see an option to allow your customers to score their workout results.
Where will it show in my dashboard?
After you activate Workouts from the App store, it will display right under Appointments. Workouts will show three sub-sections: Programming, Workout List (templates), and Tracks.
Scheduling
How does scheduling work?
After you activate Workouts from the App store, it will display right under Appointments. Workouts will show two sub-sections: Workout List (Templates) and Programming (Scheduling of those templates). After creating a template from Workout List, you can schedule one using Programming.
When creating a template, you'll see options name the workout type, describe it, and add components -- the actual things the customer will need to do in the workout. Components have assignable measurement types to fit the most common workouts, like Time, Reps, or "None" if neither applies.
Examples could be:
Run 5k - (you'd select None for this, and the customer would only see "Run 5k")
Plank - 2 minutes
Deadlift 50kg - 10 reps
To create a new workout template, click Workout List > New Workout
To schedule a workout > click Programming > then hover over the day you'd like it to become available to customers > Choose from your available templates or create a new workout from scratch.
Customers will now be able to see this Workout on the day you scheduled it. It won't become visible until that day. And, if you're using Tracks, which only show workouts to certain customers (via tags), this workout will only show to those customers.
Schedule Recurring Workouts
To get started, click Workouts > Programming > Schedule Workout > select the workout, its track, the start date and toggle on 'Schedule Recurring'.
Then choose:
how many days between each workout,
when to end the series (how many to schedule or on a specific date)
Preview the workout at the bottom of the pop up before clicking Schedule. You'll now see the workouts listed on your Workout Schedule.
Customers will be able to view your workouts from their mobile app on the day they're scheduled.
Copy Blocks of Workouts
You can find the Copy workouts option under Workouts > Programming > click the three dots at the top right > Copy workouts.
How do I control which customers see a workout?
With Tracks. Tracks use Tags to restrict visibility of the workout.
Ie. if you have a membership that's tagged, then everyone on that membership has that tag. To show this workout to just customers on that membership, click New Track, and add that tag to this track.
You can call this track whatever you want, and select whichever tag(s) should see the workout.
Remember to check that your tags are applied correctly to memberships or which ever customer list you have tagged.
How do I associate a workout with a class?
Momence allows you to associate a workout template with a class template (or more than one).
If you've scheduled both classes and workouts from these templates, and they happen to fall on the same day, then customers that have registered for any of these classes will have access to the workout -- as long as the class falls on the same day that one of these workouts is scheduled.
This linking of workout templates with class templates is done from: Workouts > Workout List > edit a specific workout template, scroll past Components and click Class Templates > choose which class templates to associate > Save.
Customer Experience
Can customers score how they did?
You can allow the customer to score each component of their workout, and specifically guide them on how to. After they score their workout, you'll be able to see the customer’s scores from the workout detail.
You can choose from the following options your customers will see:
none
weightlifting (weight [lbs/kgs] + number of reps)
distance [m, km, mi, feet],
AMRAP, which stands for "as many reps (or rounds) as possible," this option will include # of reps, and a field for time allotted.
How do I set up scoring?
Each component of a Workout has a Scoring section. From Workouts > Workout List > click its dropdown to for options.
Next, click Actions > Edit workout > click a pencil icon next to the component you'd like to add Scoring for.
Lastly, click the Scoring dropdown and start adding criteria. You can add multiple scoring options if its warranted.
For example, a workout component might tell the customer to do 20 pull ups and time themselves. The Primary Scoring might be Time. The Unit would probably be minutes.
Another example might be an option to report as many reps as possible (AMRAP).
In the description you could add some short instructions so that customers know what to expect before starting the workout. (ie. Do 20 pullups and time yourself, or do as many reps as possible in 10 minutes).
What's the customer experience in the mobile app?
After you've scheduled a workout, your scheduled workouts of the day will automatically show to your customers under the workouts tab on the day each one is scheduled. They'll be prompted to follow your directions and log their progress as they go.
Can customers track progress in the app?
Customers can see visual charts in their app for each exercise. This helps them understand trends and stay motivated to keep their numbers moving in the right direction. They can see this under the Workouts tab > My records.
Whiteboards
Whiteboards: automatically display your scheduled Workouts for customers to follow along with
The night before a scheduled workout, there's no longer a need to physically write out the exercises on a physical whiteboard.
Whiteboards allow you to have your scheduled workouts automatically displayed on large screens on the days they're scheduled for.
You can even create multiple Whiteboards that cater to specific workout Tracks. If you've already created your workouts, and scheduled them, all thats left to do is create a white board to display these workouts to your customers.
Create your Whiteboard
Click Workouts > Whiteboards > New Whiteboard
Choose what to name it > (you can have multiple whiteboards) > then choose whether this whiteboard displays only certain workout tracks. (Note that if you leave this blank, the whiteboard will just display whichever workout is scheduled for today, regardless of which track its associated with).
Workouts are made of components and sometimes also have descriptions, so if you'd also like these items displayed on the Whiteboard, toggle those settings on.
Remember that you don't have to include all the details of these on the Whiteboard, as your customers will have access to the full workouts descriptions and components on their phone's mobile app.
Set up your display
Connect a device to a monitor to display your whiteboard to your customers.
Login to Momence on this device, click Workouts > Whiteboards > select the white board and click its link to leave this screen on the Whiteboard page. Now, anytime a workout fits with this whiteboard's track settings, it will display here on the day its scheduled.
What does a Whiteboard display when there's no workout scheduled?
It will show the time of day, the name of the track (if it has one selected), and a notice that there isn't a workout currently under way.
Whats the max number of customers displayed on a Leaderboard?
Five.
With Workouts, a Whiteboard's Leaderboard will grow as submissions are received until it hits 5 leaders for each category. Afterward, it will update itself based on new submissions.
Does it need to be refreshed?
No, it refreshes automatically as soon as scores are submitted from customers through the mobile app.
Customize your Whiteboard's background color
Whiteboards display the Workout of the Day or a Lesson Plan, or something akin that needs to be put up on a TV screen.
You can now change the background color of your whiteboard by navigating to the Whiteboard in question and clicking Edit Whiteboard.
Near the bottom, click Background color > Find your color choice and save. You can preview the full whiteboard with the 'open whiteboard' button.
Note that if a workout isn't scheduled for today, you won't see anything listed here. You can always temporarily change an upcoming workout's date to today to view it here.
Enable Leaderboards on Whiteboards
Leaderboards rank your customers based on how they performed in todays workout and can help motivate your customers to outdo their piers.
To enable this, edit the whiteboard in question (workouts > whiteboards > click the dropdown menu to the right of the whiteboard > edit whiteboard).
Enable 'Display leaderboard in the components section' > Save at the bottom.
Now, on the days you have scheduled workouts, customers will be able to log their performance and then see their numbers immediately put up on the screen.

Where can I activate Workouts?
