Program History / Exercise Data - Client to Record Data

The ability for the client to record the data of their exercise enables them to track their progression. The Virtfit software enables clients to track data over their program (this is commonly known as a 'Training Cycle' or a 'Program Cycle') or at an exercise level. When it is done at a program level it is called 'Program History', when it is done at an exercise level it is called 'Exercise Data'.

Program History

Program History will be turned on for a 'Duplicate Program' and will allow a client see their previous weeks 'Recordings' for that exercise within that program. 

When building a program, the trainer would build the first weeks' worth of sessions and then select 'Duplicate Program'.  A Duplicate Program will activate the 'Program History' function, allowing the user to view their programs 'Recorded Data' of the weeks previous and add notes to assist with progression tracking. When building a session within this program, any exercise that has been selected for 'Client to record data' on the Workout Builder, will show the client their exercises chosen instructions' recorded data.

Exercise Data

Exercise Data allows a client to view their entire 'Recorded' history for this particular exercise. They will be able to see how heavy they were lifting 6 months ago or how many reps they were able to do during a 30 second timer. If it was ever recorded, it will show here in 'Exercise Data'. Exercise Data is not restricted to a 'Duplicate Program' like Program History is. Any time a trainer has selected 'Client to record data' on the Workout Builder for an exercise, the client will be able to enter in and track their Exercise Data.

The data captured through the Program History and Exercise Data features, allow trainers to be able to build more specialized and tailored programs for their clients. On the Clients Dashboard and through the Client Workout Builder, a trainer will have access to their clients data within Program History and Exercise Data. 

Accessing through the Client Workout Builder

You will be able to click on the link and view the Exercise Data.
