Workouts

Written by Leon Foley

Overview

Below, you will find videos and explanations that will help to explain exactly what workouts are and how you build them in the Hub. The Workout Builder itself allows coaches and practitioners to create structured training sessions by combining exercises, tests, notes, and videos into a single workout that can be assigned to athletes and/or groups.

What are Workouts?

Workouts allow for a seamless flow through desired exercises - customised and created in the Hub and utilised in the V2 Capture App.

  2. Select + Create New in the top-right corner.

  3. Enter the workout details:

Saving Your Workout

Workouts save automatically as changes are made. A "Last saved" indicator appears at the top of the Workout Builder, confirming that your latest edits have been saved successfully.

Note: Changes made to a workout will not affect workouts that are already in progress.

How to assign Workouts to athletes and groups

With the group assignment feature, coaches can assign workouts to specific groups of athletes. When the athletes log on to their Output Capture app, they will only see workouts that have been assigned to their group.

Note: Groups are only available from our Core* package.

*Reflective of 2026 pricing plans

Important; Workouts must be published in order for them to appear in the Capture app. This is done by ensuring the 'Published' icon is turned from the default off () to on ().

How to assign Labels to certain Workouts

Workout labelling allows you to create and assign labels to your workouts, enhancing your ability to organize and filter them more effectively and efficiently. You can create customised labels, which will allow you to filter your workouts based on various criteria such as phases, blocks, intervals, specific targets, season blocks, semesters etc. You can check out the full article on Workout Labelling here or you can watch the video below.

How to specify whether or not to use the sensor during a workout

When using Output you may not always want to use the sensor for tracking data.

If you are using any exercise from the Barbell Velocity, Slams, Swings & Throws, Strength Endurance, and Strength Pathway in your workout, you can use the non-sensor tracking option. Simply uncheck the box that reads 'Use Output Sensor' when adding the exercise to the workout. This will still allow you to specify reps and weight.

How to set a rest timers within a Workout

While completing a workout, a rest timer will appear between each exercise indicating the clasped time between sets. When creating your workout you can set the duration for the rest timer for any exercise in your workout.

If you set a rest time, a green bar will show on the 'UP NEXT ' banner in the Capture app. Once the rest time has elapsed it will ding and the bar will then turn red, indicating that the rest time is over. If no timer is set, the rest timer will still show on the top right of the 'UP NEXT ' banner, but won't show the progress bar.

Important: Workouts now automatically finish if inactive for over 1 hour. The longest a workout can remain inactive is 2 hours.
