Workout Program Builder for Coaches
Create structured training programs with a spreadsheet-like interface. Build supersets and circuits with exercise blocks, choose from 7 metric presets, attach video demos, and pick from a 200+ exercise library. Assign programs directly to athletes through IronLedger.
IronCoaching's program builder gives coaches a professional, spreadsheet-like interface to create periodized training programs. Build programs with precise sets, reps, RPE, and rest periods — then assign them directly to your athletes via the IronLedger app.
The program builder — create structured programs with sets, reps, RPE, and coaching notes.
Key Features
