There are three steps to creating a training program in Hexfit:

Creating your program


Program or session?

A session corresponds to a "period" of training. A program can contain one or more sessions.

Here is an example of a program containing two sessions:

Program: "Hypertrophy"

  • Session 1: "Upper body".

  • Session 2: "Lower body".

When you create a new program, there will be one session. By default, it will be named after the program.

Add a session

To add a new one, click on "+ Add session":

You will then have two choices, either:

  1. + Create from scratch.

  • You can also "drag and drop" it to the desired location in the list.
