In this example, the client will do this circuit:
Treadmill for 2 minutes.
Russian Kettlebell Swing, 20 repetitions.
All 4 times (4 laps of the circuit).
💡 Tips |
Automatic playback
To ensure fully automatic playback for your clients, the exercises must be in “Duration” format.
If they are in the form of “Reps”, the customer will have to go on to the next one manually when he has completed his series. |
Linking exercises (Super sets)
Click on the chain between exercises to create a link between them.
Once the exercise has been linked, the display will change from “1-2-3” to “1A-1B-1C”.

You can add a “note” column for a special mention.
Link your two exercises with the chain.
Series up to “Muscle failure” / “Max. reps”
Click on the three dots.
Choose the “Configure in MAX” option.
Pyramid series
Unlock the number of repetitions per series by clicking on the padlock.
Enter the desired number of repetitions for each series.
Add a “Weight” column using the gear and enter a number to guide your customer.
Select the measurement system (kg or lb).

Edit exercise configuration
Cardio vs Weight
If you want the exercise to be displayed in “Phases” instead of as a series, you'll need to modify it as a “Cardio exercise”.
“Alternating” exercises
If you need to create an exercise in which the movements will be performed in alternation (e.g., one repetition of the left arm, then another of the right arm), select “Alternate”. This will enable the system to calculate the difference in time required more accurately.

Intervals/HIIT/Fractionated
Create intervals
Click on the “Phases” or “Series” padlock.
When the padlock is open, you can make all phases independent and thus create a progression in the session.
Optional
By clicking on “Actions” ⇾ “Create intervals”, you can repeat cycles.
If you want certain weeks of your program to be different, click on the padlock under “Week”. This allows you to change one week or make them all different.
⚠️ To edit the duration of your program (change the number of weeks), you need to exit your session and go to the main program page.
|
Change interval order
It's possible to change the order of intervals once they've been completed. To do so, simply:
Click on “Create intervals”.
Drag and drop your intervals to the desired positions.
Click on “Finish”.
Tabata
Choose the “duration” option (if not the default).
Enter the desired duration and intensity.
Enter a rest period.
❗ The Tabata protocol is a sequence of 8X (20 s. @ 100% intensity / 10 s. @ 0% intensity).
But you can use the same principle to create your own intervals with Hexfit. |
Add a gap between exercises
Drag and drop a “section” to the desired place in your workout.
Add a title and description if you wish.
Click on the trashcan icon to delete the section.
⚠️ A “section” cannot be linked to other exercises or used in a circuit. |
