Your plan and your coach's programs
Every Beoflow account has one personal training plan, and if your coach adds you to one of their programs, its sessions appear on that plan.
- For
- Athletes
- On
- iPhone, Android, Web
Before you start
- Your personal plan is created for you the first time you open your calendar. There is nothing to set up.
- Your coach can only add you to a program after you have connected with them and agreed to share your data.
- Coaches build and manage programs. That is covered in the Programs guide.
See your plan
- Web: open Calendar in the sidebar. It always shows your own plan.
- iPhone: open the Plan tab. It shows your own plan.
- Android: open Plan. If your account can open more than one plan, a Plan picker appears at the top so you can choose which one to view. With one plan, its name shows instead.
Follow a coach’s program
When your coach adds you to a program, its upcoming sessions are copied into your plan. From then on:
- Changes your coach makes to the program reach your plan automatically.
- On the web, open a session to see where it came from. It shows From your program, the program name, and a short explanation.
- If you edit a session, the parts you change stop following your coach’s version. The session then shows Modified from plan and lists what you changed. Everything you did not change still follows the program.
You follow one program at a time. If your coach moves you to a different program, the old program’s upcoming sessions leave your plan and the new ones arrive.
What you keep
Your history stays yours. When your coach removes a session, deletes a program or moves you to another program, you keep every session that is:
- in the past,
- one you completed,
- one you edited, or
- one you attached a file to.
Only upcoming sessions you have not touched are removed.
Troubleshooting
- I can’t add a workout on Android. While your plan follows a coach’s program, Android shows a Coach plan badge and the plan is read only there. Use the web app, or ask your coach.
- “Cannot delete your default plan”: your personal plan can’t be deleted. Every account keeps one.
- My coach’s latest change didn’t reach one session. You probably edited that part of the session yourself, so it no longer follows the program. Open the session on the web to see what you changed.
- A program session is missing. Only upcoming sessions are copied when you join a program. Sessions dated before you joined are not added.
FAQ
- Can I create extra plans for myself? No. Each athlete has one personal plan. Ask Flow or add sessions to that plan instead.
- Can I follow two programs at once? No. You follow one program at a time.
- Does leaving a program delete my training history? No. Past, completed and edited sessions stay on your plan.
- Can I manage plans on my iPhone? The iPhone app shows your plan. Program management is on the web.
Privacy
Your plan belongs to your account. Coaches you have connected with and agreed to share data with can see it, and the coach who added you to a program sends sessions to it. A coach cannot add you to a program without that agreement.
