Creating and sending an Exercise Programme

How to build an exercise programme in the redesigned Creator and send it to your clients, all from one screen.

Written by Cloudia Barr

The Creator was rebuilt in September 2026. You now build the whole programme on one screen and send it from a panel that slides in over your work. If you are used to the old Templates, Exercises, Settings and Publish pages, see What's New in the Creator for a summary of what changed.

Everything happens in one place. Open Creator from the sidebar and you land in the studio, with the library on the left and the programme you are building in the centre.

Opening the Creator from the sidebar

Step 1: Find your exercises

The library panel on the left has two tabs. Exercises searches the Rehab Guru library, your own exercises and your favourites. Templates holds your saved templates and your team's.

Type into the search box to find an exercise by name, or narrow the results with the filter chips underneath: Difficulty, Equipment, Muscle, Movement, Aim and Joint. Press / at any time to jump straight to the search box.

Searching the exercise library by keyword

Each filter chip opens a list with the number of matching exercises beside each option. Tick as many as you need and the results update as you go.

Filtering exercises by difficulty

A filter you have applied turns into a highlighted chip showing the value you chose, with a small x to clear it again.

Clearing an applied filter

If you would rather browse than search, click the expand button at the top of the library panel. The library opens out into a full-screen grid of picture cards over your programme, with a choice of card sizes, and you go back with Done or Esc. See Searching for Exercises in the Exercise Library for the details.

Step 2: Add exercises to the programme

Click an exercise once to add it to your programme. It appears as a new row in the centre and the library card is ticked so you can see what you have already used. Click it again to take it out, or double-click the card to preview the exercise first.

Adding an exercise to the programme with a single click

Double-clicking opens a preview panel on the right, with the exercise video, its images, the tags and the step-by-step instructions your client will see. From there you can add it to the programme, or save it to your own exercises.

Previewing an exercise before adding it

There is no basket or collection to fill any more. What you see in the centre is the programme.

Step 3: Set the sets, reps and everything else

Parameters are set on the exercise row itself, as you add it. There is no separate Settings page to visit afterwards. Type straight into the Sets, Reps and other boxes on the row.

Setting sets and reps on the exercise row

To add a parameter that is not already showing, click the cog on the row and choose from Load, Rest, Time, Hold, Times per day, Times per week, or Custom for something of your own.

Adding an extra parameter to an exercise

The chevron beside it expands the row so you can see the exercise video and images while you work.

The ... menu at the end of the row holds everything else you might want to do to that exercise: view it, edit the title or description, edit which parameter fields are shown, copy its parameters to paste onto other exercises, save it to your own exercises, turn closed captions or narration off for this exercise only, or remove it from the programme.

Options available on each exercise row

Choosing Edit parameters opens a box where you tick exactly which fields appear on that exercise, and add a custom field such as Distance.

Step 4: Name it and put it in order

The programme title sits in the top bar. Click it and type. Exercises are reordered by picking a row up by the handle on its left and dropping it where you want it.

Naming the programme and reordering exercises

To change several exercises at once, click a row to select it and cmd-click (or ctrl-click) to add more, then use Edit params or Remove in the bar above the list. You can also copy the parameters from one exercise with cmd+C and paste them onto the selected exercises with cmd+V; see Setting Exercise Parameters in a Programme.

The Actions menu in the top right gathers the things that apply to the whole programme, such as browsing templates, loading a past prescription, expanding or collapsing every exercise, previewing the client view and clearing the programme, along with a list of the keyboard shortcuts.

Step 5: Send it to your client

When the programme is ready, click Publish in the top bar.

Opening the Publish drawer

A drawer slides in over the programme with four short steps, and a progress summary along the top so you can see what is still outstanding.

Who is it for?

Confirm the programme title, then choose the client or clients. + New client creates a client without leaving the drawer, and if you have a practice management integration connected you can search for the client there too.

Choosing who the programme is for

When do they do it?

Turn on Programme duration to set how long the programme runs. Choose how often the client performs it, end the programme on a date or in a number of days or weeks, and choose what should happen when it finishes: request client contact, continue the programme, close programme access, or alert you.

Setting the programme duration and end date

How is it delivered?

This step gathers everything about the delivery itself: emailing the programme to the client, attaching a PDF copy, writing to your clinical notes integration, requiring a PIN to open, and turning closed captions or narration on or off for the whole programme. Underneath it you will find Client reporting for symptom tracking and outcome measures, Prescription notes for instructions to the client, and Attachments for any PDFs from your library.

Delivery options for the programme

Review and send

The last step summarises what is about to be sent and to whom. Preview shows the programme exactly as the client will see it. When you are happy, click Publish programme.

Reviewing and sending the programme

The arrow beside Publish programme does the other things you might want instead of, or as well as, sending: Save as new template, Update existing template, or Download PDF.

Saving as a template or downloading a PDF

Everything the old Publish page could do is still here - PDF export, saving as a template, cases, reporting and integrations. It is the same set of options, gathered into steps.

Client feedback on the programme

Once the client starts working through the programme, they can record what they actually did against what you prescribed, for example 1 kg instead of 2 kg, and that comes back to you on their record.
