Quick Summary
Trainin allows trainers to assign coaching content to clients in several ways. You can assign or schedule a Workout, Form, or Workout Program.
Assignments can be done from three different places in the platform:

Using the right method helps trainers keep coaching structured and easy for clients to follow.
