Workout durations are displayed in the preview and workout list within a Program. Workout duration is visible to both trainers as well as clients viewing workouts on the app.
In this article, we will cover the workout duration for Regular and Circuit workouts. For information on Interval Workout duration, visit How to Create Interval Workouts in Trainerize.
How is Workout Duration Estimated?
Regular/Circuit workout duration is estimated in the following way:
- Inline rest and regular rest blocks are included in the exercise duration to get the total workout duration
-
Time targets are also incorporated into the exercise duration
- If the time target is not selected for an exercise, an estimated duration of 1 minute will be added to the workout duration total
- The number of rounds or sets affects the total workout duration
- If the workout duration is, e.g. 2m 45s long, it will be rounded down to 2 minutes, as shown in the screenshot below.
Text Targets and Workout Duration
When creating a workout, each exercise type (not including timed-type exercises) will come with the choice of "time" or "text" under the Target section. If you select a time target, you will be prompted with time options. If you select a text target, an estimate of one minute will be added to the total workout duration.
