Training planning tutorial

Create training routines and plan your classes with DojoExpert. With this feature you can:

  • Create a list of exercises
  • Create training sessions with exercises
  • Assign training sessions to classes by date or sequence
  • Mark training sessions as complete and add comments
  • Share training sessions using a public URL
  • Import training sessions from other accounts
  • Use the mobile app to create and view training sessions

To get started, follow these steps:

  1. Create a list of exercises
  2. Create a training session
  3. Assign a training session to a class (create training plan)

Go to “classes” - “Training plans”. The page has three tabs corresponding to the steps above. Open “Exercises” to add an exercise with a title, description, YouTube video link, and tags. Use the light bulb icon for examples and instructions. Here is the interface in the demo account:

If you want to upload your own videos of exercises, upload them to YouTube or another video-sharing service. There are options to share videos using a link. Instructions here: How to share YouTube videos using a link

After creating exercises, you can organize them into a training session. Open “Trainings” and create a session. Add exercises by typing their names in “exercises”, or click “select from list”. On the Exercises tab, select the exercises and click “add to training” below the table:

Click “save” to save the session and its selected exercises. Then add instructions for each exercise , such as repetitions, sets, or duration, by editing the exercise table:

Edit exercise instructions

Click X in the delete column to remove an exercise, or drag rows to reorder them. Use the “view” icon to preview the session and the “share” icon to create a unique link for instructors, friends, or students. Here is an example: https://godojo.me/rWRJoQq6ZH

training list

Print the list using the print icon at the bottom. Each exercise includes a QR code if you added a video link, so you can scan it to watch the video on your phone. You can also import sessions from other DojoExpert accounts without entering the exercises again. To import the demo session above, open “Trainings”, click “import” at the lower right, and enter the import code: 11-3378. Find a session's import code by clicking its "share" icon.

Once sessions are ready, assign them to classes. Open the “Training plan” tab:

Assign a session by date or by sequence number. A date specifies when it will take place; a sequence number determines its order, such as first, second, or third. Mark "done" when the session is complete, and use "comment" for notes.

These features are also available in the DojoExpert mobile app. Create and view exercises, sessions, and training plans in the app. It lists upcoming and past plans based on your assignments so you can follow the exercises during class. The sharing option makes it easy to send links through Viber, WhatsApp, or email directly from your phone.
