We’re excited to announce a game-changing new feature: The Circuit Workout! This innovative format allows you to structure a set of short workout videos into dynamic, engaging circuits for your members to follow—similar to the HIIT workouts they may already love.
What’s New?
Circuit Workouts offer a fresh way for your members to consume your content while giving you, as a creator, the flexibility to repurpose short videos without sound into a variety of workout routines. Here’s what makes Circuit Workouts special:
- Two Flexible Formats: Create reps-based circuits or time-based circuits to suit different workout styles and goals.
- Rest Periods: Add rest intervals between each circuit for a balanced and effective workout experience.
- At Your Own Pace: Members can follow reps-based circuits at their preferred speed, offering flexibility and control.
Key Benefits:
- Effortless Content Repurposing: Save time and resources by reusing short videos to build diverse, timeless workouts, making content creation more efficient and scalable.
- Enhanced Member Engagement: Introduce a new, interactive way for your members to experience your content and achieve their fitness goals.
How It Works:
-
Terminology:
-
- Workout: The complete workout consisting of one or more circuits.
- Circuit: A group of exercises designed to be performed together, either targeting similar goals or providing complementary benefits.
- Round: A repetition of the same series of exercises within a circuit. Circuits can include one or multiple rounds.
- Reps-based circuit: A circuit where members complete a set number of reps at their own pace before manually proceeding to the next exercise.
- Time-based circuit: A circuit where members perform as many reps as possible within a set time. The next exercise begins automatically when the time is up.
-
-
Create in the Builder: Configure your Circuit Workouts as reps-based or time-based circuits, with optional rest periods between circuits.
-
- Set up your Circuit configuration in the Builder, under App Features > Circuit Configurations. The Workout Overview Categories, Workout Imagery, and Audio Cues sections are all required.
- Create a new Circuit Workout in the Builder by navigating to Content > Create New > Workout
- Structure your Circuit Workout as desired using the reps-based or time-based circuits and rest time. Each exercise or video within a given circuit should be a short demonstration video without audio, which will be automatically looped to suit the circuit format. The end result may look something like the below:
- Save the newly created Circuit Workout. You should now be able to see it in your Content page under the VidApp section.
- Set up your Circuit configuration in the Builder, under App Features > Circuit Configurations. The Workout Overview Categories, Workout Imagery, and Audio Cues sections are all required.
-
- Publish to the Mobile App: Once published, Circuit Workouts appear in the app just like any other collection.
