Workouts and Class Planning

This guide is for gym owners and personal trainers using Orlo to streamline operations, engage clients, and grow their business.

Orlo helps you deliver consistently high-quality, varied workouts by combining a library of exercises, reusable templates, and an automatic class plan generator. This ensures that clients get fresh, effective training that adapts to their history and preferences without overwhelming them with decisions.

Exercises

Each exercise in Orlo represents a single movement (like squats or rows) and is tagged with its muscle group and type. You can manage your gym’s exercises, add optional video demos, and search by keyword or category. Exercises can be reused across multiple class templates and workout plans.

Templates

Templates are reusable plans that define the structure of a class. Each template is linked to a class type and focuses on a specific direction (push/pull), training method (e.g. strength, endurance), and muscle group (e.g. legs, back).

Automatic Class Planning

Orlo can automatically generate a class plan an hour before the class starts. Trainers can regenerate the plan if needed. It scores available templates based on which ones best suit the clients who have booked that class, prioritising variety and avoiding repeats.

How it works:

• Orlo selects the best template for the class by evaluating recent exercises each client has done.
• It gives each template a score by checking how recently each exercise was used for each client. Repeated exercises lower the score.

To trigger planning manually:

1. Go to the class event in the timetable.
2. Click Generate Plan if there is no plan yet, or Regenerate Plan to start over.
3. If automatic planning is not enabled, trainers can create their own plans for classes from the same menu.

Benefits

• Clients get workouts that adapt to their history and avoid repetition.
• Trainers save time on planning.
• You maintain consistency in quality and training style.

This planning system gives you the perfect mix of control and automation—so every class feels fresh, effective, and aligned with your gym’s methodology.
