Adjusting vs modifying an athlete’s program
Adjust regenerates a new program version from goals; Modify makes one surgical change to the active plan. When to use each.
Two tools change an athlete's programming, and both live on the athlete's page in your roster: "Adjust programming" rebuilds the block as a new version, and "Modify active program" makes one precise change. Both need the athlete's "Program & sessions" consent, an existing active program, and the Coach plan or above.
Adjust programming — a new version
Use this to re-plan the next block from fresh goals. Any part of the program can change.
- In the "Adjust programming" panel, describe the "Goals for the next block" (required).
- Add "Constraints" (optional) and, if you want, a "Generation note" — it must be fitness-related and is screened before use.
- Set the number of weeks, then click "Update program".
- Wait a couple of minutes. When it finishes, the new version is live and the athlete sees it immediately.
Modify active program — one surgical change
Use this when the plan is right but one thing needs to change. Only what you describe changes; every other day stays exactly the same.
- In "Modify active program", describe the change — e.g. swap the Day 2 run for a 20-min row.
- Click "Apply change". It runs in the background and a banner tracks "day X of Y", so you can leave the page.
- Wait for the banner to clear. Only one modification runs at a time.
Both actions require the Coach plan or above — on Starter you'll see an upgrade prompt. Coaches can't build a program from scratch; the first program always comes from the athlete, a store purchase, or an admin.
