Why this feature is helpful
By assigning days, you guide your members through the training week and make progress easy to see. The recommended day assignment also determines the display order of units in the app—creating a clear weekly plan without limiting your members’ flexibility. Additionally, the feature simplifies plans where identical units occur multiple times per week because their values are logically linked.
Assign weekdays when creating the training plan
During training plan creation (custom plan, template, or catalog plan) you can create as many training units as you like. Open the desired unit and use the “Day of the week” dropdown to select one or more days on which it should be performed. Example: If you select Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the same unit appears on all three days in the weekly schedule in MySports.
Example 1: 2 units, each trained 2× per week.
In this example, the training days would be distributed as follows:
Unit A – Monday
Unit B – Tuesday
Unit A – Wednesday
Unit B – Friday
The member therefore sees 4 training days per week.
Example 2: Full-body training performed 3× per week
If you create a plan in which the same full-body workout is performed 3× per week, you can assign the same unit to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as follows:
The member then sees three entries per training week—with the recommendation to perform them on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday:
Full-body training – Monday
Full-body training – Wednesday
Full-body training – Friday
How training days appear in the app
Your member sees your recommended training days in the app. They can choose the order at any time—the day assignment is a recommendation, not an obligation. If more than one unit falls on the same day, the order in the app follows the arrangement in the training plan builder (left to right). Units without a day assignment are shown without a weekday but with the number of exercises (default behavior).
Best practices for complex training plans
Link duplicate units: If an identical unit (same set/rep/load scheme) occurs multiple times per week, assign the same unit to multiple days. This keeps training values linked and your member will see the last achieved values next time.
If your member should perform “3×10 reps × 60 kg” twice per week, assign the same unit to two days (e.g., Monday & Thursday). This way, the entries are logically linked and the last trained values carry over between those units—clear, consistent progression.
Separate variants cleanly: For deliberately different schemes (e.g., hypertrophy vs. strength), create separate units. This keeps progression per goal unambiguous and prevents unintended “overwrites.”
If one day should be “3×10×60 kg” and another day “5×5×85 kg,” create two separate units. This keeps the goals and tracking per unit independent; changes in one unit don’t affect the other.
Control order intentionally: If you plan multiple units on the same day, arrange them in the builder in the desired left-to-right order. The app adopts this order for that day.
Guidance without obligation: Use the day assignment as guidance, not a mandate. This increases plan adoption and respects members’ personal weekly schedules.
Create transparency: Add a brief note in the description explaining why certain days are recommended (e.g., recovery times, equipment availability). This supports members’ autonomy and reduces follow-up questions.
Flexibility for members
Members retain full freedom: Any unit can be started regardless of the suggested day. This keeps training plans flexible while still giving a clear recommendation from you.
