Trainer view vs Client view

On an assigned workout plan you can flip between two ways of seeing the same program. The toggle sits at the top right of the plan, next to the client selector, labelled Trainer view and Client view. The active one is filled in so you always know which you are looking at.

Trainer view is the dense editor grid you already know: every set, rep, weight and RPE in a table you can edit, with the AI progression and Next Block tools.

Client view is the exact card layout your client sees in their portal: one card per exercise, big tappable sets, the coach note on top, and a progress bar at the bottom. Use it to check what the client actually sees before they open the app.

Logging on the client's behalf:

In Client view you can log sets exactly as the client would, which is handy when you are coaching in person and want to record the session as it happens. Anything you log this way is saved against the client's session, the same as if they had entered it themselves. We do quietly record that the trainer logged it, so your reporting can tell self-logged from coach-logged work later if you ever need to.

What is hidden in Client view:

The Next Block and Ask Repley buttons are program-management tools the client never sees, so they are tucked away while you are in Client view. The session brief and progress bar stay visible for your reference. Switch back to Trainer view to use those tools.

Tapping to log a set (what your client sees):

Each set row reads left to right: the set number, the prescribed reps, weight and effort, then a round tick button on the far right. Tapping it marks the set done (it turns green). Entering any value also marks the set done automatically. The first set of the first exercise shows a small "tap" hint the first time, so new clients discover it.
