CoachRx Programs: Studying Program Templates To Learn Program Design

Unlock Expert Program Design: How to Use Templates to Level Up Your Coaching

Ever feel lost trying to figure out the best order for exercises in a program? You're not alone! Many coaches, especially when starting out, struggle with program design. It's easy to get caught up in what exercises to use, but the why is often missed.

The good news is that analyzing program templates created by expert coaches can unlock the secrets behind effective program design. This post will show you how to look beyond the exercises and understand the principles that guide pro coaches. Ready to get started? CoachRx has templates available to help you get started. Check out the CoachRx program library to learn more!

Why "Copy & Paste" Doesn't Cut It: Principles vs. Templates

When most coaches look at a program template, they tend to focus on the exercise selection. But there's something much more valuable hiding in plain sight: the principles that guided each decision.

So, why are principles so important? They're the foundation for creating programs that actually work. Without them, you're just throwing exercises together and hoping for the best. How do top coaches sequence movements to maximize performance while minimizing injury risk? When do they prioritize volume, and when do they prioritize intensity? How do they build progressions that create sustainable results? These are the questions you should be asking.

Deconstructing the Pros: Seeing Templates as Expert Case Studies

Stop viewing program templates as finished products. Instead, see them as windows into the thinking of expert coaches. The CoachRx program library is built with the help of experienced coaches who have a deep understanding of program design.

Remember, personalization is key. Use templates as inspiration to tailor programs to your client's specific needs, not just copy and paste them. You know your clients best, so use that knowledge to your advantage. Your clients need more than random exercises; they need structured progressions connected to proven principles.

Real-World Examples: Deconstructing CoachRx Program Templates

Let's dive into some examples from the CoachRx program library to see these principles in action.

Max Contraction Intensification Cycle

This program is designed to increase maximum strength through specialized techniques. It's a six-week progression that includes upper, lower, and full-body resistance exercises, as well as cyclical MAP (Maximum Aerobic Power) work. The key principle in action here is carefully introducing intense techniques within a sustainable framework for specific adaptations.

5K Rowing Program

This program prepares an athlete to be able to row a 5k. It gradually increases intensity while strategically incorporating recovery sessions. This is a masterclass in balancing stress and recovery for optimal adaptation.

"Anybody can put together a workout, but building progressions that actually get results – that's where the magic happens."

Building Your Signature Style: From Principles to Personalized Programs

So, how do you develop your own coaching style? Start by studying the pros. Learn from existing templates and programs. Then, find your style by adopting the principles and applying them to your coaching. Finally, make it yours by tailoring programs and progressions to fit your clients' needs.
