Assigning Programs

Once you’ve built a program, assign it to athletes so they can follow it in IronLedger.

What Happens Next

Client detail page showing assigned programs and training statistics
  • The program appears in the athlete’s IronLedger app under their programs list
  • The athlete can start logging workouts against the program
  • You’ll see their progress in real-time on your dashboard

Notifications

When you assign a program — or update an existing assignment — the athlete is notified automatically:
  • In-app notification — appears in the athlete’s IronLedger notification center, showing your name and the program name
  • Email — sent to the athlete’s registered email address with the same details
Athletes using IronLedger on iOS or Android will also receive a push notification as long as they’ve enabled notifications in the app’s notification settings.

Assignment Status

Each assignment has a status:
StatusDescription
ActiveCurrently assigned and in use
CompletedAthlete finished the program
ReplacedSuperseded by a newer program

Multiple Programs

Athletes can have multiple active programs. For example:
  • A main strength program (4 days/week)
  • An accessory program (2 days/week)
  • A mobility routine

Replacing Programs

When you assign a new program, the previous one is automatically marked as “replaced.” The athlete’s workout history from the old program is preserved.
Assigning programs requires Pro plan or higher. Basic plan coaches can build programs but need to upgrade to assign them.
