Assign a TrueCoach program to a client group

1. Open the Programs tab, pick the program and use its assign option; hold Command (Control on Windows) to select several clients or several client groups.
2. For a client joining mid-block, assign from that client's workout calendar instead, where TrueCoach lets you pick the date and the program day to start on, such as Day 8.
3. Decide on Sync before assigning: TrueCoach locks the Sync program changes toggle while any client is assigned to the program.
4. To end the old block for a client, open the old program, click Manage Assignments next to Active Assignments and click Unassign next to the client's name.
5. Check each client's calendar afterwards. TrueCoach's help center says a client who sees multiples of the same workout most likely had the program assigned more than once.

Assign my 12 Week Hypertrophy program to the Bootcamp group from Monday 19 Oct on day 1. Skip anyone who already has it and tell me whose current block runs past that date.

1. 01

   Pick the program by name or tag

   list_programs finds the program; on a Team Account a private program only shows up for the owner and admin coaches, so a missing program is reported, not replaced with a similar one.

2. 02

   Check every group member before acting

   list_clients with the group name gives the members and their due dates. get_client shows each member's programs, and anyone who already has this program is skipped so no workouts get doubled.

3. 03

   Handle overlap with the old block

   A client whose due date falls after the new start date is still mid-block. The agent lists them and asks: unassign the old program from the start date, or start them later on day 1.

4. 04

   Start late joiners on the right day

   When you name clients who join partway through, the agent assigns them by client ID with a later start day, so a client who arrives in week 2 starts at day 8 with everyone else.

5. 05

   Assign and confirm the Sync state

   assign_program runs once for the remaining members. The agent reports whether Sync is on for the program, since that decides whether your later edits reach the group.

12 Week Hypertrophy to Bootcamp (11 clients), start Mon 19 Oct 2026, day 1.
Assigned: 8 clients.
Skipped: Alex Kim already has this program since 5 Oct.
Mid-block: Priya Shah and Tom Becker are due 25 Oct on Bootcamp Base. Unassign it or start them 26 Oct?
Sync is on: your edits to the program reach all 8 calendars.

• TrueCoach locks the Sync program changes toggle while clients are assigned; to change it, every active assignment has to be removed and the program reassigned.
• With Sync on, edits to a TrueCoach program overwrite changes you made on a client's workout calendar; with Sync off, the client keeps the version that existed at assignment.
• On a TrueCoach Team Account, private programs can be viewed, edited and assigned only by the account owner and coaches with admin privileges.
• TrueCoach lists clients who are due soon on the right of the Dashboard, using the threshold set under Settings > Misc > Dashboard > Due soon threshold.

assign_program and unassign_program change only your own TrueCoach data and reach no one else, so they run without asking first.
