📝 Overview

This guide explains how to create and manage content in your custom branded app using the Admin Console. You’ll learn how to build and organise:

  • On-Demand video content

  • Workout Templates and programs

  • Meals and meal plans

  • Custom Pages for extra information

  • Club Updates for announcements

💡 This article is for business owners and staff only and is not intended for customers.


🫸 Before you start

  • Decide which types of content you want to offer (e.g. On-Demand workouts, structured programs, meal plans, informational pages).

  • Make sure you’ve set up user groups if you plan to restrict some content to specific memberships (see your Managing Access & Visibility guide for details).

  • Check that the relevant features (On-Demand, Meals, etc.) are enabled in your Feature Selection so they appear in the app.


🎞️ Content types in your custom branded app

In the Admin Console, you’ll primarily work with these content types:

  • On-Demand – standalone videos and collections.

  • Workout Templates – structured workout programs and logs.

  • Meals – recipes and meal plans for nutrition coaching.

  • Custom Pages – static/info pages grouped by category.

  • Club Updates – announcement posts grouped into categories.

Each of these can be targeted to specific groups and memberships, but this guide focuses on creating and managing the content itself.


📽️ On-Demand – building your video library

Use On-Demand to give members access to a library of videos: classes, tutorials, or programmes.

What On-Demand is for

  • On-demand workouts and class recordings

  • Educational content (e.g. technique videos)

  • Short programmes or series members can follow independently

Creating categories and adding content

A typical setup:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to On-Demand.

  2. Create categories (e.g. “Beginner Strength”, “Mobility”, “Short 10-minute sessions”).

  3. For each category, you can add videos from:

    • My Library – videos uploaded in the Admin Console

    • TeamUp Collections – videos you’ve uploaded on the TeamUp website (e.g. YouTube-based content)

    • Library Videos – a database of high-quality workout videos you can use without creating your own

  4. Add titles, descriptions and any cover images to make content easy to browse.

💡 If your app is live but you can’t see your On-Demand videos, double-check that On-Demand is enabled in Feature Selection and that you’ve added at least one category with visible content.

🔔 LIVE NOW (not fully shown in the original video):
When creating categories you’ll see new Visible to / Accessible to options.

Use these to control who can see and who can play the content (see Managing Access & Visibility for details).


🏋️ Workout Templates – structuring programmes

Workout Templates let you build structured programmes rather than one-off videos.

What Workout Templates are for

  • Building multi-week programmes

  • Storing templated workouts you can assign/log

  • Tracking completed workouts over time

Creating folders, sub-folders and templates

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Workout Templates.

  2. Create main folders for big themes (e.g. “Strength”, “Conditioning”, “Rehab”).

  3. Within each main folder, create sub-folders for individual programmes or phases.

  4. Inside a sub-folder, create your workout templates (e.g. Session A, Session B).

  5. Add details such as:

    • Exercise name

    • Sets and reps

    • Any notes or instructions

    • (Optional) media or links if supported by your build

💡 Group assignment for Workout Templates happens at the sub-folder level. This is covered in more detail in the Managing Access & Visibility guide.

🔄 COMING SOON:
Workout Templates will be updated to support automations, remove main folders, and add dedicated text boxes for sets/reps/weight. Expect the interface to change slightly once this is released.


🍛 Meals – creating meal plans and recipe libraries

Use Meals to create structured meal plans and/or give members access to recipes.

What Meals is for

  • Providing complete meal plans

  • Offering recipe libraries members can browse

  • Supporting macro-based nutrition coaching

Creating meal plans

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Meals.

  2. Create a new meal plan or edit an existing one.

  3. Add meals for the days or time blocks you want (e.g. “Day 1 – Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner”).

  4. Add recipes (either your own or from your recipe library) and instructions.

  5. Add any notes your clients should follow (e.g. portion guidance, swaps).

💡 If you only want specific clients or memberships to see the meal planner, one option is to enable only the Meal Planner in Feature Selection so anyone without a plan will see a blank section.

Clients with assigned plans will see them; others can optionally create their own plan if Search is enabled.


📄 Custom Pages – adding static content

Custom Pages are ideal for extra information that doesn’t fit as workouts or videos.

What Custom Pages are for

  • “About us” or “Meet the team” pages

  • Policies, FAQs, or onboarding instructions

  • Guides, checklists, or external resources

Creating pages and categories

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Custom Pages.

  2. Create categories (e.g. “Getting Started”, “FAQs”, “Resources”).

  3. Within each category, create pages with titles and rich text content.

  4. Add links or media where useful.

💡 Groups are assigned at the category level, so you can easily make some pages visible only to certain audiences (covered in Managing Access & Visibility).

🔄 COMING SOON:
Custom Pages will support automations, allowing you to trigger pages or flows automatically for certain users or groups.


📢 Club Updates – sharing news and posts

Club Updates are your in-app announcements.

What Club Updates are for

  • Sharing news, changes, or promotions

  • Posting educational updates or community highlights

  • Segmenting updates by audience using categories and groups

Creating updates and categories

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Club Updates.

  2. Set up categories (e.g. “All Members”, “PT Clients”, “Challenges”).

  3. Create a new update with:

    • Title and text

    • Optional cover image

    • Optional link or button

  4. Assign the update to the relevant category and publish.

🔄 COMING SOON:
Club Updates will support automations and internal links to specific app features, making it easier to guide members directly into the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Why can't I see my On-Demand videos?

Click here to see the answer

  • Ensure your app is live on the stores; the preview on the Design/Feature Selection pages can be inaccurate if it isn’t.

  • In Feature Selection, make sure the On-Demand section is enabled either in the bottom navigation or the side menu.

  • Under On-Demand, confirm you’ve enabled the right options:

    • My Library (Admin Console uploads)

    • TeamUp Collections (content from the TeamUp website)

    • Library Videos (pre-built library)

  • If you’ve restricted categories to specific groups, make sure your test account is in the correct group.

How do I create a set of content for a specific membership?

Click here to see the answer

  • Create a membership-synced group in the Admin Console.

  • Then, in:

    • Club Updates / Notices – assign categories to that group

    • On-Demand – assign categories to that group

    • Custom Pages – assign categories to that group

    • Workout Templates – assign the relevant sub-folders

    • Challenges – select that group when creating the challenge

    • Meal Plans – assign meal plans to that group

How do I make the meal planner exclusive to a specific user or membership?

Click here to see the answer

  • In Feature Selection → Recipes, turn on only the Meal Planner option.

  • Users without a plan will see a blank section; users with assigned plans will see their content.

  • If the Search option is on, users can also create their own meal plans.
