We've introduced some exciting updates to our app! You can now set alternative exercises for custom routines, providing exercise variations if the primary one isn't feasible. Trainers can select from their custom exercises or any MPTH exercise as an alternative. When clients log a workout and choose 'Swap Exercise' for a custom exercise, they'll see the alternatives you’ve set.

Alternatives can be added either from the main 'Custom Exercises' area or while creating a custom exercise within a workout under the 'Create New' tab.

These new features, along with many others, make our app an incredibly functional tool that can revolutionize your training and help you achieve your goals more easily. To join and make the most of the app,click here to gain access to everything from workout and diet tracking to automatically uploading personal bests and synchronizing your fitness watches.

Club etiquette is crucial as it establishes a standard for our martial arts club, instilling respect and discipline. We have a comprehensive blog detailing what is expected of you at the EKA, so be sure to check it out to learn more. Additionally, our blog page offers countless articles on training tips, tricks, and dietary recommendations for kickboxers.
