FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I create workouts for my client for Progio?
We work with online content providers who offer exercise and workout libraries for downloading, including ptonthenet.com and ptntraineronline.com. These two content providers allow you to choose or modify existing workouts, and create your own workouts online. The workouts contain instructional information, digital still images of the exercise movements and instructional "how to" video clips. Ptntraineronline.com offers client management services and the ability to create exercises and workouts from scratch. Both sites are membership based. The cost for ptonthenet.com is $95 annually or $9.95 monthly. The cost for ptntraineronline.com is $19.95 monthly and $13.95 monthly for ptonthenet.com members. Progio can also work with other content sites (more information can be found under the "For Content Providers" tab and under "Workouts - Progio Partners".
What information is provided to my client on the Progio Training Companion?
Your client will have your complete workout instructions in the palm of his/her hand. Digital images and video clips may also be included as part of the workout instructions. Clients often forget how to do individual exercises; the video clips will walk and talk your client through the proper movements.
How do I send new workouts to my clients?
Each of our content providers has integrated the capability to send your workouts to the individual Progio Training Companion devices, identified by the email address of your client. Once you have send off the new workout, your client simply connects his/her Progio Training Companion to the Internet on via his/her computer. Once connected, the workouts will automatically be downloaded to the Progio Training Companion.
Can I modify or update one of my client’s workouts?
Yes. Depending on the content provider you use, you can make the desired modifications and resend the workout as often as you want and the updated workout will be downloaded to his/her device the next time the device is connected.
