Find Workout Programs Faster: Smart Search and Filters for Personal Trainers
Expert Tip
This guide contains proven strategies used by successful personal trainers. Apply these techniques to grow your fitness business.
You’ve built 80 workout programs over the years. Now you need to find that strength program you wrote for a client six months ago. Instead of scrolling endlessly, just type “strength” and find it instantly.
FitPros now has fast program search that actually works. Find any program in seconds, filter by client or status, and stop wasting time hunting through lists.
Why This Matters
When you’re onboarding a new client who wants to lose weight, you don’t want to rebuild a fat loss program from scratch. You want to find the proven one you used last year, tweak it, and assign it.
Before: Scroll through dozens of programs trying to remember what you called it.
Now: Type “fat loss” and see all matching programs instantly.
Less admin time means more time training clients.
Search That Actually Works
The new search finds programs by title and description. Type any keyword and get instant results.
Made a typo? No problem. Search for “strenght” and it still finds “Strength Training Programs.” The search engine understands mistakes and shows you what you meant.
Results appear as you type—no waiting, no loading screens.
Filter Your Programs
Sometimes you need to filter instead of search.
Status filters:
- All Programs (default)
- Archived (old programs you’re not using)
- Featured (programs showcased in your mobile app)
Client filter:
- See all programs assigned to a specific client
- Quickly review what a client is currently using
The filters are designed to be simple—one at a time, so results stay fast and focused.
Sort How You Want
Organize your program library your way:
- Newest First (default): See recently created programs
- Recently Updated: Programs you just modified
- A → Z: Alphabetical by name
- Oldest First: Find your early programs
The system automatically picks the best sort option based on what you’re doing, but you can change it anytime.
Why This Helps Your Business
Save time: Stop scrolling through endless lists or maintaining separate spreadsheets.
Reuse proven programs: Find your best programs quickly and adapt them for new clients instead of starting from scratch.
Faster onboarding: Get new clients started immediately by finding similar programs from past clients.
Stay organized: As your program library grows, filters and search keep everything manageable.
