Playbook App Features to Preview

1. How to Find Programs & Start Workouts

Walk new users through the programs in your app and offer advice for where to start.

When you talk about each of your programs, summarize the following:

• The name of the program

• A brief description of the program

• Whether it’s best for beginners, intermediate, or advanced users

• The length of the program

• Goals of the program and what users will achieve

2. How to Use Workout Features

While you’re discussing how to pick a program and start a workout, be sure to cover a few of Playbook’s unique features, including:

• Workout Timers: Briefly discuss and show how to set a custom workout timer in the consumer app.

• Marking Off Sets: Demonstrate how to mark off an exercise while going through a workout in the consumer app.

• Scheduling Workouts: Remind users that they can schedule their workouts ahead of time! When discussing this feature, be sure to point out that users must enable push notifications to receive the reminder about their scheduled workouts.

• Favoriting Workouts: Show users how to favorite workouts, and then walk them through how to find their faves later by navigating to their profile.

Demo these features by going into one of your workouts and starting the workout, then showing how to use the timer and mark off exercises when completed. Then, show how to favorite the workout. Lastly, go into another workout and demonstrate how to set up a reminder.

3. In-App Messaging

After discussing programs and workout features, you can shift gears to cover in-app messaging. Let followers know that if they have any questions regarding the programs or workouts in your app, they can either DM you directly (with photos, text, and video) or send a message by leaving a rating and a comment on a specific workout.

This is a great opportunity to sell the value of your app — remind users that this one-on-one communication provides exclusive access to your expertise that they won’t get anywhere else!

4. How to Use Discovery

One of Playbook’s greatest selling points is that with one subscription, customers get access to over 600 creators and 60,000 workouts.

In your video walkthrough, be sure to highlight the Discovery section of the creator app, where users can find curated selections of featured creators, latest workouts, new creators, and more.

Scroll through Discovery and also click the search bar in the top right corner to show users where they can type in keywords to find additional creators to work out with.
