# How to choose the right template in new plan?

Learn how to select the correct workout template in BTWB when creating a workout.

### Step 1: Navigate to the Plan Calendar

* Go to **btwb.com/plan/calendar**.
* Select the day you want to create a workout on.
* Click **New Workout**.

***

### Step 2: Choose a Builder

* If not using the **AI Builder**, scroll down to the **Classic Builder**.
* Here you will see all available workout templates.

***

### Step 3: Select a Template Type

Templates are organized into categories based on how the workout is scored:

* **For Time** – Workouts completed as fast as possible.
* **For Completion** – Includes “for quality” or EMOM workouts.
* **For Rounds** – Example: AMRAPs.
* **For Reps** – Based on total repetitions performed.
* **Weightlifting Sets** – Structured lifting templates.

👉 You can choose **single-movement** or **multi-movement** templates.

***

### Step 4: Use the Information Button

* Each template has an **info button** (`i`) next to it.
* Clicking this provides:
  * A brief description of the template.
  * Example workouts to show how it’s used.

Example:

* **For Reps in the Remaining Time**: Multiple rounds for time, with the final movement being reps completed in the remaining time.
* Some templates also allow you to apply **rest intervals** or assign a **time cap**.

***

### Tips for Gym Owners & Coaches

* ✅ Always double-check the **category** first (rounds, time, reps, completion).
* ✅ Use the **information button** whenever you’re unsure which template fits.
* ✅ Time caps and rest intervals can be added to customize the stimulus of the workout.
* ✅ Save commonly used templates for consistency across programming.

#### Transcription

In this video, I will be going over how to determine which template to use in BTWB and the score that you can assume you’ll need to log when finishing the workout.

First, go to **btwb.com/plan/calendar**, select any day you want to create a workout on, and click **New Workout**.

If you’re not using the AI builder, scroll down to the **Classic Builder** to view all available templates. These can be **single movement** or **multiple movement** templates.

Templates are grouped into categories:

* For Time
* For Completion (for quality, EMOMs)
* For Rounds (AMRAPs)
* For Reps
* Weightlifting Sets

To get more clarity, click the **information button** next to each template. This shows a description and example workouts. For example, the “For Reps in the Remaining Time” template allows multiple rounds for time with additional reps in the leftover time. Some templates also allow adding rest periods or time caps.

If you’re ever unsure, first make sure you’re in the right **category** (rounds, time, reps, etc.), then use the **information button** to confirm the template is the best fit.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://btwb.gitbook.io/btwb/planning-workouts/new-plan-questions/how-to-choose-the-right-template-in-new-plan.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
