THE 1UP WORKFLOW

From Program Creation to Game Progression

1UP connects the trainer and trainee experience from beginning to end. Coaches create the program, participants complete real activities, and the results become part of a larger progression journey.

Step 1: Create Exercises and Drills

Trainers build a reusable library of exercises, sports drills, wellness activities, or performance challenges.

Step 2: Build Workouts and Programs

Coaches organize exercises into workouts, then combine multiple workouts into a structured training program.

Step 3: Publish and Share a Code

Once a program is ready, the trainer publishes it and shares a unique access code with athletes, students, players, or clients.

Step 4: Participants Join and Train

Trainees enter the program code, review assigned workouts, and complete the real-world exercises or drills selected by their trainer.

PARTICIPATION WITH CONTEXT

More Than Checking a Completion Box

Traditional workout platforms often rely on users marking activities complete. 1UP gives participants the option to submit short videos, giving trainers more context and creating a stronger connection between the assigned activity and the feedback that follows.

PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS DESIGN

Built for Structured Program Use

Program-Based Access

Participants join structured programs using access codes shared by their trainer, coach, teacher, or organization.

Trainer Review

Workout submissions are designed for review within the training relationship rather than public social posting.

Permission-Based Media

Users choose when to record or upload workout media and may manage camera and photo permissions through their device.

Supervised Youth Programs

Programs involving minors should use appropriate parent or guardian permission, clear participation expectations, and adult oversight.

FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN

Use 1UP Around the Way Your Program Already Trains

1UP does not require specialized workout equipment. Coaches choose the activities that fit their athletes, students, clients, or organization.

THE GAME LOOP

Train. Submit. Earn. Progress.

The game is not simply placed on top of the workout. The workout powers the game.

Real-world training contributes to character development, XP, levels, skill upgrades, rewards, quests, mini-games, and boss encounters as the platform continues to expand through early access.
