Quick Start: Adding a New Workout

  1. Create the post: Go to Ghost Admin → Posts → New Post
  2. Add required tag: Add the tag workout (this is mandatory)
  3. Choose a category (optional): Add one of these tags:
    • boxing - for boxing workouts
    • strength - for strength training
    • mobility - for mobility/flexibility workouts
  4. Make it free (optional): Add the tag free if you want free members to access it
  5. Publish: Your workout will automatically appear at /workouts/

Tag Examples

  • Paid boxing workout: Tags = workout, boxing
  • Free strength workout: Tags = workout, strength, free
  • General free workout: Tags = workout, free

Understanding Access Levels

Your workouts page has three different viewing experiences:

  • Can see and access ALL workouts
  • Full access to everything

Free Members

  • Can see all workouts in the feed
  • Can only access workouts tagged with free
  • Other workouts show a lock icon

Non-Members (Not Signed In)

  • See only 3 locked workout previews
  • Must sign up to see more

Editing the Hero Section

The hero section is the banner area at the top of your workouts page.

  1. Go to Ghost Admin → Pages
  2. Find the page called "workouts-hero"
  3. Edit the content and/or feature image
  4. Save your changes

Category Filtering

Your workouts page has filter buttons for different workout types:

  • All - Shows everything
  • Boxing - Shows only boxing workouts
  • Strength - Shows only strength training
  • Mobility - Shows only mobility workouts

Important:

  • Workouts need BOTH the workout tag AND a category tag (like boxing) to appear in filtered views
  • If a workout only has the workout tag, it will only show in the "All" view
  • Filter buttons automatically hide if there are no workouts in that category

Managing Free vs Paid Content

Use the free tag to control access:

  • With free tag: Both free and paid members can access
  • Without free tag: Only paid members can access

All workouts appear in the feed regardless, but locked items show a lock icon for free members.

Tips for Success

DO:

  • Always add the workout tag to workout posts
  • Add feature images to make workouts visually appealing
  • Balance free and paid content to attract new members
  • Test how the page looks when signed out, as a free member, and as a paid member

DON'T:

  • Forget the workout tag (the post won't appear)
  • Add multiple category tags to one workout (choose just one: boxing, strength, OR mobility)

Troubleshooting

Workout not showing up?

  • Check that it has the workout tag
  • Make sure it's published, not a draft

Workout not appearing in a filter category?

  • Verify it has both workout AND the category tag (boxing, strength, or mobility)

Free members can't access a workout that should be free?

  • Make sure you added the free tag

Page URLs for Reference

  • All workouts: /workouts/
  • Boxing only: /workouts/boxing/
  • Strength only: /workouts/strength/
  • Mobility only: /workouts/mobility/
  • Individual workout: /workouts/[workout-name]/

Remember: The workout tag is always required. Everything else is optional, but it helps organize your content better.
