Updated Oct 6, 2026 ## How do I send a training plan to a client as a link? Upload the plan PDF, and the demo videos if you have them, and send one link. It opens on the client's phone with no app or login: the PDF in a viewer, the videos streaming. When the next block starts, replace the file and the same link shows it. The view counter tells you it was opened, and every plan includes a password, an email gate and a watermark with the viewer's email. Files go up to 250 MB on Free and 500 MB on Pro. ### A plan that opens on the gym floor Plans sent as email attachments get opened once at the desk and then lost. On the gym floor, between sets, the client needs the plan in two taps. A link opens the PDF in the phone's browser, no app to install, no login, and it can sit on their home screen like an app icon.

Here you replace the file behind the link: the next block appears at the same address, the home-screen icon still works, and nothing needs re-sending. ### Exercise demos next to the plan Written cues only go so far. Film a short clip of each movement and upload the clips with the PDF: they become one album, and the videos stream on the phone with seeking, so the client can replay the tempo without downloading anything. Every clip also has its own link.

Switch downloads off to make the link view-only on any plan. On any plan, add an email gate and a watermark that stamps that email and the date across the PDF preview. A watermarked copy with a name on it rarely travels far.

It delivers the plan; your coaching happens elsewhere. Clients cannot fill it in. The PDF is read-only in the viewer. Clients track their numbers wherever they already do. Screenshots are always possible. View-only, the email gate and the watermark deter sharing and make it traceable. They cannot prevent it. Long videos need trimming. Each file tops out at 500 MB on Pro. Short demo clips fit easily; full-length follow-along classes may not. ## How it works - 1 ### Export the plan as a PDF From your spreadsheet, Canva template or Word document. Keep one exercise per row with sets, reps and rest; it reads far better on a phone than a dense table. Files go up to 250 MB on Free and 500 MB on Pro. - 2 ### Add the demo videos, if you film them Upload the PDF together with short clips of each lift or stretch and they become one album. Each video also has its own link, so you can send 'this is how the Romanian deadlift should look' on its own. - 3 ### Send the link and let the client save it Message the link or show the QR code in the session. Tell the client to add it to their home screen; from then on, the current block is always one tap away. ## A plan that opens on the gym floor Plans sent as email attachments get opened once at the desk and then lost. On the gym floor, between sets, with one bar of signal, the client needs the plan in two taps. A link does that: it opens the PDF in a viewer in the phone's browser, no app to install, no login to remember, and it can sit on their home screen like an app icon. Pages are easy to flick through and zoom into when the font is small. ## New block, same link Programmes change every few weeks, and every change used to mean a new attachment and a client training off the old one. Here you replace the file behind the link: the next block appears at the same address, the home-screen icon still works, and nothing needs re-sending. If you want the client to know, just message them 'week 5 is up'. ## Exercise demos next to the plan Written cues only go so far. Film a short clip of each movement and upload the clips with the PDF: they become one album, and the videos stream on the phone with seeking, so the client can replay the tempo on the eccentric without downloading anything. Every clip also has its own link, handy when you want to correct one movement by message. ## Protecting a programme people pay for If the plan is your product, you do not want it passed around a group chat. Switch downloads off to make the link view-only (any plan). On any plan, add an email gate so the client enters their email before viewing, and a watermark that stamps that email and the date across the PDF preview. Add a password or a view limit if you want. None of this makes a screenshot impossible, but a watermarked copy with a name on it rarely travels far. ## One link per client, or one per programme Two setups work. For one-to-one clients, give each client their own link, and on any plan give it a readable name so you can find it in your dashboard. For a group programme, one link for everyone and one file to update. Either way the view counter shows who is keeping up, and every plan can notify you when a link is opened. The free plan covers a handful of links to try it with a few clients. ## Physios and clinics: home exercise sheets Home exercise programmes are the same job: a sheet of movements, a few demo clips, and a patient who needs to find them at home. Print the QR on the paper sheet so the videos are one scan away. Keep names, diagnoses and anything identifying out of an open link; use a password on any plan, or give each patient a generic sheet without personal details. week-5-block.pdfPDF meal-plan.pdfPDF exercise-sheet.pdfPDF program-v2.docxDOCX home-routine.pdfPDF week-5-block.pdfPDF meal-plan.pdfPDF exercise-sheet.pdfPDF program-v2.docxDOCX home-routine.pdfPDF week-5-block.pdfPDF meal-plan.pdfPDF exercise-sheet.pdfPDF program-v2.docxDOCX home-routine.pdfPDF week-5-block.pdfPDF meal-plan.pdfPDF exercise-sheet.pdfPDF program-v2.docxDOCX home-routine.pdfPDF block-notes.pdfPDF deadlift-demo.mp4MP4 nutrition-guide.pdfPDF squat-form.mp4MP4 rehab-plan.pdfPDF block-notes.pdfPDF deadlift-demo.mp4MP4 nutrition-guide.pdfPDF squat-form.mp4MP4 rehab-plan.pdfPDF block-notes.pdfPDF deadlift-demo.mp4MP4 nutrition-guide.pdfPDF squat-form.mp4MP4 rehab-plan.pdfPDF block-notes.pdfPDF deadlift-demo.mp4MP4 nutrition-guide.pdfPDF squat-form.mp4MP4 rehab-plan.pdfPDF 2,700+ people sharing files 5,400+ links shared 18,000+ times opened Keep reading [PDF to link](https://linkinseconds.com/pdf-to-link-converter)[View-only file sharing](https://linkinseconds.com/view-only-file-sharing)[Video to link](https://linkinseconds.com/video-to-link)[Proposal tracking](https://linkinseconds.com/proposal-tracking)[QR code generator](https://linkinseconds.com/qr-code-generator) Source: https://linkinseconds.com/fitness-plan-link
