📝 Overview
A superset links two exercises together so members can alternate between them during a session, completing a set of the first exercise, then a set of the second, and so on. BoxMate makes this straightforward to set up when building sessions, and members get a clear, intuitive interface in the app for logging their sets across both exercises.
🛠️ How to Programme a Superset
Programming a superset in BoxMate takes just a few steps. In this example, we'll superset Deadlifts with a Clean Pull.
1️⃣ Click the search icon and search for the first exercise in your superset. Add it to your session as you normally would.
2️⃣ Click the blue sets button and build your sets for the first exercise — adding percentages, reps, and any other details as needed.
🧠 In this example, the first exercise is 3 x Deadlifts starting at 80% of the 3RM and increasing by 5% each set.
3️⃣ Click the search icon again and search for the second exercise in your superset. Add it to your session and build its sets in the same way.
4️⃣On the first exercise in your superset, click the red component icon (next to the blue sets icon). This opens the component settings pop-up.
5️⃣ Toggle Yes on the Superset with following exercise option.
6️⃣ Click Update Component.
The two exercises are now linked and will display as a superset in your session:
💡 Always apply the superset toggle to the first exercise in the pair. Click the red component icon on the first exercise. Not the second.
🧑💻 Customer View - How Members Log Supersets
When members open their session in the app, both exercises will be clearly shown as a superset. They can easily switch between them as they work through each set.
Here's how members work through their superset sets:
Open the first exercise (e.g. Deadlift) and enter the weight for the first set.
Tap the orange minimise icon to minimise the scoring pop-up.
Open the second exercise (e.g. Clean Pull) and enter the score for the first set.
Minimise again, then return to the first exercise to enter the second set — continuing to alternate until all sets are complete.
Once a member has started logging sets, the score button turns orange to indicate a set is in progress.
Once all set scores are in across both exercises, members save their sets as usual and enjoy their confetti celebration screen! 🎉

Which exercise do I apply the superset toggle to?
Click the arrow to see the answer
Click the arrow to see the answer
Always apply the superset toggle to the first exercise in the pair. Click the red component icon on the first exercise and set Superset with following exercise to Yes. Do not apply it to the second exercise.
Can I link more than two exercises in a superset?
Click the arrow to see the answer
Click the arrow to see the answer
The superset option links the first exercise to the following exercise directly beneath it in the session. If you need more complex exercise groupings, reach out to the BoxMate support team for guidance on the best approach.
What happens if I change the order of exercises after linking them?
Click the arrow to see the answer
Click the arrow to see the answer
If you reorder exercises after setting up the superset link, you may need to remove and reapply the superset setting to ensure the correct exercises are linked. The superset always applies between an exercise and the one directly following it in the session.
Can members see they're doing a superset in the app?
Click the arrow to see the answer
Click the arrow to see the answer
Yes. The superset is clearly visible in the app, and members can easily switch between the two exercises as they work through their sets. The score button turns orange once a set is in progress, and members save all sets as usual once complete.
Do both exercises in the superset need the same number of sets?
Click the arrow to see the answer
Click the arrow to see the answer
No. Each exercise in a superset has its sets configured independently using the blue sets button, so you can set different numbers of sets, reps, or percentages for each exercise as needed.
Can I use supersets when programming for PT clients?
Click the arrow to see the answer
Click the arrow to see the answer
Yes. Supersets can be programmed in the same way within the PT dashboard session builder. The process is identical, add both exercises, then apply the superset toggle to the first exercise.
