TrainingPeaks Coach accounts can lock or hide their athletes' planned workouts.
Locking Functionality Overview
When a coach locks an athlete's workout, they prevent an athlete from modifying a workout. Modification examples are moving a planned workout from one day to another or modifying a planned workout value like TSS or duration.
Hypothetical use case:
- An athlete frequently changes the order of planned workouts which contradicts the coach's actual plan.
- An athlete modifies planned workout values after the workout is completed so the workout compliance will turn green, or be compliant.
Hiding Functionality Overview
When a coach hides an athlete's workout, the athlete cannot see the planned workout on their TrainingPeaks calendar; the coach, however, can see the workout but will see the crossed-out eye icon indicating the workout is hidden.
Hypothetical Use Case:
- A coach is performing long term planning and doesn't want the athlete to have visibility on workouts too far in the future.
- The coach enters a note to themselves as a coaching aid (a reminder, an observation, etc) that they don't need the athlete to see

How Lock/Hide Multiple Workouts - Weekly Summary Method

- Load the desired athlete calendar
- Find the workout you wish to lock/hide
- Click the ☰ on the weekly summary
- Select 'Lock' (or 'Hide') from the drop-down. All the workouts in the week that will be locked/hidden will highlight in blue. Upon selecting 'lock', they will no longer be modifiable by a TrainingPeaks athlete.

How to Lock/Hide Multiple Workouts - Shift Method
- Click on the date header of the first workout in the range
- Go to the last day of the range and, while holding SHIFT, click on the date header. Please note that you are not limited to a week of lock/shift with this method, you can highlight weeks/months at a time.
- Select one of these two options from the list that is displayed
- This range of workouts will now each have displayed an eye with a line through it (hidden) or a lock.
- To show (unhide) or unlock this range of workouts, use the same steps listed above to find this option
Of Note
- Once an athlete uploads data to a workout it cannot be hidden by a coach.
- At this time we do not offer automated 'unhiding' or 'unlocking'. If a coach wants a locked/hidden workout to be unlocked/unhidden, they must remember to do so as TrainingPeaks does not automatically perform that function on their behalf.
