Difference Between Watchlists and Collections

Learn the difference between Watchlists and Collections on Perspire.tv and how each one is used.

Written by Stephen Sullivan

Perspire.tv has two ways to organize fitness content but they serve very different purposes depending on whether you are a User or a Trainer. Here is a quick breakdown of each.


Watchlists: For Users

Watchlists are personal folders that Users create to save and organize their favorite workout videos. They live in your Dashboard under the Video Library tab and are only visible to you.

You can create multiple custom Watchlists for any purpose such as Morning Workouts, Upper Body, or Favorites, and add any video from the platform to them.

A default Favorites folder is automatically created for every user account. Any video you like or save using the Heart or Save button will be added to your Favorites automatically.


Collections: For Trainers

Collections are folders that Trainers create on their channel to organize and categorize their uploaded videos. They are visible to anyone visiting the trainer's channel page and help users browse a trainer's content by theme, style, or focus area.

For example a trainer might create Collections for Beginner Workouts, HIIT Sessions, or Yoga Flows to make it easier for users to find the content most relevant to them.
