Exercises Pro

This feature is part of the Pro plan.

Add your exercises to Exercises once, then just pick them for a session instead of typing them again. Exercises come with the Pro plan, and Premium includes them too.

Open the menu and tap Exercises under Catalog.
Tap New exercise.
Enter the exercise's name.
Under Measures, choose what you record: Sets, Reps, Weight or Time.
If you like, enter default values, for example 3 sets of 12 reps.
Save the exercise.

For each exercise you decide what to record: sets, reps and weight for a squat, for example, and only time for a plank. If you choose none, the exercise shows just its name. Every exercise can have a note; use the Note field for a technique tip, say.

You can also give exercises tags (for example Legs, Strength or Warm-up) in the exercise form, under Tags. Filter the Exercises list with the Filters button, and the picker on a session with the tags above its list. When you add an exercise to a session, its tags come along and show there too. If you change an exercise's tags later, sessions you already planned keep the old ones, and a deleted or merged tag simply drops off them.

Open the session.
Tap the Exercises tab.
Tap the Add button above the list.
Tick the exercises or blocks you want.
Tap Add. The exercises go onto the session right away.

With the Edit button, or in the More details section of the session form, you can also add and arrange the exercises. Tap an exercise to set the values you use in this session: that only changes the session, the default values saved under Exercises stay as they are. Drag the handle on the left to change the order, and tap the X to take an exercise off the session. If an exercise isn't in your list yet, add it right from the picker with New exercise.

If you always do certain exercises together, for example a warm-up (running, mobility, stretching), group them into a block. You manage blocks on the Blocks tab of the Exercises page.

Open Exercises and tap the Blocks tab.
Tap New block.
Enter the block's name.
Tap Add exercise and tick the exercises in the block.
If you do an exercise with different values in this block, tap it and enter them.
Save the block.

A block's exercises come from your Exercises: if you rename one there, the block shows the new name, and if you delete it, it drops out of the block. The values, however, belong to the block, and the exercise's default values don't change because of them.

You add a block to a session in the same place as exercises: your blocks are at the top of the picker, and search finds them too. If you filter the picker by tag, blocks are hidden. On the session a block shows as a single row with its name, so the list stays short, and tapping it opens its exercises. When you edit the session, you move the block as a whole with the handle and take it off as a whole with the X; inside the opened block you can still edit, reorder or remove exercises one by one. If you change or delete the block later, sessions you already planned don't change.

You can also make a block from a session's exercises: when you edit the session's exercises, tap Save as block, name the block, and tick which exercises go into it. The block is saved with the values set on this session, and the session itself doesn't change.

In a series, exercises behave like the description. A new series and saving with This and following give them to the later sessions too, and a copied session or a series extension carries the list as well. When you edit on the session's Exercises tab you can choose Only this one or This and following. With the second, a later session that already has its own, different exercises keeps them.

You can enter weights in kilograms or pounds: choose under Settings, Appearance & formatting, in the Weight unit row. This is available on every plan. Weights already saved stay in the unit you recorded them in; the app never converts anything.

Tip: Students don't see the exercises and the app sends nothing out: this is your own workout plan. If you delete an exercise from Exercises, the sessions that already have it keep it.

If your plan drops below Pro, you still see the exercises on older sessions, but editing them needs Pro.

Tip: Mark exercises and blocks you use often as favorites in the ⋮ menu of their edit page, or by long-pressing their row: they come first when you pick for a session and in the list too.

If you don't use exercises, you can hide them on Settings → Features. Nothing is deleted, and you can switch them back on any time.
