Create your own exercise

Open the exercise picker

Tap + → Log workout. The picker opens on Recent when you have logged anything, with All beside it. Search for the exercise first: the library has built-in strength, cardio, calisthenics, mobility and machine exercises, and a built-in one has a guide and a ladder of badges. If nothing matches, tap + Create new exercise at the bottom of the list.

Fill in the form

The form is short. Whatever you had typed in the search box becomes the name, so check the spelling.

1. Exercise: the name, for example the machine or variation as you call it.
2. Type: Strength for sets of weight and reps, or Cardio for time and distance.
3. Area: the part of the body it trains — arms, back, calisthenics, chest, conditioning, core, glutes, legs, mobility, olympic or shoulders.
4. Tap Create & select. Cancel takes you back to the search you came from.

Log it straight away

The new exercise is selected for you without reloading the page, so you can enter your sets, or your time and distance, right away. It is in your picker from then on. Routines use the same form: when you build a routine, the exercise picker there offers Create new exercise too (see Build and use routines).

What to know before you create one

An exercise you create does not have a ladder of badges, so nothing counts toward Badges for it (see Earn badges and see your next one). Your sets and history for it are recorded as usual. If a built-in exercise is close to what you do, use that one and keep the badge ladder; use the exercise guide to compare. Coaches can add exercises for a whole club from Plans → Exercises; see Coaching: schedule, workouts and programs.
