Exercise Library

AndreiWritten by Andrei

What is this?

The Exercise Library is a searchable database of exercises that you use when building workouts. It includes thousands of built-in exercises with video demonstrations, and you can also create your own custom exercises.

Why it is useful

Having a comprehensive exercise database means you spend less time describing movements to clients. Each exercise includes muscle group targeting and video demos so clients know exactly what to do.

Use Cases

  • Searching for exercises by name or muscle group when building workouts
  • Adding custom exercises that are specific to your coaching style
  • Browsing exercises to find alternatives or variations
  • Viewing exercise details and demonstration videos

  • Exercise videos play within the client mobile app during workout sessions

FAQs

Can I edit a built-in exercise?

No. Built-in exercises are read-only. You can duplicate them and modify the copy.

Do clients see exercise videos?

Yes. When a client taps an exercise during a workout, they see the demonstration video.

Can I import exercises from another platform?

Not directly. You would need to create them manually as custom exercises.
