How to Create a Custom Exercise
If your gym has a unique machine or you do a specific exercise variation that is not in the list, you can add it in seconds and track it like any regular movement.
How to do it
1
Search for Your Movement
Whenever you are choosing an exercise, type the name of your movement into the search bar.
2
Tap "+ Create Custom Movement"
If the exercise is not found in the list, a button appears at the bottom of the screen saying "+ Create Custom Movement" with your typed name.
3
Save to Your Library
The app automatically figures out which muscles the exercise works (like chest or biceps) and what equipment it uses. Tap "Save" and it is ready to use.
Good to Know
- Your custom exercises stay in your library forever, and the app will track your personal records and history for them just like standard exercises.
- You can use your custom exercises in any routine or add them on the fly while working out.
