The exercise library with filters and categories

Find an exercise

Search by name, then narrow the list with the filter row. Use the two icons next to the search bar to switch between grid and list.

Type
The pills: Strength, Stretching, Cardio, Mobility and more. Click one to filter, click it again to clear.
Body part
All Body Parts opens a list of muscle groups. Pick a whole group or one muscle inside it.
Equipment
All Equipment lists what your exercises use: barbell, dumbbell, cable, machine, body weight and more.

Hover a thumbnail to play its animation. Hover an exercise to edit it, duplicate it, change its category or delete it. Delete only appears on exercises you created.

Editing a library exercise saves your own copy, so the original stays untouched. Reset to Original puts the library version back.

Create your own exercise

Click Create Exercise to open a three-step dialog. A name, at least one muscle group and equipment are required. Everything else is optional.

1 Exercise
Name it the way clients say it, then pick the type: Strength, Cardio, Stretching, Mobility and more.
Step 1: name and type
2 Targeting
Pick every muscle group it trains and the equipment it needs. Category is optional: choose one of yours, or type a new name to create it.
Step 2: muscle groups, equipment and category
3 Coaching
Written instructions, form tips, an image, and a video. Upload an MP4, WebM or MOV up to 50 MB, or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link.
Step 3: instructions, form tips, image and video

The image and video show wherever the exercise appears: in workouts, in plans and in your clients’ app. Clients get a play button when an exercise has a video.

Tag every muscle an exercise trains, so the body part filter finds it.

Categories

Type, body part and equipment are built in. Categories are your own labels on top, such as Warm-up, Home or Machines. They live in the sidebar under Categories.

Each exercise has one category. Set it in step 2 of the create dialog, or hover an exercise and use the tag icon.
Delete
Hover a category and click the x. The exercises inside are never deleted: they move to another of your categories, or to Uncategorized.

Categories can’t be renamed or recolored. To rename one, create a new category and move the exercises over.
