How do I change an exercise's metric type (reps, time, distance)?
Set an exercise's tracking type and tracking columns to control exactly what your client logs per set.
What a client logs per set comes from two settings. The exercise's tracking type sets the default, and the tracking columns name the exact metrics. You can set both on the exercise itself, and override the columns for a single workout.
Change an exercise's tracking type
- Go to Training → Exercises and open a custom exercise.
- Under Category, choose the tracking type.
- Save.
| Tracking type | What the client logs |
|---|---|
| Strength | Weight × reps |
| Bodyweight | Reps |
| Timed | Time |
| Long Distance | Distance (km/mi) × time |
| Short Distance | Distance (m/yd) × time |
A tracking type is required before an exercise will save.
Choose the exact tracking columns
Tracking columns are the per-set fields the client fills in. They default to whatever the tracking type implies, and you can pick up to three from: weight, reps, long distance, short distance, time, speed, cadence, RPE, RIR, heart rate, heart-rate %, calories, watts, RPM, and rounds. A rest column always shows alongside.
Override the metrics for one workout
- Open the workout in Training → Workouts.
- On the exercise card, choose the tracking columns for this workout.
- Save the workout.
The override applies to this workout only. The exercise's own defaults are unchanged, and other workouts keep using them.
