How do I create my own freestyle workout?

Build, run, edit, and delete your own workouts from the Freestyle Workout tile on the Progress tab.

Verified Sep 12, 2026Client app

A freestyle workout is one you build yourself, outside anything your coach assigned. You create it from the Freestyle Workout tile on the Progress tab and run it in the same player as any other session.

Build a freestyle workout

  1. Open the tile and start a new workout. Progress → Freestyle Workout
  2. Name it — up to 50 characters.
  3. Set a duration in minutes, up to 3 digits.
  4. Add exercises from the libraries your coach allows — the default exercise library unless your coach turns it off, plus your coach's custom exercises if they turn those on.
  5. Long-press and drag to reorder exercises.
  6. Set each exercise's sets, reps, rest, and times, then save.

Run a freestyle workout

Open the workout from the Freestyle Workouts list and start it. It runs in the standard workout player, so you get the same set rows, previous results, rest timer, layouts, and finish flow, and the session is kept with the rest of your results.

The session logs to the day you do it. Your coach sees it on their calendar labelled "Freestyle · Logged by the client".

Edit or delete a freestyle workout

From the Freestyle Workouts list you can:

  • Edit the workout's name and duration
  • Edit its exercises — add, remove, reorder, or change sets, reps, rest, and times
  • Run it
  • Delete it, after a confirmation

Things to watch out for

Only one workout runs at a time. If a coach-assigned session is already in progress, finish or cancel it before starting a freestyle one.

Archived accounts can't start workouts, freestyle ones included. Your history stays viewable.

Quick answers

Do freestyle workouts count toward my streak?

Yes. They add to your completed workout totals and extend your workout streak, and they never break it — only missing a workout your coach scheduled does that.
