How does the workout builder work?

Build a workout end to end — name, duration, intensity, focus, exercises, sections, and sets — or generate a draft with AI.

Verified Sep 12, 2026Web + coach app

Workouts are the sessions you assign to clients or place into programs. You build them in the workout builder: an exercise library rail on the left, the workout itself in the middle, and an arrangement panel on the right for reordering.

Workouts live on the web dashboard under Training → Workouts. The coach mobile app serves the same dashboard, so everything here works there too.

Build a workout

  1. Go to Training → Workouts and click New workout.
  2. Name the workout — up to 100 characters — and optionally add tags and a cover image.
  3. Set the duration, intensity, and focus. These show on the client's workout preview. LowMediumdefaultHighMax
  4. Add exercises: pick them from the picker or drag them in from the library rail.
  5. Optionally group exercises into sections.
  6. Configure each exercise's sets, rest, tempo, tracking columns, and notes.
  7. Click Save workout.

Every section must contain at least one exercise, and in an interval section every set needs a time. The builder tracks unsaved changes and warns you before you navigate away.

Generate a workout with AI

  1. On the Workouts page, click Generate workout.
  2. Describe the session — split, focus, time budget, equipment available — in up to 1,000 characters. Quick ideas chips like "Back & biceps hypertrophy" or "Dumbbell-only at home" get you started.
  3. Click Generate workout and review the draft. If it isn't right, click Regenerate.
  4. Click Edit Workout to open the draft in the builder pre-filled, where you can adjust everything before saving.

Manage your workout library

The Workouts page lists your workouts with each one's exercises, tags, and last-updated time. Search by name, filter by tags, and sort by Recent or A–Z. A row's eye icon opens a read-only quick view, and the row menu offers Duplicate and Delete. Each delete is limited to 10 workouts.

Quick answers

Why can't I enter a tempo of 10 seconds?

Each of the four tempo numbers must be a single digit, 0–9. Put longer counts in the exercise notes instead.
