Saving a workout as a template

A template is a workout you built once and kept. It sits in your library under its own name, ready to run again with the sets you already dialled in.

Step 1. Build it, then open the sheet

A template is saved out of the builder, so build the workout first: the exercises in order, the reps and weight you are aiming for, the rest you want between sets.

The calendar button above Start workout opens the sheet that keeps it. Scheduling and saving share one sheet, so it arrives on a month, with Save as template under it.

Saving a template needs at least Lite. Building the workout and starting it right away never do.

Step 2. Turn on Save as template

Flip Save as template and the calendar steps aside, because a template carries no day on it. The button at the bottom rewrites itself to Save template.

Name the workout before you save. Whatever sits in the name field at the top of the builder is what the template is called in your library. Saving closes the builder and puts you back on Home.

The sheet does one or the other. Save twice to have both a template and a day in your plan.

Step 3. Find it in Your library

Templates live behind the folder in the builder's header, so the way back to one runs through the action menu: Start Custom Workout, then the folder.

Your library opens on Saved, which holds the workouts you scheduled to a day. Templates is the second tab. Every row carries the name you saved it under and the day you saved it, newest first.

Step 4. Run it, and keep it

The play button on a row starts the session there and then, every exercise, set and rest loaded at the numbers you saved. Nothing stands between the row and your first set.

Running a template does not spend it. What you log becomes its own workout in your history, and the template stays in the library exactly as you left it, so the next run starts from the same numbers again.

Those numbers stay put. Generate progression in the running workout's exercise menu rewrites them from your recent training.
