Run a program

Build a program, plan its weeks, review finished runs.

Create a program

Open the Program tab, tap + New program, then tap a template for your own copy or fill in Or build your own:

  1. Set Program name, Length (weeks) (8) and Sessions per week (3).
  2. Pick a Focus (Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance, Hold or Custom). It sets the rep range for exercises without their own (Glossary).
  3. Optional: Advanced: progression rules (options, modes).
  4. Tap Create active program, or Save as saved program.
Build a program, set its stages, or start from a proven plan.

Add workouts

On the program's page, tap + Add saved workout, pick from Saved or Past sessions, and tap Add. Or open an example program and tap Start (or Copy link to share it).

Changed a workout mid-session? Tap Update program workout on the finished workout so future sessions match. History is unchanged.

Stages

A stage gives a week its own focus, for example three Hypertrophy weeks, a Deload, then Strength.

  1. In the program form, tap Plan weeks with stages. (Settings → Progression → Stages enables them for every program.)
  2. Tap a week's tile, pick a stage, and under Apply to choose that week or the weeks through the end.
Stage The week
Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance 3–5, 6–12 or 12–20 reps.
Hold Keeps the weight.
Deload Usual reps at 60% of normal load.
New stage Your own rep range and Progress by; More options has target RPE and set changes.

A week ends when its workouts are done or skipped, so missed days never skip a stage. After 10 or more days away, the next session offers Skip to week. The current week's card also has Deload and Skip; Skip leaves unfinished workouts undone, and on the last week completes the program.

To run a different exercise in a stage, open the exercise's menu in an active-program workout and tap Variants.

Deloads

None is scheduled for you. Set a week to the Deload stage, or tap Deload this week on the program's page (Cancel deload undoes it). Stall deload: Progression suggestions. Math: Equations.

Completed programs

Archived programs move to Completed programs, marked Finished or Archived, with workouts done. View stats shows totals and PRs. Restart program begins again at Week 1 and keeps the old run. Restore returns it to saved programs.
