A routine is a saved workout: the exercises, the sets of each one and the rest between them. With routines spread across the days of the week, the card of the day on the Home screen already suggests the right workout.
Step by step
On the Home screen, scroll to Your routines and tap the arrow next to the title to open the Routines screen. Below the cards, tap New routine.

Step 1 Name the routine and tap Add exercises to pick exercises from the library.
Pick how many sets you want of each exercise. The workout opens with them ready.

Step 3 If you like, set the Rest between sets for this routine only. Exercises with a rest of their own keep it.
Spread your routines across the days of the week, so the card of the day suggests the right routine each day.
To train, tap Start workout and choose the routine.
Common problems
- The routine does not show on the card of the day
- Check that it is planned for today and that the suggestion of the day is on in settings.
- I changed the routine during a workout and want to keep it
- At the end of the workout, Gym+ shows what changed from the routine, so you can update the routine or save it as a new one.
Open in the app
In Gym+, tap the question mark on the Home screen to open the Help Center and search for “Routines”. The Open now button takes you straight to the screen.
