Build routines with exercises, sets, reps and loads, spread them across the week and start each workout with everything ready.

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

  1. 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.

    Routines screen: the weekly plan with the routine for each day, Sunday to Saturday, and the Your routines section with the Push, Pull and Legs cards, each with its exercise count and a Start workout button.
    Step 1
  2. Name the routine and tap Add exercises to pick exercises from the library.

  3. Pick how many sets you want of each exercise. The workout opens with them ready.

    Editing the Push routine: routine colour, scheduled days, rest between sets and the exercise list with the number of sets for each, plus the Save and Start workout buttons at the bottom.
    Step 3
  4. If you like, set the Rest between sets for this routine only. Exercises with a rest of their own keep it.

  5. Spread your routines across the days of the week, so the card of the day suggests the right routine each day.

  6. 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
