Set an Exercise's Field Type (Reps or Rep Range)

Set an Exercise's Field Type (Reps or Rep Range)

Choose how an exercise's target is entered — a fixed number of reps, or a rep range.

When you build or edit a workout, each set has a weight field and a target field. Select Field Type lets you choose how that target is entered for an exercise: as a single Reps number (for example 10) or a Rep Range (for example 8–10).

Where: this works anywhere you edit a workout — building a base program or adjusting a client's program from their profile. The steps are the same in both.

Change the field type

  1. Open a workout so you can see its exercises. Each exercise lists its sets with a weight (kg) field and a reps target (the rest between sets shows as, e.g., 01:00).

  1. Tap the ... on the exercise, then choose Select Field Type.

  1. Pick the field type:

  • Reps — a single target number (for example 10).

  • Rep Range — a target range (for example 8–10).

These are currently the only two field types.

Enter the value

  1. Tap the target field and use the number pad. For a Rep Range, use the key to set the two ends (for example 8-10). The set then shows the range (e.g. "8–10 reps").

  2. Close the pad, then tap Save Changes.
