Workout Template Editor — Inline Parameters
Set reps, sets, weight, tempo, RPE, and rest for every exercise in your template using the inline parameter panel.
The workout template editor lets you set every parameter for each exercise directly inside the editor. You don't need a separate config screen — click the chevron on any exercise row to expand the parameter panel.
Adding exercises to a template
There are two ways to add exercises:
- Click Workouts in the sidebar to see your Workout Templates.
- Select a template card to open it in the editor.
- Click the arrow on an exercise row to open its set details.
- Drag: From the exercise picker on the left, drag a GIF card onto the canvas. The drop zone highlights when you hover over it.
- Click + button: On mobile, or if you prefer not to drag, each exercise card in the picker has a + button. Tap it to add the exercise to the bottom of the canvas.
Both methods create a new row in the canvas.
Opening the parameter panel
Each canvas row has a chevron button (expand arrow) on the right side. Click the chevron to reveal the parameter panel for that exercise. Click it again to collapse.
The row body itself is not a click target — only the chevron opens the panel. This avoids accidental opens when you're trying to drag the row.
What you can set per set
The parameter panel shows a row per set. For each set you can configure:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Set type | Warmup, Working, Drop, Pyramid, AMRAP, Cluster |
| Reps | Number or range (e.g. "8-10") |
| Weight | Optional — with units: kg, lb, or % of 1RM |
| Weight guidance | Free text (e.g. "start light, feel it out") |
| Rest (sec) | Seconds to rest after this set |
| RPE | 1–10 scale — perceived effort target |
| RIR | 0–5 — reps in reserve |
| Tempo | Four-digit string: eccentric-pause-concentric-start (e.g. "3-1-2-0") |
| Notes | Free text for any other cue |
Add or remove sets using the + Add set and trash buttons inside the panel.
Section types
Each exercise row belongs to a section. The section type is set in the row header:
- Standalone — a normal exercise.
- Superset — grouped with the adjacent exercise. A visual bracket appears.
- Circuit — multiple exercises done back-to-back for rounds.
- Warmup / Cooldown — displayed in a distinct style in the client's app.
Group consecutive exercises into a superset by setting all of them to Superset and giving them the same sectionGroupId (handled automatically when you click the "Group as superset" button in the panel header).
Reordering exercises
Drag the grip handle (left side of each row) to reorder. Hold and drag — the exercise follows your pointer. Release to drop.
On keyboard: focus the grip handle, press Ctrl+Space (or Cmd+Space on Mac) to pick up the row, then use arrow keys to move it, then press Ctrl+Space again to drop. Regular Space inside the parameter panel still types normally.
Common pitfalls
Where to find this
- Create:
/workouts/new. - Edit:
/workouts/[id]/edit. - The inline parameter panel is on every exercise row in the canvas.
