If you want to do a specific exercise and can't find it in our library, you can suggest it be added through our subreddit or in the app (Settings > Feature Request).

If you don't want to wait until it is added or if it, for some reason, doesn't meet our criteria, you can always add it yourself. Here's how:

  • Go to Search.

  • Tap the ➕ in the upper right corner.

  • Enter the Name of the exercise.

  • Choose the Type of exercise from the list.

  • Select the Primary muscle group.

  • Optional: Select the Secondary muscles and the needed Equipment.

Done! You created an exercise! Now, it can be manually added to your sessions.

Want the AI to include your shiny new exercise in your routine? 🏋🏽‍♀️

  • Toggle on the option "Include in workouts".

    Optionally:

  • Choose between Compound and Isolation Movement.

  • Select the Importance Level.

  • Select the Related exercises (those that should not be included in same workouts as your custom exercise).

  • Tap the "i" icon for more information about these three options.

💪🏾 Gravl Tip:

If you want to take it one step further, after creating the exercise search for it and:

  • Tap the three dots

  • Select Advanced

  • Set your next 1RM

This allows our AI to generate an accurate progression. If you skip this step, the AI will start with the lowest possible number of reps and weights. It will adjust for the next time, of course, based on your actual performance and input.
