How to manage your exercise library

Updated July 19, 2026

Every workout you build pulls from the exercise library. CoachOS ships with a full catalog — demonstration GIFs included — and you can add your own exercises on top.

1. Browse the library

Go to ProgramsExercises. Filter by category chips (Strength, Bodybuilding, Calisthenics, Cardio, HIIT, Mobility), sort, and favorite the exercises you use most.

2. Search

Type in Search exercises... to filter by name — useful mid-build when you know exactly what you want.

3. Create your own

Click Create Exercise for movements the catalog doesn't cover — name it, set the category and equipment, and tag the muscles it targets. Custom exercises behave exactly like catalog ones in workouts, logging, and progress charts.
