Templates: create, save, reuse

Templates are saved workout structures. Build a workout once, save it as a template, reuse it next time.

What’s in a template

A template captures the workout structure:

• Exercise list and order
• Working sets, target reps, planned load
• Rest timers per exercise
• Per-set targets (velocity, RPE, stop conditions)
• Warm-up vs working set distinction
• Optional notes

It does not capture actual recorded data from past sessions.

Creating a template

Three paths:

From scratch: Templates → New template. Add exercises, configure targets, name and save.

From a built workout: at the end-of-workout screen, tap Save as template.

From a past workout: open the session from History → menu → Save as template.

Editing a template

Templates aren’t frozen. From the template list, pick a template → Edit. Add, remove, or reorder exercises, change reps, loads, rest timers, targets. Save.

Changes apply the next time you start a workout from the template. Workouts already in progress or in history aren’t retroactively changed.

Starting a workout from a template

1. New workout → From template.
2. Pick the template.
3. Optionally adjust loads for today.
4. Tap Start.

Adjusting loads at start lets you follow percentage-based programmes without rebuilding the template every week.

Repeat from history

If you’d rather not save templates, just redo a past session:

1. History → pick a past workout → Repeat workout.
2. The new workout pre-fills with the same structure and loads.
3. Adjust before starting if needed.

Naming templates

Names are searchable. Patterns that work:

• By day: “Monday — Squat”, “Wednesday — Bench”
• By focus: “Heavy Lower”, “Volume Upper”, “Speed Squat”
• By block: “Block 1 — Hypertrophy”, “Block 2 — Intensification”

Velocity targets in templates

Set per-set velocity targets when building the template — every session inherits them. Examples:

• Speed work: target mean velocity ≥ 0.8 m/s, stop the set if any rep drops below.
• Strength work: target mean velocity ≥ 0.5 m/s.
• Hypertrophy: target velocity loss ≤ 25% across the set.

Sharing templates

Two flows:

• Direct link — share with anyone via a universal link. See Sharing templates via direct link.
• Coach to athlete — push to an athlete’s account from Coach Mode. See Sharing programs with your team.

Deleting templates

From the template list, swipe or long-press → delete. Deleting a template doesn’t affect past workout history that ran against it.

Limit

Free accounts can keep 2 active templates. Archived templates don’t count towards the limit, so you can park old blocks rather than deleting them. Pro, Ultra and Family accounts have no cap.

If you drop from a paid plan back to free, Metric archives all but your 2 most recently used templates. Nothing is deleted, and they come back as soon as you subscribe again. See Subscriptions.
