How to Swap an Exercise in a Workout (Program Builder)

You can quickly replace any exercise within a session while building a program. This is useful when modifying programs, individualising for athletes, or updating movements without rebuilding the session.

Step 1: Open Your Program

  1. Go to Programs

  2. Open the program you want to edit

  3. Locate the session containing the exercise you want to change

Step 2: Open the Exercise Actions Menu

  1. Find the exercise within the session

  2. Click the three-dot (⋮) menu on that exercise

A menu will appear with options including:

  • Swap exercise

  • Duplicate

  • Remove

Select Swap exercise.

Step 3: Choose a Replacement Exercise

A swap window will open.

  1. Click the exercise field dropdown

  2. Search or browse for the replacement exercise

  3. Select the exercise you want to use

Step 4: Confirm the Swap

  1. Click Swap to confirm

  2. The new exercise will replace the original one in the session

You’ll see a confirmation message once the swap is successful.

What Gets Preserved When Swapping

When you swap an exercise:

  • The exercise position in the session remains the same

  • Set structure and formatting are preserved where applicable

  • The rest of the session is unchanged

Important: Changes made in the Program Builder only affect the program template.

  • They do not update workouts that have already been scheduled to athletes

  • They do not change sessions currently on an athlete’s calendar in the Hub or Capture app

  • Scheduled sessions remain exactly as originally assigned

To modify a workout that is already scheduled, you must edit it directly from the Calendar view.
