Start an Ad Hoc Workout (Quick Start) - Capture App

Athletes can now start a workout anytime - even without a scheduled session.

Written by Leon Foley

The Quick Start Workout feature allows you to begin a session instantly, so you can track your training even when plans change or no workout has been assigned.


What is Quick Start Workout?

Quick Start Workout lets you create an empty workout and build it as you go.

Instead of needing a pre-planned session, you can:

  • Start a workout instantly

  • Name your session before beginning

  • Add exercises and sets during your workout

Your session is saved just like any other workout, even though it’s not linked to a program or template.


How to start a Quick Start Workout

You can start a Quick Start Workout from two places:

From the Home Screen

If no workouts are scheduled or assigned for the day, you’ll see a Quick Start Workout option directly on your home screen.

From the Workout List

You can also start a workout from the workout list screen by selecting Quick Start Workout.


Steps

  1. Tap Quick Start Workout

  2. Enter a workout name (this defaults to today’s date)

  3. Tap Start

You’ll enter an empty workout where you can begin adding exercises and recording sets.


How it works

  • A new workout is created that is not linked to a template or program

  • You can add exercises and sets as you train

  • All data is saved as a completed workout

  • The session is tracked like any other workout

Note: Quick Start Workout is only available when you do not have a workout already in progress.


Why use Quick Start Workout?

Quick Start removes a key barrier to tracking your training.

It allows you to:

  • Capture workouts even when they’re unplanned

  • Avoid missing session data

  • Stay consistent with tracking
