Ready to take full control of your training? With RepVault, building your own personalized workout program is easier and more powerfull than ever. Whether you’re targeting strength, hypertrophy, or general fitness, this guide walks you through the process of designing a custom plan tailored to your goals.

Step 1: Set Your Training Goals

Before you build anything, define your purpose. Ask yourself:

• Are you training for strength, size, or endurance?
• How many days per week can you realistically commit?
• Do you prefer full body workouts , upper lower splits , push pull legs , or another form?

RepVault helps guide this process by offering flexible templates and performance metrics so your program is aligned with what matters most to you.

Step 2: Create a New Program

• On iPhone or iPad: Go to your "Dashbaord" and then select "My Programs".
• On Mac: Go to the "Programs" section.
• On iPhone, iPad, and Mac: Go to your "Routine" tab. Select the + button in the top right then select "Add Program".

Now that you are in the Program View select the + button then select "Create".

Step 3: Add Program Information

Once you have made it to the Create Program View, you’ll be prompted to fill out key details about your program plan. This is where you define the identity of your program and set the tone for your workouts.

Here’s what each field means:

• Title & Subtitle: Give your program a clear name (e.g., 4 Week Strength) and add a subtitle which is optional.
• Color & Icon: Choose a color and icon to visually organize your program. This makes it easy to spot in your list later.
• Type: Select the general style or training focus (Traditional Strength or HIIT). More type coming
• Difficulty Level: Choose who the program is designed for—Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert. This helps you or others know the right starting point.
• Details (Optional): See how to set up your equipment and profile to tailor your program to your available gear.

When you’re done, tap Save and move on to building out your workouts.

Step 4: Add Segment Groups and Segment (Phases)

Now it’s time to break your program into Segment Groups—a powerful way to organize your training into structured phases.

Each Segment Group represents a major section of your program (e.g. Foundation, Strength Block, Peak Phase), and within each group, you’ll define one or more Segments (or phases), each with its own duration and workouts.

Here’s how to set it up:

Add a Segment Group

Tap “Add Group” and give your group a title and subtitle:

• Title: Give it a title like Foundation.
• Subtitle: Add a subtitle like Building phases or Full body workouts

Add Segments to the Group

Within each group, tap “Add Segment” to define a specific training phase:

• Title: Give it a name like Phase 1 or Deload Week.
• Subtitle: Add a subtitle like 3 weeks.
• Tap Manage Workouts to start adding workouts specific to this segment.

View Workout Count

Each segment shows how many workouts it contains, helping you track your progress while building.

This structure allows you to build flexible programs with multiple stages—perfect for periodized training, deloads, or progressive overload cycles. You can add as many groups and segments as needed to match your plan.

Step 5: Add Workouts to a Segment

With your segment in place, it’s time to build out the workouts that make up each phase.

Here’s how it works:

• Tap Manage Workouts in the segment.
• In the top left corner, tap the plus (+) button to add a new workout.
• Give your workout a title, like Push Day, Leg Power, or Day 1. This helps keep your training organized.
• Once the workout is created, you’ll see a dumbbell icon next to it. Tap that icon to start adding exercises.

Each workout can include as many exercises as you like, and you’ll be able to customize sets, reps, rest times, and more inside the next screen.

Step 6: Add Exercises to Workouts

Start building your workout by adding exercises. Tap "+ Add an Exercise" to open the exercise library. If you select "Exercise", You can search for exercises by name or filter by body part. Once you find an exercise you want, tap it to add it to the workout.

There are also exercise group options to pick from

• Exercise Group
• Superset
• Circuit (Repeat)
• Circuit (Time)

Tap "+ Add an Exercise" for the group to select an exercise

Step 7: Structure Your Program by Week

The final step is assigning workouts to each day of the week, giving your program structure and flow.

Inside the Structure section, you’ll define how your workouts are scheduled week to week.

Here’s how it works:

Add Weeks

Tap the plus (+) button to add weeks to your program. You can create as many weeks as your training plan requires—perfect for 4-week foundations, 8-week hypertrophy blocks, or full 12-week programs.

Select a Day Within a Week

Tap on a specific day (e.g., Day 1) in the week timeline to open the workout assignment screen.

Assign a Workout

You’ll be presented with a list of workouts you’ve created earlier. Simply select the one you want to run on that day.

Choose Workout Type

Use the Workout Type picker to categorize the session as:

• Primary: Main training session (e.g. full body, heavy compound lifts).
• Secondary: Lighter or accessory-focused work.
• Stretch: Mobility, recovery, or active rest sessions.

Tap Set to lock it in for that day.

This step gives your program structure and makes it ready to run seamlessly in the RepVault app, guiding you through each week with clarity and purpose.

• Tap "Add to Routine" to add this program to your routine.
• RepVault will automatically guide you through each workout in sequence.
