Workouts

Build reusable workout templates with default sets, weights and rest times.

A workout in Sparta is a reusable template. You build it once, then start a live session from it any time you want to train.

A workout has:

  • A name and a color so you can spot it at a glance in your list.
  • An ordered list of exercises.
  • A default set configuration for each exercise (weight, target reps or duration, rest).

You don’t have to follow the template exactly when you train. Defaults are starting points. Anything you change during a session stays in that session and doesn’t edit the template.

Your workouts list. Tap one to start a session or edit it.

Creating a workout

From the Workouts tab, tap the plus button. Give it a name and pick a color, then add exercises.

Each exercise carries its own default sets. A set has:

  • Weight in kilograms.
  • A target: either reps or a duration in seconds, depending on the exercise.
  • Rest in seconds after the set.

Sparta picks the right kind of target automatically based on the exercise. Bench press defaults to reps; planks default to duration. You can change a set from one to the other when needed.

Editing a workout

Open the workout and tap Edit. Reorder exercises, change defaults, swap exercises in or out.

Saving an edit replaces the workout’s exercise list. Past sessions that used the old version keep their own snapshot, so editing never alters history.

Deleting a workout

Deleting a workout removes the template but does not delete any past sessions that used it. Each history entry keeps a copy of the workout’s name and color, so your history stays readable forever.

Ordering and limits

  • Exercises are always shown in the order you set in the editor. Drag-and-drop to reorder.
  • Workouts in your list have their own order. You can rearrange them in the Workouts tab.
  • A workout can hold up to a fixed number of exercises. The same limit applies if you add an exercise on the fly during a session.
