Coaches: exercise library
Exercises in the sidebar holds your workspace’s own exercises. Straton’s ready-made exercises live in the Straton Library, which you open from the same page.
Using the Straton Library
- Go to Exercises and click Straton Library.
- Search, or filter by muscle and equipment. Sort by Popular or Name.
- Add an exercise to your library.
Straton’s originals cannot be edited. Once an exercise is in your library, you can use it in any workout. Straton Library exercises are also available directly inside the workout builder.
