Tap a Link, Get the Workout: How Import Works

A workout plan trapped in a screenshot is a plan you will not follow. Screenshots do not track sets. Notes apps do not remember what you lifted last week. Gymia solves this with workout links: any workout, shared as a URL, opens as a preview page and imports into the app with one tap.

What happens when you tap a workout link

Every workout in Gymia has a shareable link. Open one and you land on a preview page that shows the full plan: exercise list, sets, reps, target muscles. You can read everything before deciding. If you have the app, one tap imports the workout into your library, ready to log. If you do not have it yet, the page walks you through getting it first, then finishes the import.

• No retyping exercises or copying numbers by hand.
• No account needed to preview the workout.
• The imported plan is fully editable — swap exercises, change set counts.
• Logging starts immediately, with your history attached from session one.

Where the links come from

Two places. First, the free workout library — all 174 workouts have import links, so anything you find on the site can be in your pocket seconds later. Second, other people. Anyone using Gymia can share any workout they have built or imported. Your friend's push day, your coach's program, a squad mate's favourite finisher — one link each.

Why links beat every other way of sharing plans

A link carries structure, not pixels. The receiving app knows what the exercises are, so it can show demo media, count your sets, and surface last session's numbers next time. Sharing a plan as text or images throws all of that away. This is also why squads work well: a shared workout is not a suggestion, it is the actual object, and everyone trains from the same copy.

What happens after the import

The workout becomes yours. Rename it, reorder it, swap an exercise you cannot do for one you can — none of that touches the original, so the person who shared it keeps their copy untouched. Your logs attach to your copy from the first session, which means the next time you open it, every set shows what you did last time. And because your copy is a real workout like any other, you can share it onward with a fresh link. Plans travel this way: library to friend, friend to squad, squad to someone none of you have met.

Try it in thirty seconds

Open the library, pick any workout, and hit import. That is the whole flow. If a friend trains with a plan you want, ask for the link instead of the screenshot — future you, mid set, will be glad the numbers came along.
