How to Add Custom Exercises on the Web

ABC Trainerize makes recording, uploading, and storing custom exercise videos fast and efficient. Trainers can upload new exercise videos directly from the ABC Trainerize mobile app or the ABC Trainerize web platform. 

Compared to YouTube, uploading your videos to Trainerize ensures:

• Videos are always ad-free
• No messy permission controls
• Privacy-protected and share-disabled
• Same smart streaming so videos start playing immediately and adjust to the internet speed available 
• Designed for the best experience with our mobile app

You may have exercises you want to train your clients with that may not be available in the ABC Trainerize exercise video library. For this reason, we allow trainers to create a library of custom exercise videos to add to their exercise library. In this article, we will cover how to upload custom exercise videos directly to the library, or with a video link from Youtube. 

Please note: Free accounts are limited to the upload of only 1 custom exercise video. If you are on a free account, you will need to upgrade to a paid plan in order to upload more than one exercise video.

1. Login to your Trainerize web account.

3. Click the blue New button.
   
   
4. From the pop-up menu, enter a title for your custom exercise.
5. Select the type of exercise (this is important so that the correct type of fields appear to input targets).
6. Add any relevant tags and instructions as needed.
7. You have the option to add a video to your custom exercise. You can add your video media in one of two ways using the video drop-down menu: 

• Drag and drop an .MP4 or a .MOV file (a recorded video file), 500mb (max size) onto the area indicated. Custom exercises uploaded can be up to 5 minutes in length.
• Copy and paste a video link directly from YouTube into the field indicated. This can be a video that you created and hosted on YouTube or another video that you found on YouTube that you wish to use.
