Importing your workouts

Have a training plan already written in a spreadsheet, a coach's PDF, or even a photo of a paper plan? hi.fitness can read it for you and turn it into editable workouts in your library — no manual retyping.

Where to find it

Open Library → Import from the side navigation. Both trainers and clients see the same page.

What you can upload

• Excel (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV spreadsheets
• PDFs of program documents
• Photos of paper plans (.jpg, .png, .webp, .heic)

You can drop several files at once. Max 20 MB per file.

How it works

1. Upload. Drag and drop files onto the page or click to browse.
2. Wait for the AI to read. Each file moves through Uploaded → Reading → Read. Most files finish in under a minute.
3. Review the drafts. Extracted workouts appear grouped by week and weekday. Each exercise is either matched to your existing library or flagged as New. Adjust names, sets, reps, weights — anything the AI got slightly wrong.
4. Decide on new exercises. For anything flagged New, you can pick an existing library exercise from the dropdown instead, or click + Create new exercise to add it to your library.
5. Import. Press Import N workouts. We save everything to your workout library and create any new exercises you confirmed.

Languages

The AI is told which language you use (the same one your hi.fitness UI is set to) and will return exercise names in your language. If the source document is in another language, the AI translates as it extracts.

Tips for better results

• Clean, well-formatted spreadsheets give the cleanest output.
• For photos: good lighting and a flat angle help the most.
• If an exercise name is unusual or a brand-specific machine, expect the AI to flag it as New so you can confirm.
• Already imported a draft and want to redo it? Use Clear and start over and upload again.

What we don't do (yet)

• We don't import bodyweight programs, mobility flows, or warm-ups as separate kinds — everything becomes a workout entry.
• The first version creates individual workouts; wrapping them into a multi-week Program template comes in a future update.
