Feature
Turn a photo or PDF of a workout program into a routine
How do you import a workout program into WLog?
- Open WLog and start an AI import.
- Choose a source: take a photo, pick an image from your gallery, choose a PDF, CSV or TXT file, or paste text.
- WLog reads the program and drafts a routine with its days, exercises, sets, rep ranges and weights.
- Check the draft and fix anything it misread.
- Save the routine. From then on, logging and automatic progression work as with any routine.
Which formats can WLog import?
| Source | Works? | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Camera photo | Yes | A printed plan, a notebook page, a gym whiteboard |
| Screenshot or gallery image | Yes | A program from a social post, a website or a message |
| PDF file | Yes | An ebook or a coach's plan |
| CSV file | Yes | A workout export from Strong, Hevy or another app; the logged sets are condensed into routines |
| TXT file | Yes | Notes exported as plain text |
| Pasted text | Yes | Text copied from notes, a chat or a spreadsheet |
| Workout history from Strong, Hevy or others | No | AI import builds routines, not past sessions |
From any of these, the import picks up training days, exercises, sets, rep ranges, weights, RPE or RIR and set types. It also reads plans written in languages other than English.
What are the limits of AI import?
WLog allows up to 3 imports every 30 minutes. The import builds routines only: past workouts are not imported, and WLog has no data export.
How accurate is the import?
Clear, well-lit photos and typed text are the easiest to read. Automated reading is not perfect: handwriting, abbreviations and unusual exercise names can come out wrong, so review the draft before you train with it. Everything stays editable after saving.
Can I use AI import to switch from another app?
For routines, yes. Export your workouts from Strong, Hevy or another app as a CSV file and choose it in AI import: WLog condenses the logged sets into routines. A screenshot of the routine or its copied text works too. Your past workout history does not come across, because the import builds routines, not past sessions. See WLog vs Strong and WLog vs Hevy for what else changes.

Frequently asked questions
