Ended up with the same movement twice — a custom "DB Bench" next to the library's Bench Press (Dumbbell), or two spellings of one exercise after an import? Merge the duplicate into the exercise you want to keep. Every set moves across with its weight, reps, and date, and your records and charts update to match.
Merge one exercise into another#
- Open the Exercises tab and open the custom exercise you want to get rid of.
- Tap the ⋯ menu in the top-right corner and choose Merge Into Another Exercise.
- Pick the exercise that should keep the history — a library exercise or another custom one.
- Check What moves: the number of workouts, sets, and routines that will be re-filed.
- Tap Merge and keep Gript open until it finishes.
What changes#
- Every set from the merged exercise is filed under the target, unchanged.
- Records, charts, and previous performance recalculate from the combined history.
- Routines that used the merged exercise now point at the target.
- The merged exercise is deleted. If it counted towards the free plan's custom exercise limit, that slot is free again.
Good to know#
- Only custom exercises can be merged away. Library exercises are shared by everyone, so they can be a target but never the one that disappears.
- Merging rewrites your history on the server, so it needs an internet connection. Offline, the option waits until you reconnect.
- If the app closes mid-merge, nothing is lost: open the exercise again and Gript picks up where it stopped.
- Importing later? Import matching lets you point an unfamiliar name at an existing exercise up front, so the duplicate never gets created.
