Tracking and maintaining clean exercise names is important if you want consistent workout logs. Gym Note Plus makes it easy to rename or merge exercises across all your workouts in just a few clicks.
How to rename or merge exercises across all workouts in Gym Note Plus
Over time, exercise names can get messy. You might realise an exercise name is slightly wrong, too long, or inconsistent across your workouts.
For example, you may have been using "30 Degree Incline Bench Press" but later decide that "Incline Bench Press" is clearer and cleaner.
The issue is that this exercise might already exist in many workouts. Editing each workout manually would be slow and frustrating. You might also already have an exercise called "Incline Bench Press" and want both exercises to be treated as the same movement.
Gym Note Plus solves this with built in exercise renaming and merging.
Rename an exercise everywhere it is used
Renaming an exercise updates its name across all workouts automatically.
Step by step
- Open the Exercises tab.
- Tap the exercise you want to rename.
- Tap the ellipsis in the top right corner.
- Select Rename Exercise.
- Enter your new exercise name.
- Save the change.

Once saved, every workout that previously used "30 Degree Incline Bench Press" will now display "Incline Bench Press". No manual edits required.
Merge two exercises into one
If you have duplicate exercises and want to combine them, merging is the best option.
Step by step
- Open the Exercises tab.
- Tap the exercise you want to merge.
- Tap the ellipsis in the top right corner.
- Select Merge with Another Exercise.
- Choose the exercise you want to merge into.
The selected exercise becomes the final exercise name. All workouts that used the old exercise will now reference the chosen one.

This is perfect for cleaning up duplicates and keeping your exercise list consistent.
Tips and tricks
- Renaming an exercise to the same name as an existing exercise behaves the same as merging them.
- Gym Note Plus keeps track of exercise renames and merges so future translations and updates continue using your preferred exercise names instead of reverting to old ones.
Conclusion
With built in renaming and merging, keeping your exercise list clean takes seconds instead of hours. Change it once and every workout stays consistent automatically.
