On Gymkee, you have 4 instruction labels (instruction slots) you can fill.

1 = Load & Intensity

The first label lets you set the load or intensity for the exercise. By default, it is “Weight.” You can click the label name to open the menu of charge & intensity labels.

You’ll choose between:

  • %1RM

  • Level / Intensity (great for cardio machines)

  • Bodyweight (for bodyweight exercises)

  • RPE by level (expected return 5 to 10)

  • RPE by weight (expected return = load)

  • None (no load expected)

Everything below are custom labels that you or I added!

You can adapt Gymkee to your coaching style by adding your own instruction labels.


Click “Add custom label” to do that.

2 = Time, distance, or repetitions

The second label lets you define time, reps, or distance for the exercise. Again, click the default label name to open more options:

By default you’ll see simple repetitions, but you can choose between:

  • MAX in reps (to failure)

  • MAX in time

  • MAX in distance

  • Distance (e.g. 1500m)

  • Classic repetitions (e.g. 12 reps)

  • Rep interval (e.g. 8–10 reps)

  • Time (e.g. 5:00)

All the options below are custom labels — you can add your own by clicking “Add custom label.”

3 = Rest time

The third label is the rest time.


Here you define the rest time between sets for your client.

4 = Tempo

The fourth label is the tempo instruction.


By default, tempo is deactivated (0-0-0-0).


To activate it, click and modify the values.


You can also add a comment on each set to give more guidance to your clients.

To add a comment, click the comment icon and write what you want to share.

If you wish to remove a set, click the “x” next to it.

Now you can fill in instructions for the client.
