Exercise Library

What it is

The Exercise Library is the catalog Kinoku logs against, and it ships with 1,300+ built-in moves. The list covers barbell, dumbbell, machine, body weight, cable, band, swim, run, bike, and yoga work. Search, muscle data, and form notes all live inside the app, so the library still answers when you have no signal.

What each move carries

• Muscles it works, split into main and helper, which is the data the Muscle Map and your volume charts read.
• Gear type, so you can narrow a list down to what your gym owns.
• Move type: push, pull, hinge, squat, carry, and the rest.
• Big or small: a multi-joint lift, or a single-muscle move.
• Form notes: a few short cues on what to watch while you lift.
• Form images on some moves, with Pro letting you add your own photo.

Finding a move

Take a chest day as the worked example. Browsing by gear gives you the whole barbell list, adding the push filter cuts that down to pressing work, and adding chest leaves the few moves you had in mind. Filters stack in any order, and typing part of a name is faster when you already know what you want.

Building your own

Naming a move, picking its main muscles, and setting the gear takes about a minute. Your own move then behaves like a built-in one, so it turns up in search, feeds the muscle map, and counts toward your volume charts.

Two things make custom moves worth more than they sound. Odd machines are normal, because most gyms own a press or a row that no catalog anywhere describes well. A library that cannot hold your training also nudges you into logging the closest wrong thing, which then skews every chart downstream.

Form videos, one tap

Tapping a move opens a YouTube search for it, custom moves included, and you can point that search at a coach’s channel you trust. The built-in library stays offline, while opening YouTube reaches the network under YouTube’s own service and privacy terms.

Where the catalog stops

A built-in entry carries muscle data and short cues rather than a full coaching walkthrough, so it gives you a start instead of a lesson. Form images ship with some moves and not others, and adding your own photo is the Pro half of this page.

Free

The full catalog, the search, the filters, the muscle data, the form notes, and unlimited custom moves all cost nothing. Pro adds custom form photos and assisted sorting while you build a move. Whether 1,300+ is enough depends on how odd your gym is, which is why custom moves are free rather than a paid extra.
