Repport's Upload Workout Plan screen with Image selected and the 28-day challenge grid added as one photo — Format set to Image, the challenge grid added as a single photo.

Repport's Plan Name screen with "28 days fat loss" typed in — Naming the plan before the parse runs.

Repport's processing screen reading "Turning your plan into a clean log" with a progress dial and a "Detecting workout days" step — The parse in progress. Start to finish it took about 35 seconds.

Repport's Plan Ready screen showing 102 sets detected, 24 training sessions, and Instant ready-to-log — 102 sets, 24 sessions, from a 28-day grid.

Repport's review screen showing Day 5 as a "Treat Yourself To A ReBoot Reward" rest note, and Days 6 and 7 as three exercises at 1 set of 10 — The four reward days were read as rest, not logged as workouts.

Repport's review screen on Cycle 3, Week 3, showing five exercises at 1 set of 20 and a footer reading "7 days, 30 exercises" — Week 3 as parsed, five movements at 1 set of 20 each.

The whole run, unedited, about a minute and a half, adding the image, naming the plan, the roughly 35-second parse, then scrolling the result.

You find a 28-day challenge on Pinterest or a fitness blog. It is one image: a grid of numbered days, rep counts that climb from 10 to 25 over four weeks, four “reward” days mixed in. Good to look at. Not something you can track set by set without copying all of it out first.

Repport read the whole grid from that one image in about 35 seconds. Below is the exact file that went in, the full screen recording, and every number it produced.

A workout plan image: the 28-day challenge grid, exactly as it was imported, 28 numbered days in a seven-column layout with four "Treat Yourself To A ReBoot Reward" days.

Can an App Make a Workout Plan From an Image?

Yes. Repport reads a photo or screenshot of a plan and turns it into a structured, trackable workout, with no retyping. This page is one run of exactly that: a 28-day bodyweight challenge that existed only as the image above, imported in about 35 seconds.

What Repport Got Right

The numbers came straight off the image, read cell by cell. The four “ReBoot Reward” days (5, 12, 19 and 26) were treated as rest, which is why 28 days on the page become 24 trackable sessions.

Week	Sessions	Movements per day	Target	Sets
1	6	3: Push-ups, Squats or Squat Jumps, Sweeping Scissors	1 × 10	18
2	6	4: adds Walking Lunges	1 × 15	24
3	6	5: adds Army Crawl	1 × 20	30
4	6	5	1 × 25	30
Total	24			102

That is 102 sets, matching the summary screen. Names were tidied on the way in: “10 Push Ups” became “Push-ups”, and the count in front of “20 Army Crawl” moved off the name and into the set. Every session opened ready to log, with nothing to correct before saving.

Now Picture Typing This In by Hand

Strong and Hevy are built for creating routines, so this challenge goes in the way you would build any routine: 24 separate days, every exercise picked from a list, reps set one line at a time, and the reward days sorted out yourself. That is solid minutes of selecting and organising before the first rep.

Repport did the same job from a single screenshot in about 35 seconds, and the review screen showed a finished plan instead of a blank one to fill.

What This Does Not Do

Repport logged this challenge the way it is written: one set per exercise, the rep count from the grid. That is right for a rep challenge. It does not invent sets, rest times, or loads the source does not contain. A screenshot of a heavier program with sets, reps and percentages carries that detail through; a bodyweight challenge like this one does not have it to carry.

It also does not judge the plan. Whether a 28-day challenge like this is worth your time is your call. The job here was to make it loggable without retyping it.

For the step-by-step version, not tied to this image, see how to import a workout plan from a screenshot, and the workout plan parser covers the other formats the same pipeline reads. Once a plan is logged, exporting your progress to PDF shows the way back out.

FAQ

Common questions

Is there an app that makes a workout plan from an image?

Yes. Repport takes a photo or screenshot of a plan and turns it into a structured, trackable workout with no retyping. In this run it read a 28-day challenge from a single image in about 35 seconds and produced 24 sessions and 102 sets.

Can Repport import a workout plan from a picture?

Yes. A photo or a screenshot works, one image or several. This run used a single image of a 28-day challenge grid and the parse took about 35 seconds on an iPhone 17 Pro.

Does the image need to be cropped or high resolution?

No cropping was needed here, the whole grid was in frame. Legible text matters more than resolution. A blurry or angled photo is where misreads happen, and the review screen exists to catch them before you save.

What happens to rest or reward days in a challenge?

They are read as rest and left out of the session count. This plan showed 28 days on the page. Repport created 24 trackable sessions and skipped the four "ReBoot Reward" days.

Can I change what it parsed before it is saved?

Yes. The review screen lists every day and every exercise with an edit control. Nothing is written to your training history until you tap Keep my plan.
