How to Install WorkoutGen on iPhone, Android, and Desktop

WorkoutGen Guides

Quick Installation Guide

You can install WorkoutGen on your iPhone, Android device, or desktop computer in less than a minute directly from your web browser. Because WorkoutGen is a Progressive Web App (PWA), you do not need to download it from an app store. Simply open the web app in your browser and add it to your home screen to start your fitness journey immediately.

To get started quickly, follow these three essential steps:

• Open WorkoutGen in your default mobile or desktop browser.
• Follow the browser-specific install action shown in the instructions below.
• Confirm that the WorkoutGen icon appears on your home screen and opens the web application.

Is It Safe to Install WorkoutGen?

Installing WorkoutGen is completely safe and does not involve downloading risky files. It utilizes Progressive Web App technology, which is a standard feature built directly into trusted browsers like Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge. The same technology powers the web applications of major platforms such as Spotify, Uber, and Pinterest.

Here is what this technology means for your device:

• No app store downloads: You do not need to manage accounts or accept extra permissions.
• Secure by default: WorkoutGen loads exclusively over HTTPS, using the same encrypted connection as secure banking websites.
• Automatic updates: Improvements and new features load automatically without requiring manual updates.
• Easy removal: You can uninstall the app at any time by long-pressing the icon and selecting delete.
• Cross-device compatibility: The same installation process works seamlessly across phones, tablets, and desktop computers.

Troubleshooting Common Installation Issues

If you cannot find the installation option, use these decision rules to resolve the issue:

• Are you using an in-app browser? If you opened the link from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Gmail, the built-in browser will hide installation menus. Tap the browser options icon and select Open in Browser to load the page in Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android) before installing.
• Is the Add to Home Screen option missing on iOS? Scroll to the bottom of the Safari share sheet, tap Edit Actions, and ensure the option is enabled.
• Are you using an older iPhone? Ensure your device is updated to iOS 16.4 or later to support installation from third-party browsers like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Otherwise, use Safari.

Once installed, tap the WorkoutGen icon on your home screen to launch your plan. You can access this guide at any time within the app by navigating to Settings, selecting Tutorials, and tapping How to install the app.
