How Your Move compares

White-background videos for a consistent app look

Most APIs ship unprofessional clips or only GIFs. We give real, professionally filmed videos on clean white and gym backgrounds, side by side with the alternatives.

*A few gym-machine exercises aren't available in white background yet. We're working hard to add them soon; for now those ship with a gym background.

Exercise API FAQ

Questions, answered

What is an exercise database API?

An exercise database API gives your app programmatic access to a structured library of exercises: names, muscle groups, equipment, difficulty, instructions and videos. You query it over REST and render the results directly in your fitness app.

How many exercises does the API include?

The library includes 1,021+ exercises, each with a professional white-background HD video, thumbnails, step-by-step instructions and muscle data, covering 12 muscle groups plus yoga poses.

Do the exercises include videos and instructions?

Yes. Every exercise ships with an HD video over HLS streaming, thumbnails, written instructions, and primary and secondary muscle information.

Can the API also generate workouts and training programs?

Yes. Beyond the exercise database, the API generates complete workouts by muscle group, equipment and difficulty, and builds multi-week training programs for muscle building, weight loss, strength and endurance.

How is this different from ExerciseDB or wger?

Your Move is the only exercise API in this comparison with professional HD videos on every exercise, plus workout generation, program building and AI posture analysis. See the comparison table above for a feature-by-feature breakdown.
