Hello,
I created a gym workout that has consisted of the weight machine circuit and some free weight training. When I attempted to add the Hip Adductor and the Hip Abductor machine it would not add it. Is there a way to add these weight machines?
You can add a custom exercise in the strength trainer
Yes I am aware of that but when i atrempt to add hip abductor/ Hip abductor it will not list it. So that’s what I am asking. Can they add this option to the customized list? I had another experience by putting in another exercise machine at planet fitness and it will not add it either.

For the hip abductor machine, the correct comparable exercise in Whoop is called “Glute Abductor Machine.” It targets the same muscles (the gluteus medius and minimus) which are your hip abductors.
Here’s how I set it up in my own app (see screenshot):
Name: “Hip Abductor”
Linked to: Glute Abductor Machine
Equipment: Machine
Muscle Group: Legs
Once it’s saved, you can add it to any of your Strength Trainer workouts and it will track muscular load just like the preset movements.
