How do you add an ad-hoc exercise in a custom workout

I see where Ryan has asked this before so I guess this is just another request to add a free-text option in the web control of the UI showing the list of exercises in Garmin Connect.

PLEASE add custom exercise names - fēnix 5 series - Wearables - Garmin Forums

I also see that there is an app called Gym Genius which looks like an over kill for what I need. That app also doesn't look like it would integrate into the workouts one can create in Garmin's Connect website under Training.

Has anyone used this app if so what is your opinion of it? The only post I saw was a person which said they are going back to the method in Garmin Connect to create workouts. 

I don't need a video of the exercise, I can find this elsewhere. I also don't need an custom health stats. All I want is to be able to add a step where I am able to name the exercise in  Garmin's Custom workout page specifying the name of the exercise (highlighted in red)

  • I've been using Garmin's Product Suggestion website for nearly two years now on this issue.  So, far it's fallen on deaf ears. This isn't just a problem with custom workouts, but Garmin's limited exercise list when using the strength app too.  I actually use the Gym Genius app so I can create workouts and see what the next exercise is, but it doesn't record those exercises in GCM either.  I find the subscription worth it as I do quite a few TRX workouts and I think Garmin list 4 exercises out of the 40+ I can do.
