Hi community.
This post might be TLDR, but I hope someone will find it useful and maybe Garmin will address this in both GC and Web version.
I have tested this on my FR955 with GC on Android and Web app.
We all knows that animated workouts are by design only limited to those "pre-programmed" https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=IPD6X8JSLBAUQOXvz7zBO6
I think there is workaround to have Custom workouts with your preferred set of exercises. Well big number of those, not all of them available.
All you have to do is to Duplicate one of pre-programmed workouts and edit it.
Not all exercises has animation on FR955 (not sure which exists on other compatible watches). Here is a list of those related to Strength activity:

There are 111 of those.
You can add Rounds and other non animated actions like Warm-Up or Cool-Down
There are also animated exercises for HIIT, Pilates, Yoga and Cardio, but I will leave this to your intelligence to discover this.
I have no idea why Garmin is not allowing us to create Custom workouts with animation from scratch.
But I have no expectation to have animation of every possible exercise. Those 111 are good enough for most of us.
Garmin-Sierra Garmin-Kevin could you confirm / deny this procedure will stay in the future?
