Exporting Your Data from IRONSLOG
IRONSLOG exports your plan, your full logged workout history, and your body measurements to three separate CSV export files from Settings, plus a single-plan export from the plan screen. Every export is a real download you control — nothing is locked into the app.
What are the three exports, and what does each contain?
From Settings: a plan export (every exercise, sets, reps, weight and week override in your active plan), a history export (every logged set from every completed session), and a measurements export (every logged body measurement by date). The plan screen also offers a per-plan export for any single saved plan.
Is a plan export re-importable, or is it read-only?
A plan CSV can be re-imported to recreate the plan — including week overrides, supersets and target RPE — so it’s a real backup and portability format, not just a read-only record. Logs and measurements are export-only; they aren’t re-imported.
Does the CSV format work correctly in Excel?
Yes — exported CSV files include a UTF-8 byte-order mark specifically so Excel detects the encoding correctly and doesn’t mangle non-ASCII characters (relevant for Indian food names in a nutrition-adjacent export, and for any custom exercise names with special characters).
| Export | From | Re-importable? |
|---|---|---|
| Plan | Settings, or a single plan from the plan screen | Yes |
| Workout history (logs) | Settings | No — export only |
| Body measurements | Settings | No — export only |
Key takeaways
- Plans, logs and measurements each export as a separate CSV file from Settings.
- A plan CSV round-trips: export then re-import reproduces the same plan, including overrides.
- Logs and measurements exports are for backup and analysis — not re-imported.
- Exports include a UTF-8 byte-order mark so Excel reads special characters correctly.
