You might see from the post above that Zwift did consider/was working on a Favorites facility for workouts back in October 2022. Hopefully this is still on their agenda as I sure there is a demand.
I probably shouldn’t put an easy workaround solution into a Feature Request thread but to me it seems logical to put a solution here. The moderators can move this to its own thread if they feel it appropriate.
PLEASE do read on - I know I generally write far to much but the reading of this possible solution will almost take longer to do than the time taken to save your workouts in very easy to find folders.
Zwift already has a fairly easy to use Custom Workouts folder. I don’t see that this word Custom means for workouts you have created or customised. I take it to mean that you can customise this folder to make finding workouts (be that existing, customised or created) much easier.
To put any existing workout into your Custom Workouts folder you don’t need to create it or customise it you just need to save it before choosing to do the workout. Probably easier to delete it later from your custom workouts if you don’t like it than return to try and find it and save it if you do like it. [You can always save it later if you prefer - and can find it again !]
At the time of saving it just Tag Your Workout with a word which indicates to you that this is a workout you are using for the first time. Let’s use the word ‘anything’. This word ‘anything’ will create a sub folder under the Browse By Tags subfolder. After you have completed your workout you can go back into your Custom Workouts and either delete it or re Tag it with more appropriate folder name ( or names if you wish to save it under more than one folder.
Every different Tag word you use will create its own subfolder. Tag words are case sensitive so Test and test are two different subfolders. You can’t have multiple word subfolders using more than one word but you can of course join the words, ie Hard-Workouts.
Three easy steps taking less than 15-20 seconds before you start your workout and the workout is now easily findable within your own Custom Workouts subfolders.
If you use two (or more) of your regular Tag words it will put the workout in both (or all as appropriate) of the relevant sub folders.
If in the future you wish to delete it from one of the specific sub folders ensure you open it and delete only the appropriate Tag word or it will be delete from all sub folders.
You also have the ability to quickly tag any workout with one, or more, of Zwift’s preset tags - Recovery, Intervals, FTP or TT. [ if Zwift do nothing else to provide the Favorites facility shown in my post above then I suggest they at least add FAVORITES here or at worst change, say, FTP to FAVORITES.]
Below the list of Browse By Tags subfolders you will find all of the workouts you have saved to your Custom Workouts. Be careful not to delete any of these you wish to keep as they will then be deleted from within the sub folders they are linked to.
All those workouts you have saved to your Custom Workouts folder can of course also be searched by the DURATION and EFFORT search options provided by Zwift.
I’m not saying at all that this possible solution replaces the Feature Request of a Zwift workout Favorites facility but hope it offers a solution for some users until Zwift implement as requested.
