How to save workout videos from Instagram and TikTok
Short answer
To save workout videos from Instagram and TikTok in one place, share each video to a single app that reads the exercise, muscle group and cues, rather than leaving them in two Saved tabs. Restash does this on iPhone: it files workout videos in a Gym workspace, tags them by exercise and body part, and can turn them into a routine.
The perfect hip-thrust cue is in your Saved folder. You are standing at the bench without it.

Download on the App StoreWhat goes wrong with saved workouts
- Fitness videos are split between Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
- Thumbnails all look the same: a person, a gym, some text.
- You cannot search “glutes” or “no equipment” inside Saved.
- Individual exercises never become an actual plan.
How to save them properly
- Tap Share on the workout video and choose Restash.
- Save it to your Gym workspace.
- Restash reads the exercise, target muscles and coaching cues from the video.
- At the gym, search “shoulders” or “cable” to pull up the right demo.
What to save (and what to skip)
- Save: form cues, exercise variations, full programs from coaches you trust, mobility routines.
- Skip: motivational clips and physique posts you will never train from.
