You cannot create new workout categories in the Fitness app. Only the built‑in workout types can be used.

Open Fitness ➡️ + ➡️ choose from the existing workout list only.

Custom workout categories are not supported on iPhone or Apple Watch.


Furthermore, You can suggest this feature directly to Apple by leaving a product feedback here 👉Product Feedback - Apple
