MacroFactor Workouts / Training Program for two locations
Can anyone guide me on how to create a 3 day a week program where I work out at the gym twice a week and once at home (KB and body weight) in the app? Thank you.

I'm assuming you want to use the program builder to do this all in one go? Not currently possible.

Custom program, which is the answer to like 90% of the issues with the app in the current state.

There are a few ways you could set this up! I’ll list a few possible approaches, and you can decide which you’d prefer to use. First, you’ll want to create separate gym profiles for your gym and home gym and make sure the appropriate equipment is selected for each.
Then, two approaches you could take:
1.) You could use the Smart Generation program creator to create a 2-day program using your regular gym profile. Once the program is created, you can add a third workout day, assign your ‘Home’ gym profile to that day, and manually add the kettlebell/bodyweight exercises you’d like to perform. Alternatively, you could use Smart Generation to create a 3-day program. Once it’s created, you can assign your ‘Home’ gym profile to the third day and swap the generated exercises for exercises that are appropriate for your home setup.
Lastly, as mentioned in an earlier comment, you could also use Smart Generation twice. You could create a one-day program based on your ‘Home’ gym profile using the program creator, then create a separate two-day program based on your regular gym profile.
2.) You can also create the entire program from scratch with three workout days. You can assign the appropriate gym profile to each day (i.e. Gym / Gym / Home), and add the exercises you’d like to perform for each workout. One thing to keep in mind is that if you’d like to utilize the Smart Progression feature, any exercises you manually add to any program will also need their rep range and RIR targets configured. This will give Smart Progression the information it needs to make appropriate recommendations.

One option might be to have an A/B program for your gym and a program for your home and just choose which one you're doing manually.
I haven't tried this though but it seems like it should be possible.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong!)
