# init(workoutName:goalValue:workoutGoalUnitType:workoutLocationType:isOpenEnded:)

Initializes an intent object with the specified workout information.

## Declaration

```swift
@nonobjc convenience init(workoutName: INSpeakableString? = nil, goalValue: Double? = nil, workoutGoalUnitType: INWorkoutGoalUnitType = .unknown, workoutLocationType: INWorkoutLocationType = .unknown, isOpenEnded: Bool? = nil)
```

## Parameters

- `workoutName`: The name of the workout. This string can contain a custom workout name, a user-specific workout name, or one of the workout names defined in your app’s global vocabulary file.
- `goalValue`: The numerical portion of the user’s goal. This parameter works in conjunction with the workoutGoalUnitType parameter to define the user’s workout goal.
- `workoutGoalUnitType`: The units to apply to the goalValue parameter.
- `workoutLocationType`: The workout location.
- `isOpenEnded`: A Boolean indicating whether the workout ends when the specified goal is met. Specify false if the workout should end when the specified goal is met.

## Return Value

Return Value An initialized intent object or nil if the object could not be created.

## Discussion

Discussion Typically, you don’t create instances of the INStartWorkoutIntent class yourself. Siri creates instances when the user asks to start a workout. However, you can use this method during testing to create intent objects that validate your intent handling code paths.
