How to log a strength training workout

Three steps, from the first set to the summary.

  1. Pick your workout

    Start one of the 113 ready-made workouts, 41 of them free, or build your own from 500 exercises.

  2. Log each set

    In Manual mode, a few taps are enough. On your wrist, you set the weight and reps with the Digital Crown.

  3. See your progress

    The recap sums up your session, shareable as an image, and your statistics update.

Log every set without breaking your rhythm

Between sets you have a bar to reload, not a form to fill in. Your session stays in front of you, and you get back to the effort.

Your session is ready. Your weights too.
