Log exercises

Pick an exercise

Use Log Exercise to record strength sets or cardio, then track updates in History. When you tap + → Add exercise, the Recent tab lists the exercises you've logged, newest first; tap All for every exercise, grouped by body part. The search box searches whichever tab is open — if a recent search comes up empty, tap Search all exercises. An exercise you add yourself is private: only you see it. When your coach gives you a routine with one of their club's exercises, it shows up for you too, and if they added a video, tap Video under the exercise's name to watch it right there, over the exercise. Your sets stay as you left them; close the video (✕) to keep logging, or tap Open on YouTube for a bigger screen.

Enter your sets

1. Type the weight in the first set's box (in lb or kg, whichever you use).
2. Set the reps with − and +, or type them.
3. Use − and + beside Sets to add or remove a set. Last: shows what you did last time.
4. Tap Save Strength Exercise. It joins today's session.

Log cardio

1. Pick a cardio exercise, such as running or cycling.
2. Under Duration, type the minutes in Minutes and the seconds in Seconds. For 2 miles in 26 minutes 33 seconds, type 26 and 33. Leave Seconds empty for whole minutes; for under a minute, leave Minutes empty.
3. Add the distance and its unit if you have one. Pace, speed, Cardio Score and calories update as you type.
4. Tap Save Cardio Exercise.

Your time is kept to the second, so the session, History and the feed show it as you logged it, for example 26 min 33 s. Pace shows as minutes and seconds per mile or kilometre, for example 13:17 /mi.

Mark a set to failure or with a belt

Under each set are two buttons. Tap one to turn it on (it turns red) and tap it again to turn it off.

• Failure: you took the set to failure. Type the reps you completed; the app counts those and records that the next rep failed. A line under the set confirms it, for example Got 5, failed the next rep.
• Belt: you wore a lifting belt for that set.

Both show as small labels wherever you see that set later: Last:, the exercise's history, the day's session and the details of a saved exercise. An exercise you did with a belt also says Belt on its row in Exercise History.

Time your rest

1. Under your sets, pick how long to rest: 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 or Custom. It starts on 2:00 and then remembers the last length you picked on that phone or computer.
2. Custom shows −15s and +15s buttons for any length from 0:15 to 10:00.
3. Tap Start. The ring empties as your rest runs, and the same countdown shows at the top of your session after you save. Tap Skip to stop it early.

The rest timer is for rests between lifting sets, so saving cardio or a WOD never starts one. If a rest is already running when you save a lift, it keeps counting down instead of starting over.

At zero it shows Rest over and alerts you. On the website, allow notifications when asked; a locked phone's browser may not alert until you open it. The Android app alerts you even when it's closed.

Add a note to an exercise

1. To note how an exercise felt, tap Notes beside the save button — it opens a tray like leaving a comment on the feed.
2. Tap Done to keep the note (the × closes without keeping it).
3. The note is saved with the exercise when you tap Save, or Update when you are editing one.

Notes ✓ means the exercise already has a note.

Session time and total volume

The top of each session shows its Session time (from when you started its first exercise to when you saved its last) and its Total volume (weight × reps across its strength sets, in lb or kg).

Two workouts in one day

Workouts done close together are one session. When you save a workout more than 90 minutes after your last one that day, the app starts a new session for it and says so: New session started, 3h 45m after your last one. Tap Undo on that line to keep everything in one session.

Each session gets its own block in Log Exercise, newest at the top: its name (the time of day you started — Morning, Midday, Afternoon, Evening or Night — until you rename it), when it started and ended, its own session time and total volume, its exercises, and its own Log additional notes/photos and Share. A line between two sessions shows the break, such as 3h 45m break, and the top of the day adds them up: 2 sessions · 1h active. Each session is its own post on the feed.

Rename, merge or split a session

Tap ··· beside a session's name:

• Rename — give it a name such as Leg day. Leave it blank to go back to the time of day.
• Merge with … — put its exercises into the session next to it. The merged session keeps that session's name and sharing, and both sessions' photos.
• Split session… — pick the exercise a new session should start at; it and the ones after it move to the new session. Your comment and photos stay with the earlier part.

Your stats and next badge while you lift

Above your sets, one card shows how today compares and what you are working toward:

• Best e1RM: your estimated one-rep max from today's best set, updated as you type. Tap 1RM, 2RM, 3RM, 5RM or 10RM to see it as the weight you could lift for that many reps.
• Last 6 and Today: your average weight, volume and best e1RM over your last six sessions of that exercise (in gold) beside today's (in blue), with an arrow for the change. The workout you are editing is never compared with itself.
• Next badge: the badge you are closest to earning, how far you have to go and the badge you already hold. The ring beside your e1RM fills toward it. Today's sets count, so it can say Reached. Save to earn it before you save. Tap it to see every badge you have earned for that exercise.

Bodyweight exercises and timed holds skip the e1RM part. The library's standard exercises, including machine and cable variations such as Hack Squat, Pendulum Squat, Seated Calf Press and Lat Front Swing, each have their own badge ladder from Wood to Master. An exercise only you can see has no badges, and the card says so.

Actual and estimated PRs

When you beat your best for an exercise, it gets a gold PR badge in today's session and in History. There are two kinds:

• Actual PR: a solid gold PR with a purple check seal beside it. You lifted a heavier weight for one rep than you ever have on that exercise. Log it as a set of 1 rep. A best in reps, a longer hold, a longer distance or a better WOD score is an actual PR too, because it is what you did.
• Estimated PR: a dashed gold outline that says PR · Est. Your best estimated one-rep max (e1RM) went up, worked out from a set of 2 or more reps.

If one exercise sets both, you see the actual PR.
