How to Log Strength Workouts to Apple Health

Your training deserves to close rings too.

If your session lives in your head (or a notebook), it never counts toward your activity trends, your training load, or your rings.

What gets logged

With the Pro upgrade, What's My Set can optionally save every completed workout to Apple Health with:

DataiPhone / iPadApple Watch
Workout duration
Workout type
Heart rateNo✓ (live during the workout)
Energy burnedNo

How to set it up

  1. Download What's My Set on iPhone (and its Apple Watch app installs alongside).
  2. Turn on Health logging in the app's settings (part of the Pro upgrade) and grant Health access when asked. Logging is opt-in; nothing is recorded until you say so.
  3. Train as usual. Count sets, run rest timers, and/or do your Tabata/EMOM intervals.
  4. End the workout. The session is saved to Apple Health. Wear your Apple Watch and you'll have the option to see live heart rate during the workout, plus heart rate and energy burned can be saved to Apple Health.

Run the workout from your wrist and the saved Health log gains heart rate and energy burned.

The privacy part (it's short)

Your workout data goes to Apple Health on your device and nowhere else.
