Working Sets has had a substantial refresh since the last release. Recovery is now part of the main experience, with a dedicated readiness score, training-load context, muscle recovery tracking, personalised baselines, and clearer guidance about how hard to train today. HealthKit data now feeds into those decisions more reliably, including sleep, heart-rate variability, resting heart rate, body composition, and workout trends. The app’s on-device coaching has also grown up. You’ll see shorter, more useful observations in the places where a decision needs to be made, along with smarter set recommendations that consider recent performance, fatigue, recovery, difficulty, and your available weight increments. Workouts are easier to plan and follow. Calendar handling, scheduled workouts, recent sessions, workout summaries, exercise history, and template navigation have all been refined. Live Activities are more reliable too, including completing sets from the Lock Screen and keeping workout state intact when the app moves into the background. A lot of work has gone into the details: faster screens, more resilient saving, improved accessibility, better support for Dynamic Type, clearer controls during a workout, and a calmer visual hierarchy throughout the app. Working Sets should feel more like a quiet training partner now: aware of your recent work, honest about your recovery, and ready when you are.

Bug fixes

This update brings a big round of performance improvements and polish across the app. During a workout, you will now see a toast notification when you hit a personal record on any exercise. The app tracks weight, volume, and rep PRs for your working sets and celebrates them in the moment. A new Coach's Take card surfaces after you complete exercises during Premium workouts. It generates a one-line insight about your effort and progress without you having to leave the session. Adding exercises to a workout has been redesigned. Recent exercises appear as quick picks, and you can configure sets and reps before adding an exercise rather than after. The workout summary is now significantly faster to scroll through and more responsive when typing notes. The Live Activity and Apple Watch companion have been made more reliable, especially when switching between background and foreground during long sessions. Weekly commitment streaks now carry over week to week and celebrate milestones when you hit your goal. Various performance improvements throughout, including faster loading of the template list and the workout history calendar.

It's the fastest way to log your lifts. • Pull to refresh — Swipe down anytime to manually sync your workout if needed.
