What's New in PepCoach 1.6.22 - Smarter Auto Detect: Improved AI exercise recognition powered by our upgraded R2 model. - Better Squat Tracking: Improved automatic rep counting to prevent missed reps and stalled counts. - Faster Exercise Recognition: Helps identify exercises sooner without manually selecting them. - More Accurate Rep Counting: Improved tracking for squats, bench press, pull-ups, and other strength exercises. - Smoother Workout Experience: Improvements to set detection, rest transitions, and workout tracking. - Performance & Stability: Optimized our AI model for Apple Watch, with additional bug fixes and reliability improvements.

There have been updates made to the live workout experience on the watch and phone app including: bench press, deadlifts, and pull ups for classifier and rep counter to increase accuracy and the speed of identification.

There have been updates made to the accuracy and recognition of the 12 core exercises.

Updates made to rep counting and auto detection.

Apple Watch improvements: • **Lock In stays available** when PepCoach gives you two exercise choices, so you can still choose a different exercise if neither suggestion is right. • **Rest now shows what’s next.** During rest, you’ll see the next exercise (for example, “Next: Squats”) before confirming and starting your next set. No changes to Auto Detect or exercise recognition in this update.

New Hevy API Sync and Hevy Analytics/Insights - 1) For Hevy Pro User: Sync 2) Hevy Free Tier Users: Analytics/Insights

Unnamed Detecting sets can split when the wrist leaves the lifting pose, instead of one long Tracking blob. The short pause no longer sticks the count on a couple of reps, and unnamed Rest no longer disarms the next set.

Apple Watch workouts should stay with you through the set, then move to rest when you stop. A set is less likely to end while you are still lifting. Lateral raises should finish and go to rest instead of sitting on the lifting screen. Rest no longer shows Unknown Exercise when the exercise name is not locked. Rest is shorter and clearer, and Start Next Set is easier to see. A workout cut off by a Watch restart is less likely to show up as a very long Apple Health session.

Smarter hands-free workouts. Start a set, lift, and let your Apple Watch do the counting. This is our best Auto Detect yet — it now recognizes and counts a wider range of exercises automatically, no taps required. • Auto Detect now covers Squats, Bench Press, Push-ups, Dumbbell Chest Fly, Curls, and Sit-ups • Faster, more accurate rep counting • Pick your exercise mid-set if we get it wrong — one tap and it re-locks • Cleaner Watch workout screen More exercises coming soon. Keep the feedback coming — it makes Coach smarter.

What’s New (user-facing) Auto Lift is simpler on Apple Watch We rebuilt the workout screen so it’s easier to use in the gym: Step 1 — Lock your lift Do a few reps, then tap the big green “TAP TO LOCK IN” button when we show the right exercise. Step 2 — Finish your set Keep lifting. When you’re done, tap DONE in the top right. Also in this update: Clearer Home and All Lifts tabs on Watch Smoother scrolling with the Digital Crown Wrong exercise? — tap to pick the correct lift (list stays hidden until you need it) + / − rep buttons stay easy to reach Fixes for set saving and exercise switching during Auto Lift

Update: AUTO LIFT We have made a significant expansion to auto-detection/auto-lift. Your Watch counts reps automatically for these 12 exercises: - Squats - Deadlifts - Bench Press - Overhead Press - Bicep Curls - Dumbbell Chest Fly - Lateral Raises - Pull-ups - Push-ups - Lat Pulldown - Dumbbell Rows - Sit-ups / Crunches No more tapping after every rep. Strap on, start lifting, watch the counter go up. The new live guess banner tells you what Auto Lift sees in real time: DETECTING -> tentative name -> GOLD LOCKED For ANY other exercise (Lunges, Burpees, Jumping Jacks, etc.) - tap +/- to count manually. Works as a guided workout either way. PLEASE TEST 1. Open PepCoach on your Watch -> tap AUTO LIFT (gold tile at top) 2. Pick a few exercises from the 12 above - actually lift, count what you really do, see how close Auto Lift gets 3. Try Bench Press AND Overhead Press in separate sets - confirm each commits to the correct name (we fixed a confusion bug here) ALSO TRY BROWSE - swipe right or tap BROWSE tile, search any exercise, favorite anything you love. SEND TO WATCH - build a workout on your iPhone, tap "Send to Watch", it appears as FROM PHONE on your wrist.

v1.5.9 (B237) — rep counter unblocked + freeze fixes WHAT'S NEW • Rep counter now works for EVERY exercise. Curls, Lateral Raises, Crunches, Sit-ups, Overhead Press, Kettlebell Swings, Chest Fly, and all the compounds — auto-counting now lives across the whole app, not just Squat/Bench/Deadlift via Auto Detect. • Watch no longer freezes when upload fails on bad Wi-Fi. • Overhead Press guided workouts no longer crash on Done Set. • "Install PepCoach on Watch" prompt now shows clearer copy with step-by-step install instructions. • Sign in with iPhone on Watch is faster (retry loop + auto-pair). • Login page on iPhone pre-fills your username (no more typing email). • Cleaner Watch home — focused on the lifts that actually work. • Cleaner iPhone dashboard. PLEASE TEST 1. Open any exercise via Auto Lift, Motion Starters, or a workout plan. Reps should auto-count whether you're doing Curls, Lateral Raises, Sit-ups, anything. No more "rep counter doesn't work on this exercise." 2. Start a workout, turn OFF your Wi-Fi mid-set (or go to the gym basement where signal is weak), do reps, tap Done Set, End Workout. The app should STAY responsive. Pending uploads queue to your Watch's storage and drain when network returns. 3. Overhead Press from a guided workout plan → do reps → Done Set. App should not crash. Watch should not go black. 4. Sign in with iPhone on Watch: should be a single tap from a fresh install, no 6-digit code typing. 5. iPhone dashboard refresh — your dashboard should feel calmer: one row of 3 hero tiles, no aura color picker, no Hero/Classic toggle clutter. KNOWN ISSUES (don't report — already on the list) • Squat may count a "ghost rep" before you actually start your first squat. The detector picks up un-rack/walkout motion. We're fixing this with a smarter motion-start detection in the next build. • Classifier label on the Watch may show "Tracking…" for non-compound exercises (Curls, Lateral, Fly). Rep count still works correctly; the label just doesn't lock confidently for those yet. REPORT ANYTHING ELSE support@pepcoach.ai or reply to this TestFlight invite. Detailed reports (what exercise, what tile, what you tapped) are gold. — Jonathan

Plan on iPhone. Lift on Apple Watch. • Build your own workout in seconds — name it, add exercises, set reps + weight, save. • Send any workout to your Watch with one tap. Multiple workouts now stack on the Watch home screen instead of overwriting each other. • Fix typos in your personal records — edit weight, reps, and notes inline on any PR. • Smoother login: email is now case-insensitive. Thanks to our Founding Lifters for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Rep counter updates in real-time during your set (was sometimes catching up after you stopped lifting) • Live "LOOKS LIKE [exercise]" chip — if you start a session with one label but actually do a different compound, the watch detects it after a few reps and offers a one-tap switch (no Done Set ritual needed) • Weight chip on the active workout screen — tap to set/edit weight inline, just under the rep digit •

1.5.2 — improved data, cleaner Auto Detect
