Summary

  • Today’s SmartGym update brings Apple Watch-style workout logging to the iPhone, letting users adjust reps and weight, log sets, and add sets without leaving one screen.
  • The new Inline Logging view also shows planned reps and weight beside completed sets and starts the rest timer immediately after a set is logged.
  • A rebuilt in-workout keyboard adds quick controls to raise or lower values and switch set types, including regular, warm-up, and drop sets.
  • SmartGym also redesigned its Smart Action Button to predict the next step—such as Log Set + Start Rest, Next Exercise, or End Workout—and users can map it to the iPhone’s physical Action Button.
