Hi Connect IQ community,
I’m the developer of Gym Workout Tracker, a Connect IQ app built for people who want a practical strength-training workflow directly on their Garmin watch.
The idea is simple: your watch should do more than record a generic gym activity. It should help you follow the workout, log every set, manage rest, and preserve the session without forcing you to use your phone between exercises.
What Gym Workout Tracker offers
- Start a workout plan synced from GymApp, or choose Free Workout when you want to train without a fixed plan.
- Select exercises in any order instead of being forced through a strict sequence.
- Enter weight and repetitions separately for every set.
- Save a completed set immediately and automatically start the rest timer.
- Use movement and heart-rate signals to identify likely set boundaries, with an explicit confirmation step so the user stays in control.
- Undo mistakes and resume an active workout after an interruption.
- Preserve partial and longer workouts instead of losing the session when something interrupts it.
- Sync planned workouts to the watch and send completed workout data back to GymApp.
How is it different from Garmin’s built-in Strength activity?
Garmin’s built-in mode is useful for recording a strength activity. Gym Workout Tracker focuses on the structured logging workflow around that activity: synced plans, a full exercise-selection flow, flexible exercise order, per-set weight and reps, automatic rest guidance, recovery after interruption, and continuity with the wider GymApp experience.
It is intended for lifters who follow a program, people who change exercise order depending on equipment availability, and anyone who wants a useful set-by-set history without carrying a phone around the gym.

How you can help
I’d be very grateful if members of the Connect IQ community could test the app on different Garmin devices and during real strength workouts.
If you try Gym Workout Tracker, please:
- Leave an honest review and rating in the Connect IQ Store.
- Mention your Garmin model and the type of strength workout you performed.
- Report any bugs, crashes, confusing screens, synchronization problems, or incorrect behavior you notice.

Every honest review, rating, bug report, and suggestion helps me understand what works well and what should be improved next. Thank you very much for testing the app, taking the time to share your experience, and helping me make Gym Workout Tracker better for the Garmin community!
