Strength training tracking

Former Member
Former Member
Hello everyone!

I would like to know if it's possible to track gym trainings without tracking every single set?
I use the set tracking option only for bench/squat, but I would like the whole session to count as an activity (mainly because of calories burnt).

Thanks!

    What do you mean by tracking the whole session as an activity? It already does that regardless of how many sets or reps are performed. Maybe I don't understand your question.

    Recording the activity without recording reps within every single set. I would like to just start the activity when I enter the gym and stop it when I leave the gym. I don't want to record all the sets.

    Sorry, but I still don't think I understand. Do you mean record sets and reps for bench and squats and then continue on to something like an elliptical? Or record your bench and squats, but not curls, flys, etc?

    I understand what your saying. On my vivosmart, i had a activity called other.
    On VA3 i have copied the activity called endurance, and made it the way i want.
    Dont know if this is the best fit tbh.

    I use it when bouldering / climbing, and gym workouts.

    It tracks calories, HR zone, time, hr, and shows me what time it is.
    Its allright. Feels wierd they didnt add a activity like the one vivosmart had.

    Is it possible to rename it to something like "gym" or "workout"?
    That would be exactly what I want.

    The VA3 already has the "other" app. The VA3 doesn't have the capability to custom name apps. If the OP is looking for an app that records sets and reps for exercises in addition to adding other exercises outside the "Strength" or weights type workout, I may be able to assist, but it isn't clear to me exactly what they are looking for. It sounds like a multisport app, but I'm not certain.

    I'm just looking to log my workout without logging my sets/reps. Only time, heart rate and calories.
    If I want to log for example a few sets of bench press I can just launch the main gym app.
