Edit Reps, Sets, and Weight

Within any workout (whether it is a current workout or logged past workout), you can edit the displayed reps, sets, and weight for any given exercise.

To edit reps on iOS and Android

1. Select exercise
2. Select number indicated as REPS
3. Use keypad to edit

Important Note:

When entering high number digits (>29), the app will auto-fill this number to a single digit. For example, if you try to input 30 reps, the app will auto-fill the value to 3. This happens because the app is trying to predict the number you are trying to input. When the app auto-fills, it will auto-select the weight window (to the right). By tapping back into the reps window and ensuring the text cursor is behind the current reps digit, you will be able to add additional digits.

To add a set (Warm-Up or Working) on iOS

1. Select exercise
2. + Add (Warm-Up/Working) Set (may need to scroll down)

To add a set (Working) on Android
