How Can
We Help?

Apex Workouts is a comprehensive personal fitness tracking app for iOS. It lets you build custom workout templates, schedule sessions, log your sets and reps, track progress over time, set personal goals, and receive AI-powered coaching — all in one place.

Navigate to the Workouts tab and tap the + button to create a new workout scheme. Give it a name and description, then add exercises from the built-in library (which includes 1,000+ exercises). Configure the sets, reps, weight targets, and logging method for each exercise, then save. Your workout is now ready to use.

A workout scheme is a reusable template — the blueprint for a workout. It defines which exercises you will do, in what order, and with what targets. When you actually perform the workout, a separate session record is created so your history is always preserved.

The app ships with over 1,000 pre-loaded exercises spanning strength training, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, cardio, plyometrics, stretching, and more.

Yes. From the exercise library you can create a fully custom exercise, specifying its name, category, primary and secondary muscle groups, equipment, difficulty level, and which logging methods it supports.

Apex Workouts supports seven ways to log a set, so every type of training is covered:

The app tracks 17 muscle groups across the full body: chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, forearms, lats, middle back, traps, neck, abdominals, lower back, quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves, abductors, and adductors.

Go to the Schedule tab and tap a date on the calendar, or tap the + button to create a new scheduled event. Select the workout scheme, choose a date and time, and save.

Yes. When scheduling a workout you can configure a recurrence rule — daily, weekly on specific days, or monthly. Apex handles all future occurrences automatically.

You can exclude individual dates from a recurring series without affecting the rest. Each occurrence can also be edited independently.

Yes. Apex Workouts integrates with EventKit and can sync your scheduled workouts to the built-in iOS Calendar app. You can enable or disable this in Settings.

The Progress tab and the Workouts tab both surface your history. You can view recent sessions, drill into individual session details (sets, reps, notes), and see volume and duration trends over time.

Volume for a set is calculated as weight × reps. Total session volume is the sum of all sets logged in that session.

The Progress tab includes charts for:

• Strength exercises — weight and volume over time per exercise
• Cardio exercises — distance and duration trends
• Body metrics — weight, body fat %, muscle mass %, and BMI

A PR is automatically tracked for each exercise. Whenever you log a new best (highest weight, longest distance, etc.), the record is updated. PRs are also surfaced as a widget on the Dashboard and can be the target of a Personal Goal.

There are five goal types:

When a goal's deadline passes without completion, it moves to an expired state. You will be prompted to review it and can choose to retry — which creates a new attempt window — or archive it.

Progress is represented as a normalised value from 0 to 100%. The app evaluates all active goals regularly and updates progress based on your latest workout data, body metrics, and records.

Yes. The Dashboard is built from a configurable grid of widgets. Open Dashboard Settings to add, remove, resize, or reorder widgets.

• Workout Sessions count
• Total Volume
• Average Workout Duration
• Personal Records
• Personal Goals progress
• Achievements
• Body Weight trend
• Body Fat % trend

Each widget supports multiple sizes (small, medium, large, extra large) and can be set to display as a block stat or a sparkline graph. You can also choose an accent colour and the time period for comparisons.

Axel is the built-in AI fitness coach in Apex Workouts. It is powered by Apple's on-device Foundation Models, meaning all processing happens locally on your device — your data never leaves your phone.

Axel is aware of your actual workout data, goals, exercises, and body metrics. You can ask it questions like:

• "Which muscle groups have I been neglecting?"
• "Suggest a progression plan for my bench press."
• "How has my total volume changed over the past month?"
• "What exercises target my hamstrings?"

Axel can also offer general fitness advice and motivation.

Axel requires Apple Intelligence, which is available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 series, and M-series iPads running a supported OS version.

No. Axel uses on-device inference via Apple's Foundation Models framework. Your personal fitness data never leaves your device.

There are four notification types, each of which can be individually enabled or disabled in Settings:

No. Notification messages are generated by the on-device AI so they are contextual and varied, referencing your specific training patterns and goals rather than sending the same generic text every time.

Yes. Workout reminder notifications include a Start Workout action button that deep-links you directly to the relevant workout in the Schedule tab.

You can log weight, body fat %, muscle mass %, and BMI. Each entry is timestamped so trends are visualised over time on the Progress tab.

Yes. With your permission, Apex Workouts can read weight data from HealthKit and use it to keep your body metrics up to date automatically.

Yes. Apex Workouts includes a gamified achievement system with achievements across seven categories: Getting Started, Strength & PR, Cardio & Endurance, Consistency, Body Change, Custom, and Fun & Gamified.

Achievements come in four tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum — and five rarity levels from Common to Legendary. Some achievements are hidden and only revealed once unlocked.

All your data (workouts, sessions, goals, metrics) is stored locally on your device using SwiftData. Nothing is sent to external servers.

Yes. Apex Workouts integrates with HealthKit and can write completed workout sessions to Apple Health, allowing other health apps to see your training activity.

A database reset option is available in Settings. You will be shown a confirmation alert before any data is deleted, as this action is irreversible.

Apex Workouts runs an abandoned session cleanup task daily. If the app was force-quit or crashed mid-session, the incomplete session will be detected and cleaned up automatically on next launch to keep your history accurate.

Open the Schedule tab and verify that the recurrence rule is configured correctly (days of the week, start/end dates, and any excluded dates). If a specific occurrence was manually excluded, it will not appear even if the series is active.

Axel requires Apple Intelligence, which is limited to iPhone 15 Pro and newer (or M-series iPad). If your device does not meet this requirement, the AI chat feature will not be accessible.
