Strength Training App for Apple Watch
Custom Strength Training screens on Apple Watch, live with GPS, heart rate, and your real zones.
In the weight room, keep it simple: heart rate, active energy, and elapsed time, with a clean readout you can check between sets.
Runara is not a rep counter, and does not pretend to be one. It is the honest session record around your lifting: how long, how hard, marked into sets with one tap, and saved to Apple Health where the rest of your training already lives.
Sets as segments
The New Segment button is the whole trick: tap it when a set starts, and the session divides into pieces you can read afterwards, each with its own time, on the watch’s splits page and in the iPhone detail. Between sets, the segment clock doubles as a rest timer that never needs configuring.
If you plan your gym time as circuits, an interval plan runs the clock for you: work and rest blocks counted down on the header, transitions buzzed and spoken, no phone in hand between stations.
What a lifting session is worth
The session saves to Apple Health as a strength-training workout, time, heart rate, energy, and its effort feeds your training load, so leg day shows up in tomorrow’s form the same way a tempo run would. If you also use a set-logging app for weights and reps, the two coexist: Runara records the session, your logger records the barbell.
- Segment time (sets)
- One tap per set, and the session reads as pieces afterwards, work time, rest time, all of it real.
- Heart rate
- Continuous through the session, with the recovery dips between sets visible in the diagram afterwards.
- Active energy
- Energy from the watch’s model, saved with the workout, no gym-console guesswork.
- Elapsed time
- The honest length of the session, including the part spent staring at the bar deciding.

→Does Runara count reps or log weights?
No. Runara records the session, time, heart rate, energy, sets as segments, and leaves reps and weights to dedicated set loggers. If you use one, both records live happily side by side in Apple Health.
Is there a rest timer between sets?
The segment clock does the job: tap New Segment when the set ends and watch the time since, or build a circuit as an interval plan and let the watch buzz you back to the bar on schedule.
Does strength training close my rings and count as training?
Yes. The session saves to Apple Health as a strength-training workout, closes exercise minutes, earns indoor achievements, and its heart-rate effort feeds your training load like any cardio session.
