A workout tracker that shows what each session really looked like

FitRest gathers every workout saved to Apple Health and opens each one into a full breakdown: heart rate, route, splits, energy and how it compares with your recent sessions. You see what you did, how hard it was and whether you are moving forward, without switching between apps.

Your workouts, summarised

The Workouts card shows how many sessions you logged in the chosen window, with total calories, average calories and average duration. The window starts on the selected day and can stretch to 7, 14, 30 or 60 days, so you can check a single session or a whole training block from the same card. Recent workouts also appear on the Dashboard, so the latest session is never more than a glance away.

Tap View all workouts for the full list, including your most frequent workout type and a text summary you can share. A separate Workout Types card groups sessions by activity, with total and average calories and duration for each type, and lets you tap a type to see every session of it.

Inside a single workout

Open any workout and FitRest lays out what happened in the order you would want to read it. Each section appears only when the data exists for that workout, so a strength session and an outdoor run look different, as they should.

  • Workout Intensity: a 0-100 score with a short description of the effort, such as a steady, manageable session. It needs heart rate.
  • Heart Rate: average, minimum and maximum, opening into a zone-coloured heart rate chart and Workout Replay, which plays the session back at 0.5x, 1x, 2x or 4x.
  • Workout Route: for outdoor workouts with GPS, a map coloured by speed from green (slower) to red (faster), with a full-screen animated replay whose marker changes colour with your heart rate zone and shows live speed, heart rate and elevation.
  • Splits: pace per kilometre or per mile, following your unit setting, with your fastest split marked.
  • Energy Analysis: active versus resting calories, METs, an afterburn estimate and a plain comparison of what you burned.
  • Performance Data: elevation gain, cadence, power, swimming strokes, lengths and SWOLF, VO2 max, cardio recovery and weather, whenever your device recorded them.
  • Trends: how this workout compares with your sessions of the last 15, 30 or 60 days.

Why looking back at workouts matters

Fitness improves through steady, repeated training followed by enough rest. The hard part is seeing that progress, because a single session rarely feels different from the last one. Reviewing your workouts shows the slow changes that matter: a familiar route run at a quicker pace, the same effort at a lower heart rate, or more consistent weeks than a month ago.

Heart rate gives the effort behind the numbers. Two runs of the same distance can be very different sessions if one was easy and one pushed you into the higher zones. Seeing both together helps you keep easy days easy, notice when a session was harder than planned, and balance your week rather than going all out every time.

FitRest is not a medical device. If anything about your heart rate during exercise worries you, talk to a doctor.

Routes, replays and sharing

Outdoor workouts come with a route map you can view in Standard, Muted, Satellite, 3D Satellite, Hybrid or 3D Hybrid style. The full-screen replay follows your path with a Motion or Zoom camera, and you can export it as a replay video in a Classic or Clean style, with an optional heart rate overlay.

To share a session as a picture, the Create Workout Image editor lets you pick a background photo, choose which data fields appear and style them with colours, opacity, size and placement. Save the result to Photos or share it straight away. You can also share any workout as plain text.

What data it uses

FitRest reads workouts from Apple Health. That includes sessions recorded on Apple Watch, on iPhone, and by other devices or apps that save to Apple Health. When another device saves heart rate during a workout, FitRest picks it up for that workout's time window, so heart rate sections still fill in. Routes need GPS, and power, cadence or swimming metrics appear only when your device records them.

How to use it

  1. 1After each session, open it from the Workouts card and check the heart rate chart to see whether the effort matched your plan.
  2. 2Use the 7 or 30 day range to see how many sessions you fit in and which workout type dominates your week.
  3. 3On a regular route, compare splits and Trends against recent sessions to spot a quicker pace or a lower heart rate for the same distance.
  4. 4Watch the route replay after a race or long run to see where you slowed down or pushed hardest.
  5. 5Make a workout image with your own photo when you want to share a milestone session.

Workouts: questions and answers

Does FitRest show workouts recorded by other apps or devices?

Yes. FitRest reads every workout saved to Apple Health, including those from Apple Watch, iPhone and other devices or apps that save there. Heart rate saved by another device during the workout is used too.

Can I see my running route coloured by speed?

Yes. Outdoor workouts with GPS show a map coloured from green for slower stretches to red for faster ones. The full-screen replay colours the moving marker by heart rate zone instead.

Are splits shown in kilometres or miles?

Splits follow your distance unit setting, so they show pace per kilometre or per mile. The fastest split is marked.

Can I record a workout in FitRest?

FitRest reads and analyses workouts you record with Apple Watch, iPhone or another app that saves to Apple Health. Record the session as usual and it appears in FitRest.

Can I get a reminder to start my workout?

Yes. Workout Notifications let you set a start time, how many minutes before it you want a nudge, and which days it repeats.

FitRest reads the data already in Apple Health, so there is nothing to set up beyond granting access.
