Strength support

Use Strength with confidence.

A practical guide to planning training, logging workouts, and understanding your progress.

01 — Getting started

Start with the work you want to do.

Strength connects a simple cycle: plan your training, complete your workout, then review what changed. Use a program when you want structure, or begin with a workout that suits today.

What is Strength?

Strength is an iOS strength-training app for planning sessions, logging work, and reviewing training progress. It brings programs, reusable workout templates, exercise history, and performance trends into one place.

How do I get started?

Start with Today for your current training direction. Choose a planned session when you have one, or begin a workout and log the work you complete. Your completed sessions become the history Strength uses to show previous performance, trends, estimated strength, and recommendations you can choose to use or ignore.

Do I need a training program to start a workout?

No. Programs are useful when you want to organize training over several sessions or days, but they are not required for every workout. A workout can stand on its own, which is useful for an unplanned session or training that does not follow a repeating schedule.

03 — Workouts

Keep the session simple: record what you did.

How do I start a workout?

Begin from the workout available to you in the app, whether it comes from a program, a reusable template, or a standalone session. Once active, work through its exercises and record each completed set.

How do I log a set or change weight and repetitions?

During a workout, enter the weight and repetitions you completed, then tap Complete Set. Adjust the values before you mark the set complete, and record what actually happened in the gym rather than trying to force the original target.

How do warm-up sets work?

Warm-ups let you record preparatory work before your working sets. Use them to keep your session complete while making it clear which sets were part of the main training work.

How does the rest timer work?

Strength includes rest timing to help you stay aware of the break between sets. Use the timer as a cue, then take the rest you need before beginning the next set.

Can I change exercises during a workout?

Yes. Exercise substitution is available when the planned movement does not fit the session, such as when equipment is unavailable. Choose a suitable alternative and continue logging the work you perform.

Can I use supersets?

Yes. Supersets keep paired exercises organized when you move between them with little or no rest. Log each exercise’s work as you complete it so the session history stays clear.

How do I finish a workout?

Review the sets you recorded and use the workout’s finish flow when the session is complete. Completed work becomes part of your training history, where you can revisit the session and see its contribution to progress.

04 — Exercises

Choose movements that fit the session.

How do I find an exercise?

Browse the exercise library when you are planning or building a workout. Use the available exercise information to find a movement that matches the equipment and training goal you have in mind.

How do I add an exercise to a workout?

When planning, choose from the exercise library to build the workout structure. During an active session, choose an exercise within the workout flow when you need to add or replace work for that day.

Can I substitute an exercise?

Yes. Use a substitution when the planned exercise is not practical that day. Aim for a movement that serves a similar purpose, then log the substitute so your record reflects the session you performed.

How do I find exercises for my equipment and see previous performance?

Use the exercise library to browse movements appropriate for the equipment you have available. Your recorded exercise history helps put today’s work in context, and a gym profile can help represent the training environment you plan around.

05 — Programs and templates

Use structure when it helps.

What is a training program?

A training program organizes training across multiple sessions or days. It gives the work ahead a sequence, which can make progressive overload—gradually increasing training demand over time—easier to plan and review.

What is a workout template?

A workout template is a reusable workout structure. It is useful for a session you return to often, such as an upper-body day or a short full-body workout, without rebuilding the exercise list each time.

What is the difference between a program and a template?

A program organizes several training sessions over time. A template is one reusable session structure. You can use templates as part of a program or as a flexible starting point for training without a program.

How do I select or change an active program?

Manage programs from Profile, where your training structure is kept. Select the program you want to use for current training, and return there when it is time to change direction; available options can vary with your setup.

Can I train without following a program?

Yes. Strength supports structured training without requiring every workout to belong to a program. Use a reusable template or a standalone workout when that better fits your training.

What is a gym profile?

A gym profile represents a training environment and the equipment available there. It helps keep planning grounded in where you train, whether that is a commercial gym, a home setup, or another regular location.

06 — Profile and settings

Manage the details around your training.

What information is in my athlete profile?

Profile brings together athlete information and the training setup around it. It is also the home for programs, templates, gym profiles, settings, membership options, and data tools.

How do I update my bodyweight?

Use your profile’s bodyweight area to record a new entry. Those records can be reviewed alongside training history in Progress, helping you understand change over time without treating bodyweight as a measure of performance by itself.

Where do I manage gym profiles, programs, and templates?

Go to Profile to manage these planning tools. Gym profiles reflect your environment, programs organize work over time, and templates preserve reusable session structures.

Where do I find subscription settings?

Open Profile, then choose Strength Pro for membership information, purchase restoration, and eligible offer-code redemption. Apple manages billing, cancellations, refunds, and payment methods.

07 — Progress and Aristeia Intelligence

Turn a record of training into useful context.

Where can I see my training progress?

Open Progress to review training history, performance trends, personal records, estimated strength, bodyweight history, and training coverage. Use it to see how recorded work is changing over time.

What is an estimated one-rep maximum (e1RM)?

An e1RM is an estimate of the maximum weight you could lift once, based on recorded performance. It is not a measured maximum lift, but it can be a useful way to compare strength performance over time.

How do I view exercise history and personal records?

Use Progress to revisit completed training and record-oriented performance history. Personal records highlight notable performance changes; they are most useful when read alongside the exercise and session context that produced them.

How should I interpret training trends?

Trends show how your recorded training changes over time, rather than judging one workout in isolation. Look for sustained patterns in performance, volume, frequency, estimated strength, or bodyweight, then use your goals and circumstances to decide what to do next.

What is Aristeia Intelligence?

Aristeia Intelligence evaluates relevant recorded training performance to identify meaningful patterns. When the evidence supports an adjustment, it may recommend a progression change and explain the reasoning behind it.

Do I have to follow an Aristeia recommendation?

No. Aristeia informs the decision; you make it. Consider the recommendation alongside your goals, technique, schedule, and the reality of the session, then apply or ignore it as you choose.

08 — Sharing & Importing

Share the structure. Keep control of your record.

How do I share a completed workout?

After finishing a workout, select Share Workout from the Completed screen. Strength creates a visual performance card and opens the iOS Share Sheet. Choose where to send or save the image. The card is for viewing and cannot be imported as workout-history data.

How do I share a training program?
  1. Open Programming.
  2. Select Programs.
  3. Open the program you want to share.
  4. Select Share.
  5. Choose Send to Strength.
  6. Send or save the .strengthshare file using the iOS Share Sheet.

You can also choose Share as PDF when you want a view-only copy.

How do I import a shared Strength program?
  1. Receive a .strengthshare file.
  2. Open the file in Strength.
  3. Review the Add to Strength preview.
  4. Select Add.

Strength creates a new draft program. It does not automatically activate the program or replace your existing training history.

Can I share workout templates?

Yes. Strength supports sharing reusable workout templates through .strengthshare files. Another Strength user can open the file, review the contents, and choose Add. Template limits may apply depending on their subscription.

Why can’t I import a shared Strength file?

Strength may reject a file if its format is unsupported or newer than the app, the package contains invalid information, or required exercises cannot be matched. The import preview identifies issues that must be resolved before adding the content.

Can I import workout history from Strong or Hevy?
  1. Open Profile.
  2. Select Data & Import.
  3. Select Import Workout History.
  4. Choose a compatible Strong or Hevy CSV export.
  5. Review exercise matches and potential duplicates.
  6. Confirm the import.

Imported workouts become part of your Strength training history.

How do I export my Strength workout history?
  1. Open Profile.
  2. Select Data & Import.
  3. Select Export Training Data.
  4. Use the system export flow to save or share the resulting CSV file.

The CSV is intended for external recordkeeping and analysis. It is not a full backup or a guaranteed re-import format.
