What Basic includes

Basic is the free plan, and it is a complete workout tracker on its own. Everything on this page works without paying anything, on your phone and on a Garmin watch. Basic is free for good. Every paid plan includes all of it too.

What this page does

Basic logs your training and keeps your history. Deciding what to lift next is Coaching. "What coaching includes" covers that.

Log every workout

Work through a session set by set, on your phone or from your wrist. Log a set on either device and it shows up on the other.¹ The watch keeps working with no signal.

¹ Except on the fēnix 6 and 6S (not the Pro models), the original Enduro, the Forerunner 245, the Instinct 3 Solar and the Instinct E. Those watches send your workout to your phone once, when you finish.

Off-plan days are covered too. Quick workout starts an empty session you build as you go. Attempt a record is a separate mode for testing a heavy single. It never changes your regular targets.

Your full history, and you can correct it

Every finished session is kept with the sets, reps and weights exactly as you logged them.

Workouts — History

Tap any session to see it in full, and edit it if you logged something wrong — the weight, the reps, a set you forgot to mark complete.

Workout session detail

Routines and a schedule you control

Build your own routines, reorder them, group exercises into supersets, and put them on a calendar. Skip or swap a single day without disturbing the weekly pattern behind it.

Records

Personal records and current records are tracked for every exercise you train, and you get the celebration when you break one.

Personal records

Body, cardio and photos

Log bodyweight and measurements and watch the trend, record cardio sessions alongside your lifting, and keep progress photos to compare side by side.

Good to know

Your account backs all of this up. Sign in and your training syncs to your own account, so a new phone picks up exactly where the old one left off.

Progress photos are the one exception. They stay on the phone that took them and are never uploaded anywhere. Uninstalling the app deletes them.
