Automatic rep and strength training logger
planned (tbd)
Grigoriy Spirin
I truly love and am a Superset devotee, but the new manual rep logger feature for strength training is like last century?
Honestly, didn't want to advertise to anyone, but have you considered automatic exercise and rep detection like atlon.app or trainfitness.ai does? Automatic recognition in the gym really works, I've tested it, very handy.

I think this very possible using the censor data of the Apple Watch. Would love for the app to automatically log how many reps I did during my workout.

I tried Train (now Motra) and the auto rep tracking was pretty good once I told it what movements I was doing.
I don't see the use case for a feature that recognises whatever exercise you do at random. That doesn't seem like an efficient or intentional way to weight train at all - even if the app could do it.
I suppose if you have a personal trainer telling you what to do, or some sort of written workout, group fitness class, then it would be useful in that case.
Putting auto rep counting on top of Workout templates makes it easier for the app to track reps, but also allows the user to be more intentional about their strength training practice.

The app uses Apple Watch wrist motion sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) to continuously analyze movement patterns during a workout.
Based on these motion patterns, the system automatically:
- detects when the user starts performing an exercise,
- identifies the exercise type,
- counts repetitions,
- determines when a set ends as movement stops or significantly changes.
When the user transitions to a different exercise, the app recognizes a new motion pattern and automatically switches to the corresponding exercise.
Short pauses within a set are tolerated and do not immediately end the set, while unrelated movements are filtered out to avoid false detections.
The overall behavior and user experience should follow the same principles as the Train app on Apple Watch, which serves as a reference for hands-free, motion-driven workout tracking.

We really really want this feature! Please

Possibility to start a workout via the Apple Watch (without a template). Similar to the “Train” app with automatic recognition of exercises, for example in the gym.

Hi Bevel Team,
I'm a big fan of the Bevel app and the power it brings to the Apple Watch experience. One feature that would truly make the app a "gold standard" for strength training would be the implementation of automatic exercise and rep detection using the motion sensors on the Apple Watch.
Currently, we have to manually count and log reps/weight for each set, which can break the flow of the workout. Integrating a smart detection feature, similar to what's seen in other dedicated gym apps, would allow the watch to:
- Count reps in real-time for specific exercises (e.g., bicep curls, squats, bench presses).
- Provide a short haptic vibration when a target rep count is reached.
- Automatically advance to the rest timer and the next exercise in the synced template once a set is completed.
- Replace the old manual tracking method, providing a seamless and highly motivating user experience.
This would drastically improve the user experience during strength workouts, making tracking less intrusive and more accurate. It aligns perfectly with the goal of leveraging the Apple Watch's capabilities to provide a comprehensive fitness experience.
I understand that this feature is likely on your roadmap, but I wanted to formally add my support and highlight how much value it would bring to the community.
Thanks for the great work you're doing!

Do like TRAIN. Automatically detect each exercise performed with AI and then generate new workouts based on what you usually do

Makes it so much easier because I keep forgetting to press play or stop when I start/stop a set in the gym. Like the app “Train”
