BIG Workout Suggestion Refresh
Workout Suggestions has been completely redesigned to deliver smarter, more personalized recommendations that better reflect how you actually train.
Body Region Tracking
For the following workouts, you can now choose whether the focus was Upper Body, Lower Body, Core, or Full Body when viewing workout details. This helps improve training balance and ensures workout suggestions better account for recovery needs across muscle groups.
Supported workouts include:
• Functional Strength Training
• Traditional Strength Training
• High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
• Cross Training
• Mixed Cardio
• Flexibility
• Pilates
For all other workouts, muscle impact is automatically accounted for (for example, running and cycling primarily target lower body, while rowing emphasizes upper body).
If you prefer not to use body region tracking, you can disable it anytime by turning off “Show Training Focus” in the More tab.
Additional Workout Suggestion Improvements
• Coaching hints now explain why specific workouts are recommended
• A “Matches Today’s Focus” label highlights workouts aligned with your recommended training focus
• Zone guidance shows how many minutes to spend in each heart rate zone
• On low recovery days, suggestions prioritize gentle mind & body workouts such as yoga
• New users receive starter workout suggestions until enough personal history is built
Today Tab, Trends Tab, and Workout Customization
You can now customize the layout of the Today Tab (dashboard), the Trends Tab, and individual workout detail screens. Each screen includes a Customize button at the bottom, allowing you to rearrange elements in the order that works best for you.
Other New Features
• Snowboarding and Downhill Skiing workouts now include speed, distance, and route maps
• The Workout Calendar now compares your workout count to the same day from last month
Bug Fixes and Optimizations
• Initial app loading is approximately 15% faster
• Improved Apple Intelligence insights within workout details
• Smoother scrolling when selecting days on the calendar
• Improved scrolling performance in workout detail views
• Fixed an issue where Cardio Fitness could display as 0 after certain Watch workouts
• Fixed cases where the Watch Exertion Widget Target Exertion did not match the iPhone app
• Fixed an issue where deleting a workout did not immediately update the Day Summary widget
Thanks!

Vital Health Metrics on Apple Watch
Your vital health metrics are now available directly in the Apple Watch app—plus as a large rectangular watch widget/complication for quick access.
Note: Blood Oxygen isn’t queryable on certain Apple Watch models and may require a sync from iPhone. Because of this, you may occasionally see different values on iPhone and Apple Watch until they sync again.
Athlytic Age Insights
Track your Athlytic Age vs. your chronological age over time with a brand-new trend chart.
Plus, new coaching highlights what’s helping keep you young—and where there’s room to improve.
Smarter Sleep, Stress & Battery Coaching
Sleep, Current Stress, and Battery coaching have been dramatically improved with much smarter, more personalized insights tailored to your data.
Fixes & Improvements
• The views below Athlytic Age are now properly ordered based on their weighting (e.g., RHR, Body Fat, Steps, and more)
• Additional minor bug fixes and performance optimizations

26.3.0 6 Feb
BIG updates to Health!
New option to export your health data in a Health Report that you can share with your doctor, healthcare provider or anyone else. You'll find it located in the share button on the top right of health. (Remember: Athlytic is not providing medical advice but highlighting your health data in Apple Health so that your medical professional can interpret it!)
All 5 health metric charts now also go back 6 months so you can see how you're trending over a much longer time frame. These 6 month charts are also exportable via the new health report!
And since we feel that your Health metrics are so critically important, like the existing Health features, these new features are free to all users as well!
Athlytic Age Trend!
You can now see a chart of your Athlytic Age vs your Chronological Age at bottom of the health tab!
Share Card Refresh
The share cards (found either by tapping on the share icon on the top right of the home screen and top right of the individual workout screen) have received a design refresh, and will formats automatically to IG story size.
Fixes:
-Fixed an issue where 3rd party apps would write duplicate heart rates which would populate into Athlytic
-For voice over users, fixed an issue when tapping on steps on the home screen and also made dismissal of the info cards more intuitive.
Thanks!

26.2.4 27 Jan
Quick update for some tiny fixes to the new Workout comarison features:
-Fixed an issue where users who prefer the metric system were only seeing miles instead of km on the distance comparison card. This is correctly displaying on the year in review card.
-Calories or kilojoules on the comparison card will include a comma for values more than 3 digits.
-Weekly streaks will not reset to 0 until an entire week has passed without a workout.
Also from version 26.2.2:
Workout tab glow-up: a much needed refresh of the workout comparisons! You will now see a Progress and History toggle. Your workout summaries and comparisons now live in the Progress toggle. Progress will show a calendar marking your active days and weekly streaks, a Top Efforts card where you can select to view Top Efforts by month, year, and all time, as well as cards for number of workouts, duration, distance, and energy burned where you can view comparisons for the current week, month, or year. Lastly, you can view your previous month recap of stats at the end of the Progress screen. Under the History toggle lives your workout history that you can now sort by workout type and/or year.
Great work on this Jaclyn! My favorite part is being able to see my highest Efforts ever! Note: this feature is tied to the number of workouts you want loaded and can be set in the More tab. The default is your last 1000 workouts but you can load up to 3000 if you want (you may be a slightly longer load time though). Also note that if you do increase the workouts you want loaded, go back to the home screen and pull down to refresh before going to the Workout tab.
Finally we also added a yearly recap of your workouts in 2025, showing your workout highlights of the past year.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue where today's average daily Stress might not match the weekly chart below it.
Fixed an issue where Suggested Workouts might look squished when using larger text sizes.
Fixed an issue where you still might receive a High Stress Notification if you had previously turned it on then turned it off in Notification settings in the More tab.
A few other minor visual bug fixes.
Thanks!

Quick update to fix an issue where some users with longer workouts might have HR Zone times that didn't add up to the total duration of the workout. Also fixed an issue that could affect maps on certain workouts.
Also the restore purchase button now should not require force quitting and opening to unlock, it should immediately unlock if you have an active subscription.

26.2.1 09/12/2025
BIG update for Steps!
Steps are now at the bottom of the home screen (moving from Trends) and show where you are today relative to your Step Goal (you can set your Step Goal in the More Tab, the default is 10,000). You can then tap on the card to see the detailed Steps Card showing your weekly, 30 day, and 60 day step totals.
New Feature: Daily Heart Rate Per Steps! Below the Steps Detail Card, you will now see a new Feature Called Daily Heart Rate Per Steps (DHRPS). DHRPS is based on your 60 day daily resting heart rate as well as your 60 day average steps per day, and provides an indication of your cardiovascular efficiency. So for example a lower resting heart rate and a high average daily step count will equal better cardiovascular efficiency and a lower signal of cardiac risk and other risks such as diabetes and stroke. You can read more about DHRPS in the info card at the bottom of the screen.
There is also an all new Steps Calendar View on the steps card letting you better visualize the days you've hit your step goal. It's also tappable to see your steps for a given day.
Cycle Phase Widgets!
3 New Menstrual Cycle Phase Widgets (small, medium, and large) have been added so you can now track your Cycle right from your Home Screen.
New Journal Tags
10 New Tags have been added to the Journal: Antibiotic, Anxious, Cortisone, Depressed, Fever, Infrared Sauna, Manual Labor, Plasma Donation, Steroid, and Yard Work.
HRR Added to Athlytic Age
Heart Rate Recovery has been added as an additional component of Athlytic Age. Like VO2 Max, only higher intensity workouts are counted.
Other updates:
-Fixed an issue where age might be incorrect for users who's iPhone uses the Buddhist calendar
-Daily Average Charge (Battery), Average Daily Stress, Average Sleep Stress, and Average Waking Stress charts when tapped, will now show day of the week in addition to the date.
-Average Steps now has a comma

Major Training Load Updates!
Training Load and Training Load Ratio are now incorporated into the main coaching at the top of the home screen!
In Trends, there is no longer a load time to view your Training Load.
Training Load on the watch! On the watch app when you swipe past the Workout Screen you will now see Training Load and Training Load Ratio!
Training Load and Training Load Ratio widgets/complications are also available!
Side note: this brings Athlytic up to a whopping 15 widgets on the watch (20 on the iPhone!), and each family has at least 3 or 4 variations!
Bringing Training Load to the watch was a bit of a technical feat but I'm glad we finally did it!
IMPORTANT! For Training Load to work correctly on the watch MAKE SURE BACKGROUND APP REFRESH IS ENABLED: go to the Settings App -> General Background App Refresh and make sure it's turned on for Athlytic.
Other updates:
-Added support for text selection (e.g. being able to copy and paste) to most of the coaching in the iPhone app. If there is somewhere I didn't get to that you'd like to be able to select, please let me know!
-Fixed an issue where some users still on iOS 18 couldn't tap on a day on the calendar to open up the view for a given day.
-Fixed an issue that may have prevented the Apple Watch’s Action Button working correctly to start a workout in the Athlytic Apple Watch app.
-Track and Field workouts will now show speed.
-The HRV Widget on the iPhone now also shows your latest HRV reading.
-Small bug fix for female users who prefer not to see their menstrual cycle data, the Health summary will not reference your cycle.
Thanks!

Thanks!

Also from the big Fall Update:
New Features:
Athlytic Age!
At the bottom of the Health screen you will find a new feature called Athlytic Age. Athlytic Age shows how your daily habits and training are shaping your body’s true rate of aging—whether you’re trending younger, older, or right on track. Athlytic Age is calculated through the metrics listed below it. NOTE this feature is currently in public Beta so please send any feedback and/or bug reports to us at athlytic@gmail.com. To learn more about Athlytic Age, tap on the Info Card at the bottom of the Health screen.
Workout Insights
Workout Insights can be found at the top when you tap on an individual workout. Now after each workout you’ll see an AI-generated summary with highlights, areas for improvement, and a deeper analysis of your training data. I encourage you, if you don't already, to start adding notes in the notes section at the bottom of workouts. These notes get saved into Apple Health and your workout insights will include them in its analysis!
Journal Insights
At the bottom of today’s Tags you’ll now see AI-driven insights that highlight patterns between your Journal entries and their impact on Recovery and Sleep.
NOTE: Workout and Jornal Insights are ONLY available on iPhones with Apple Intelligence, e.g. iPhone 15 Pro or later.
10 New Journal Tags: Anesthesia, Artificial Sweetener, Chemotherapy, Estrogen, Nicotine, Probiotic, Progesterone, Surgery, Weather Change, and Zinc

Improvements:
Time Asleep and Wake Up Time have been added to the watch app.
The Heart Rate Zones card in Trends is now built from heart rates from the entire day (not just heart rates from only workouts like it was before) so that it matches the Weekly Cardio Load card below it.
Fixed an issue on the Restorative Sleep Chart where tapping the chart to toggle between hours and % of total sleep was too hard to do.
Outdoor skating now has a skateboarding icon.
The Info Card images at the bottom of screens describing features have been updated.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue where in certain situations, elevation gain for running, walking, and hiking workouts might not display on the iPhone's workout screen.

A few other minor fixes and optimizations.

Fixed an issue where Turn on Rest Mode? might not show up if you have red Recovery and 1 or more Health metrics outside of normal.
Fixed an issue where the Weekly Energy chart might not show the most recent completed week if the day is Sunday.
Fixed an issue where if you have your preferred sleep tracker set to an app that doesn't save sleep stages to Apple Health, only awake time would appear on the sleep chart.
Some colors have been refreshed in anticipation of a design refresh coming this fall. It's going to be a busy summer!
Thanks!

6.2.3 11/06/2025
Small quality of life update:
The Training Load charts now show a shaded area for Optimal Training Range to stay in. There is also now a rating label above Training Load coaching.
The Training Impulse card (when tapping on a workout) is now called Training Load Effect and shows a before and after UI for Long and Short Term Fitness as well as provides coaching at the bottom to help better understand each workout's effect on Training Load.
The Watch App now has a horizontal tab for navigation. While I tried to stick with Apple's preferred vertical watch UX, we had too many users who didn't know that you could start a workout on Athlytic so this will make that feature more discoverable.
Exertion coaching has also been added to the watch app on the Exertion detail view.
Improved chart selection when you tap on the Stress chart to see a value at a certain time.
Fixed an issue where long runs might not show on the map correctly....I don't do running workouts very often so please let us know if there are any remaining issues!
Fixed an issue where in certain situations Wrist Temperature dates might overlap in the Health section.
Some other under the hood optimizations and fixes.

Fixed an issue where Impact Analysis in the Journal might not be correct for something that was tagged everyday.
A few other minor fixes and optimizations.
Also from 6.2:
Rest Mode! This is a feature that many have asked for so I'm very excited to finally bring it to Athlytic!
How it works:
At any point you can go into the More Tab under Training Preferences and turn on Rest Mode. In addition, if you wake up and have a red Recovery and one or more Health metrics is outside of your normal range, a button will pop up (below the coaching at the top of the home screen) asking if you want to turn Rest Mode on.
Rest mode will stay on until you turn it off, however if you wake up with a green Recovery, all health metrics in your normal ranges, and get adequate sleep, Athlytic will pop up a button again below the coaching asking if you want to turn it off.
What happens during Rest Mode:
-Rest Mode will always be indicated on the home screen under coaching, reminding you to prioritize Rest and Recovery. (You can also turn it off at any time here by tapping on the Rest Mode indicator).
-Rest Mode is also indicated at the top of the watch app.
-Target Exertion is no longer shown. You can still track your Exertion but won't need to worry about hitting any Targets.
-Workout Suggestions are not shown.
-Athlytic's AI coaching will prioritize your need for rest and recovery over suggested training approaches.
-Many of the widgets that show Exertion will also show that Rest Mode is on (except the small watch widgets where there isn't room to show).
-The Exertion and Recovery vs Exertion charts will indicate which days Rest Mode was on.
Note also that the Training Goal of Injured or Resting still exists and is best for longer term breaks from training, whereas Rest Mode is intended for shorter periods like 1 to a few days.
The following Athlytic shortcuts are now available in Apple’s Shortcuts app:
- Open Athlytic
- View My Recovery
- View My Sleep
- View My Exertion
- View My Daily Report (Recovery, Exertion, Sleep Metrics)
You can use these shortcuts to set up automations in Apple’s Shortcuts app.

6.1 25/03/2025
Added a Daily Step Goal Setting in the More tab. Previously the goal was 10,000 steps per day but now you can customize it.
Added a legend to the bottom of the large Training Load Widget.
Improved search when looking for a given Tag to add in the Journal.
Sleep Efficiency: Since Apple stopped saving In Bed samples from the iPhone, Athlytic will calculate Sleep Efficiency based only on your awake time. Athlytic's original Sleep Efficiency algorithm was built even before the Apple Watch took sleep stages (and why it used to factor in the iPhone's in bed samples) so it was due for a revision.
Fixed an issue that might cause your Sleep Latency to be 0 if your sleep tracker saved an awake sample before any other sleep samples. Also if you do not have any In Bed samples (which Sleep Latency requires) you will no longer see the Sleep Latency card showing 0. (Apple used to save In Bed samples in Appel Health from the iPhone but stopped doing this. Now, to have In Bed samples, you need to use a third party sleep tracking app).
Refreshed Gradient on Battery charts and fixed an issue where the Y Axis might show 110.
Attempted to fix an issue some users were having with the Stress Widget on the Watch where very long workouts might cause a crash (or widget to stop updating).
Cleaned up some issues on the watch to improve syncing as well as hopefully reduced some crashes on the watch that were happening in the background.
Added Muse as a sleep tracker.
A few other fixes and optimizations.
Thanks!

Also from 6.0:
New Features:
Women’s Cycle Insights
Our new Cycle Phase feature helps women better understand how their menstrual cycle affects training and energy levels by providing phase-specific coaching including training recommendations tailored to each phase as well as insights into energy levels and hormonal fluctuations.
Athlytic estimates your current cycle phase based on your menstruation duration and overall cycle length, if tracked in Apple Health or an app that syncs to Apple Health.
In the More tab, women will find Menstrual Cycle Preferences, where they can set their typical period and cycle lengths to refine phase predictions and receive more accurate insights.
Training Load Widgets!
You can now see your Training Load on your iPhone's home screen with all new small, medium and large Training Load Widgets. These Widgets are customizable as well. By default they they will show a chart of your Training Load for the past year, but if you tap to configure them you can set them to show your 30, 60 day or 6 month charts instead.
A new Small iPhone Steps Widget (in addition to the existing medium widget)
Updates:
Major Updates to Battery:
The Battery algorithm has been updated. Battery now uses a rolling 24 hour window to compare your HRV to your 60 day baseline. While we recommend this 24 hour smoothing since it balances both your sleeping HRV and waking HRV (which is usually lower), you can customize it in the More tab to use a lower or higher smoothing period. You can also customize the battery's sensitivity.
Added a Typical Range area on the Battery charts to show when you're within or outside of your typical range.
Chart selection (i.e. the ability to tap the chart and see the value) has been added to both Daily and Weekly Battery charts in the Battery section on the iPhone.
9 New Journal Tags:
Cold Plunge, Irregular heartbeat, Jet Lag, Outdoor Time, Protein Supplement, Sick Partner, Sound Machine, Steam Room, and Vitamin B.
Other Updates:
The coaching at the top of home screen has been radically improved as far as detecting potential signals from your Health metrics.
A slight revision to Exertion and Effort algorithm. Exertion is more sensitive now especially in lower ranges. For users who walk or bike to work, or do rigorous house work or yard work, and previously had Exertion of 0 on these days, I think you will see more Exertion now during these days without having to start a workout on your Apple Watch. (Please note that since Athlytic cache's previous days' Exertion, you will need to go to the More Tab then Clear Caches/Resync, then Clear the Exertion cache to recalculate past days Exertion based on the new algorithm.

In the Journal for clarity, it will now say "Tag What Happened Yesterday" (the default), but if you change the date to today it will now say "Tag What Happened Today." All other dates will say "Tag What Happened on this Day."
Fixes:
In the Energy Tab, the Past 7 Days now correctly shows only the past 7 days of data (previously it inadvertently showed 8 days of data).
On the Recovery detail screen, corrected an issue where the language below might say 0% lower than or higher than when comparing your HRV/RHR to baseline.
Fixed some potential sync issues with iPhone and watch widgets.
Fixed an issue where on initial download of the app (or when you uninstall and reinstall) your Exertion may appear too high for previous days.
Fixed an issue where Kilojoules did not show instead of calories on the Monthly Highlights Card at the top of the Workouts Tab.
Fixed an issue where bad data in Apple Health might cause erroneously long workout recommendations.
Added an icon for Fitness Gaming.
A few other minor fixes and optimizations.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a major update, so if you are running version 6.0 on your iPhone but not on your watch, your values will likely differ so make sure you are running 6.0 on Both devices!
Thanks!

6.0 03/03/2025
Quick update to correct an issue where some users in regions other than the U.S. might incorrectly see a $ in front of the subscription prices. If you are still experiencing this issue after this update, please email us at athlytic@gmail.com.
Also fixed an issue some users where having in Health where 2 HRV might show on the same day on the chart.
Thanks!

5.7.8 10/02/2025
Added Training Load Preferences in the More tab where you can increase the number of workouts that Athlytic loads (from 1000), if you have more than 1000 workouts during the past year. These workouts will also be visible in the Workouts Tab. Note that this could slightly increase load times.
On the refreshed Health charts, now when you select 7, 30, or 60 days, that selection will remain as you select between the different metrics.
Also fixed an issue with Health Charts where if your normal ranges were outside the bounds of your 7 day chart, it might appear strange. Normal ranges are based on your 60 day data whether you're looking at 7, 30, or 60 day chart.
Fixed a crash in Training Load that might occur from bad data in Apple Health.
Fixed a bug on the Exertion tab where pulling down to refresh would animate the ring completely full.
Fixed some default settings that might cause iPhone widgets from not matching the iPhone app.
Thanks!
Gary
5.7.7 02/02/2025
Design refresh of the charts in Health. You can now tap on the metrics below to quickly see your charts and better identify trends between them. IMO much better than the long vertical scroll previously.
Very slight adjustment to Target Exertion calculations.
Bug Fixes:
On the Stress chart if you tap on a period during a workout or walking it will now say Activity and not show a Stress Value (since Stress is intended to only measure Stress during periods of rest or inactivity).
Fixed an issue where if you have multiple sleep trackers saving data into Apple Health but prefer Apple Sleep tracking, sleeping in past your alarm might get flagged as a nap.
Fixed an issue where users of 3rd party workout apps (e.g. Wahoo) might see artificially inflated Heart Rate Recovery scores because the app was saving HR's of 0 bpm to Apple Health.
Added Zepp as a sleep tracker in the More tab.
A few other very minor fixes and improvements.
Thanks!
