A Strength Training App for Apple Watch and Wear OS

Progress is a free workout tracker with apps for Apple Watch and Wear OS watches. Start your workout on your phone, put it in your pocket or bag, and run the rest from your wrist: every set, weight, rep target, plate load, rest timer and your heart rate.

What you can do on your watch

How it works

  1. Start on your phone. Open your program in Progress and start today's workout. It appears on your watch straight away.
  2. Train from your watch. Everything you log on the watch syncs to your phone as you go, so you can switch between them mid-workout without losing anything.
  3. Finish. When you're done, automatic progressive overload raises your weights, reps or sets for next time, and the workout is saved to Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android.

Which watches?

On iPhone, Progress works with Apple Watch. On Android, it works with Wear OS watches, such as Samsung Galaxy Watch and Google Pixel Watch models running Wear OS. Both watch apps are free and included with the phone app.
