How do I add weight training to either wahoo fitness or sysym apps?

Is there a straight forward way to add a weight training workout to any of the wahoo apps? Like adding leg or triceps or whatever I’m working on?

Yes, but unfortunately no specific number of sets, reps or weight lifted. So it is limited to estimated kcal / training load based on time or heart rate. You can add these manually in a workout under history, clicking the plus there and selecting workout type strength. If you’d like to record one live to get an estimate of training load or calories you can do the following.

In the wahoo app you can click your profile in the top left corner → workout profiles.

If strength is not listed there: plus icon in the top right → scroll down to the gym section and click strength → set any of your preferences and click done in the top right.

Then click record in at the bottom and then after selecting strength you can record your workout.

Ok I can manually enter strength workouts.

No way to sync with Apple health app? I use GYMBOOK and that syncs to Apple health app and Strava.

Thanks :folded_hands:

If you sync Apple Health to Strava and link Wahoo to Strava then you will see all your Apple Health workouts in Wahoo. A free Strava account is all you need.

Strava is indeed probably easiest if you have an account. Another alternative for iOS without Strava is RunGap. Though some features are paid, not sure if this is one of them.

From what I have seen Wahoo is pretty limited when it comes to logging detailed strength workouts.Most people either log it as a generic strength session or track sets/reps in another app and just sync the activity over.

That’s what I thought. But Strava only seems to get data from wahoo and does not send data to wahoo during the synchronization process.
Is there a setting I can modify to get this working both directions?

Thank You :folded_hands:

I have Strava Authorized in Wahoo and SYSTM. I see activities shared both ways tho I don’t see a setting specific to this.

Maybe @Helga or @Rupert can shed more light on it because I know it does as I see my Apple Watch walks and rides, etc shared thru from Strava to Wahoo.

What data are you trying to pick up? Just the fact that your workout was completed, or something else like some output metrics

Just trying to get my workout from Strava into Wahoo apps. I use GYMBOOK for weight training and that sends workout to Strava and Apple Health app.
I’m not going to manually re-enter data that’s already in standard apps.
So basic info like length of workout, heart rate info and that it’s weight training/strength training.
