On iPhone, a running workout or cardio session shows a live card on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. The trainee can follow the workout and log a set without unlocking the phone and opening the app.
Live Activities are an iPhone feature. Android has no workout card. Android does show an ongoing notification for a cardio session. See Cardio and steps.

​
During a workout

The card appears when the workout starts and follows it set by set. It shows:
  • the current exercise,
  • where the trainee is in it, for example Set 2/4,
  • the weight and reps of the next set, for example 60kg × 10 reps, using the same suggestions the app shows in the set table,
  • a Log set button.
Log set ticks the next open set, exactly like tapping the check in the app. The rest timer then starts. Exercises without sets, such as a cardio-style exercise, show Cardio as the status.

​
During rest

While the rest timer runs, the card shows the countdown and what comes next:
  • Rest · next: set 3/4 when the next set is in the same exercise,
  • Rest · next: followed by the exercise name when the next set is in a different exercise.
A Skip button ends the rest early. When the rest ends, the phone plays the rest-over alert set in your studio’s notification settings, unless that alert is turned off or the trainee muted Workout reminders.

​
During a cardio session

A cardio session has its own card with the activity name, the stopwatch, Live or Paused, and the goal when there is a per-workout target. A button on the card pauses and resumes the session. When cardio runs inside a workout, the same card carries the cardio stopwatch for that workout.

​
When the card goes away

  • When the trainee finishes a workout with every exercise done, the card changes to Workout complete with a summary such as 48 min · 6 exercises, and stays for about four minutes.
  • When a workout is finished with open sets, or discarded, the card is removed right away.
  • A cardio card is removed when the session is saved or discarded.

​
Good to know

  • The card uses your studio colour.
  • Tapping the card opens the workout in the app. This also works when the app was closed, as long as the workout is less than six hours old.
  • The trainee can turn Live Activities off for Perform in the iPhone settings. The workout itself is not affected.
