Overview
Every workout you complete on Gymkee is saved in your history. You can revisit any session, see every set you logged, check your feedback scores, and track how your performance evolves over time.
Your data lives in two places:
Workout History shows all your past, missed, and upcoming workouts in one scrollable list.
Exercise History shows your progression on a specific exercise across every workout where you performed it, complete with a line graph and personal records.
Together, they give you a full picture of where you started, where you are now, and where you're heading.
Workout History Screen
Getting There
Tap the dumbbell icon in the bottom navigation bar (the Fitness tab)
Tap the Workouts tab at the top (next to Programs and Exercises)
You land on the Workout History screen.
Browsing with Filters
At the top of the screen, you'll see four filter tags:
Filter | What it shows |
Completed (green) | All workouts you've finished, sorted by most recent first |
Missed (red) | Workouts whose scheduled date passed without you completing them |
Scheduled (grey) | Upcoming workouts your coach has planned for you, sorted by nearest date first |
Activities (purple) | Your logged activities (runs, cycling, swimming, etc.), separate from structured workouts |
Tap any filter to switch the list. The default view is Completed.
Scrolling and Refreshing
The list uses infinite scroll. Keep scrolling down and older workouts load automatically.
Pull down on the list to refresh and fetch the latest data from Gymkee.
What Each Workout Card Shows
Each card in the list displays:
The workout name (or "Day #1", "Day #2", etc.)
The date it was completed or scheduled
The program name (if it belongs to a program)
A thumbnail image (the first exercise's video thumbnail)
A colored status badge: Completed, Missed, or Programmed
Tap any card to open the full workout detail.
Viewing a Completed Workout
When you tap a completed workout, you see:
Exercise Thumbnails
A horizontal scroll of video thumbnails for each exercise in the workout. Tap any thumbnail to view that exercise's details.
Coach's Comment
If your coach left a note for this workout, it appears under the Coach's comment section at the top. This could be instructions, motivation, or context about the session.
Exercise Details
Below the comment, the Details section lists every exercise in the workout. For each exercise, you'll see:
The exercise name and video thumbnail
All sets with the values you logged
For each set: the prescribed target (what your coach planned) and the actual value you performed
Section separators if the workout is organized into blocks (like "Warm-up", "Main", "Finisher")
Feedback
If the workout included feedback questions, your answers appear at the bottom under Feedbacks. Feedback types include:
Score out of 10 (for satisfaction, perceived effort, fatigue, etc.)
Free text responses
These scores are sent to your coach so they can adjust your training.
Menu Options
Tap the three-dot menu (top-right corner) to access:
View summary: Opens the workout recap screen with your stats, fun comparisons, and the option to share
Restart the workout: Start the workout again from scratch (only available if your coach allows restarts)
Exercise History and Progression
This is where the magic happens. Your exercise history shows how your performance evolves over time on each specific exercise.
How to Open It
During a workout, tap the chart icon or history button on any exercise to open its history. You can also access it from the exercise detail view.
The Exercise History opens as a bottom sheet that covers most of the screen.
What You See
At the top: the exercise name.
Below that: filter tabs to switch between different performance metrics:
Filter | What it tracks |
1RM | Your estimated one-rep max (the heaviest weight you could lift for a single rep) |
Duration x Resistance | The product of your resistance and duration for each set, highlighting your best combined effort |
Maximum resistance | The heaviest weight or highest resistance level you've ever used |
Maximum duration | The longest time or highest rep count you've achieved in a single set |
Total volume | The sum of weight x reps across all sets in a single workout |
The Summary Cards
Two side-by-side cards sit below the filter tabs:
Last: Your most recent value for the selected metric, with the date
Best: Your all-time best value for the selected metric, with the date
Tap either card to jump directly to that workout entry in the list below.
When "Last" and "Best" are the same, it means your most recent performance is also your all-time record. That's a great sign.
The Progression Graph
A line graph shows your values over time. Each data point represents one workout where you performed this exercise.
The X-axis is time (dates)
The Y-axis is the value for your selected metric
Tap or hover on any point to highlight that entry in the list below
As you scroll through the list, the graph highlights the corresponding data point
The History List
Below the graph, each entry shows:
The workout name
The date
The value for your selected metric (with unit)
Tap any entry to open a detailed breakdown.
Detailed Breakdown (Per-Workout)
When you tap an entry, a second sheet opens showing:
Exercise name and workout name
Program name (if applicable)
Date and time
Navigation arrows (left/right) to browse through your workout history for this exercise
Filter tabs (same as the main view) to switch metrics
Then the stats:
Exercise record: Your best overall value for this exercise across all workouts
Set record: Your best single set, including which set number it was (e.g., "Set n.3")
Average: Your mean performance across all sets in that specific workout
And finally, a set-by-set table showing every set with:
Set number
Resistance value (weight, level, etc.) with unit
Duration/reps value with unit
Computed stat value (e.g., estimated 1RM for that set)
The best set in the table is highlighted in your accent color.
Understanding Your Stats
Here's what each metric actually means:
1RM (One Rep Max)
Your estimated maximum weight for a single repetition. Gymkee calculates it using the Epley formula:
1RM = weight x (1 + reps / 30)
For example, if you bench press 80 kg for 8 reps, your estimated 1RM is 80 x (1 + 8/30) = 101.3 kg.
This metric only appears for exercises that use both weight and reps.
Duration x Resistance (Best Set)
The product of your weight and reps (or time) for a single set. This reflects your best combined effort in one set. A set of 100 kg x 10 reps = 1,000 is more impressive than 50 kg x 15 reps = 750.
Maximum Resistance
The heaviest weight (or highest resistance level) you've ever loaded for this exercise, regardless of reps. If you once did 120 kg for 2 reps, that's your max resistance.
Maximum Duration
The longest time held (for isometric/time-based exercises) or highest rep count (for rep-based exercises) you've achieved in a single set.
Total Volume
The total work done in one session: sum of (weight x reps) across all sets of that exercise in a single workout. If you did 3 sets of 80 kg x 10 reps, your volume is 2,400 kg.
This is the metric that best reflects your overall workload.
Personal Records
Gymkee automatically tracks your personal records for every exercise. You don't need to do anything special.
What Counts as a Record
A personal record is your all-time best value for any metric:
Highest estimated 1RM
Best single set (highest duration x resistance)
Heaviest weight used
Longest duration/highest reps in one set
Highest total volume in one session
Where Records Appear
In the Exercise History view, the "Best" card always shows your current record
In the detailed breakdown, the "Exercise record" and "Set record" lines highlight your best performances
The best set in any workout is highlighted in your accent color in the set table
Building Over Time
Records only count completed sets with valid data. If you skip a set or leave it blank, it won't count toward your records. Log everything accurately and watch your numbers climb.
Planned vs. Actual
When your coach assigns a workout, each set has a prescribed value (what they want you to aim for). When you perform the workout, you log the actual value (what you really did).
In the workout detail view:
Prescribed values represent your coach's targets for that set
Actual values are what you logged during the workout
This comparison helps both you and your coach understand:
Whether the prescribed weights were appropriate
Where you exceeded expectations
Where the program may need adjusting
If you logged more than prescribed, great. If you fell short, that's useful data too. Your coach can see exactly what happened and adapt your next program accordingly.
Restarting a Workout
You can redo any completed workout to try to beat your previous performance.
Open a completed workout from your history
Tap the three-dot menu (top-right corner)
Tap Restart the workout
What happens next depends on your situation:
No workout in progress: The workout starts immediately. The original completed workout stays in your history. The restarted version will appear as a new entry once you finish.
This same workout is already in progress: Gymkee asks if you want to resume your progress or erase and restart from scratch.
A different workout is in progress: Gymkee warns you that starting this new workout will erase your current progress on the other workout. You can choose to erase and start or cancel.
Your coach controls whether the restart option is available. If you don't see it in the menu, restarts are disabled for your account.
Tips
Log every set accurately. Your history is only as good as the data you put in. Skipping sets or rounding numbers makes your progress charts less useful.
Check your 1RM regularly. It's the single best indicator of strength progress on compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench press.
Use "Last vs. Best" as motivation. If your "Last" matches your "Best", you're at peak performance. If there's a gap, you have a clear target.
Look at total volume for hypertrophy. If your goal is muscle growth, volume over time matters more than any single set's weight.
Browse different metrics. The same exercise can tell different stories depending on whether you look at 1RM, max resistance, or total volume. Explore all the filters.
Pull to refresh before checking. If you just finished a workout, pull down on the history list to make sure the latest data has loaded.
Review your feedback scores. Looking back at how you rated satisfaction and fatigue can reveal patterns (e.g., you always feel great after morning sessions).
Troubleshooting
Problem: My workout history is empty
Why it happens: You haven't completed any workouts yet, or the selected filter doesn't match any workouts.
How to fix it: Switch between the Completed, Missed, and Scheduled filters. If all filters are empty, it means your coach hasn't assigned you any workouts yet, or you haven't finished one. Complete your first workout and it will appear here.
Problem: An exercise shows "no history"
Why it happens: Exercise history only appears after you've completed at least one workout containing that exercise with logged set data.
How to fix it: Complete a workout that includes this exercise and make sure you log values for at least one set. The message in Gymkee says: "Complete this exercise in your workout to begin tracking your progress."
Problem: My 1RM filter shows nothing
Why it happens: 1RM requires both a weight (resistance) and reps (duration) to calculate. If the exercise only tracks one dimension (e.g., time-only like a plank, or reps-only like pull-ups without weight), 1RM can't be computed.
How to fix it: Switch to a different metric that fits the exercise type. For time-based exercises, use Maximum duration. For bodyweight exercises without added weight, use Maximum duration or Duration x Resistance.
Problem: My data looks wrong or outdated
Why it happens: Gymkee caches data locally for performance. Occasionally, the local cache may not reflect the latest server data.
How to fix it: Pull down on the list to refresh. If the issue persists, close Gymkee completely and reopen it. If your data still seems off, contact your coach to verify the workout was saved correctly.
Problem: I can't restart a workout
Why it happens: Your coach has disabled the restart option in their settings.
How to fix it: Ask your coach to enable workout restarts. This is a coach-level setting, not something you can change yourself.
Problem: A workout shows "needs to be sent"
Why it happens: You completed the workout but it couldn't be uploaded to Gymkee (usually due to a connection issue at the time).
How to fix it: Open the workout and tap Send this workout. Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Gymkee also tries to resend automatically.
FAQ
Q: Can I delete a workout from my history? No. Completed and missed workouts are part of your permanent training record. They can't be deleted from the app.
Q: Do missed workouts affect my stats? No. Only completed workouts with logged set data count toward your exercise history and personal records. Missed workouts are tracked separately.
Q: How far back does my history go? Your entire workout history since you started using Gymkee is available. There's no time limit. Scroll down to load older entries.
Q: Can I see calories burned for a past workout? Yes. Open the workout and tap the three-dot menu, then View summary. The recap screen shows estimated calories along with other stats like total volume, reps, and muscles worked.
Q: Are my records shared with my coach? Yes. Your coach can see your workout data and performance on their dashboard. This helps them adjust your program based on real results.
Q: Does the 1RM formula work for all exercises? The Epley formula works best for compound strength exercises (bench press, squat, deadlift, overhead press). For isolation exercises or very high rep ranges (above 15-20), the estimate becomes less reliable.
Q: What if I switch coaches? Do I keep my history? Yes. Your workout history belongs to your Gymkee account, not to a specific coach. All your data stays with you.
Q: Can I see my progression for a specific program? Exercise history shows your progression across all workouts where you performed that exercise, regardless of which program it was in. You can see the program name in each entry to identify which program a workout came from.
