Progress tiles & charts

Readiness, your week, strength, weight. Checked against build 266.

Progress tile grid

The Progress tab's dashboard: tiles grouped into Showing up, In the gym, Fuel & body and Recovery, plus Readiness and Your week.

WhereProgress

What it is

The Progress tab opens on a grid of tiles: Readiness and Your week side by side, then Showing up (consistency, sessions and training volume), In the gym (Strength history, Muscle-group tiles and charts, Rest discipline), Fuel & body (Energy balance, Body weight chart, What goes with what) and Recovery (sleep, resting heart rate and cardio fitness), then your sports and Your activities.

Why it helps

Everything about your training, food and recovery lives on one tab, at a glance, without digging through separate screens.

The Progress tab's tile grid, showing Readiness and Your week side by side, then the Showing up and In the gym sections
Everything about your training, food and recovery, on one tab.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab.
  2. Tap any tile to open its detail, chart and explainer.

Tips

  • A tile that has nothing to show yet still opens — it explains what it needs rather than sitting there blank.
  • While Strathlon can't see your workouts from other apps, or something is stopping them arriving, a card sits above the tiles to say so: see Workouts from other apps.

Tile explainers with Learn more

Every tile's detail screen has an ⓘ explaining what it is, how to read yours, where it comes from and why it matters.

WhereProgresstile detailⓘ

What it is

Tap the ⓘ on a tile's detail screen for What it is, How to read yours (where the metric has one), Where it comes from and Why it matters, with a Learn more link where one exists.

Why it helps

You can understand any figure on Progress without leaving the tile, in the app's own words for that exact metric.

How to use it

  1. Open any tile's detail screen from the Progress tab.
  2. Tap the ⓘ.
  3. Read the blocks that apply, and tap Learn more if it's shown.

Tips

  • A tile with nothing logged yet shows a How to get it going block instead, so an empty tile still tells you what to do next.

Readiness

A free 0–100 score blending your sleep, resting heart rate and between-set recovery, with a full breakdown one tap in.

WhereProgressReadinessYour readiness

What it is

The Readiness tile shows a score and a band (for example Ready). Tap it for Your readiness, a ring, WHAT WENT INTO IT with a line per signal, any caveats that apply, and Ask the coach about this.

Why it helps

One free number tells you, at a glance, whether today is a good day to push hard or ease off, worked out from your own recent recovery signals rather than guesswork.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab. Readiness sits at the top left, beside Your week.
  2. The Your readiness sheet showing a score ring, a band such as Ready, a breakdown of what went into it, and an Ask the coach about this button
    One score, and exactly what fed into it.
    Tap it for Your readiness, with the score ring, band and WHAT WENT INTO IT breakdown.
  3. Tap Ask the coach about this for the coach's read on it.

Tips

  • A caveat banner appears when relevant — for example when the score is built from only one signal, or a cycle phase is affecting it.

Good to know

  • Reads Not enough data yet until it has enough sleep or resting-heart-rate history. It's "a general guide, not a medical measure", as the sheet itself says.
  • If you logged a high body temperature in Apple Health recently, Your readiness adds a note that suggests resting. The score is unchanged.

Your week

A written review of this week or your last 30 days, with a compact stats row and Ask the coach about this.

  • With the subscription

WhereProgressYour week

What it is

Tap the Your week tile, or Your week's ready on the AI Coach tab, for Your progress: a segment for This week or Last 30 days, a written narrative, a compact stats row (which also shows your Move ring, Stand hours, Mindful minutes, Flights climbed and Avg blood pressure when Apple Health holds them for the period), and Ask the coach about this.

Why it helps

It reads back your week or month in plain English, using your own numbers, rather than leaving you to piece it together from separate tiles.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab and tap Your week, or tap Your week's ready on the AI Coach tab.
  2. Read the narrative, then switch to Last 30 days for the longer view.
  3. Tap Ask the coach about this to keep asking about that period.

Tips

  • Reopening it shows the review you already have rather than writing a new one. Tap the refresh icon if you want it rewritten.
  • When food another app saved to Apple Health counted toward your Energy balance, a line under the figures says on how many days.

Good to know

  • The written narrative needs the subscription. Without it you see a personalised sample and a button to see plans instead.

Unread review dot

A small red dot on the Progress tab bar icon means a weekly review is ready and you haven't read it yet.

Wheretab barProgress

What it is

A small red dot appears on the Progress icon in the tab bar when a new weekly review is ready. Opening Your week clears it.

Why it helps

It's a one-glance reminder that something new is waiting, without a notification you have to act on straight away.

When it happens

As soon as a new weekly review has enough data to be worth opening.

Good to know

  • Only the Progress tab carries this dot — it marks a review specifically, not general unread activity.

Consistency, Sessions and Training volume

Three tiles under Showing up: how regularly you train, how many sessions, and how much weight you're lifting over time.

WhereProgressShowing up

What it is

Consistency shows up to twelve weeks as blocks with your longest streak and completion rate. Sessions shows the last 7 days' session count against your own average, which counts the weeks you didn't train too. Training volume shows the weight lifted over the last 7 days.

Why it helps

Showing up is the strongest predictor of progress, so this section puts it first, with sessions and tonnage right beside it.

The Showing up section of the Progress tab with Consistency, Sessions and Training volume tiles
Showing up, in three figures.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab and find Showing up.
  2. Tap Consistency, Sessions or Training volume for its full chart.
  3. Use Ask the coach about this on any of them for the coach's read.

Tips

  • A week with nothing logged shows as empty on the Sessions tile and its full chart, never as a repeat of an earlier week's count.
  • If you haven't trained for a while, the Sessions tile says how long, for example No sessions in the last 9 weeks (or in months, for a longer gap). No training weeks yet is kept for someone who has never trained.

Good to know

  • Training volume only counts sets logged with a weight — sets logged without one don't add to the total, and the tile says so.

Strength history

Weight lifted over the last 12 weeks, called Improving, Holding or Declining, with which movements are climbing.

WhereProgressIn the gymStrength history

What it is

The Strength history tile shows weight lifted for the latest logged week and a call — Improving, Holding or Declining — with how many of your movements are climbing. Tap it to open your four muscle groups.

Why it helps

One tile tells you, in one word, whether your lifting is trending up, holding steady or slipping, across everything you train.

The Strength history tile with the weight lifted this week, a call such as Holding, and a small sparkline.
One word for how your lifting is trending.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab and find Strength history under In the gym.
  2. Read the call and the weight lifted for the latest week.
  3. Tap it to open the four muscle groups, or use Ask the coach about this.

Tips

  • A movement the app couldn't match to a muscle group still counts toward this tile's total — a footnote says how many, and which group screen to check for the rest.

Good to know

  • Reads No lifts logged until you've logged weighted sets. Before enough sessions have repeated, it reads Building your trend rather than guessing a direction.

Muscle-group tiles and charts

Upper body, Lower body, Back and Core each get their own call and, with the subscription, a chart per movement.

WhereProgressIn the gymStrength historygroup tile

What it is

Opening Strength history shows four tiles — Upper body, Lower body, Back, Core — each called Improving, Holding or Declining. Tap a group to see its weekly volume and a chart per movement.

Why it helps

Strength history's overall word is one number for everything you lift; these four break it down by body area so you can see which part of your training is actually moving.

How to use it

  1. Open Strength history on the Progress tab.
  2. Read each of the four group tiles' calls.
  3. The Upper body group screen showing weekly volume and a chart per movement, each in its own colour
    Which movements in this group are actually climbing.
    Tap a group for its weekly volume and a chart per movement, each one you can highlight and tap.

Tips

  • A group trained with bodyweight moves only (most Core work) is still called and charted — it compares your reps, not a weight.

Good to know

  • Opening a group's per-movement charts needs the subscription; the four tiles' calls are free.

Rest discipline

How your actual rest between sets compares with what your plan prescribed.

WhereProgressIn the gymRest discipline

What it is

The Rest discipline tile is a fill bar of your average rest against your plan's target, with a verdict — On plan, Resting long, Resting short or Long and recovered.

Why it helps

Resting too short can undercut recovery between sets; resting too long stretches a session out for no benefit — this tile tells you which, if either, is happening.

The Rest discipline tile with a fill bar comparing actual rest against planned rest, and a verdict such as On plan
Your actual rest, against what your plan asked for.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab and find Rest discipline under In the gym.
  2. Read the fill bar and verdict, then tap it for the full chart with Last 7 days / Last 30 days.
  3. Use Ask the coach about this for the coach's read.

Tips

  • If you train with an Apple Watch streaming live heart rate, how far your heart rate actually drops between sets lives one tap deeper on the same chart, rather than as a tile of its own.

Good to know

  • Reads No rest data yet until you've logged rested sets.

Energy balance

Calories eaten against calories burned, framed for your own goal — a deficit, surplus or balance, depending what you're going for.

WhereProgressFuel & bodyEnergy balance

What it is

The Energy balance tile shows kcal a day for the latest logged week, framed as a deficit, surplus or balance according to your goal, with a short trend line.

Why it helps

It's the same underlying figure the Tracker's Today card shows, but over time, so you can see whether your eating has actually been tracking your goal or drifting.

The Energy balance tile showing a signed calories-a-day figure with a short trend line
Eaten against burned, framed for your goal.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab and find Energy balance under Fuel & body.
  2. Read the figure and the trend line, then tap it for the full chart.
  3. Use Ask the coach about this for the coach's read.

Tips

  • Without an Apple Watch, the figure uses the same estimated burn the Tracker shows, marked est.\.
  • On a day you logged food in another app that saves to Apple Health, those food calories count toward the balance and the tile adds Includes food logged in other apps. A day with a Strathlon food log uses that log.

Good to know

  • Reads No meals logged until you've logged food, or, if you have logged food but nothing to net it against, says so and points at Apple Health.

Body weight chart

Your actual weight against a predicted line from your logged calories, scrollable and full-screen with pinch-zoom.

WhereProgressFuel & bodyBody weight

What it is

The Body weight card plots your actual weight as a solid line and, where there's enough data, a dashed predicted line from your tracked calorie deficit or surplus. Tap ⤢ for a full-screen view with pinch-zoom and a drag crosshair.

Why it helps

Real weight and predicted weight often diverge — water and glycogen early on, adaptation later — and seeing both together shows whether a gap is expected or worth a closer look.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab and find Body weight under Fuel & body.
  2. Scroll the chart sideways for history, or tap ⤢ for the full-screen view.
  3. Read the legend for what each line and shaded band means.

Tips

  • If a scale that syncs to Apple Health supplies your weight, readings are adopted automatically — no confirmation step. A weight you type yourself stands until Apple Health has a newer reading.

Good to know

  • The chart's trend line and milestones use a smoothed average, so a single unusual reading can't trigger or block a milestone on its own.

Predicted vs actual gap

Under the weight chart, the gap between what your logged calories predicted and what actually happened, with a way to ask the coach why.

  • With the subscription

WhereProgressFuel & bodyBody weightgap card

What it is

A card under Body weight shows Predicted vs actual: ±figure\, with Ask the coach about this beneath it once there's enough data.

Why it helps

It flags when your real weight and your predicted weight have drifted apart, and gives you a one-tap way to ask the coach why.

How to use it

  1. Open Body weight on the Progress tab.
  2. Read Predicted vs actual under the chart.
  3. Tap Ask the coach about this for the coach's read on the gap.

Tips

  • The first time you tap this button without health sharing on, you're offered the switch once; decline and you still get an answer, built from what you've logged.

Good to know

  • Only shows once you have enough weigh-ins and days logged for the gap to mean something.

Mark a missed day from the chart

Tap a red missed-session dot on the weight chart to log that day as trained.

WhereProgressBody weightchartred dot

What it is

A red dot on the Body weight chart marks a day your plan expected a session and none was logged. Tap it for Mark this day as trained?\ and confirm I trained on day\.

Why it helps

Lets you fix a day you actually trained but forgot to log, right from the chart you're already looking at, without navigating elsewhere.

How to use it

  1. On the Body weight chart, tap a red missed-session dot.
  2. Confirm I trained on day\ on the Mark this day as trained?\ prompt.
  3. The dot clears once marked.

Good to know

  • This logs a session for your phase progression only — it does not count toward your streaks, charts or what the coach is told, and it says so before you confirm.

What goes with what

Pick two things you track and see whether they move together, with the coach on hand to explain it.

WhereProgressFuel & bodyWhat goes with what

What it is

The What goes with what card has a menu of pairs to choose from, for example sleep and rest adherence. Pick one and it shows a headline about whether they move together, with Ask the coach about this for the full read.

Why it helps

It's a quick way to check whether two things you track are actually related, without you having to eyeball two separate charts yourself.

How to use it

  1. Open the Progress tab and find What goes with what under Fuel & body.
  2. Tap Choose a pair and pick two things you track.
  3. Read the headline, then tap Ask the coach about this for the full answer.

Tips

  • Tap the ⓘ beside the title for what the card is for and why the answer is a conversation rather than a chart — a scatter plot with a correlation number is an easy way to believe one thing caused another, and this deliberately avoids that.

Good to know

  • The answer doesn't claim one thing caused the other, and names what else could explain the pattern.

Tile window and range

Most tile detail screens let you switch the period shown, either Last 7 days / Last 30 days, or a longer 3M / 6M / 1Y / All range.

WhereProgresstile detailWindow / Range

What it is

A tile's full-screen chart carries a control at the top: Last 7 days / Last 30 days on weekly-history charts (sessions, volume, rest, energy), or 3M / 6M / 1Y / All on longer-history charts.

Why it helps

Lets you zoom out for the bigger picture, or in for what just happened, from the same chart.

The Sessions tile's full screen, with its Last 7 days and Last 30 days choice, the sessions chart and Ask the coach about this.
Tile window and range.

How to use it

  1. Open any tile's full-screen chart.
  2. Tap the segmented control at the top to switch window or range.

Good to know

  • Sleep, resting heart rate and cardio fitness charts have a fixed window instead and show no range control — they always chart the same span, so the window, the axis and the coach are never in disagreement about what's on screen.
