Running a workout on your iPhone


RepVault gives you the flexibility to run workouts directly on your iPhone, whether you’re training with your Apple Watch or just using your phone solo. Here’s how it works in both situations. Want to customize your sessions first? Create your own workout routine or build a complete program before hitting start.


Running a Workout with an Apple Watch Paired

When your Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone and RepVault is installed on both, your workout experience becomes hands-free and deeply integrated with health tracking.

How it works:

  • Start your workout from your iPhone. You can start a workout from your dashboard or routine tab.
  • RepVault on your Apple Watch will automatically launch and stay in sync. See how RepVault works on Apple Watch for more details on tracking and control from your wrist.
  • Use your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete sets, log reps and weight, and view metrics like heart rate and active calories.
  • The iPhone mirrors your progress in real time, showing updated stats, set logged, and workout summaries.

Benefits:

  • Accurate health data from Apple Watch (heart rate, calories)
  • Quick tap controls on your wrist
  • Your phone stays synced without needing to interact with it

Running a Workout Without an Apple Watch

Don’t have your Apple Watch with you? No problem—RepVault runs just as smoothly on iPhone alone.

How it works:

  • Start your workout from your iPhone. You can start a workout from your dashboard or routine tab.
  • Complete sets directly on your iPhone by tapping through each set.
