Looking for the right iPhone app... HIIT, weights, HR w/ Strava integration

Q: Anyone out there know of an app for iPhone that handles:

  • HIIT
  • mild weight training (kettle, dumb, etc)
  • HR recording
  • Strava integration

Ideally the interface would support screen interface would serve as

  • planner,
  • player and
  • recorder for HIIT & Weights

TIA,

Dave

Not what you requested but Strong app on iPhone is what I’ve used for tracking for over a decade. Believe the Apple Watch companion app will track HR, but its a new feature and I haven’t tried it.

Hi @WindWarrior

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately Strong and it successor Hevy don’t do HR.

I’ll keep looking though. Just can’t believe that no one else has noticed this niche feature is lacking.

The Strong Apple Watch app supposedly does HR. But I don’t wear a watch because the kettlebell sits on wrist during certain training.

Over on the StrongFirst forum most folks that bother tracking HR use Polar strap and Polar app.

I track purely out of curiosity. Started with Wahoo app on iPhone, in parallel with Strong app for tracking sets/reps/weight. Now using my Garmin 1050 because it records temperature which changes in my garage throughout the year. And I can easily see the 1050 when lying on my back during Turkish Getups. Plus the Garmin 1050 is running a 3rd party HRV app which might be interesting.

I ran into the same gap. What’s worked for me is using Intervals Pro on the Watch for HIIT and Gymaholic for weights, both log HR to Apple Health. Then HealthFit pushes everything to Strava as HIIT or Weight Training with the HR graph intact. If you don’t want two apps, Fitbod’s Watch app also records HR and exports cleanly via HealthFit.

Side note: when I upgraded my iPhone to make this setup smoother, I sold the old one through https://www.sellmyphone.co.uk/. They compare UK recyclers, sent a freepost pack, and I got the payout pretty quick.

Hevy does do HR via Apple Watch, and syncs that data with Apple Health. Looking for a good method to get that data into intervals.icu.

I use RunGap for this. Love this little app :slightly_smiling_face:

Feel free to give this a go.
