Its quite good actually. I do daily 30 minutes power training lower, upper, core , pause day, repeat. Muscle groups are well used. You slowly rise in weights you can use. All you need is a mat and the weights and a connection to TV if you like. Apple watch tracks heartbeat.Why should it be bad and bashed?

I use it 5 times a week and have been for 4 years, and think it’s great. IMO worth every penny.

I personally like it, you do have to have your own set of weights for optimal experience … hopefully they won’t ruin it before winter when it gets the most usage 🥶 Like a beast! Like a boss 😎

It's poorly executed. Apple needs to completely overhaul the service. It needs better structured classes.
The app UI has always sucked (recently it's gotten a tad better), but it's too little too late. Apple really dropped the ball with it.

The Workouts app needs to have the ability to track different use for exercise type with the weight, reps, sets etc.

I want them to keep the idea of having a fitness coach, and to display your heart rate stats on screen when doing a workout etc. All of that is cool, but man it's proper basic in everything else.
