Workoutzone tracks rule-based strength programs and the Couch to 5K and Couch to 10K running plans on iPhone, with an optional Apple Watch app. Can’t find your answer? Email support@workoutzone.net.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Everything works on iPhone alone, including runs with the screen locked and voice cues. The watch only adds phone-free runs.
How does progression work?
You start at three sets of about half your baseline. After two complete sessions rated Easy or Manageable you get one more rep (or five more seconds for holds), spread across your sets. Incomplete or Difficult sessions repeat the same targets. Weighted exercises climb from 8 to 12 reps, then suggest the next weight; jumps over 10% wait for your OK. You’re prompted to retest every 4 training weeks.
I missed a session. What happens?
Strength sessions that pass without being logged count as skipped — they don’t change your targets, but they reset your streak. A missed run moves to your next training day; the plan never skips ahead. In Calendar you can move a run to the next day or repeat the last one.
How do I connect my watch?
On iPhone, open Settings → Apple Watch → Connect, with Workoutzone open on the watch. If the watch isn’t nearby, the watch shows a 6-character code; enter it in the iPhone app. Codes expire after 10 minutes. You can revoke a watch from Settings at any time.
How do I get a more natural voice?
Workoutzone uses the best voice installed on your device. For the most natural sound, open iOS Settings, search for “Voices”, choose English and download Ava (Premium) or Zoe (Premium). You can pick and preview the voice in Workoutzone Settings → Voice coach.
How do reminders work?
Turn on email and/or notifications in Settings → Daily reminders and pick a time and time zone. You get one reminder on training days when something is still unfinished, and none on rest days. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Changes are saved on your device and sync when you’re back online. Watch runs upload on their own over Wi-Fi or cellular.
Apple Health
Workouts are saved to Apple Health from your iPhone, and watch runs from the watch. Choose what’s saved in Settings → Apple Health. Health data never leaves your devices for our server.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings → Account → Delete account. You can also request deletion by email.
Units
Imperial (lb, mi) is the default. Switch to metric (kg, km) in Settings → Units; every weight and distance updates.
