Manage Workout Sync (WorkoutKit)
Send compatible upcoming workouts to Apple's Workout app without moving your training history. Open Plan > Settings > Workout Sync to enable export, review what Apple accepted, or turn it off. An enabled setting is not proof that a workout reached Apple Watch.
Check the workout and access
Use Momentum on iPhone or iPad. Workout Sync needs available Apple workout scheduling support, scheduling permission, and a compatible upcoming workout to export. You can review the setting without a compatible workout; enabling it alone may not prompt for permission.
The scope includes eligible workouts from all active training plans and standalone schedules, not just one selected plan. New preferences default to enabled; a previous opt-out stays off. Apple controls scheduling access and capacity.
Strength stays in Momentum: WorkoutKit cannot represent its sets, reps, load, and rest. For endurance, the workout's structure, goals, and alerts must all be supported. A supported sport name alone is not enough.
Choose what to send or remove
Enable or check export
- Open Plan.
- Open Settings from Plan's options menu.
- Tap Workout Sync.
- Tap Enable Workout Sync if it appears.
- If Allow Access appears, tap it to request Apple's scheduling permission.
- Review Apple's request when it appears.
Momentum requests permission while the app is active and an eligible upcoming workout is available, not during a background check. If Review Workout Sync appears, review the broader all-plan scope before choosing Enable Workout Sync or Turn Off.
Review the upcoming workouts
- Tap Scheduled Workouts, Waiting for Space, or Not Supported.
- Open a workout to review its dated Momentum details.
- Return to Workout Sync.
- Tap Sync Now when available to attempt another export check.
Not Yet Scheduled also appears when compatible upcoming workouts have not been accepted. Opening a review row does not start a workout.
Turn export off
- Turn off Sync Scheduled Workouts, or tap Turn Off when that action appears instead.
- Review Turn Off Workout Sync?.
- Tap Turn Off to confirm, or Cancel to keep the setting.
Momentum saves the opt-out and attempts to remove its upcoming exports from Apple's Workout app. Removal does not delete Momentum plans or history, Apple Health workout history, or another app's workouts.
Read acceptance rather than assume delivery
Scheduled Workouts contains upcoming items whose workout content and date match Apple's reported schedule. It does not confirm that a Watch displayed the workout or that you performed it.
Waiting for Space contains workouts beyond Apple's scheduling capacity. Not Supported identifies incompatible workouts. Not Yet Scheduled contains otherwise eligible items without confirmed acceptance, including failed additions.
A completed export check is not a guarantee that every future workout will arrive. Review the individual group and any failure message.
Resolve the state you see
- If Access Needed offers Open Settings, use it to review Momentum's scheduling permission, then return and tap Try Again when offered.
- Restricted and Unavailable describe current scheduling conditions. You can keep planning in Momentum while export is unavailable.
- If an export or schedule load fails, tap Try Again. Do not recreate the workout or delete history to repair export.
- For Waiting for Space, retry after space becomes available. Repeated requests cannot guarantee additional capacity.
- For Not Supported, read the workout's compatibility explanation before changing it. Send strength workouts through Momentum's companion delivery, not WorkoutKit.
- If Turn Off Incomplete appears, tap Retry Removal. If Open Settings appears there, restore scheduling access before retrying removal. The opt-out remains saved while cleanup is pending; do not assume all exports are gone until cleanup completes.
Workout Sync does not run Momentum's strength player. It is also separate from Apple Health import, companion delivery, HealthKit workout mirroring, and account uploads.
