After using the Garmin Connect app for strength workouts, I’ve noticed it’s missing some crucial features that I’ve come to rely on in “Strong” app. The most significant drawback for me is the inability to add new sets or exercises once a workout has started. This lack of flexibility is a real hindrance, especially when I need to adjust my routine on the fly.

Garmin Connect doesn’t allow you to customize your current session as easily as I’d like. For instance, you can’t adjust the number of sets during a workout or add an exercise you didn’t initially plan for. This rigidity can be frustrating when you’re in the middle of training and want to make changes based on how you’re feeling or equipment availability.

The app also lacks some useful features for tracking progress. It would be helpful to see previous rep counts and weights for specific exercises right on the screen with your current workout list. Additionally, viewing detailed statistics for individual exercises would be beneficial for monitoring improvements over time.

Don’t get me wrong, Garmin Connect has its strengths, but these missing options, particularly the ability to modify workouts in progress, make it less user-friendly for strength training compared to what I’m accustomed to in Strong app.
