Your personal records

Updated on 2026-10-16

Open Statistics → Records to see your personal bests (PRs). hi.fitness checks every workout you finish and saves a record whenever you beat your earlier best - you never add them by hand.

In the mobile app, the Statistics screen shows the records you set in the last 4 weeks under New in these 4 weeks, one per exercise, newest first. All records opens the whole list on the Records tab of Gym.

What gets tracked

  • Heaviest weight - per exercise: the heaviest set you've completed for that exercise (e.g. Bench Press 100 kg).
  • Exercise tonnage - per exercise: weight × reps over all the sets of that exercise in one workout, counting both dumbbells and both sides.
  • Most reps - per exercise without weight: the most reps you've done in a single set (e.g. Pull-ups 18 reps). It only counts when every set of the exercise is without weight. An exercise with weight has weight and tonnage records.
  • Session tonnage - the most total weight you've lifted in one workout.

The weight record and the tonnage record of the same exercise are one exercise record: after the workout you see them in one row, the notification comes once per exercise, and they count once toward the Personal bests badges.

Because exercise records are tracked per exercise, you can follow your progress on each specific lift over time. Tap a record to jump to that exercise's progression chart and full history.

Use the filter (All / New / Weight / Exercise tonnage / Reps / Tonnage) to focus on one kind of record. Each row shows your new best, what it beat, and the date you set it.

How you find out

The moment you save a workout that beats a best, the Workout saved screen shows your records in one card, one row per exercise: the new result and what it beat. If that workout also earned you a badge, you see the badges first, and Next takes you to Workout saved. You also get a notification afterwards - the record lands in the bell's list and you receive an email summarizing what you beat. A workout you save in the app puts it there already read, since the finish screen has just shown it to you; otherwise the bell rings. If you have a trainer, they're notified too, so they can celebrate it with you. When a trainer logs the session for you, the records are still yours and your bell rings.

Notes

  • Your first workout sets no records. Your first time doing an exercise, and your very first workout, are the starting point: a record is only a result that beats an earlier one.
  • A record is compared with your best result from earlier workouts, by workout date.
  • Weights follow your unit preference (kg or lb) from Settings; only the display changes.
  • Records come from finished workouts saved in the app, so make sure you finish and save a session for it to count.
  • Editing a workout can change its records: a corrected result that no longer beats the earlier one stops being a record, and a new record appears when the correction beats it.
  • Deleting a workout takes the records it set with it, and your previous best is the record again. A badge your history no longer reaches without that workout goes too.
  • On 16 October 2026 we recalculated records from scratch by these rules. The old session sets and session reps records are gone, and records from a first workout were removed.
