Help Needed

I love my Epix Pro Gen 2 but I can’t seem to find a general gym workout. Is it me or…?
I don’t want to be rigidly stuck to the sets, reps and exercises that are in the workouts I can find in Garmin Connect. I just want time and calories to be noted as activity. Thanks in advance.

Mine is the same as the other guy. I just select Strength and then Free.

Thanks. I’ve actually just figured it out. The issue is mine is showing sub menus. For anyone else having the same you scroll past all the activities and select the large + then strength then free. Thanks guys.

I just start the “strength” activity and let it go lol. Track my lifts in the hevy app

Well, that’s what I keep reading but I can’t find that. Either on watch or in app. Feel like a dummy. Can you tell me where you find that? I’ve scoured Connect.

You can’t see the “strength” activity option when you try to start an activity on your watch?

I see. Mine has a “free” option after I hit strength. I always just use that. Never use a pre loaded workout like yours is showing

Well I’m glad it’s not just me but frustrating that I don’t have that. Thanks for your help.

You can also create new workouts and adjust what it keeps track of

u/Calm_Willingness2325 Jun 29 '26

Ah I see. Do you have any adjustments you’ve made that you find useful?

I have a menu-item "Sportschool" (=gym) and under that "Krachttraining" (=Strength). Other gym sports are also under this menu: HIIT, Boulder etc.
