1.11.0 — from warm-up to finish
A workout starts before the first working set, and it doesn't always end with the last one. There is a plan to understand, a warm-up to get through, and sometimes cardio still to do. The app should help those pieces fit together.
Ollim 1.11.0 brings the whole visit into one flow, with a shorter setup, clearer ways to change your program, and fewer reasons to reach for your phone while you train.
Release status: 1.11.0 (build 36) has been uploaded to TestFlight for testing. This post covers that update; public App Store availability may follow separately.
A simpler start
Your coach needs to know enough to build a useful plan. That shouldn't mean answering a long questionnaire or identifying every machine in the gym.
- Shorter setup. Start with your goals, experience, schedule, available time and equipment.
- Broader equipment choices. Select the main equipment you have, including cables, instead of working through a long inventory.
- Days and frequency are separate. The days you could train and the number of sessions you want each week are different answers.
- A plan for the whole visit. General warm-up, exercise preparation and attached cardio are accounted for alongside lifting.
See the whole program. Change what doesn't fit.
Before starting, you can review all your workouts in one scrollable view. If an exercise isn't right for you, tap it to look at alternatives. If several need changing, select them together.
- Review exercises, sets and repetitions without moving through a series of screens.
- Replace one exercise or make several changes together.
- Tap the play button beside an exercise to watch its demo, when one is available.
- Read a short Why this workout explanation and the roles of the exercises in it.
The explanations are there to make the actual plan easier to understand. You shouldn't need to read a wall of text before deciding whether it fits your day.
Warm-up → lifting → cardio
When your workout includes general warm-up and post-lifting cardio, Ollim now carries you through them before showing the final summary.
- Warm-up: follow the prescribed timer, then start lifting or skip the warm-up.
- Lifting: use the familiar set log and controls. Exercise preparation sets remain separate from general warm-up.
- Cardio: continue into the attached session, choose your activity and view an available demo.
- Finish: complete or skip the attached cardio, then see your workout summary.
If you leave with cardio unfinished, you can return to it from Today. If no cardio is attached, finishing your lifting takes you straight to the summary.
Controls on your Lock Screen
You can now act directly from the Live Activity card, without expanding a notification first.
- During warm-up: Keep warming up or Start lifting.
- During cardio: Pause or Finish cardio.
- While paused: Keep going or Finish cardio.
Goal and inactivity reminders also offer a choice about what to do next. Reaching a timer's end doesn't automatically finish your workout.
Apple Watch notification delivery depends on your device settings and whether your phone is locked and your Watch is being worn. These are not separate alerts guaranteed to ring on both devices at once.
More room for your set log
The large timer stays. The muscle map moves into a compact, tappable preview so it doesn't push your logged sets out of view. Open it when you want more detail; keep the familiar bottom controls close while you train.
Nutrition remains your choice
You can use Ollim for training alone or include nutrition coaching. This update simplifies nutrition setup and the Body Fuel view for calorie and protein targets. Height and weight units can be selected independently, too.
Bug fixes and reliability
- Improved program start-date handling and recovery when exercise alternatives need refreshing.
- Removed repeated program messages and made plan-editing actions easier to find.
- Improved recovery between workout stages and retries when saving attached cardio.
- Prevented duplicate linked cardio records on save retries.
- Corrected elapsed-time display after cardio pauses.
- Dismissed the completed lifting card when cardio follows, keeping the current controls visible.
If you're testing build 36, try the complete journey: warm up, log your lifting, pause and resume cardio from the Lock Screen, then finish. Check that the app returns to the right stage and saves the cardio once. That's the experience this release is built around.
