Customize Your IPhone’s Fitness Summary to Suit Your Workouts

Posted on by

Finally, in iOS 18, you can customize the Fitness app summary to your liking. Previously, when you opened the app, it would show a summary of the workouts that Apple wanted to highlight, even if you weren’t using them. Now you can add workouts, metrics and cards that really interest you, while getting rid of those that don’t interest you. This is great news because fitness is a deeply personal journey, and the new feature allows you to focus only on the goals that matter to you.

On an iPhone running iOS 18, open the Fitness app. You’ll be taken to the Summary page, and at the bottom you’ll see a prompt asking you to edit it. If you don’t see this prompt, select the Summary icon at the bottom of the page. When you’re ready to add new cards, click Edit Summary and the cards on the page will start to wiggle.

Then click the Add button in the top left corner of the page. Take a couple of minutes to browse through the card options. You can tap any card to see the types of data it can display. For example, the Steps card allows you to see the number of steps and total distance traveled. Once you’ve selected the card you want to add, click Add Card .

You can add cards for the following data points:

  • Steps

  • Sessions (registered training)

  • Training load

  • Trends

  • Sharing (to show your friends’ activity)

  • Awards

  • Running

  • Cycling

  • Swimming

  • Hiking

  • Walk

  • Attentiveness

I used this feature to add run and walk time cards to my summary because I care more about time spent than distance traveled.

You can also remove unnecessary cards from the Summary page in the Fitness app on iPhone. This allows you to get organized and focus on the data that really matters to you. To do this, scroll to the bottom of the Summary page and tap Edit Summary . When cards wobble, click the “-“ button in the top left corner of any card to remove it. This way you can get rid of unnecessary statistics.

The final step to customizing the Summary page in the Fitness app on your iPhone is to rearrange the order of the cards to prioritize important stats. Please note that you cannot move or delete the Activity Ring card located at the top, but all the others can be moved or deleted. To change the order of these cards, scroll to the bottom of the Summary page in the Fitness app and select Edit Summary . As the icons wiggle, hold and move any card to change its position on the page.

That’s it! Your fitness app’s Summary page will now be tailored to your activity—you might even use it more often than before.
