Delete a workout from your Apple Watch in one of two ways, as described in this article.
- Fitness app: Show More > swipe right to left on workout > Delete > choose Delete Workout & Data or Delete Workout Only.
- Health app: Show All Health Data > Workouts > Show All Data.
The Apple Watch’s ability to record workouts is one of its most helpful features because it enables you to achieve your fitness objectives. A workout on your Apple Watch can be deleted at any time from the Health or Fitness apps on your iPhone. Here is how to delete a workout on the apple watch.
How to Delete Workouts on Apple Watch Using the Fitness App?
On Apple Watch, are workouts erasable? Even though your Apple Watch records your workouts, you can’t remove them from there. Since your Watch data syncs with your iPhone, you’ll need to use the Fitness and Health apps on your phone to delete workouts. Joining our free Tip of the Day Newsletter will give you access to more information about the best fitness features of your Apple Watch.
Now, here’s how to delete a workout on Apple Watch by using your iPhone Fitness app:
- Open the Fitness app.
- Next to the Workouts section, tap Show More.
- To delete a workout, swipe left on it.
- Tap Delete.
- Choose whether you want to remove the workout along with any data it generated or just the workout itself.
How to Delete a Workout on Apple Watch Using the Health App?
You can find and remove workout data from your iPhone in additional locations besides the Fitness app. If your Apple Watch workouts are being relayed over to your iPhone, the data is being stored in the Health application as well. You can delete both the workout itself and the information that is used by third-party workout apps and activity rings.
- Open the Health app.
- Go to the Summary tab.
- Scroll down and tap on Show All Health Data.
- Tap on Workouts.
- Scroll down and tap on Show All Data.
- Delete a workout.
As with the previous option, you can delete a workout in two different ways: swipe left all the way until the workout is deleted or swipe left only a bit on it, to reveal the Delete button, and then tap on it. That does not, however, immediately eliminate the workout and the data that goes along with it. After hitting Delete, you’ll be faced with the same two options as mentioned before:
- Delete Workout & Data: Remove workout from Fitness and data from Health
- Delete Workout Only: Remove workout only from Fitness
How Do I Change a Workout Goal on Apple Watch?
Unfortunately, you cannot modify a workout objective for a session that is already underway.
However, you can adjust the goal before you start by tapping the More (three horizontal dots) menu in the upper-right of the workout tile before it starts. Then, select Calories or Time, and then use the With Digital Crown as the cap. Then, tap Start to get underway.
Why Does Apple Watch Keep Pausing My Workout?
The Apple Watch probably isn’t picking up on anything that would indicate you’re still working out, such as movement or an elevated heart rate, if you frequently get inquiries about whether your workout is over while you’re working out. In some circumstances, you can resolve the issue by adjusting the fit or placement of your Apple Watch on your wrist.
If you’re getting false inputs while exercising that might be hitting the pause “button,” turn on Water Lock by swiping up on the watch face and selecting the icon shaped like a raindrop. This setting disables all inputs to the screen until the Digital Crown is turned.
Conclusion
You can now quickly and easily delete a workout from your Apple Watch if you ever need to.
The Fitness application is the simplest of the two methods for removing a workout, so even though there are two options, we suggest using it first. However, you always have the choice to delete workout data from the Health application if there are problems with Fitness.
