Exercise is built for people who want to define their own workouts instead of flattening everything into a generic timer or checklist. It supports timed holds, sets, reps, rest intervals, distance, notes, editable active sessions, reusable templates, circuits, supersets, routines, reminders, insights, records, streaks, HealthKit, Live Activities, export, import with Premium access, and on-device AI workout generation.

Exercise pricing:
- Free: up to 3 saved workout templates and unlimited workout logging, including ad hoc sessions.
- Premium: $2.99/month or $19.99/year, with 7 days of Premium access after install without starting a subscription.

Exercise privacy and support:
- Exercise stores workout data locally by default.
- Optional iCloud sync can sync workouts through the user's own iCloud account.
- Exercise does not use ads or third-party tracking SDKs in the app.
- HealthKit is optional and writes limited workout timing, activity type, measured energy when available, optional effort data, and sync metadata.
