Exercise details: sets, reps, and weight fields explained
Table of contents
Overview
WyzFit uses three key fields to log your training: sets, reps, and weight. Understanding how each field works keeps your logs clean and helps the app adjust recommendations correctly.
What are sets, reps, and weight?
- Sets: groups of repetitions performed in a row.
- Reps: the number of times you complete the movement in a set.
- Weight: the resistance used for the exercise. For bodyweight movements, log only any added resistance.
How to read the fields
The fields change based on the exercise type. WyzFit labels each movement so you know if numbers apply to one side or both sides.
Unilateral movements
These exercises are performed one side at a time, like single arm presses or split squats.
- Look for labels like "per arm" or "per leg".
- Reps are completed on each side.
- Log the weight for one side, not both combined.
Bilateral movements
Bilateral exercises use both sides together, like squats or deadlifts.
- Reps apply to the full movement.
- The weight field represents total resistance.
Timed intervals
Some movements use time-based intervals instead of reps.
- You will see seconds instead of rep counts.
- Log the time you actually completed.
Bodyweight exercises
- Log reps or time just like any other movement.
- Only enter a weight if you added resistance.
Machine stacks
Some machines use numbered stacks that do not match standard weight increments.
- Check for a conversion chart on or near the machine.
- Log the actual weight, not just the stack number.
FAQ
What if my set feels too easy?

Final tips
- Log what you actually did, not what was suggested.
- Review your history to spot progress trends.
- Adjust only one variable at a time for cleaner feedback.
