Open Workout Tracker respects your privacy and does not automatically export data from your phone. To export data from your device, you will need to follow one of the procedures given below.

Exporting an Individual Workout

  1. Navigate to the workout summary screen and select Export, located at the bottom of the screen. You are automatically taken to the summary screen after stopping an activity. You can also get back to this screen by selecting View from the main screen, then History, followed by the activity you wish to view.
  2. Select the data format. The options are:
  1. Either save the file to your iCloud Drive or email the file to yourself (or someone else).

Note: GPX files will include the gpxtcx extensions, if external sensor data is present. If you are unsure of which format to choose, select GPX File. If the workout you are exporting does not contain any location information then the only option will be a CSV file. This is the case when exporting strength workouts such as pull-ups, push-ups, and squats.

Things To Do With This Data

GPX and TCX files can be uploaded to numerous workout tracking websites, such as Strava or Garmin Connect. A CSV file will contain raw GPS and accelerometer data and is intended for use with Microsoft Excel. The ability to export raw data as a list of comma-separated values exists for those who wish to build their own analytic tools using the data collected on their phone.
