Vertical 2 - strength training
-
I really love my Suunto Race 2 and thinking of upgrading to Vertical 2, but I’m having trouble with strength training. I’m trying to create structured weight workouts in the app and sync them to my watch, but I can’t seem to do it. I can create an interval workout, but that isn’t the same thing.
Right now I’m using three sport modes for strength-type work: Calisthenics for core, Spotter (Gym) for one structured workout, and Strength Exercises for another. The problem is that I have about six main structured workouts, so I’m running out of options.
Two questions for Vertical 2 watch.
Is there a way to build structured weight workouts (exercises, sets, reps) in the app and sync them to the watch?
Can I duplicate a sport mode like Gym or Strength so I can have a separate one for each of my workouts?
Suunto does everything else so well, so I’d love to find a solution for strength training. Any advice would be much appreciated!

@Jason-M Vertical 2 and Race 2 have the same software

@Jason-M There are a few SuuntoPlus apps that can do what you’re looking for.
But I find them not very practical to use. I just use the “Cross Training” sport mode with the GymTimer app to get a countdown for rest periods.
For exercises, sets, reps, and my workout log, I just use the notes on my phone.

@Jason-M yeah, I have the same issue. I see how to do it in Training Peaks, but apparently that requires a premium TP account. I did not think getting a Suunto watch would require also paying for premium TP just to make a simple strength workout so I’m hoping you get some useful replies
