Equipment Profiles
Equipment profiles let you configure the specific gear you train with — resistance bands, kettlebells, machines, and bench angles. This makes logging faster and your data more meaningful.
Why profiles matter
Without profiles, logging a band exercise means typing "red band, ~40 lbs" every time. With a profile, you tap "Red Band" from your list and the tension is recorded automatically.
More importantly, profiles enable accurate tracking over time:
- Compare performance on the same machine across sessions
- Know exactly which kettlebell you used when reviewing old workouts
- Ensure band tension is recorded consistently
Equipment types
| Type | What you configure | Used with |
|---|---|---|
| Bands | Name, color, tension (lbs/kg) | Band resistance type |
| Kettlebells | Weight, label | Kettlebell resistance type |
| Machines | Name, gym, pin settings, equivalent weight | Machine resistance type |
| Bench Angles | Name, degrees | Angle resistance type |
Setting up profiles
Navigate to Settings > Equipment to configure your profiles. Add, edit, or remove profiles at any time.
Profiles sync across devices — set them up once and they're available on both web and mobile.
Using profiles during logging
When you log a set with a non-weight resistance type, HyperIron shows your configured profiles as quick-select options instead of requiring manual entry.
Equipment context
Beyond profiles, every set can include optional equipment context — grip width, grip type, stance, attachment, bar type, seat position, and more. This metadata helps you reproduce the exact same setup next time.
