exercise app not recording weight lifting workout

I thought the exercise app was suppose to work for weight lifting automatically if you held it up to the equipment before you started. I tried it and it did not work. Any help out there? Or is my expectation incorrect? Thanks.

The gym equipment has to be made to work with the watch, not all gym equipment is. Check with the your gy's people to see if their equipment works with the Apple watch. Also, on the watch in Settings>General>Workout Gym Equipment has to be turned on (green).
