Strength Training option on series 4 watch...where’s it gone?

I have just updated my series 1 watch to the series 4 & am disappointed to discover that the Strength Training option is not available. Is there something I’ve missed in the setup or have Apple in their ‘wisdom’ removed this? I’m sure I’m not the only strength trainer who is miffed at this. Especially as there’s 3 variations for tracking a walk!


Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

The built-in Workout app on Apple Watch does not include strength training as a main activity type, but workouts can still be named as Strength Training.


Record your workout by selecting Other as the activity type. Upon ending the workout, tap on the option to Name Workout, where available labels include Strength Training.


"Other" workouts that have previously been named will become available to repeat within the Workout app, complete with their previously selected naming label.
