You can finally customize the Fitness app's summaries to your liking in iOS 18. Previously, opening the app would show a summary of the workouts Apple wanted to highlight, even if you don't use them. Now, you can add workouts, metrics, and cards that you actually care about, while getting rid of the ones that don't interest you. This is great news, as fitness is a deeply personal journey and the new feature allows you to only focus on the goals that matter to you.
With an iPhone running iOS 18, open the Fitness app. It'll take you to the Summary page, and at the bottom, you should see a prompt asking you to edit it. If you don't see this prompt, select the Summary icon at the bottom of the page. When you're ready to add new cards, click Edit Summary, and the page's cards will start jiggling.
Next, tap the Add button in the top-left corner of the page. Take a couple minutes to scroll through your card options. You can tap any card to see the types of data it can display. For example, the Steps card lets you see the number of your steps and the total distance covered. Once you've selected the a card you want to add, tap Add Card.
You can add cards for the following data points:
Steps
Sessions (logged workouts)
Training Load
Trends
Sharing (to display your friends' activity)
Awards
Running
Cycling
Swimming
Hiking
Walking
Mindfulness
I've used this feature to add running time and walking time cards to my summary, since I care more about time spent than distance covered.
You can also remove unwanted cards from the Summary page in your iPhone's Fitness app. This lets you clean up the clutter and focus on the data you actually care about. To do this, scroll to the bottom of the Summary page and tap Edit Summary. When the cards are jiggling, tap the - button in the top-left corner of any card to delete it. This way, you can get rid of irrelevant stats.
The last step to customizing the Summary page in your iPhone's Fitness app is reordering the cards to prioritize important stats. Note that you can't move or delete the Activity Rings card that's up top, but all others can be moved or deleted. To reorder these cards, scroll to the bottom of the Summary page in the Fitness app and select Edit Summary. When the icons jiggle, hold and move any card to reorder its place on the page.
That's it! Your Fitness app's Summary page will now be tailored to your activity—you might even find yourself using it more often than before.
