With iOS 18, you can finally customize your fitness app overview to your liking. Previously, when you opened the app, you would see a summary of workouts that Apple wanted to highlight, even if you weren’t using them. Now you can add the workouts, metrics, and cards that actually interest you, and remove the ones that don’t. This is great news because fitness is a very personal journey and new features allow you to focus on only the goals that are important to you.

On your iPhone running iOS 18, open the Fitness app. The (Summary) page appears with a prompt to edit at the bottom of it. If you do not see this prompt, select the (Summary) icon at the bottom of the page. When you’re ready to add a new card, click (Edit Summary) and the cards on the page will start shaking.
Then tap the Add button in the top left corner of the page. Please take a few minutes to scroll through the card options. You can tap a card to see what kind of data it can display. For example, the (Steps) card allows you to see your steps and total distance traveled. Once you have selected the card you want to add, tap Add Card.

This allows you to remove irrelevant statistics.

The final step in customizing your iPhone’s fitness app overview page is to change the order of the cards to prioritize important stats. Note that the top Activity Ring card cannot be moved or deleted, but all other cards can be moved or deleted. To change the order of these cards, scroll to the bottom of the (Overview) page in the Fitness app and select (Edit Overview). If the icon is shaking, press and hold the card to move it and reorder its position on the page.
that’s it! Your fitness app’s overview page will now adjust to your activity, and you may find yourself using the page more often than before.
