GPX Workout for iPhone

App summary and purpose

GPX Workout is an iPhone utility created by Marcello Mascia that enables exporting Apple Watch exercise records into GPX files. It fills a gap left by the built-in Apple Watch apps by letting you save runs, rides, and other tracked activities as standard GPX tracks you can keep, edit, or share.

Health data access and export

The app reads workout and route information from HealthKit and converts that data into GPX format. This makes it simple to:

• Open and refine routes in a GPX editor
• Upload workouts to platforms such as Strava
• Share activity files with friends or coaches

Automatic iCloud storage

When iCloud Drive is enabled, GPX Workout places exported files in a dedicated "GPX Workout" folder so your sessions sync across devices. You can browse and manage these files from the Files app on iPhone/iPad or Finder on macOS.

Features at a glance

• Exports Apple Watch workouts to GPX for external analysis
• Automatically saves files to an iCloud Drive folder for cross-device access
• Supports multiple activity types (running, cycling, etc.)
• Directly reads workout records from HealthKit for accurate conversion
• Simple sharing and upload options for third‑party services

Developer note and support

GPX Workout is maintained by a single developer, Marcello Mascia. Although it’s an indie project, he actively welcomes user feedback and provides support for questions or suggestions.

Who will benefit most

This tool is useful for Apple Watch owners who want a local, editable copy of their workouts, want to use specialized GPX tools, or prefer to upload their activities to services that accept GPX files.
