How do I keep my screen on during my workout?
The Auto-Lock Display setting controls whether your phone's screen stays on when you're not actively using it. Disabling this setting keeps your screen on indefinitely. While this consumes more battery life, it makes it possible to see your sets, reps, and weights in the middle of your workout.
You can enable Auto-Lock Display like this on your phone:
- Open StrongLifts
- Tap the Settings tab
- Under Preferences, tap Auto-Lock Display
- Enable Auto-Lock Display
When Auto-Lock Display is on, your screen locks between sets to save battery life. This also prevents accidental touches.
How do I keep the screen of my Apple Watch on during my workouts?
Enable Always On in your Apple Watch settings.
- Press the Digital Crown of your watch until the Home Screen appears
- Tap the Settings app then go to Display & Brightness
- Scroll down, then tap Always On.
- Tap Always On to turn on the feature.
Please note that Always On consumes more battery. That's why this setting isn't available when your watch is in low power or theater mode (which you can turn off in the control center).

iOS
- Go to your device settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock
- Choose a length of time.
