Your workouts add up. See how far you’ve come this week—and what you can do next. MET Goals turns workouts from Apple Health into a clear weekly activity goal. Follow your progress, find a way to close the gap, and build a routine that fits your life. Whether you enjoy running, walking, cycling or a mix of activities, see your effort in one place. ONE WEEK. ONE CLEAR GOAL. A single workout tells only part of the story. Your weekly dashboard brings your activity together, showing the MET-hours you’ve accumulated and how much remains toward your target. Check in after a workout or use your progress to plan the rest of your week. YOUR WORKOUTS, AUTOMATICALLY SYNCED Keep recording workouts with Apple Watch or compatible fitness apps that save workouts to Apple Health. With your permission, MET Goals reads those workouts and brings them into your activity history—without entering the same session again. KNOW YOUR NEXT STEP Wondering how to work toward your remaining goal? See estimated walking, running and cycling durations based on the gap. Choose an activity that fits your day, whether that means a walk outside, a run or a bike ride. A TARGET YOU CAN ADJUST Choose a weekly MET-hour target that suits your routine. Start with a manageable goal, then adjust it as your activity changes. Your dashboard keeps the target and your progress visible together. UNDERSTAND THE EFFORT BEHIND THE MINUTES Different activities involve different levels of effort. MET-hours combine an activity’s estimated intensity with its duration, giving you another way to understand your weekly movement. MET stands for metabolic equivalent. One MET represents the energy used at rest. An activity estimated at 4 METs for half an hour contributes 2 MET-hours. These values are estimates, not a direct measurement of your personal fitness or health. SEE YOUR ROUTINE OVER TIME Explore your history by week, month and year. Review individual workouts, compare activity totals and follow your weekly goal streaks. Use the patterns to understand your routine and keep showing up, one week at a time. KEEP YOUR GOAL IN VIEW Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets to check your progress at a glance. A quick look helps you stay connected to your weekly target throughout the day. YOUR HEALTH DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE MET Goals keeps your health data on your device. You control access through Apple Health permissions. Make this week’s movement easier to follow. Download MET Goals and start working toward your next weekly goal. REQUIREMENTS & PURCHASES Apple Health permission and compatible workout data are needed for automatic syncing. Workouts from other apps must be saved to Apple Health to appear in MET Goals. Some features require METs Pro, available as an in-app purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FITIV Pulse at 4.6 against MET Goals's 4.0. FITIV Pulse also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). MET Goals's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FITIV Pulse sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and MET Goals sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FITIV Pulse holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FITIV Pulse has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of FITIV Pulse's written reviews are positive against 100% of MET Goals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FITIV Pulse ships an update fortnightly, MET Goals every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
