Historical Performance gives you a single place to review every movement and benchmark result logged through workouts, instead of digging back through individual sessions. Owners and Coaches can see it in Kilo GMS on each athlete's profile, with a few extra comparison metrics added for coaching. In Phase 2 of the release, Athletes will be able to view it in the athlete app;
What you can do with Historical Performance

Open the complete history of any single movement or benchmark
See an athlete's Estimated One Rep Max and training percentages for strength movements
Spot new personal records as they happen with the PR badge
Compare an athlete's latest result against their best result from the Workout Tracker tab
Review a past workout's full details without leaving the athlete's profile
Where you'll find Historical Performance
Historical Performance pulls from the same underlying results whether you're looking at it in the athlete app or in Kilo GMS. There are three entry points:
View History, shown to an athlete while they're logging a result, before they submit it. It shows their last 5 results for that movement or benchmark plus a button to open the full history.
Workouts, a tab in My Events in the athlete app, alongside Upcoming and Past. This opens the full Historical Performance list for that athlete.
Workout Tracker, a tab on the athlete's profile in Kilo GMS, for coaches, owners, and staff.
NoteIf an athlete has no prior results for a movement or benchmark, View History shows "No previous results yet. Log this result to start tracking your history." instead of a results list, and the View Full History button doesn't appear.
How do I view an athlete's history in Kilo GMS?
Open the athlete's profile.
Select the Workout Tracker tab (it sits right after Attendance in the tab bar).
Review the header for a quick summary: total PRs and the athlete's last logged activity.
Use the Type and Date Range filters to narrow the list, or search for a specific movement or benchmark.
Select View More on any row to open its full history.
Select the Workout Tracker tab (it sits right after Attendance in the tab bar).
All Kilo GMS roles (owners, coaches, and staff) see the same Workout Tracker view. There's no separate permission level for this tab.
If an athlete hasn't logged any results yet, the Workout Tracker tab shows "This athlete hasn't logged any results yet. Results will appear here once they start logging workouts from the athlete app," and the header shows Total PRs: 0 and Last activity: —.
Understanding the Historical Table
Each row in the Workout Tracker table represents one movement or benchmark, tracked by its own scoring type. Columns:
Name. If an athlete has logged a movement under more than one scoring type (for example, Back Squat tracked by both weight and by time), each scoring type gets its own row, labeled with the scoring type so it's clear why the same movement name appears twice.
Type. Movement or Benchmark.
Last Result. The most recently logged result, not necessarily the athlete's best.
Best Result. The athlete's best result on record. For benchmarks with levels (RX, Scaled, RX+), this shows the best result at the highest level the athlete has attempted, labeled with that level.
Last Date. The date of the most recent result.
View More. Opens the full history for that row.
The Workout Side Panel
Selecting a result from a movement or benchmark's history opens a side panel rather than taking you away from the athlete's profile. The panel shows the workout summary, its sections, the movement or benchmark details, athlete notes, coach notes, and scoring types, so you can review the full context of that session without losing your place in the Workout Tracker.
Closing the panel returns you to the movement or benchmark history you were viewing.
Coming Soon (phase 2) - What will an athlete see in the app?
Because you'll likely field questions about it, here's the athlete-facing side of the same feature.
Athletes will not be able to view Historical Performance via Kilo - Members app in the recent release. This information is available for you and your Coaches to be prepared when Phase 2 is released.
From Workout → Performance, athletes reach the Historical Performance landing page: a searchable, filterable list of every movement and benchmark they've completed, newest first.
Selecting the filter button opens a modal where athletes can narrow the list by:
Type: All, Movements, or Benchmarks
Sort by: Most Recent (default), Oldest, or Name (A-Z)
Date range: Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, Last 3 Months, Last 6 Months, Last Year, or All Time
Selecting a row opens the full history for that movement or benchmark:
Strength movements (Weight, Sets & Reps) open with an Estimated 1RM card and training percentage table, followed by every past result for that movement.
All other movement scoring types skip straight to the results list, since the 1RM calculation doesn't apply.
Benchmarks open with a short summary of the benchmark (name, description, and scoring type) before showing past attempts, including the level (RX, Scaled, RX+) attempted each time.
From any result, athletes can select See Details for that day's entry, and View Full Workout to jump back to the original session.
If the original workout has since been deleted, View Full Workout no longer appears on that result, but the logged result itself stays visible in the history. Historical results are never removed when a workout is deleted.
How is Estimated One Rep Max calculated?
For movements scored by Weight, Sets & Reps, Kilo calculates an Estimated 1RM using the athlete's best qualifying set (their Reference Lift) and the Brzycki formula.
Only sets of 10 reps or fewer can become the Reference Lift. High-rep sets are excluded from this calculation because the formula becomes unreliable at higher rep counts, but they're still shown in the athlete's history and can still earn a PR badge based on raw weight.
If an athlete has no set at 10 reps or fewer, the Estimated 1RM card and percentage table don't appear for that movement.
The Reference Lift updates whenever an athlete lifts a heavier qualifying weight, or matches their current heaviest qualifying weight with more reps. A PR badge, however, is only awarded for a heavier raw weight than anything logged before; matching a previous weight with more reps updates the Estimated 1RM but doesn't earn a new PR badge.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an athlete's latest result and their best result?
In the athlete app, Historical Performance always shows the athlete's most recently logged result, not their all-time best. A PR badge still appears on that entry if the latest result also happens to be their personal record. In Kilo GMS, the Workout Tracker table shows both a Last Result and a Best Result column, so coaches can see both at a glance.
Why does the same movement sometimes appear as two separate entries in an athlete's history?
Because a movement logged under two different scoring types is tracked as two separate histories. For example, if an athlete's Back Squat has been logged both by weight and by time, those are treated as unrelated movements since the values aren't comparable. Each entry is labeled with its scoring type (for example, "Back Squat — Weight" and "Back Squat — Time") so it's clear why there are two rows.
How does Kilo calculate an athlete's Estimated One Rep Max?
Kilo uses the Brzycki formula, based on the athlete's heaviest qualifying set at 10 reps or fewer. See How is Estimated One Rep Max calculated? above for the full rule, including why some sets don't qualify.
Why didn't a heavy, high-rep set earn my athlete a new PR badge?
A PR badge is only awarded for a heavier raw weight than anything the athlete has logged before, regardless of reps. A high-rep set at a lighter weight won't earn a badge even if it would project a higher estimated max, because the badge reflects what the athlete has actually lifted.
What happens to an athlete's history if I delete the original workout?
The logged result stays in the athlete's history; only the option to jump back to the original workout disappears. Historical Performance is append-only, so deleting a workout doesn't remove anything the athlete or coach has already reviewed there.
Can I filter benchmark results by level (RX, Scaled, RX+)?
No, level isn't a filter option, but it's shown alongside each result for context. You'll see which level an athlete attempted on every benchmark row and result.
Does an athlete get notified when they hit a new PR?
Yes, with an in-app "New PR!" toast at the moment the result is logged. No push notification, email, or text is sent, and nothing else in Historical Performance triggers a notification.
What if an athlete's weight was logged in different units over time?
Kilo converts everything to a common unit before comparing results, so the PR badge and Estimated 1RM always reflect the actual heaviest lift. The full history, the Estimated 1RM card, and the percentage table all display in your gym's default weight unit, regardless of which unit was used when a particular set was logged.
Helpful tips
Use the Best Result column in the GMS Historical Table when you want a quick comparison without opening an athlete's full history.
Point athletes to My Events → Workouts if they're looking for their own history; it's a faster path than digging through past sessions.
If an athlete asks why their Estimated 1RM card is missing, check whether they have a qualifying set of 10 reps or fewer on record for that movement.
The Workout Side Panel in Kilo GMS keeps you on the athlete's profile, so use it instead of the athlete app when you're reviewing history during a coaching conversation.
