This post is from the WWDC26 Health & Fitness Q&A.

Workout Activities are very useful for tracking metrics for each interval of a HIIT workout (e.g. Run/Walk or Work/Recover intervals for core body workout). However, if the workout contains lots of intervals (50 or more), I find that saving all those workout activities slow down saving the workout to Apple Health. Is this an appropriate use of workout activities? If so, it would be great to be able to set the activity type for each activity (e.g. run or walk).

Representing each interval as a workout activity is correct use of the API. We have recently made some performance improvements during workout build time. Please try seed builds. If performance is still not satisfactory I would suggest you filing a feedback assistant.
