Gym Genius - Workout Tracker: Log Your Fitness, Exercise & Bodybuilding Routines

I wanted an app that I could enter my workouts with exercises-weight-sets-note, and be able to Look at what my last workout was so i can make sure I am on track. There are a lot of apps and more expensive apps. Some good ones on the past have no longer been updated so they are obsolete. Gym Genius is clean, simple, easy to enter information. Since I use Golds gym it is hard to have equipment available when I am ready so I need to switch from a machine press to a hammer-free motion- free weight etc to complete that exercise so it is important for me to just identify what equipment and weight I did that exercise. Some people don’t care and that’s fine a bench press for some doesn’t matter if it’s free weight, Smith machine, dumbbell etc. For me I like to track it and that is how I vary my exercise routines. Long story short I would like IPHONE health app to capture my workout info so I can see the various ball park calories used but that is a minor concern since I am there to work out and lift weights. I like I can add cardio bicycle, treadmill etc easier than in other apps I have used. Thumbs up, hope you enjoy the app as much as I enjoy it. Well worth the money for me.

I've tried a bunch of workout apps and this is the most user friendly. I love the timer function that keeps me on pace in my workout without having to worry about it. And I love that I can see what my record and my last weights were during my previous workout. It helps me push myself and make sure I'm progressing. It also has a good bank of existing exercises and it's easy to add an exercise that's not there. The notes section lets me note the reps and sets I need to do for that workout and the rest time between sets. And it saves it in the workout so I don't have to keep looking at another app to see that info. The historical data doesn't seem to store well. I've used this app for about a year and a half, or more, and the saved data only goes back to June of this year right now, which is only a couple of months. It's always been like that too. But all in all, for what I use it for, I love it and use it every workout. It's a great app.

I have been looking for a gym tracker app for a long time! I had used excel spreadsheets and a ton of other apps. Every app I found was just designed to track set workouts and routines that were programed in already. I couldnt customize workouts. I wanted to program my own routines and workouts in to an app so I could keep track of them in an organized place and access them quickly on the way to the gym. I wanted to track my weight and reps for exercises. I wanted to be able to look at my weight and reps from the last time I did the exercise so I could quickly set my weights up for that day and also track my strength progress. This app does all that and more. It even lets me temporarily modify workouts on the fly to work around a crowded gym or lack of equipment. Anything I ever found that had any features like this was either super expensive, or required a subscription.

This app is literally the greatest thing to happen to me. Ever. In my entire life. Before this app came along, I'd walk into the gym not knowing where to start or how much to lift. So I'd start small, afraid to push myself. As you can probably imagine, I was weak, fragile looking, and lacked confidence. Ever since this app came along, things have changed. I track my every movement, constantly improving, gaining pounds of muscle, getting stronger by the day. I track my goals, my PRs, every single set and rep, everything. There is nothing that gets by me or escapes my attention. This app has revolutionized my workouts, and my life.

I’ve been using this app off and on for the past 2 years. I find myself using numbers more often however the interface of this app is easy and appealing. Why I’ve rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is for a few reasons off the top of head: - you can’t add super sets or anything like that (however there are ways around that by adding a blank workout just titled super set) - if you’ve added sets, reps, rest or any other notes for the workout depending on how much it’ll just say “(insert message)...” not literally but I hope you understand. Anyways there’s no way to view the rest of the note after you’re done editing so now you have rewrite the note and short hand the eff out of it. Very annoying. - to piggy back off the last flaw is you can’t effectively track on notes you’ve added to workouts such as, “I couldn’t complete the rest of the workout due to tightness in my lower back...” etc. Maybe I’m being petty but these are the most common issues I run into while dealing with this app and are the primary reasons why I just make my own spreadsheet. If you are looking for essentials and simplicity then this is worth it but if you’re into more advanced forms of working out/documenting then don’t waste your time until they add such features.
