Workout Calendar - Motivation

This app is just what I needed! It's basic and allows me to schedule my own workout sessions without making me sift through all the ads and workouts provided by other exercise apps. It's flexible, offers many scheduling options, and allows you to leave notes! Also, the layout is very professional, clean and easy to navigate. Plus, all proceeds from purchasing this app go to an individual with Parkinson's. That's very important and significant to me. I still haven't found a way to get this app to notify me when a workout is due, but since I set up my own recurring exercise schedule, that's not critical. I just open the app and there's my workouts for the day.

This workout app does what I wanted to do for the most part. It records my workout activities. It helps me remember when I need to work out next, what type of workout (HITT, strength, etc) and gives me some motivation to fill in the calendar. I like that it remembers the workout titles so I don’t have to type them in each time. I’ve had the app for over a month and it has been very stable. The only improvement I would suggest is to allow red badge notifications. I’d like it to have that red circle on the app icon (badge notification?) showing the number of workouts on the calendar for that day. Once the workout(s) has been checked off, the red circle would disappear. That would make it more visible & motivate me more.

This app is working perfectly for me! I have it right next to My Fitness Pal on my phone, and since I’m try to focus on consistency in exercise -not calories used, it’s great (MFP won’t let you log exercise without increasing calories). You can put any notes you want on it. If you skip a workout you’ve scheduled there is an X for that day, if you complete it there is a check mark. I find it extremely motivating to check the day and look back at the calendar and see that consistently. Thank you for the app!

My favorite feature on this app is the ability to use colors so you can look at the month at a glance to see what you’ve done. But, when you mark a workout as complete, the color goes away. If you wanted to plan out your workouts, you could enter them and mark them as complete in advance, then unmark them once you have completed, so the color shows up. I also enjoy being able to take notes about my progress.

Please add an option to recur every X number of days!! My workout plan repeats on a 5 day cycle and the only options are to repeat every day or every week. This means I have to manually input every day of my workout schedule. Other than that, I am a fan of the app layout/functions. Perhaps also add a satisfying sound after checking off a workout (similar to Wunderlist's sound). Psychologically I've found this adds to a sense of achievement after completing a workout.
