  • Confusing to use

    Couldn't log a workout no matter what I did or what info and options I chose. 'Add workout' button just remained gray. I don't know if this a bug. Deleting the app.

    Developer Response

    Sorry for the confusion. The "Add Workout" button remains gray until all required inputs for that workout are completed. We have had this concern in the pass and are working on making it more obvious which fields remain to be completed. Hope you give us another chance soon.
  • Not very straightforward

    Maybe I’m really dense, but I just cannot plan a workout with this app. I simply want to create a workout, say “leg day”, put in each exercise, record my statistics, and that’s it. I wish there was a video that shows how to do that, but the website doesn’t help- it’s just push the app. I got it for the high rating, but like I said, maybe I’m just mentally challenged. I’d love to score it higher, but until I know how to use it I won’t. How about a little video support?

    Thank you for your review! We are working on creating a "How To" series on the website. In addition, a blog with tons of material that should show all the capabilities of our app.
  • Best way to keep track of your workout!

    Great app!
  • No Option To Delete Account

    App is not what I want. I do not want my data to be stored, no option to delete. I even contacted them and have not received a response or help.
  • Great for all my workouts

    I love having 1 place to track all my workouts. Whether it’s a simple workout in my garage gym or an intense AMRAP at my Crossfit box. I also LOVE being able to take a picture of the whiteboard to create a custom workout. It’s also super easy to search for PRs and past workouts. Never using SugarWOD again.
  • Amazingly in-depth app!

    As a crossfit coach/personal trainer I spent years struggling to find an easy way to manage my clients/athletes, this app does it all!

    I wish this had been around years ago. In-depth tools for creating programs, managing clients/athletes and tracking progress that are simple to use and constantly updated with new tools/features.

    Highly recommend this app for any athlete or fitness pro looking to stay on top of their progress!
  • Custom design option

    I use this app as a coach and athlete. The custom design is perfect for my needs. Simple and fast to use. You also have the option to do more in depth tracking and programming too. I manage about 20 athletes on this with no problem at all.
  • Great app for CrossFit

    Great app for tracking CrossFit workouts. There are some very minor issues that will likely be corrected in future releases:

    - when editing profile it doesn’t seem to save changes
    - entering miles- can’t seem to enter less than full miles (ie: needed to log 1.4 miles but only option is 1 or 2 miles)

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for your review! Your first concern is a bug and we will look into it ASAP. Your second concern is in our roadmap for a later release. Thank you for using Gym Journal!
  • Finally!

    An app that I can use to track my workouts, get coaching AND compete with friends and other athletes. This app is awesome and super intuitive. The ability to plan and save workouts to log later is very helpful.
