Everything I’ve been looking for

Seriously, it’s so well set up and works so intuitively. It’s everything I’ve been looking for. You can still listen to music while it plays through your workout and the volume of the voice prompts doesn’t mean you have to adjust your music volume. Getting myself to the gym seems to always be a challenge for various reasons, one being following a program I’m not engaged with because they’re not all exercises I feel I need to do and prefer to create my own, but had no simple way of doing it and just end up faffing around. This app takes away that challenge and inspires me to go because I know all I have to do is press play on the workout I want and that I’ve created and I’m away. I hope it stays accessible and I can continue to use it for a long time!

Thank you for using Workout Maker! Stories like these are why the app exists and exactly how the app is meant to be used. “Just press play” could be our new tagline. Keep it up!

Glitchy

This app was great for 2-3 workouts but is too glitchy and I can’t rely on it. With custom workouts it often randomly added or removed the number of sets, for example: supersets it couldn’t match the numbers so instead of 2 sets for each exercise you’ll get 5 for one and 2 for the other. The app crashed multiple times in the middle of a workout and if I tried to resume a workout or end and start a new one it crashed again. Great app on the surface and love the customization but needs work.

So great I had to review it!

I never review apps but I had to review this because it is so great! I love that I can make my own workouts and customise them to suit me and what I want to work on. This is perfect if you don’t have much time either because you can plan ahead and schedule workouts. You can track your workouts and see your progress! Highly recommend this app!!

Simple, and useful 5 stars all around

It is simple, and very easy to use after going through the tutorials. There’s no gimmicks or hidden fees and it’s a breath of fresh air to see that these types of apps still exist. It allows you to customize your workout and the timer is built in. Amazing app, if I could give me 10 stars I would.

Hi there. Argh! Harness that energy for your workouts 💪. Please email us at workout.maker.contact@gmail.com if you’re still having issues. I’m sure we can work through it and get your exercise back.

Ads in premium?

Not pleased with the fact that I just subscribed to the premium trial and there are still ads below. I cannot get over that. Money-hungry developers over here.

Response from developer

Hi there. There is no “premium” status in the app. You can subscribe for access to AI generated workouts (not necessary to utilize every other advanced feature in the app), and there is a separate one time purchase of a couple bucks to remove ads. I am a solo developer who has spent years of my life building this app that I can assure you does not make me much money. I wanted to make it as accessible as possible for anyone to use, so I hope you’ll give it another shot.

Timer not great

No option to turn off the timer for specific exercises. Great to have the overall time but sometimes you do not want to have a specific time to do a certain set. Won’t let you turn it off by exercise.

Actually there is an option to turn it off altogether. But not one that stops the countdown in certain exercises but keeps the overall timer working.

Hi there. If you edit the set and choose the TBD checkbox for the time then it will remove the specific timer.

So close

This app is so close to perfect but it just keeps crashing!!!

LOVE IT!

Incredible app! Made workouts for so many things so easily! So many tools for free, thank you so much 😍😍😍

Amazing could be 5*

Edit: thank you for responding! Change to 5B stars. I did not see the reorder and supersets button when edit was hit. Kind of blends in! Haha. None the less I am super happy now. Thank you!

Only reason this is four stars is because: 1) I can’t move around my workouts. Example when I created back/bis I put one set after a different set, but I needed to switch them. Couldn’t figure this out. Solution: let us drag and drop the workouts when we edit it/add new sets to the workout 2) is like to have super sets and giant sets. 2/3 different works grouped as one set before resting Solution: somehow make this happen. Right now I just keep swapping workouts. Other than that love this app!

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you so much for the review! When you’re editing a workout, there are two blue buttons that should do what you want. One is called “Edit Supersets” and allows you to group exercises as you mentioned. The other is “Reorder” and allows you to drag and drop the workouts into the order you prefer.
