Almost Perfect App
This app is almost perfect for me with the flexibility of assigning reps and sets, as well having a timer between sets and lifts. I also like that the session can be modified during the session.
I’m not a fan of monthly and/or annual charges, which makes the free edition very practical and functional. I only wish there were more lifts available for the free edition even though I can customize lifts. However, the app has proven to be so functional for my needs that I did get a yearly subscription.
A special mention for the graphs and the model showing what muscles were exercised during my session. I’ve evaluated a plethora of lifting apps, and this is by far the best for me, and I’ve been lifting for probably 50 years.Show lessbigfoot67
Just need one thing, other than that amazing app
I absolutely love this app. I've downloaded every weightlifting app that even came close to looking decent. This one, by far, is better than all of the others. I'm wanting to upgrade, but have noticed a flaw. The calendar on the home page doesn't show a dot on the correct days that I have done workouts on. Also, I need to be able to start the week on Monday instead of Sunday. It may seem like a small thing, but that's how all of my fitness apps are set up. It's important that I have the capability of having my workout week end on Sunday. I'm still giving 5 stars because this app is that good. It has made my workout routines so much easier to follow. Thank you for such amazing work.Show lessAmcook72
The #1 App in my Phone
I’ve been following Gymaholic for years for the motivational quotes, and when I saw that they had an app, I thought I’d check it out. I never thought it would change my mentality toward lifting... Gymaholic helps both the newcomer nervous about lifting and the veteran who’s tired of stale routines. With features like timed rests, alerts of when to restart your workout, 360 degree simulated exercises and descriptions so you can quickly check your form, dozens of pre-programmed routines that are customizable, and a simple to use recording method for your routine and measurements, it takes the hassle of planning your daily routine off your shoulders. I judge people now who still use the paper and pencil method! I’ve recommended it to pretty much everyone I know who has even the slightest interest in weightlifting and exercise.Show lessBrigitte Su.
Worth it with a subscription
I switched from another big Apple Watch fitness player on the App Store after my annual subscription ended for that one. I did the 7 day trial for Gymaholic, and I immediately loved their watch interface. I can actually change the weight, # of reps, # of sets easily on the watch.
I’ve also had no issues syncing between the watch and the phone at the end of my workout. My last app would sometimes sync and sometimes wouldn’t sync until my next workout. I enjoy how Gymaholic does post workout analysis and gives a rough rating on your muscles’ status. So far it’s pretty accurate. Usually the first day it says I’m back to 100% on a muscle like my quads then it’s just so happens to be leg day.
Overall, this app is a much higher quality app then most I have tried. The graphics aren’t phenomenal, but sometimes you have to sacrifice the ascetic for the processing throughput especially on an Apple Watch with a little processor.Show lessElepianka
Worth it?
So I’m am the furthest person from being fit; although I do try to work out and I have downloaded several workout apps. I have downloaded this one in hopes that I would 1) not quit 2) get stronger as well as recovery, and 3) giving me work outs plans as well as feedback on my weight loss. Be warned though, I have only been able to use this once. The work out that I did kept track of all exercises in the gym so I liked that as well is that I didn’t have to carry my phone as it has a Apple Watch link so I just had to put all info in on my watch. Next, I got this app to get stronger for sure but also recovery. I was diagnosed with a femoral neck stress fracture and also to do my physical therapy with it too. It’s a plus that I can keep records for the doc on what I’ve done. Last, I like how the pro version offers several work out plans so I never had to guess on what I want to do in the gym. Last, I like with the weight measurements, it gives you a visual of what you look like and see how much you have lost. My recommendation is to get this app and if you can afford it, get the pro version.Show lesssamson13708
Absolutely the best gym app out there!
Over the last year, I’ve downloaded practically every major workout app on the App Store and put each through at least a weeklong trial run: Strong, Fitbod, SmartGym, Jefit and too many others to remember. All of them had something lacking. And when I wrote their developers, they almost always had some sort of arrogant reply, like they don’t have the time to work on my request (after agreeing it was a great request!), or they just didn’t think making their app more user-friendly was the right way to go. Then, I stumbled upon Gymaholic. And it’s just awesome. They’ve thought of everything. And although, at first, you might think their screens are too busy, try it for a week, and you’ll quickly see how intuitive it really is. I love how it works great on my Watch. I love that you can choose to use or ignore their bells and whistles, I love their animated views so you can capture the best form. Gymaholic has all the best features of all the above mentioned apps, and none of their bad features. Plus, it’s less than the cost of a frap at Starbucks a month. Way to go!!Show lessrealsole
No Updates or Changes in a year...
I’ve used Gymaholic for a long time, it’s been part of my daily routine for a couple years now (before it was a subscription model).
I think the app is great overall and is very useful for tracking workouts. I understand why some developers switch to a subscription model, when they are continuously updating and changing an app it takes time and costs money. Gymaholic has done almost nothing to update or change their app since switching to a subscription model (unlike Strong and others). They recently provided an update to allow the app to work with IOS12 with a few new workouts added and that’s it. If your going to charge users every month, there needs to be continuous value provided.
Summary: A 5-Star app as a one time purchase, not even close to being worth a subscription model. Look elsewhere, don’t subscribe.Show lessrich6490
Awesome app would recommend
I really enjoy this app, as of right now it’s the only app I use for my work outs. For the people out there that do a lot of app hunting this app here is definitely one to test out. For myself I needed something that would track my progress and this one does just that. From weighing in to how much you have lifted over the week or month this app tracks it. The work outs that are on the app are easy to understand with the help from A-R that the app uses.
However there is always room to improve. For myself I would love to see more add ones. Maybe getting with trainers would help built the database up. Right now I’m using Jeff Cavaliere’s Athlean X 1 program and I am having to add work outs to the app. Which takes away from this app because I’m having to add so many workouts that are not on the app.
Other then that I have really enjoyed using this app for the last yr or so.Show lessSeabee_Greens1942
30-day Review from an experienced weight lifter
This is hands down the best weight lifting app I have ever come across! I’ve been training with weights off and on for years and have the tendency to get bored and fall into the same old routines that don’t produce the desired results.
This app is like a personal trainer on my wrist with a variety of different workouts for whatever you may be looking for. I’ve been using the app for just over 30-days now and I can’t imagine going back to the gym without it.
I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking to utilize their time in the gym more efficiently or for anyone who doesn’t have a gym buddy to push them!Show less30-day user
Nice app... Great watch integration. Keep up the good work!
I just hope you're as dedicated to active development as a $30 membership seems to justify... So far so good though! I'd love to be able to track all my fitness related activity in here, including nutrition. I know cardio is an option, and while I haven't tried to track mine using the app yet, I hope it's as robust as the apple activity app or some of the other apps I've used like runtastic...
One suggestion, make it easier to swap out exercises in predefined workouts. Also, make custom equipment profiles that the app remembers. I only have access to dumbells, trx, elliptical, and rowing machine for example. Make it easier for me to generate world's on the fly with those easily and quickly.Show lessStevebibble
