Excellent Workout Tracker
This is my first experience with any type of tracker. I have committed to working out this year and was looking for an app to keep track of my progress because I love stats and data. SmartGym exceeded my expectations. I can use this app across my Mac, iOS and Apple Watch flawlessly, as everything synchronizes in real time. The user interface is beautiful and intuitive. The app both guides and tracks everything you do from gym workouts to home workouts. Everything is customizable. Every type of gym equipment is in the database for you to designate in your workout routine. It also interfaces with Apple’s health app and creates a history of all your vitals, including heart rate, calories burned and weight volume. All your workout data can be exported as well. These features are more than enough incentive to keep me working out and going to the gym. When I view my workout history, I use that as a baseline to set new goals. I highly recommend this app!

Best App I have!
SmartGym by Apple is hands down the best app I have. It’s easy to set up, has a history of all your workouts/excercises and you can change or adjust your weights and reps on the fly either through your IPhone or Apple Watch. It syncs flawlessly with the Health app and other apps like the MyFitnessPal.

Well designed but that’s about it
I’ve been using a different weight lifting app for 8 years. I wanted to try something new with a fresh design but I really should not have messed with my routine. This app looks nice, but it’s got too much going on while missing what I need. No plate calculator. Hard sell on the premium before even having the chance to try a workout. I got quickly discouraged and deleted the app, but it got left behind on my watch overnight and proceeded to log my longest workout in history and I can’t find any way to delete that data since the app is gone. Do not give this app access to write health data until you’ve figured it out and are ready to give it a go in your gym!!!
Edit: I did find where to kill the false activity data - but there were hundreds of records and the Apple Health app made me either delete them one at a time or kill the whole day, so Sunday didn’t happen for my fitness. I updated my review to not trash this app but it was never clear to me that I started a workout that needed to be ended. I was trying to set up my equipment (which I liked) and then create a custom routine. I quickly realized I would get no value from switching to this app because it’s more expensive and I’m not at all interested in AI randomness in my workouts.
