Minimally invasive ads. A rare gem of a fitness app that delivers above and beyond. This is what free apps used to be like. Give it a download if you’re looking for workout ideas/variations! ### 5/5 — The best *2026-05-07, version 3.06* Adam is a true genius and we’re thankful for him ### 4/5 — Need to add (LANDMINE )workout to this program *2026-04-15, version 3.05* Other than that it’s great ### 3/5 — Poor Record Keeping *2026-04-10, version 3.05* If I close the app, it forgets an ongoing exercise and resets ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-03-23* Best aap for the beginners to know the exercises with short videos **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review and glad you're enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Karl *2026-03-21, version 3.04* Absolutely amazing app anything in need help with in the gym as I’m a beginner I just go to this app ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-20, version 3.04* I am 13 years old and it is perfect for what I am doing ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-03-16, version 3.04* Just what I was looking for, doesn’t have all the filler and junk that all the other workout apps seemed to have. Simple yet detailed, informative, intuitive, works well even if you stick with the free version (unlike the rest). ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-24, version 3.04* First time review. Love it. Free and not full of junk. ### 5/5 — Free version *2026-02-24, version 3.04* I needed to replace my gym notebook and this app was it. I appreciate that it’s free. The ads are not intrusive. I have not used the timer function so I can’t review that. I like that I can create and save a workout, I like the tutorials for different exercises, and I find the layout simple to use. ### 5/5 — ACTUALLY FREE APP *2026-02-05, version 3.04* 99% of the workout apps out there are paid, or most of the app is blocked behind a paywall. This app does have a paid option, but it only gives you some optional UI and theme options. Amazing app overall, and I’m sure it will continue to get better. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-30, version 3.04* Highly y ### 4/5 — Not bad *2026-01-30, version 3.04* Been using it for a few weeks and have been enjoying it. However, the developer needs to add a zero to the exercise count down, also it would be best to add a feature that allows exercise plans to be in a folder. It can be very difficult to search out every exercise even after favoring them. Besides that I enjoy the communal exercise planning, pretty cool. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-01-21, version 3.04* I love this app! It helps me create a routine, gives written and visual aide on each exercise. It also provides the breakdown of the muscle groups to work out. ### 5/5 — The best and simplest app for the Gym *2025-12-30, version 3.04* Hello, your app is so great and simple to use. My only request can you please add predefined workouts, like Dorian Yates and Other legend workouts please. Other than that the best workout app. ### 5/5 — Wow app *2025-12-30* Wow very good app also free of cost for the workout **Developer response:** Thanks very much! Glad you like it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-11-15, version 3.01* This is one of the best apps of gym and fitness it shows you how to perform the workout and exercise with a video that works offline and online I wish that they’d add the function where I can see the muscles that are being affected and those not but overall amazing app ### 5/5 — perfect *2025-11-11, version 3.01* just what you need without subscription ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great app but buggy *2025-09-23, version 3.01* Taken the time to enter all my workouts, but every time i got to view them the app just crashes, so total waste of time ### 1/5 — Was great *2024-02-12, version 2.88* I have been using this app for years and loved it now I have swapped to an iPhone I can’t move all my data across and can’t login to my account ?? Makes no sense ### 1/5 — google ads *2023-11-22, version 2.85* google ads cover up content at bottom of screen and I can’t input or make any of my own workouts or read the bottom of the screen ### 1/5 — Android version is better *2023-10-25, version 2.85* Can’t transfer any workouts or logs from my android account. Also the android app is superior in every way. I can barely set up a workout on here because the adds are directly over the save workout button. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2023-01-02, version 2.79* Avoid I have downloaded and re-downloaded this app approx. 10 times now. The app crashes far too many times and I can’t use the app. ### 1/5 — Glitching *2022-12-30, version 2.79* I had been using the app for months with no issues logging workouts 5-6 days a week with dozens of custom exercises saved when all of a sudden the app won’t open, glitching back to the home screen every time I try to open it. I just lost months of workout logs and data. ### 1/5 — iPhone 10 issues *2021-09-05, version 2.54* The app loses all my custom exercises and data. I have recreated custom workouts and exercises with attached pictures multiple times only to have them disappear randomly. Also, why no sign in option or backup ability for iPhone? To sketchy to keep using, fix the problems first …. or if it’s user error, tell me what I did wrong. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing right after selecting Custom exercises *2020-09-25, version 2.38* As soon as I select Custom Exercises to add some, the app crashes. Giving one star because can’t really use it. ### 2/5 — GET THIS APP *2021-09-20, version 2.54* If you’re new to bodybuilding. It’s free and shows you how to do various exercises with a little explanation about form and more. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2019-03-24, version 2.05* Step in the right direction but needs work. Crashes when I press exercises ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-09, version 3.11* Amazing quality free for all ### 5/5 — New look timer glitch *2026-08-07, version 3.11* The timer in the new look does not change when you leave the app. It stays at the same time you left it at. However internally the timer is still counting down. I believe it’s a sync issue. The classic works perfectly so I had to switch back to the classic. ### 5/5 — Go to app *2026-07-22, version 3.11* This is now my only go to app for workouts. Love the new improvements! I love the predefined workouts as well. Great to use as a comparison or if you’re just not sure what to put together with what. I wanted a full upper body day and yep, there’s one in there! Thanks again for a great app! ### 5/5 — Fresh new layout *2026-07-11, version 3.11* App new layout is great, however the new layout design lacks the ability to rename your workout, you have to switch back to original to rename it, but once you save it, you can switch back to new design , just a small quirk that can be fixed. ### 5/5 — New update is AMAZING! *2026-07-08, version 3.11* Thanks for the new update, it is fantastic! One suggestion: can you make the calendar editable by start day of the week? My schedule is Sunday to Saturday. Having is start on Monday makes it look really funky to me and chops up my workout. Also, making the streak counter by your work out days, rather than consecutive days would be better. It resets every week on my rest day. I would rather know my streak of how long I have completed my specific work out. ### 5/5 — App *2026-07-02* Excellent app I love it **Developer response:** Thanks very much! ### 5/5 — Great App !!! *2026-06-29, version 3.11* Great app that you do not have to pay a huge monthly subscription for ! This is all you need ! ### 5/5 — New update *2026-06-19, version 3.10* Love the new update. Would love it if you could add in a pause workout feature. Sometimes I hit the gym late and run out of time. Would be great to pause it and pick it up later or next day. Otherwise app is awesome. Thank you for making a great app that’s actually free. ### 5/5 — The best and simplest app for the Gym *2026-06-19, version 3.10* Is there a android version ? ### 5/5 — Free and easy to use *2026-06-14, version 3.06* I’m really enjoying this app as not only is it easy to manage and navigate but is completely free! I don’t consider myself a gym junkie so this app has pretty much everything I need to either find a predetermined workout or create my own workout. And if you can’t find the exercise in the vast library you can custom load up your own. The calendar tracker is great for when I want to compare back to a previous session however would be even better if it kept track of my progress for an exercise that can be viewed over time to see progress made. Other than that I’d recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a free app that is easy to use and helps them achieve their workout goals. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
