### 5/5 — really good

*2023-08-14*

This is completely free and works very well and is organised very well would Recommend bro

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2023-01-24*

THIS IS A TERRIBLE GYM JOURNAL APP.

### 3/5 — So far, so good

*2022-01-10*

I literally just downloaded this app this afternoon. I have been searching for an app to allow me to enter my own powerlifting programming and my CrossFit workouts, track progress PR’s, etc. so far Gym Journal seems to fit the bill. I would like to see an option to export the journal, and a little more editing capability on workouts that have already been planned. Once you plan the workout, there is no going back to make an edit, or at least I haven’t discovered it yet. I’m gonna hit the gym in the am, and we shall see how simple the logging process is. Stay tuned…..

### 4/5 — Very good...suggestions

*2021-02-13*

Since switching from Android to iOS, I’ve been looking for a workout log/tracker.  I used Fitnotes on Android and it was great. Gym Journal is the closest thing I have found.  The one suggestion that I have so far is, being able to choose the custom workouts for various days or being able to copy previous workout and paste to new day.  I use a series of workouts for various days of the week and would like to be able to choose the workouts that I’ve created versus recreating every workout every day.
Update: I found out how to access and add previously created custom workouts!  
1. Go to the day you want to log the workout
2. “Add Workout”
3. In the upper left hand corner, there is a box/file icon, choose it
, It displays your entire workout history
4. Pick from any of the workouts you have either created/used and the app will add it to your daily log, fantastic!

Pros:
Create custom workouts
Label custom workouts
Reps/weight tracking
Calendar/Day tracking 

Cons:
None

### 3/5 — So close!...

*2020-11-23*

The app is fairly straightforward and has an impressive amount categorized and popular lifts! You can even track cardio fairly easily! However there is some tediousness when it comes to planning my own workouts. I have a couple of workouts that are the same each week and I only increase the weights per rep but as of right now I cannot figure out how to schedule recurring workouts... this feature would be extremely helpful as I don’t have a trainer linked to my account or setting my workouts. Typing the same workouts every week with 5+ exercises with 4-5 sets each is not a valuable use of my time :/ excited to see future updates however this doesn’t quite meet the mark for me yet.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2020-10-08*

Very glitchy at times . It has my name wrong in my profile and when I click “edit profile” to make the change then save its still incorrect. Not the end of the world but it’s annoying I can’t even fix my own profile name

### 3/5 — Good but not enought

*2020-06-14*

I a great app but you should do an update

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2020-02-11*

I’ve been looking for a good journal to track my progress. This seems to be the best for creating workouts, but right now the biggest issue is setting the time of the workouts. If I want to go back and add a workout I don’t seem to have the ability to set the workout to the correct time. Opening the the tab to adjust displays nothing, and if you repeat opening the tab the app crashes. As I said, it has potential.

### 3/5 — Need help

*2020-02-05*

How do I delete my account? 
I rushed through set up and my name is misspelled and I want to correct it. 
I can’t do it in edit profile, nor can I delete it and restart a new one. 

Needs a place to make changes inside the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-12-06*

It always closes. This app is completely useless and is not a real gym journal.

**Developer response:** Hey Barbara,

We are so sorry the app wasn’t working well for you. Could you please reach out to franco@gymjournalapp.com to tell us more about what you were experiencing. We would love to know more and be able to correct any issues you encountered. 

Thanks
