## What is Gym Log?

Gym Log is a complete strength-training tracker — rest timer, workout builder, progress graphs, body measurements, and Apple Watch app.

WHY LIFTERS SWITCH TO GYM LOG

Every other gym timer app nickel-and-dimes you: $10/month to see your own 1-rep-max trend, a paywall on custom rest timers, ads between sets. Gym Log ships everything unlocked from the first launch, because a timer and a logbook shouldn't cost more than your gym membership.

BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY TRAIN

• Smart Rest Timer — auto-starts after every set, runs in a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you're not staring at the app between sets.
• Home Screen Widget — see this week's workout count and your best lift without opening the app.
• Workout Builder — build custom routines and drag-to-reorder exercises until it matches your split exactly.
• RPE & Warm-Up Calculator — log rate of perceived exertion per set and let Gym Log auto-generate your warm-up ramp to any working weight.
• Plate Calculator — instant per-side plate math for every barbell lift.
• 1-Rep-Max & Progress Graphs — every logged set feeds an estimated 1RM chart per exercise, so you can see the trend line, not just the number.
• Personal Records, Automatically — Gym Log flags every new PR the moment you log it and builds your all-time PR board for you.
• Body Log — track weight, body fat %, and body measurements (chest, waist, hips, arms, thighs) alongside progress photos, all in one timeline.
• Apple Health Sync — completed workouts sync straight to Apple Health.
• Apple Watch App — start workouts, log sets, and run your rest timer straight from your wrist.
• Share Your Wins — every finished workout and every new PR generates a bold, branded share card, ready for your Instagram Story in one tap.

DESIGNED, NOT DEFAULTED

Gym Log doesn't look like a spreadsheet. Bold type, riveted steel-plate cards, a chalk-and-iron palette built to feel like the gym floor, not a productivity app.

Five starter routines (Chest Day, Back Day, Leg Day, Push Day, Pull Day) are built in so you can start your first workout in under 30 seconds — or build your own from scratch.

No account. No sign-up. No sync fees. Your data stays on your device.

Download Gym Log and stop paying for a stopwatch.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.10 — 2026-08-20

Bug fixes: fixed the Home back button on the Body Log, Settings, and History screens not responding after you finished a workout. You can now get back to the home screen normally.

### 2.9 — 2026-08-20

A big batch of real improvements this update:

• NEW: Home Screen widget — this week's workout count and best lift, at a glance
• Weight fields now prefill with your last logged weight for that exercise
• Delete buttons on History and Body Log entries, no more guessing how
• Body Log entries are now fully editable, not just deletable
• Drag-to-reorder in the workout builder now grabs instantly from anywhere on the row
• "Reset to Default" for the built-in workouts, in case you edit one by accident
• Cleaner exit flow — leaving a workout mid-session always gives you the same clear choices
• We ask before asking: notifications now get a plain-language heads-up before the system prompt
