Just what I was looking for
I came from other workout apps that only tracked the basics—sets, reps, and what I did last week. They were good, but very basic. I really like this app because it gives actual advice on how to improve weight, technique, and reps. It handles progressive overload perfectly, understanding that some muscles respond better to different weights and rep ranges.
I’ve been using the free trial and I’m really enjoying it. I find the annual subscription just a little bit too expensive for me right now, but if I ever catch a sale, discount, or promo, I would definitely get it.
Overall, it’s a really great app and I’m still getting the hang of it. My only minor suggestion is about the rest timer. The notification when the rest ends is too subtle; if you aren't looking directly at your phone, you miss it completely. It’s a small detail, but adding an option for a more noticeable alert would be fantastic.

Best Gym app
Love the app ❤️🔥
Good for mixed gym
I have a lot of gym pieces but not a full gym. This app builds a training routine around the gym equipment I have. I came from a lot of crossfit and I am trying to slow the grind a bit now that I am getting older. My equipment was box oriented andthe app built a good routine for me to get back to moving again after some injuries.

Recommended app to track weight progression and alternative exercises
I have been using this app on the pro trial version for a couple of days and will continue to use it while the trial last. So far I am considering paying for the yearly subscription since it is helping me and as a fellow freelancer and artist I believe that if you like something and is helping you achieve your goal, you should pay for it since nobody should work for free.
This been said, so far there are two things that are getting a bit annoyed but are not a deal break yet to dont pay the subscription. (Will see if that changes)
Maybe there is an option that I haven't seen and the developers can help me out.
1- there isn't a timer for the plank exercise or any exercise where there are not reps but a set duration involving the exercise. The app has de rest timer but not a timer to track an exercise.
2- the rest time notification not always work and when it does sometime is delayed and it only gives you the notification and not an actual continuos alarm that you need to turn off. So if you are resting and you have the phone on the bench or pocket you might miss it.
Also, I use an apple watch and the alarm doesnt get deliver there neither. Not sure if the app even connects with the watch during workouts because the only notifications that I do get deliver and show on the watch are the daily reminders to workout. And yes, i have the notification options enabled.
I am going to continue using and testing the app with the trial and most likely will send an email to the developers if I find another bug or feature that could be added.
I still give a 5 stars because I think is a great app that deserves it.
