## What is GymAware?

GymAware is internationally recognised by both professional coaches and athletes alike, as the leading tool in the real-time measurement and collection of weights room performance data.

The GymAware App exclusively integrates with the already recognised gold standard technology in reliable performance based measurement systems, the GymAware PowerTool. The robust PowerTool hardware (Made for Apple certified) is a Linear Position Transducer (LPT) with angle measurement sensor specifically designed for incredibly accurate & consistent measurement of performance in athletes.

### 5/5 — :)

*2020-10-16, version 2.8*

The best!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2020-03-16, version 2.6*

It’s like a video game for weight training 😍

### 4/5 — Fantastic piece of kit and user friendly...

*2019-03-19*

Fantastic piece of hardware (LPT) and the app of this is really use friendly. I’ve used this with my weightlifting club and team sports athletes for monitoring fatigue and performance. I’ve also used this in a post graduate research project. 

My only qualm that has put other clubs off buying this and also a bit of a let down for myself as a coach is the pricing of the software add on. 
It would be great if there was either a one off charge or a different subscription offer to add extra players. 
There doesn’t seem to be a big difference between free and paid app (hard to see the value of 500+ a year if you just want to add a few more players to your squad). 

Think they are missing out on a lot of middle level sports clubs that would invest in the kit, if this were possible and would probably buy more than one. Or even first year reduced price.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2018-05-29, version 2.5*

App will crash on opening
