Absolute rockstar!

This app, for the crazy low one time fee, is amazing. It tracks everything I do, allows me to change my routine mid-workout, build my own exercise and customize the UI! Using this app I have been able to focus my routine and lose 40 lbs while adding muscle mass! I tell everyone I see, I would wear GymBook gear and be sponsored everyday I go to the gym, which is 6 days a week.

All of the updates are worthless for me

All of the exercises and features being added are cool I guess, but I can add my own exercises if I want to, so I guess I’d rather have more practical features like more workout notification options and for the workout calories to be remotely close to accurate.

Non intuitive UI

I mean if you are going to make a workout app with over 400 exercises it would probably be a good idea to make the humanoid model the revolving face of the whole app, ae I open the app to a model of a person, I tap the part of the body I want to improve and it shows every workout that falls into that category and from there I can chose to easily add it to a workout plan. The ui is unfortunately very poorly designed but I don’t think this is changing anytime soon because devs tend to be stubborn to innovation now. Props however to having a one time payment option which I can gladly say I’m an owner of.

Отличное приложение

Добавьте пожалуйста возможность указания периода для экспорта журнала и по возможности через команды.

Had the app a few years

Only thing I would change is the way you select the weight. Most weights I have move up in increments of five. The app has it in 1 lbs when I switch between high rep and low weight you have to scroll for a minute. Having the option to move in increments of five would be nice.
Some times I take a break because of injuries or what not it would be cool if you had the option to have the weight for each set automatically reduce after being idle with the more time away the more the weight lowers. I have noticed after taking a month off that I have to spend time adjusting weights.

Beste App für eigene Workout-Erstellung

Habe alles ausprobiert, was ich finden konnte und GymBook passt am Besten zu meinen Anforderungen: keinen Wucherpreis (hier aktuell 1,99/Monat) / Workout selber planen und loggen / eigene Übungen erstellen und dabei nicht nur beschreiben sondern auch Bild hinzufügen zu können / auch visuell auf einen Blick erkennen, welche Muskeln angesprochen werden durch Workout oder einzelne Übung (ja, ich bin ein sehr visuell funktionierender Mensch *zwinker*) /vorgegebene Übungen bearbeiten zu können. Verbesserungsvorschläge von mir: 1) Ich würde gerne Übungen mit zwei Seiten kennzeichnen können und sowas wie „jeweils (pro Seite) 8x5kg“ angeben können. 2) Ich würde gerne die wichtigsten Muskeln spezifischer angeben können z. B. Serratus Anterior oder wenigstens ein extra Feld bei der jeweiligen Übung haben, in dem ich bei Übersicht der ganzen Übungen einen wichtigen Hinweis platzieren könnte. Das wäre super! Danke aber erstmal für diese tolle App!

Great app but has serious issues

The app itself is perfect for making and tracking custom workouts. The main problem is the watch app since it never starts up straight away. I always have to force quit the watch app at least once every day. I'm lucky if it's just once. Other times it will eventually load but it will crash when selecting the first exercise in a workout so I have to force quit a few times. Finally whenever there's an app update the watch app refuses to connect. It can often take 20- 30 minutes trying things like watch or iPhone reboots, closing the apps etc. Right now it won't connect after trying all these things several times.

I've paid for the full package and this app is so unreliable I'm considering going elsewhere so please please please just spend some time on fixing these issues. I should not have to reinstall the app every time you release an update

Top App, genau meine Anforderungen

Genau das was ich gesucht habe. Ich habe schon 2-3 Apps fürs dokumentieren meines Fortschritts ausprobiert, darunter auch GainsFire (auch sehr gute App), allerdings hat diese hier genau das was ich benötige. Applewatch Modus ist für mich sehr wichtig, da ich meine Gym-Playlists für Musik lokal auf der Watch gespeichert habe, und ich dadurch mein Handy im Spind lassen kann. Die Kombination von GymBook für den Fortschritt zu tracken plus Musik von der Applewatch am Handgelenk ist unschlagbar.
Außerdem misst die App auch meinen Puls während des Trainings, somit muss ich kein Standart-Training auf der Watch mehr starten, das Ergebniss ist nach dem Training in der Fitness App von Apple sichtbar.
Alles in allem genau das wonach ich solange gesucht habe. Nach einem Workout habe ich mir bereits die Lifetime Lizenz gekauft, die App wird mich die nächsten Jahre begleiten.

Response from developer

Hi BartHart - Vielen herzlichen Dank für deine tolle Rezension und dass du GymBook unterstützt! 😊 Sehr schön zu hören, dass GymBook genau das bietet, wonach du gesucht hast, und dass besonders die Apple Watch Integration so gut in deinen Trainingsalltag passt. Viel Erfolg im Gym und alles Gute für die kommenden Jahre! 💪

🙂

Would be extremely convenient to have the ability to import workouts via csv or similar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely amazing

completely free, or a v tiny one-time purchase, and has EVERYTJING u need and completely customaisable with plenty of statistics etc

Great app

This app is the best one I’ve tried. It’s clean and easy to use. Never had any glitches or issues. No ads. No distracting social component. Great database and ability to add custom exercises. All around great app for tracking your training with no added BS.

Happy

A very inspiring app helps me get to my goals

Great, easy

Love this app. Easy to log in gym. Easy to add exercises and workouts

Perfect!

No gross social feature, up there with HealthFit and WorkOutDoors for the running of GOAT stats based work out apps. CLEAN AESTHETIC!!

Great app

Recommend to all. Easy set up and use. The log and history tabs are a great way to track and see your progress. The customer support team is very responsive and friendly.
The only issue I have is the auto backup to the icloud, all the data after a group session workout does not transfer, i.e. 5 exercises in a group session and all but the info for the last exercise uploaded or everything uploaded but the last set in that last exercise. I’ve had 5 exercises and only 2 uploaded. The fix to get everything uploaded is for me to manually upload the workout manually on my phone so I can keep my iPad current.

Отличное приложение

Пользуюсь уже более 5 лет, не подводит и отлично работает с часов! Можно не брать в зал телефон.

Dependable

This app is great, very reliable/dependable, and well worth the price. I've been using GymBook since 2015, and it's given me everything I've ever needed in a logger.

Best app ever

Nothing compares to this truly a godsend love this app

Clean & simple yet powerful.

❤️

Logging problem after update

I just updated to the most recent version (I have lifetime) and it will not enter new logs for exercises in my workouts. Very broken!! Please fix ASAP
