VigiGym: Your Training. Your Way. Train free. No limits on workouts, routines, or exercises. No coach, no clutter, no noise. Just your progress, on iPhone and Apple Watch. VigiGym is a professional workout tracker for lifters who want control, clarity, and speed. No algorithm decides your workout. You do. WHY VIGIGYM? Many fitness apps focus on social features or guided coaching. VigiGym takes the opposite approach: I provide the professional tools, you provide the sweat. BUILT FOR IPHONE + APPLE WATCH Log a set on your wrist and see it instantly on your iPhone. Start a workout on iPhone and your Apple Watch connects automatically. See your live heart rate during training and sync your workout with Apple Health when you finish. Rest countdowns and your session timer keep running in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, with an alert when your rest ends, even while your iPhone is locked. RECORD WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DID Plans change once the set begins. Log the reps and weight you actually completed after every set. With Pro, you can save your actual reps and weight as the new defaults for your routine with one tap. BUILD YOUR TRAINING YOUR WAY Create your own routines or start with pre-made templates. VigiGym supports straight sets, supersets, drop sets, giant sets, and pyramids, with fast search, intuitive controls, and instant reordering. Create custom exercises with your own names, muscle groups, and equipment, then reuse them in any routine. OVER 750 ANIMATED EXERCISES Every exercise has its own animation. Color-coded muscle maps show the primary and supporting muscles for every exercise and routine. Find any exercise by name, muscle, or Latin muscle name, and filter for bodyweight exercises. REPORTS, RECORDS AND SHARE CARDS Share any workout as a card, right after you finish or later from your workout log. With Pro, volume records highlight exercises where you moved more total weight than ever before, while weekly and monthly reports compare your training volume, records, and muscle-group distribution. INTEGRATED 1RM CALCULATOR Calculate your estimated one-rep max and see suggested weight ranges for hypertrophy, strength, or endurance. MADE FOR THE GYM Adjust reps and weight with sliders, complete sets with a tap or gesture on iPhone, or use Double Tap on Apple Watch. A reminder directly on your routine card helps keep your training on schedule. No manual. No setup maze. Open the app and train. PRO: SEE THE COMPLETE PICTURE VigiGym does not put training behind a paywall. Free includes your last 20 days of training history. VigiGym Pro unlocks your complete training history and advanced insights, including weekly and monthly reports, volume records, progression charts, monthly comparisons, heart-rate analytics, and the option to save your actual reps and weight as new defaults with one tap. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your training data stays on your device by default. Optional iCloud sync stores it in your private iCloud account using Apple's built-in security and encryption. VigiGym does not send your workout data to third-party servers and does not use ad tracking. Anonymous usage statistics help me improve the app. Your training data is never included. PRICING New subscribers can try VigiGym Pro free for 14 days with the monthly plan, or choose Lifetime: one purchase, no subscription. Monthly subscribers can switch to Lifetime anytime in Settings. Your training stays free either way. Take control of your training. Download VigiGym and train your way.
