When developing Forma, I paid special attention to minimalism. As a result, I got a fully functional workout tracker, which works completely offline and has no extra functions at all. The interface is so intuitive that it is impossible to get lost. I’ve honestly tried my best to make it nice & simple! The app is great for both gym and at home workout, because the list of exercises is created by you. Instead of hundreds of preset workout programs (invented by nobody knows who), you form your own database - leave only what is important for you personally. ‣ Create any exercise: from yoga to strength training. ‣ Customize them: workout with dumbbells, barbells or with your own weight. ‣ Log your results in a few clicks. ‣ Keep track of your progress: stay toned, gain or lose weight. Together with other users who regularly write great reviews, we strive to keep the app simple. As a result, as many superfluous elements as possible have been eliminated from the app, but functionality has been retained. However, if you do miss something, you can always contact me directly from the app and I will try to implement your ideas. The only limitation of the free version is the maximum amount of 8 workouts. You can ignore this limit by deleting old workouts, or remove the restriction completely with a premium subscription at a reasonable price. This kind of support, as well as honest feedback, helps me grow the project. I promise, I do not and will not have any advertising and unnecessary purchases. Everything is extremely transparent. I am using it myself, so I do not want to make another Frankenstein out of the app. Policy: http://gymtracker.tilda.ws/privacy-policy Terms and Conditions: http://gymtracker.tilda.ws/terms-of-use Thank you for reading to the end, so it was not in vain!

About

Easy Workout Journal

Read full description

Ever feel like you've spent more time typing your workout into the app than you actually spent working out? Tired of waiting for search results to load when searching for an exercise? A lot of popular workout apps have implemented amazing features utilizing new technologies like machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, etc. But this comes at the cost of added complexity. Some of us just want to keep things easy. When developing this app I aimed at tackling a few issues I've experienced with other workout apps. After training a heavy lift I've often found my hands were shaky, making it hard to type in exercise names, etc. To address this I developed a new way for entering in exercises that only takes 3-4 button clicks, with buttons much bigger than letter keys on a keyboard. I also struggled with poor internet connection while in many gyms. Warehouse gyms typically have metal roofs which can sometimes stifle your internet connection. Which is why all base functionality within this app does not require an internet connection. Hope you enjoy using the App! We're always open to feedback!
