About

Gyminder

Most workout apps tell you what to do. Gyminder tells you when. Gyminder reads your training history and tracks how each muscle group recovers, then points you at the one workout that's genuinely ready today — so every session lands on fresh muscle instead of burning the same group two days running. THE RECOVERY ENGINE Open the app and you see one thing: what to train right now. A live recovery ring shows which muscles are ready and which still need hours. No guesswork, no junk volume, no wondering whether today is a legs day. PROVEN SPLITS, READY TO RUN Start training in seconds with a split that fits your week: • Full Body — 3 days • Upper / Lower — 4 days • Push / Pull / Legs — 3 or 6 days • Bro Split — 5 days • PPL + Upper/Lower hybrid — 5 days Or build your own from focus blocks — push, pull, legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, glutes, core and more. COACHING ON EVERY LIFT Every exercise comes with step-by-step setup, the cues that actually matter, the common mistakes to avoid, plus tempo and breathing. Train with intent instead of copying the person next to you. TRAINS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE Full gym, dumbbells only, or pure bodyweight — Gyminder automatically swaps in the right substitution so the plan always fits the equipment in front of you. GUIDED SESSIONS Built-in set tracking and rest timers walk you through every workout, set by set, keeping your rhythm and logging as you go. Gyminder is for lifters who are done overthinking the schedule. Pick a split once. Show up. Train the muscle that's ready.
