GymPal

Features
Read full description

GymPal is a one-handed workout log for the gym floor โ€” and a coach that actually reads your data. FREE LOG โ€ข Programs, days, sets: weight ร— reps, time, progressions, springs โ€” every measurement type โ€ข Rest timer on the lock screen and Apple Watch, +15 s a tap away โ€ข Supersets, drop sets, RPE, plate calculator, warm-up ladder โ€ข Session summary: tonnage, completion rate, personal records, muscle heat map BRING A PROGRAM FROM YOUR OWN AI โ€” FREE Copy the ready-made prompt, paste it into ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini, import what comes back. Same path for meal plans. No subscription needed. THE ENGINE PICKS THE WEIGHT A progressive overload engine sets a target for every set: hit the reps and it climbs, miss twice and it suggests a deload. Progress is tracked by estimated 1RM โ€” strength, not just weight. MIKE โ€” A COACH WHO READS YOUR DATA Mike sees your program, recent sessions, where you're stalling and how closely you follow your meal plan. Talk to him and he writes training and meal plans, reviews your current program, and saves to the app once you approve. He isn't a doctor: pain and injury go to a physician, never a diagnosis. NUTRITION IN THE SAME PLACE Plan, meals, calories and macros sit next to your training. The only place that can say "your bench stalled the week you missed your protein target." APPLE WATCH Log sets from the wrist, rest haptics, heart-rate zones, live calories. The phone stays in your pocket. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Works without an account; sign in and your sessions and measurements back up to a server in Europe. No ads, no data sales.
