One Gym Man
Read full descriptionHide full description
One Gym Man is a workout tracker where your personal records fight monsters. Log a set. Beat a personal best. Somewhere, a monster takes the hit. Every monster's health bar is the real gap between you and a fitness standard โ 30 push-ups, a 135 lb bench, a 5K under 30 minutes โ so the only way to knock one out is to actually get stronger. KO YOUR FIRST WAVE IN A MINUTE Take the baseline test: your best push-ups, plank, squats, a lift or a run. Everything you can already do falls on the spot, so you start with a stack of knockouts and a clear next target. 60 MONSTERS, 5 LANES, 10 THREAT TIERS Push, Pull, Legs, Core and Cardio each climb from Wolf to God. Calisthenics, barbell, dumbbell, running, rowing or swimming โ every training style has a path up the ladder. Clear three lanes at a tier and its boss falls too. REAL RECORDS ARE THE ONLY CHEAT CODE No gear, no gacha, no made-up attack power. Estimated 1-rep max, max reps, longest hold, longest distance and best times are tracked for every exercise, and only a genuine personal record deals damage. THE HERO REGIMEN 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10 km run. Every single day. Start at Rookie (10 reps and 1 km), log each chunk with one tap, and rank up to S-Class. SHARE THE KO Every knockout makes a card made for your feed and the group chat, with a challenge link that dares your friends to beat it. A LOGGER THAT KEEPS UP โข Set-by-set logging with your last session prefilled โข Live PR detection while you train โข Rest timer, routines and ready-made templates: Starter, Strength A/B, Push, Pull, Legs โข 38 exercises plus your own custom moves โข Pounds or kilograms, miles or kilometers STREAKS THAT SURVIVE A BAD WEEK Pick a weekly training-day goal. Hit it to defeat that week's boss and grow your streak; streak shields cover you when life happens. Every session earns XP, levels and ranks, and gentle reminders keep you on schedule. STATS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Records for every exercise, full workout history, training-day and consistency charts, weekly volume and estimated 1RM trends. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-up. Your training log lives on your phone, works offline and exports to a backup file whenever you like. Upgrading from an earlier version? Your workouts carry over automatically. ONE GYM MAN PRO The whole game is free. Pro is a one-time unlock โ no subscription: it removes ads and adds full progress charts, unlimited routines and custom exercises, and premium KO card styles. The monsters aren't getting stronger. You are.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bare Bones Boxing at none against One Gym Man's 1. Bare Bones Boxing also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). One Gym Man's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
