GymWell is the workout tracker built for lifters who want to get stronger. Plan your routines, log every set with weight and reps, and watch your progress unfold through detailed strength analytics. Build programs made of routines, add exercises from a library of over 40 movements with video demonstrations, and give your training the structure it needs to deliver results. LOG EVERY SET, ALWAYS FREE Start a live session and log each set in real time. The rest timer keeps your pace between sets and keeps counting even if you leave the app. Your previous numbers sit beside each exercise so you always know what to beat. Record effort as RIR or RPE, whichever you think in. Unlimited workout logging is free forever, and so is your full training history. Your log is yours: never locked, never hidden, never capped. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Charts for estimated one rep max, total volume, and training intensity. The one month view is free. GymWell Pro extends the same charts across three months, six months, and your entire training career, and adds the consistency heatmap plus your all time volume and workout totals. MEASURE WHAT MATTERS Track 16 body measurements including body fat percentage, chest, waist, shoulders, arms, and legs. Visual diagrams show exactly where to measure, and charts reveal how your physique changes over time. Body weight is free. Pro unlocks the full set. AN EXERCISE LIBRARY YOU CAN TRUST Every exercise comes with images and looping video demonstrations so you can check your form before each set. Need a movement we do not have? Create your own, or request one for a future update. GYMWELL PRO The free tier is a complete training log, not a trial: unlimited workouts and history, the rest timer, streaks, 2 programs, 3 custom exercises, the one month chart range, and body weight tracking. Pro unlocks the depth: - Unlimited programs and custom exercises - Three month, six month, and all time charts - Summary stats and the consistency heatmap - All 16 body measurements - Notes on any exercise - CSV export of your whole history Choose a yearly plan or pay once for lifetime access. Both unlock exactly the same features. Already using GymWell? Nothing you built goes away.
