Plan it. Lift it. Log it. Gym Log keeps your program, your sets and your progress in one place, free. Getting your program in takes minutes. Build it set by set in the app, import one a friend exported from Gym Log, or convert one you already have: Gym Log gives you a prompt to paste into the AI assistant you use, and you paste the result back in. Then just train. Start a workout and your plan is ready, next to what you lifted last time. Tap to finish each set and the rest timer starts on its own. As the weeks go by, you'll see which lifts are moving and which have stalled, along with your records, estimated maxes and weekly volume per muscle group. When it's time to change something, update the template and your next workout follows the new plan. BUILT FOR HOW YOU TRAIN Program with RPE, rep ranges, percentages of your training max, supersets and custom warm-ups. Track sets by reps and weight, time, or distance. BODY MEASUREMENTS Log body weight, body fat and other measurements alongside your training. Workouts and measurements sync to Apple Health. BRING YOUR HISTORY Switching from Hevy or Strong? Import your past workouts and pick up where you left off. Your data is backed up to iCloud and you can export it anytime. ACTUALLY FREE Every feature is included. No subscriptions, paid tiers or unlocks. Gym Log is a focused tool for people who know how they want to train. It doesn't come with built-in programs, coaching, exercise videos or a social feed. It helps you plan, log and understand your own training.

FOLLOW THE TIMER AND VOICE CUES See your current interval and where you are in the session. Voice cues help you follow the workout, with pause and resume controls when you need a break. KEEP YOUR TRAINING HISTORY Review completed sessions, check their duration, and add notes about how each workout felt. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a color theme and select the interface and voice languages separately. English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are available. MORE WITH PRO An in-app purchase unlocks unlimited saved workouts and access to training history, removes ads, and lets workouts continue with the screen off. For background audio, choose whether other audio stays at its usual volume or is lowered for the active workout session. Set your intervals, start the timer, and get moving.
