VigiGym: Your Training. Your Way. Train free. No limits on workouts, routines, or exercises. No coach, no clutter, no noise. Just your progress, on iPhone and Apple Watch. VigiGym is a professional workout tracker for lifters who want control, clarity, and speed. No algorithm decides your workout. You do. Every routine, every exercise, and every workout is free to create and log. WHY VIGIGYM? Many fitness apps focus on social features or guided coaching. VigiGym takes the opposite approach: I provide the professional tools, you provide the sweat. Your training stays yours, private and under your control. BUILT FOR IPHONE + APPLE WATCH Log a set on your wrist and see it instantly on your iPhone. Start a workout on iPhone and your Apple Watch joins automatically. See your live heart rate during training and sync your workout with Apple Health when you finish. Rest countdowns and your session timer keep running in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, with an alert when your rest ends, even while your iPhone is locked. RECORD WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DID Plans change once the set begins. Log the reps and weight you actually achieved after every set. VigiGym immediately shows whether you hit a new record, improved your performance, or simply got the work done. With Pro, you can turn your achieved values into the new defaults for your routine with one tap. BUILD YOUR TRAINING YOUR WAY Create your own routines or start with pre-made templates. VigiGym supports straight sets, supersets, drop sets, giant sets, and pyramids, with fast search, intuitive controls, and instant reordering. YOUR OWN EXERCISES Create custom exercises with your own names, muscle groups, and equipment, then reuse them in any routine. Your library, your rules. VISUAL MUSCLE MAPPING See exactly which muscles your routine targets. High-resolution, color-coded muscle maps visualize primary and supporting muscle groups, so you can understand your training at a glance. INTEGRATED 1RM CALCULATOR Automatically calculate your estimated one-rep max and see suggested weight ranges for hypertrophy, strength, or endurance. MADE FOR THE GYM VigiGym is designed for fast input between sets. Adjust reps and weight with sliders, complete sets with a tap or gesture on iPhone, or use double tap on Apple Watch. A reminder directly on your routine card helps keep your training on schedule. No manual. No setup maze. Open the app and train. PRO: SEE THE COMPLETE PICTURE VigiGym does not put training behind a paywall. Create routines, add exercises, and log workouts for free. Free includes your last 20 days of training history. VigiGym Pro unlocks your complete history and advanced insights, including progression charts, monthly comparisons, heart-rate analytics, and one-tap adoption of your achieved values as new defaults. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your training data is yours. It stays on your device by default. Optional iCloud sync stores it in your private iCloud account using Apple's built-in security and encryption. VigiGym does not send your workout data to third-party servers and does not use ad tracking. Anonymous, cookie-free usage statistics help me improve the app. Your training data is never included. PRICING Try VigiGym Pro free for 7 days with the monthly plan, or choose Lifetime with one purchase and no subscription. Your training stays free either way. Take control of your training.
