Read full description

Turn every rep into a quest. GymXP is a workout tracker built for people who actually train. Log your sessions, earn XP for every set, clear quests, build a weekly streak โ€” and team up with a mate to take down bosses, where every workout you log is a strike. Start straight away โ€” no account needed. Log your first workout free, then keep going with a 7-day free trial. A subscription is required after the trial โ€” cancel anytime. TODAY'S QUEST Open the app and your next session is already picked for you, based on which muscles have recovered and what you trained last. Accept it, clear it, collect the XP โ€” with last session's numbers on every exercise so you always know what to beat. WORKOUT LOGGING Log sets with weight, reps, and set type โ€” warm-ups, working sets, failure sets, and drop sets. The built-in rest timer runs in the background and notifies you when to go again. Personal records are highlighted in real time so you always know when you've beaten your best. LEVEL UP AS YOU GET STRONGER Every set earns XP. PR sets earn bonus XP. Keep your weekly training streak alive for multiplier bonuses. Clearing a quest can drop an item โ€” an XP potion, or a Streak Shield that saves your streak if you miss a week. BOSS BATTLES โ€” NEW Team up with a friend against the System's bosses โ€” gym slimes, lab-grown monsters, and worse. Every workout you each log strikes the boss: real training deals the damage, scored on the server from the sets you actually logged. Kill it within 7 days or it escapes. Kills drop gear that sharpens your next hunt โ€” from a Worn Dagger all the way to Mythic โ€” across 8 bosses and 8 chapters. No partner about? Hunt alone, and the System sizes the boss to you. DUELS Challenge a mate to a seven-day duel. Send a link, agree the stakes, then bank your sessions against theirs โ€” most quest XP takes the crown. Every banked session is scored on the server from the sets you actually logged, so nobody can pad their numbers. YOUR CHARACTER SHEET Every muscle group is ranked from your last 90 days of training, so you can see at a glance what you've built and what you've been avoiding โ€” plus the armoury of gear your kills have earned. Log measurements and progress photos, and compare then and now. SIDE QUESTS โ€” NUTRITION Log meals manually, search the food database, or scan a barcode. Track calories, protein, carbs and fat against targets you set yourself. Hit your protein, land in your calorie band, drink your water โ€” each one is a side quest that pays XP. A BRIEFING BEFORE EVERY SESSION At the start of each workout your coach gives you a quick game plan: your target rep range for your goal, the lifts you're ready to push, and last session's numbers to beat โ€” so you walk in knowing exactly what to chase. AI PROGRAMME BUILDER โ€” SCIENCE-BACKED PROGRAMMING Tell the AI how many days you can train and what your goal is โ€” it generates a complete week in seconds, on the same evidence-based rules a qualified coach would use: every major muscle group trained at least twice a week, compound and isolation work balanced for your goal, all six fundamental movement patterns covered, heavy spinal-loading lifts never placed back to back, and proper recovery before a muscle is trained directly again. AI COACH Your personal coach knows your recent workouts, current streak, and nutrition. Ask for advice on a plateau, help hitting your macros, or just what to train today โ€” and get answers that are actually relevant to you. FRIENDS Add your training partners for a weekly XP leaderboard, and share workout templates with a long press. CLOUD BACKUP Everything syncs automatically. Sign in on a new device and your full history, templates, and nutrition data are waiting for you. Terms of Use: https://gymxp.co.uk/terms Privacy Policy: https://gymxp.co.uk/privacy
