Walk into the gym knowing exactly what to lift today. GymLogger X is a strength training log for iPhone and Apple Watch. Open it and today's workout is already waiting. There are no ads, and there is no account to make. FOLLOW A PROVEN PLAN Pick one of 44 ready-made programs. Six are free, and the other 38 come with Pro. If you want a plan shaped around you, the Smart Program Creator builds one with a rep range and an RIR (reps in reserve) target for every exercise. It's free to use for one program at a time. With Pro, you can also import your own program, RIR or RPE included. REST BY HEART RATE With Apple Watch, the rest timer follows your heart rate, so you start the next set when your body is ready instead of when a clock says so. The Apple Watch app is free. A plate calculator works out what goes on the bar, so you skip the math at the rack. SPOT A STALL (PRO) A lift that hasn't moved in a month is easy to miss when you're the one lifting it. GymLogger X watches your own logs and flags a plateau with a fixed rule. It also shows fatigue as it builds and points out muscle imbalances. The rep-max table covers 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 reps. 1,500 EXERCISES Build your sessions from 1,500 exercises. Pro adds animated demos, so you can see how a movement is done before you try it. YOUR TRAINING AT A GLANCE Lock Screen widgets keep your training one look away, and some sizes need Pro. On iOS 27 with Pro, six widgets can each fill a whole Home Screen page. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Unfold your iPhone Duo and GymLogger X uses the big screen. 40 LANGUAGES Use GymLogger X in any of 40 languages. GYMLOGGER X PRO GymLogger X is free to download. Pro comes as a monthly or yearly plan, each with a one-week free trial, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Every Pro plan works with Family Sharing, so one purchase can cover your family.
