Progress your way. Progress tracks your workouts, automates your progression, and takes the guesswork out of your training — so you can focus on lifting. WORKOUT TRACKING Log every set, rep, and weight with a clean, distraction-free interface. Built-in rest timers keep you on pace. Exercise notes keep your cues close. ADVANCED TRAINING Automatic progressive overload — set a weight increment per exercise and the app adds it after every successful session. No spreadsheets. No manual tracking. Pyramid sets — assign each set its own weight and rep target. The app sequences through automatically and the plate calculator updates for each set. Supersets — group exercises back-to-back with a live display of what's next so you never lose your place. Plate calculator — built into every exercise. Shows exactly which plates to load, updated for every set. Full exercise customisation — control weight type, sets, reps, rest time, and progression settings per exercise. AI PROGRAM BUILDER Answer a few questions about your goals, experience, available equipment, and any injuries or constraints. The AI builds a complete multi-week training program tailored to you. Not a template. Ask the AI to adjust it if anything isn't right. AI WORKOUT BUILDER Need a single session? Generate a workout built around your goals and equipment in minutes. AI NUTRITION PLANS Tell the AI your goals and dietary preferences — it generates a personalised nutrition plan with calorie targets, macros, and meal guidance. Export it as a PDF to keep on hand. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every lift you log builds your history. Per-exercise charts show your strength trends over time — weight moved, estimated 1RMs, and personal records in one view. AI COACH Ask the built-in AI coach anything — form tips, program adjustments, recovery advice. It knows your history and gives answers based on your actual data, not generic advice. APPLE WATCH Leave your phone in your bag. Track full workouts from your wrist with heart rate monitoring and a live rest timer. LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND Your rest timer lives in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen — always know when it's time for the next set. iCLOUD SYNC Your workouts, programs, and history sync automatically across your iPhone and Apple Watch. APPLE HEALTH Progress writes your completed workouts to Apple Health, keeping all your fitness data in one place. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from four themes — Forest, Ocean, Bloom, and High Contrast — and set your preferred weight units. Download Progress and start training your way.

Track your workouts. Crush your goals. GymApp is a focused, no-fluff workout tracker built for people who follow training splits and want to build consistent gym habits. Whether you're running Push/Pull/Legs, an upper/lower split, or your own custom program — GymApp keeps you on track without getting in your way. Workout Splits, Done Right Build your training split from scratch: name your training days, assign exercises, and set target sets and reps. GymApp automatically tracks which day you're on in the cycle, so there's zero mental math before you walk in the gym. Need to skip a day? Push it to tomorrow or skip and advance — your cycle stays intact either way. Log Sets Like It's Nothing The workout screen is built for speed. Tap through your exercises, enter weight and reps, and check off each set. A live timer runs in the background so you always know how long you've been training — and if life interrupts, pause your workout and pick up exactly where you left off. Real Progress, Not Vanity Metrics GymApp calculates volume-based progress (weight × reps × sets) for every exercise, so you can see how much stronger you've actually gotten — not just whether you did the reps. Track personal records, consecutive training streaks, and all-time session counts for every split day. Daily Routines & Streaks Staying consistent isn't just about lifting. Add daily habits — morning stretches, a 10k step goal, evening cardio — and track your streak alongside your workouts. The flame badge keeps you accountable without being annoying. A Calendar That Actually Helps Switch between a monthly overview with completion indicators and a daily detail view showing every set, rep, and routine logged. Look back at any past date and see exactly what you did. Built for iOS Apple Health integration — automatically fills in biometrics so setup is instant Live Activity support — glance at your workout progress right from the lock screen Haptic feedback throughout for a native, responsive feel Offline-first — your data stays on device, always available GymApp is for intermediate gym-goers who know what they want: a clean, reliable tracker that respects their training program and doesn't drown them in features they'll never use.
