Gym Workout Tracker AI

Read full description

Log a set in 2 taps. Run PPL, Fullbody or your own split. 350+ exercises with animations. Ask Buddy AI what to change - it knows your weights and progress. BUDDY AI - A TRAINING PARTNER THAT KNOWS YOUR NUMBERS Charts, muscle map and volume are there so data means something. Buddy goes one step further and reads it for you. • Ask how you are doing and get an answer built on your numbers • Ask for a plan in one sentence, then refine it in conversation • Change an exercise, the sets or a whole day in plain language • You confirm every proposal, nothing changes on its own • Buddy does not advise on pain, injury or health. That is for a doctor or a physiotherapist YOUR DATA WORKS FOR YOU Every session you log is another data point of progress. Per-exercise progression charts, weekly volume with trend, a calendar with workout streaks, monthly reports. What you used to count by hand in a spreadsheet, Pully shows on its own - clear and instant. MUSCLE MAP AND RADAR A silhouette shows which muscle groups you train most. A 6-axis radar and per-muscle set count reveal the gaps in your plan - train balanced, not blind. YOUR PLAN, YOUR LOGIC Pully maps to how you think about training - not the other way around. PPL, Fullbody, custom split. Multi-week cycles, configurable day names, cross-sectional table view. Nothing gets flattened to fit a template you didn't design. READY-MADE PLANS AND TEMPLATES Browse ready plans (PPL, FBW, Upper/Lower) and templates (Push/Pull/Legs). Add one with a single tap, then edit it your way. Start in 30 seconds - the rest stays in your hands. FASTEST LOGGING • Sets x reps x weight x RIR - in 2 taps • Auto-fill from your last session (per exercise variant) • Rest timer starts on its own, RIR at hand • Faster than writing it down in a notebook FULL EXERCISE LIBRARY 350+ exercises, each with an animation and step-by-step instructions. Variant system (barbell / dumbbell / machine / cable) with separate history and auto-fill - a neutral grip is not the same as overhand. PREMIUM - YOUR DATA IN ACTION • Buddy AI - talk about your training and change your plan • Progression charts per exercise (1RM, volume, sets) • Muscle map and radar - see imbalances and gaps • Weekly sets per muscle group (hard sets in range) • PR tracking with new record notifications • Body measurements and charts over time • Supersets, drop sets, multiple active plans YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL Offline-first - works without internet, syncs in the background. CSV/JSON export always free, your data is never held hostage. Account (Apple / email) = data safe and accessible on any device. Core is free. Premium shows the full picture of your progress.
