AI-Driven Smart Fitness Journal, WOD Generator, and now Workout Timer. rxJournal gives functional fitness athletes a better way to train with memory, context, and momentum. Instead of scattered notes, screenshots, and half-filled spreadsheets, you start by setting the goals that matter to you. -Use AI with voice or photo entries to quick capture your training day -Daily scores based on your entries across strength, cardio, skill, recovery, and nutrition. -Capture and save WODs with your camera directly from the gym whiteboard. -Generate WODs, warmups, and accessory work with the help of AI, tailored to your goals. -Share your journal with a coach or friends for accountability. Message and challenge them to workouts or entire Programs with in-app leaderboards. -Mark days where you felt fatigued or energized. Rest days are an option (and encouraged)... and any entry can be marked private for when your training needs privacy. -Export your workouts into ready to share social media images Each day, your entries are scored against your goals across five key categories: Strength. Cardio. Skill Work. Recovery. Nutrition. Over time, rxJournal helps you spot trends you can feel but usually can’t measure. You can track consistency with heatmaps and streaks, review performance across Today, 7-day, and 30-day windows, and get AI-generated summaries, goal spotlights, and recommendations based on your real training data. When you want ideas for what to do next, head to the WODs tab. Browse Hero + Girl WODs and Classics, save favorites, and create your own workouts. Use AI to generate custom WODs based on your goals and recent training, or create similar workouts when you want the same stimulus with a fresh twist. Log common score formats like AMRAP, For Time, EMOM, Tabata, and more, so your training history stays structured and useful. And when training is better with accountability, you can share your journal with a coach or another athlete. That makes it easier to show your work, share your progress, and have better conversations about what’s improving and what needs attention. rxJournal is your training command center: part journal, part score tracker, part progress coach. If you train hard and want your data to work just as hard, rxJournal was built for you. Track better. Recover smarter. Perform with purpose.
