You don't need another fitness app with 200 exercises you'll never do. You need one routine. Four moves. A timer that tells you what's next. And a streak that keeps you coming back. Super Simple Workout is the daily bodyweight workout that takes the thinking out of exercise. Same 4 exercises, every time. Push-ups. Lunges. Pull-ups. Plank. Pick your pace, hit start, and follow the timer. WHY IT WORKS Most people don't quit fitness because they're lazy. They quit because every workout app wants to be a lifestyle platform. SSW doesn't. It's a timer with a routine — and that's exactly why it sticks. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your pace — Quick (2 circuits), Medium (3), or Long (4). 2. Hit start — SSW handles the countdown, rest periods, and transitions. 3. Done — close the app. Come back tomorrow. Watch your streak grow. YOUR DAILY ROUTINE - Push-ups — chest, shoulders, triceps - Lunges — quads, glutes, balance - Pull-ups — back, biceps, grip - Plank — core stability, endurance BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO - Want a daily workout that takes minutes, not hours - Are tired of fitness apps that feel like a full-time job - Start routines and quit because there's too much to think about - Need consistency, not variety UNLOCK PRO - Full workout history with calendar view - Weekly stats, trends, and completion rates - Personal records tracking - iCloud sync across all your Apple devices The workout is free. Forever. Pay once to unlock history, stats, and sync. No subscription. No renewal. No tricks.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GymRat at none against SSW's 1. SSW's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
