Progress Pic

Read full description

Progress Pic makes check-in photos easy. We built it because doing check-ins from a camera roll was a mess: hunting for last week's photos, cropping them to match, and lining them up by hand to see what changed. Progress Pic walks you through each pose, keeps every check-in in order, and puts any two side by side in a couple of taps. It works whether you're 16 weeks out from a show or just want to see if the gym is working. PICK YOUR PATH Competitor? Choose your division and get NPC-accurate mandatory poses in the right order — Bikini, Wellness, Figure, Fitness, Women's Physique, Women's Bodybuilding, Men's Physique, Classic Physique, Men's Bodybuilding, Fit Model, Wheelchair. Just tracking your body? Pick Body Transformation and get four simple stances with zero bodybuilding jargon. GUIDED CHECK-INS Log your fasted weight, shoot each pose with your iPhone camera, pick your best shot, done. Take as many attempts as you want; keep the one that counts. Already have photos? Log past check-ins from your library. SEND TO YOUR COACH IN ONE TAP A clean update — name, weight change, fasted status, and your photos — through whatever you already use: iMessage, email, WhatsApp. No new platform for your coach to learn. COMPARE LIKE A PRO (Pro) Put any two check-ins side by side — this week vs. last week, or day one vs. stage day. Crop and align each side, then save or send the comparison. This is the part other apps get wrong. TRACK THE WHOLE PREP (Pro) Organize check-ins into preps, set a baseline, and follow each prep from first check-in to show day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos and check-ins stay on your device. No account. No cloud. No analytics. Turn on Save to Photos if you want an iCloud backup — your call. FREE TO START Guided check-ins, your check-in history, and coach updates are free. Progress Pic Pro unlocks Compare, comparison exports, and prep management, with a 14-day free trial. Built by NatsFitness LLC — a coach and a competitor who actually do this.
