GymTrack Pro is the fastest, smartest workout tracker ever built for serious lifters. Log a set in one tap. Track every rep, every weight, every PR across every gym machine you use. Built by lifters who were tired of clunky apps that slow you down between sets. KEY FEATURES - Log in seconds — Type your weight, type your reps, tap done. The rest timer starts automatically. No menus, no friction. - Never guess weights again — Machine variant tracking remembers that 50kg on the Cybex leg extension is not the same as 50kg on the Life Fitness. Switch machines with one tap, and your weight history updates to match. - Smart plate calculator — Think in plates, not math. Just tap 20, 10, 5, 2.5 — your bar weight is calculated automatically. Customize your gym's available plates so you never see weights you can't actually load. - Upper/Lower, PPL, Full Body — Build workout cycles the way you actually train. Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower 1, Lower 2 — or any structure you want. Rotate through cycles, duplicate them for next phase. - Exercise alternatives — Barbell bench taken? Swap to dumbbell bench with one tap. Keep your sets and reps, pick up where you left off. - Supersets, warm-ups, and goals — Group supersets visually. Mark warm-up sets so they don't pollute your PR tracking. Set targets — "8-12 reps, 1 RIR" — and see them right on your log screen. - Track every PR — Every time you hit a new max weight or rep, GymTrack Pro celebrates. Your progress charts show real lines of progression, not just numbers. - Rest timer that knows you — Set a default, override per exercise. Vibration when time's up. Skip with a tap. Never over-rest again. - KG and LBS — One tap to switch. Your history converts on the fly.

GymLoop is a gym tracker built around one idea: your training runs on a rotation, not a calendar. Define your split once — Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, or anything custom — and GymLoop always knows what's next. Skip three days? It still serves the right day. Gone longer? It offers a gentle full-body reset, then hands control back to your cycle. THE WORKOUT LOOP • One big Start button — today's day and exercises, ready to go • Set → rest → set: timers cycle automatically with a glanceable progress ring • Log reps and weight in two taps; last-time weights prefill • Rest alerts fire even with the screen locked • Prefer phone-in-pocket? Track just your gym time and back-fill exercises later • Starter routines built in — Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, PPL×2, Arnold, Full Body — or build your own • Supersets: pair exercises and GymLoop bounces between them before the rest • Plate calculator: tap a weight and see what to load on each side • Warm-up hints: a bar-to-working-weight ramp on heavy first sets • A quiet progression coach: hit your target reps and next session prefills a small increase • Share a session card when you hit something worth showing APPLE WATCH (PRO) • Run whole sessions from your wrist — phone optional • Today's exercises, set/rest timers, rep and weight logging, haptic when rest ends • Real heart rate and calories, saved to Apple Health from the watch • Start on the phone and the watch records alongside, automatically STAY ON THE HOOK (GENTLY) • Streaks and a GitHub-style training heatmap • A weekly recap every Monday: sessions, volume, new top sets (Pro) • A soft reminder at your usual gym time — never a nag • Home Screen widgets that answer one question: "what do I do next?" • Live Activity with the active set and rest countdown BODY TRACKING, PRIVATE • Bodyweight, waist, biceps + custom measurements • Progress photos by pose, compared side-by-side — stored only on your device and your private iCloud • BMI and goal tracking TRENDS (PRO) • Per-exercise charts: top set, estimated 1RM, volume • Measurement trend lines • Apple Health import for workouts and bodyweight YOUR DATA IS YOURS Everything lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud.
