Read full description

GymLoop is a gym tracker built around one idea: your training runs on a rotation, not a calendar. Define your split once โ€” Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, or anything custom โ€” 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 โ€ข One big Start button โ€” today's day and exercises, ready to go โ€ข Set โ†’ rest โ†’ set: timers cycle automatically with a glanceable progress ring โ€ข Log reps and weight in two taps; last-time weights prefill โ€ข Rest alerts fire even with the screen locked โ€ข Prefer phone-in-pocket? Track just your gym time and back-fill exercises later โ€ข Starter routines built in โ€” Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, PPLร—2, Arnold, Full Body โ€” or build your own โ€ข Supersets: pair exercises and GymLoop bounces between them before the rest โ€ข Plate calculator: tap a weight and see what to load on each side โ€ข Warm-up hints: a bar-to-working-weight ramp on heavy first sets โ€ข A quiet progression coach: hit your target reps and next session prefills a small increase โ€ข Share a session card when you hit something worth showing APPLE WATCH (PRO) โ€ข Run whole sessions from your wrist โ€” phone optional โ€ข Today's exercises, set/rest timers, rep and weight logging, haptic when rest ends โ€ข Real heart rate and calories, saved to Apple Health from the watch โ€ข Start on the phone and the watch records alongside, automatically STAY ON THE HOOK (GENTLY) โ€ข Streaks and a GitHub-style training heatmap โ€ข A weekly recap every Monday: sessions, volume, new top sets (Pro) โ€ข A soft reminder at your usual gym time โ€” never a nag โ€ข Home Screen widgets that answer one question: "what do I do next?" โ€ข Live Activity with the active set and rest countdown BODY TRACKING, PRIVATE โ€ข Bodyweight, waist, biceps + custom measurements โ€ข Progress photos by pose, compared side-by-side โ€” stored only on your device and your private iCloud โ€ข BMI and goal tracking TRENDS (PRO) โ€ข Per-exercise charts: top set, estimated 1RM, volume โ€ข Measurement trend lines โ€ข Apple Health import for workouts and bodyweight YOUR DATA IS YOURS Everything lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. No account, no third-party servers, no analytics. We never see your data. Your progress photos never leave your device and your private iCloud. No one can see them โ€” not a server, not us. Available in English, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. GymLoop Pro (optional): Trends, photo studio, custom measurements, Health import, the Apple Watch app, and lock-screen widgets โ€” $2.99/month, $19.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $49.99 lifetime. The free tier is a complete gym tracker with your full history, forever.
