Pay once, train forever. GymKeeper is the gym + cardio tracker built for lifters who are sick of subscriptions โ full Apple Watch app included, no extra fees, ever. Log every set, track every run, and watch your progress compound over weeks and months. STRENGTH TRAINING Build routines with your favourite exercises, log sets with weight and reps, and track personal records automatically.

A rest timer counts down between sets and surfaces on your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen so you never lose track. SMART WORKOUT GENERATOR (Pro) Don't know what to train today? Tap Surprise Me. GymKeeper looks at what you've actually been doing, finds the muscle groups you've let slide, skips anything you trained in the last 48 hours, and builds you a session โ with the weight and reps for every exercise already worked out from your own history. - Surprise Me, or pick your own muscles, or choose a Push or Pull day - Bodyweight-only mode for hotel rooms, parks and living rooms - Real progression: it adds load when you've earned it, holds when you haven't, and backs off when you've stalled - Swap any exercise before you start - Every suggestion explains itself in plain English MUSCLE BALANCE MAP A full-body diagram, front and back, with every major muscle shaded by how much you've trained it โ measured against what a balanced programme looks like, not just raw tonnage.
