Gym Companion Apps

Make your visit to the gym worthwhile

Overview

Let's face it: many people who go to the gym are not sure how to get the most out of their workouts. This AppGuide will give you apps that suggest workout plans, describe the exercises, graph of your progress, and more.

Essential Apps

$3.99
GymGoal Plus

by SmalTek

GymGoal is undoubtedly the best app for any gym user. The features of this app are mind-blowing and they include things like multiple user accounts, instructions for exercise with videos, and preset workout routines (you can also add your own if you wish). The app can also do body measurement tracking, present graphs of your progress, and workout scheduling. However, what I found to be the coolest feature of GymGoal is its ability to view previous exercises by muscles, which means that you can see the muscles that you concentrate on the most and the ones that you neglect. With that being said, I cannot stress more that GymGoal is the top app in its category and a must-have for any gym user.

Gym Buddy

by Anywise Enterprise, LLC

Gym Buddy is an amazing app for those who go to the gym religiously. The app has a wide variety of features that are extremely useful for gym goers. The first of those is of course the workout tracker, which allows you to login the exercise you did along with further details, such as the amount of weight, reps, rest period and previous workouts of that exercise. Gym Buddy also gives you a calendar view of all of your activity in a given time period. Finally, the app presents information graphs about topics such as your Workout Volume in a time period. Overall, this app is a must-have for all of those who go to the gym and take it seriously enough to want a comprehensive look of their efforts.

Nike Training Club

by Nike, Inc.

Nike Training Club, much like the other apps here, is like your own personal trainer in your pocket. With features such a video workouts, statistics of previous workouts and motivational audio along the way, you can’t go wrong with this beautifully designed and free app.

Notable Apps

$1.99
GymBio Pro

by Abhinov

This gym app is great for the social network types. Its feature set is similar to every other app listed here with some powerful social features as well. These include sharing your exercises with your friends on Facebook as well as other users of the app. The cons of the app are definitely its horrible interface and lack of intuitiveness. But overall, if you like sharing your exercises with others and can put up with a sometimes difficult to use interface, then give GymBio Pro a try.

Workout Logger

by Eitan Rosenfeld

Workout Logger is a simple app compared to the others listed here. What it primarily does is allow you to add to add exercises with further detail and set goals for yourself while presenting graphs of your progress. That's about the extent of this app's functionality, and I recommend it only to those who want a simplified experience.

Decent Apps

$1.99
Fit Phone

by bedaronco

Fit Phone is another app that shares many features with the other apps listed here, including workout logs, rest timers, graphs, and a calendar view of your exercises. Fit Phone can also track you weight losses and gains and has the ability to track runs outside with a map view too; making it a nice option for those who like to workout both inside and outside despite its comparatively high price.
$2.99
Gym Tracker

by ChineseLearnOnline.com

Gym Tracker is plainly not the greatest app in its category. It lacks the fundamental features of its competitors and has a terrible interface as well. My advice is to just skip over this app and look at the other options here instead.
