PUSH Workout & Gym Tracker 4+

I’ve been using push for a couple of months now, pretty much since it came out - it’s the best workout tracker I’ve used by far for my needs. I don’t have time to be deep on the subreddits then programming in my own workouts. I love how Push does all the programming, the increments, the new exercises all for me.
There are a few things that could be improved:
- I sometimes switch the exercise (great feature) but I’d like to be able to specify if this was a one-off (machine was busy) or permanent (my gym doesn’t have that machine)
- the weight increases don’t seem to correspond to standard increments. Plates in the gyms I use increment at 1.25kg, but rubber dumbbells increment at 2kgs, so on a movement like dumbbell shoulder press, the only increment I can do is 4, but Push either increase in 2s or 2.5s.
Overall great app!

I’ve waited a couple of months to write this review but now the glitches in the app are making it too annoying and frustrating.
Overall it’s a great app, progressive overload, some good info points, helpful exercise graphics etc.

What let’s it down though, are the glitches. For example, the assisted pull up is random AF. Can’t work out what it’s saying. I’m 82kg and it’s saying next time I need to lift -128kg. Next time it might say -49kg. Too varied, too random. Some explanation of what it’s suggesting would at least help.

Often the graphics are frozen, and if you wanna choose an alternative exercise it gives you a list choice of alternatives to fit that muscle group but doesn’t give any indication what the exercise actually is. Not great for beginners.

Support is good if you email, but who’s got time to keep doing that??

Some exercises have two weight stacks, is the suggested weight a total of the two stacks or the weight for each stack or each dumbbell?

These are things that aren’t gonna ruin your workout but it’s seriously jarring having to spend time precious gym time trying to work out what the app is suggesting instead of everything being made clear so you can just get on with lifting.

All in all for all my complaints it’s an effective and helpful app and has great potential but a lot of kinks need ironing out if I’m gonna commit another years money on the subscription.

This app is quality, I’ve been a Personal Trainer & Strength and Conditioning coach for 10+ years now and as most coaches know, programming for your self after dozens of clients is the last thing you want to do… This app makes life easier for you by creating research based programs that (in my opinion) are faultless…

Only a couple of things I would Change/Add, one being the option to rate the workout and how the individual felt during. This would make the program more personal to them and make users feel better about not having such a good session when they could potentially write why they feel it wasn’t so great).

The addition of different training goals/methods would also be sick (Strength specific or even CV programs etc).

Whether or not these features are added I love the app, it’s easy to use and the programs are both research based and easy to edit if I fancy a change of exercise/programme. Can’t Fault the fee either.

Good work Joey D 🙌🏻
