Gymshark Training and Fitness 4+

The library of individual exercises is the main reason why I switched. Not only does it incorporate strengths, but stretches and that was key. This application seems to constantly update, taking into consideration the improvements that can be made. If I had any suggestions it would be to continue to update the individual exercise library. Allow for two different timers, one for after a set is done and another when the exercise as a whole is done. As I continue to use this application more I’ll come back and give more suggestions.

*Update*

As I dive deeper into using this application I have a few more suggestions that I’ve noticed would make a huge difference. The ability to search your progress when already starting a workout. I find myself often times wondering what my last weight was in previous gym sessions, unfortunately once you start a workout you lose the ability to do anything else in the application. Which brings me to a similar issue, when creating two different workouts that may carry the same exercise the progress doesn’t display for both. Somehow making progress and stats a little more on the forefront and available during workouts would be of tremendous help.

Thanks for dropping by with more improvements, we’re always looking for ways to make things the best they can be in the App. If you can send us all this lovely feedback via our Support button is in the Settings tab so we can accurately log this for you🦈💙

I absolutely love this app. I use it for every workout and have since the app started a couple months back. I love the video tutorials, workout library, ability to add exercises, along with all the other amazing features. I think where this app could be improved is in the social aspect as well as the tracking progress. I wish there was an ability to add friends through the app, so then you have the flexibility to share and send workouts to friends to challenge them to your workouts. There is a feature currently similar, but you can't share your workout with the reps and weights you hit without taking a bunch of screenshots. It would nice just to simply share to your gym buddies via the app. It would also be cool to have a graph of progress made over time by different exercises. Currently it only promotes max in 3 major lifts (squat bench and deadlift) having a more comprehensive and detailed list would motivate gym goers even more! Love the app and can't wait to see all the improvements through the future

Hey👋 Thanks so much for your amazing message, we love hearing stuff like this and we’re always looking for ways to improve the App. This has been passed on to the dev team. If you want to send us an app query in future for anything - our Support button is in the Settings tab to send us a DM🦈

Overall the app and the workouts are great, but there are a few capabilities that would put it over the top. The primary one is allowing for notes on individual exercises during the workout. You can add them later or add a bulk note at the end of the workout, but having them on the actual movement would help a lot. Second, make it easier to view history of what you did on previous workouts, plus the notes that went with it. Lastly, allow for swapping out exercises with alternatives. For example, using dumbbells instead of cables.

Adding later: in the workout catalog, you can sort by type of equipment, but it doesn’t give you an option for cable machines. My gym doesn’t have them, and due to other issues listed above, I can’t easily substitute without completely throwing off my metrics. I usually just list the alternate weight and change the reps to 0 to signal to myself that is swapped something out, but then it’s on my memory to remember what I did

Again, app has a lot of potential and is good at lots of aspects, but the capabilities listed above would put it over the top!

Hey,

It's great to hear from you! Hearing real-life feedback with both positive points and possible areas for improvement is so helpful!

We'll be passing this on to the App team to review. If you have anything further to add, please let us know!

We love the suggestion of being able to swap parts of exercises to fit into your routine. Genius idea!

Thanks,
