Personal Trainer: Gravl 4+

I underestimated this app, so much I was using it as a back up to my main workout app and I purchased the app by accident but decided to keep it. So glad I did. This app is exactly everything I need. It has options for home gym vs commercial gyms and you can select the equipment you have at both places so it’s not recommending exercise for equipment you don’t have. I like that AI chooses my workout, I don’t care what body part I work, as long as I’m lifting. I don’t have to think about it. I also like that you can tell the app not to recommend exercises anymore. There are just exercises I’m not doing so I like the option of never seeing them again and only doing what I like. I appreciate the pause button because whether I’m at home or at the gym there will always be an interruption. Although you can add friends I like the no social option of not making friends on the app or having to like a post or comment on another. I am very busy and I just want to do my workout and go. No time to like and comment on OPW (other people’s workout). There are so many things to like about this app that I did not know or appreciate in the beginning so take some time to get to know it and how it works. I didn’t do that but so glad I stuck with it. It’s obvious the creators of the app are also users of the app and they thought of everything. I’m no longer using the app I switched from, this one has everything. I will be renewing my subscription.

Here are the 3 reasons I love it:

1- Custom Gym Profiles and Workouts. Whether I am at my home gym, a neighbors clubhouse, or on the road at a hotel, I can a gym profiles which includes all of the equipment that are available at each gym. From there it builds my daily workout using only the equipment I have available at the time.

2- Tracking and Program Building. Everyday is a new workout based on what muscle groups are ready to be worked. It tells me how many sets, reps, and weight that I need to do. It makes me log every rep. At the end of each muscle group it has me tell it how many more reps I could have done. It then uses AI to build my next workouts and will tell me what to do. It took a few tries to get this dialed in, but after a few workouts it works amazing!

3- Gamification. The app has an area called Strength Score. The app estimates your 1RM results for each workout you do. It takes a few of those and compares them to others who are in similar height and weight categories to you. It then gives you a score so you know how you compare and can see that you are progressing.
