I got fed up with gym apps… so I built my own simple workout tracker

Hey everyone 👋 

  

I’ve been training for years and every workout tracker I tried eventually annoyed me. 

  

It was always one of these: 

•	Way too cluttered 

•	Locked behind subscriptions 

•	Overengineered with AI and features I never asked for 

•	Or impossible to edit properly once a workout was logged 

  

So instead of going back to messy Notes… I built my own app: GymLogs. 

  

The goal was simple: a no-nonsense workout log that stays out of your way. 

What it does: 

•	Log workouts by date 

•	Organise exercises into categories 

•	Edit exercise names globally (old logs update automatically) 

•	Copy past workouts to save time. 

•	Get notified when you match or beat previous PRs 

  

That’s it. No fluff. No subscription wall. You workout rather than the app working you out. 

 

I originally built it just for myself, but now I’m at the point where I want real feedback before deciding where to take it next. 

  

I’d honestly love to hear: 

•	What features you actually use in a gym log/tracker app 

•	What drives you crazy about existing ones 

•	Do you prefer simple & editable or feature-packed? 

 

If anyone wants to try it or give me constructive criticism, I’m all ears. 

Appreciate you reading.
