Gymaholic Workout Planner

Well since the 6.0 update with iOS 11 and WatchOS 4 they decided to make “Premium” and displease all current Pro users. That is what dropped the app from its original 4.8 to now 4.3 stars. Here’s where things get good. The developers actually LISTENED! Version 6.1 was released. They gave Pro users back all their features, after all we are the reason for the success of the app. If there is any one thing I expect from an app and it’s developers is LOYALTY. 6.0 was a swing and a miss. They got back up to bat and hit a homer with 6.1. I know for those of you that were not Pro users and are considering the $32/year, let me tell you this is the best weight training app that has ever hit the App Store or that ever will in my opinion. I can’t believe it’s not an Apple “essential” or “editors pick.” With that said is it worth what they are asking? I’d say YES. Adding a few bucks a month on top of your gym membership with this app will change your gym experience completely. Apple Watch users: this is the most functional and well put together app for the Apple Watch that has been developed thus far. I don’t bring my phone to the gym and I love it. This app has everything you need to be successful and progress in your fitness goals.

Congratulations to the Gymaholic app developers for creating this amazing tool to help me with my goals! If you’re considering to download this app as a trial, then I highly recommend it! Once you see how well Gymaholic is designed to be used as reference tool, a digital personal trainer and to document your physical progress....then signing up for a subscription is a simple decision. I downloaded 6 other workout apps first and was ready to purchase a year’s worth on another app for twice as much $...and have since deleted on those other apps after I tried Gymaholic. I use my Apple Watch with this app and it’s well...really cool. Each night, I create my own customizable workout for the next day and actually look forward to going to the gym to use it! (although there’s plenty of downloadable workouts to choose from as well). The workouts can be created to be used in several locations based on the equipment and it really makes it an enjoyable and useful tool for me. Devenyl Gabor....you guys did a GREAT job on this app and it shows how much effort was made to do it right. Congrats! -T. Shobe

So I’m am the furthest person from being fit; although I do try to work out and I have downloaded several workout apps. I have downloaded this one in hopes that I would 1) not quit 2) get stronger as well as recovery, and 3) giving me work outs plans as well as feedback on my weight loss. Be warned though, I have only been able to use this once. The work out that I did kept track of all exercises in the gym so I liked that as well is that I didn’t have to carry my phone as it has a Apple Watch link so I just had to put all info in on my watch. Next, I got this app to get stronger for sure but also recovery. I was diagnosed with a femoral neck stress fracture and also to do my physical therapy with it too. It’s a plus that I can keep records for the doc on what I’ve done. Last, I like how the pro version offers several work out plans so I never had to guess on what I want to do in the gym. Last, I like with the weight measurements, it gives you a visual of what you look like and see how much you have lost. My recommendation is to get this app and if you can afford it, get the pro version.

Over the last year, I’ve downloaded practically every major workout app on the App Store and put each through at least a weeklong trial run: Strong, Fitbod, SmartGym, Jefit and too many others to remember. All of them had something lacking. And when I wrote their developers, they almost always had some sort of arrogant reply, like they don’t have the time to work on my request (after agreeing it was a great request!), or they just didn’t think making their app more user-friendly was the right way to go. Then, I stumbled upon Gymaholic. And it’s just awesome. They’ve thought of everything. And although, at first, you might think their screens are too busy, try it for a week, and you’ll quickly see how intuitive it really is. I love how it works great on my Watch. I love that you can choose to use or ignore their bells and whistles, I love their animated views so you can capture the best form. Gymaholic has all the best features of all the above mentioned apps, and none of their bad features. Plus, it’s less than the cost of a frap at Starbucks a month. Way to go!!

I thought Gymaholic was going to be my final workout tracking app. All I really wanted was the ability to create folders because I create my own workouts and like to keep them in categories. My request was finally heard by Gymaholic but now after already paying $15 (which was already a little steep comparatively speaking), they want me to spend $32 per year just to get folders and a white background! Forget that! And maybe I would like some of the other features in the new premium version, if I do that’s great but if I don’t...I can never downgrade! It’s just not worth the chance, so goodbye Gymaholic and hello HeavySet (I kinda missed you anyway). Don’t be sad Gymaholic I’ll keep you on my phone in hopes that you’ll come up with a better pricing model (Gymaholic 2 for $30 and I own it). Edit: I have to say thanks to the developer for hearing our concerns and addressing them so quickly! I’m changing my rating to 5 stars for the customer service alone, and I plan upgrading to the premium (just for a year) to show support to the developer. Thanks again!
