Domino427 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Tried to do a search, but "app" is under the 4 character minimum Anyone have a recommendation for a great app to track my workouts? I just want to be able to build out my plan (basic 3-day/week plan) and track my progress. Thanks all!

MsFitz Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Fitocracy comes to mind first. I have a few others I use, but I still put them in to fitocracy. For lifting, I use Multi Year Weight Training App. I follow madcow on it, but you can build your own program (for a fee) or follow one of many programs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk.

Oramac Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have a similar question: anyone know of a tracking app that does not connect to facebook/twitter/internet/anythingatall? Literally I just want to type in my workout and that's it. Don't care about sharing it or any of that jazz.

Korvida Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have been using Livestrong's MyPlate App for about two years. I can't speak to how it compares to other apps but I do like that I don't have to hook into it with my facebook or twittter account (it is online access though). I find the iphone version much less glitchy and has more features than the android version (for instance, you can turn on motion tracking with the iphone and it will deduct calories you "burn" based on the motion it senses from your total calories consumed throughout the day as long as the phone is on you). The downside of the app is that the free version is full of ads, but you only need to pay 99 cents if you want to get rid of that. You can use your account to sync your app data with your other devices such as a PC. I find the website has a few more options than the app as well, such as mapping out loops for running/biking that you can then log as part of your fitness tally for the day. You can also create meals, and recipes that automatically add up calories for your custom food creations. If a food item is not in their database you can add it by submitting a nutrition label so that Livestrong can verify it. All in all I have found this combination of website+app food and fitness tracking to be very useful for me. I hope this info helps you! 1 Quote Level: 3 Race: Human-Wood Elf Hybrid Class: Rebel[STR - 1] [DEX - 1] [STA - 8] [CON - 7] [WIS - 13] [CHA - 3]4th Challenge3rd Challenge/Reboot2nd Challenge1st (half) ChallengeMyFitnessPal Link to comment

AngelaTheGeek Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 For logging without points or social media: https://thesquatrack.com/ It's still in beta, but should be opening up soon. I don't believe there is any talk of an app though. I'm also checking out this one: http://www.weighttraining.com/ USAW partners with them, so I thought it might be worth checking out. There's also an app, I believe. I used to use fitocracy, but found it doesn't really cover the kinds of exercises that I do on a regular basis. That's only because I do very specialized exercises for my weightlifting training though, so you probably won't run into that. 1 Quote 90+ Masters Weightlifter Current Lift PRs Snatch: 93kg/205lb // Clean and Jerk: 113kg/248lb // Back Squat: 170kg/375lb Spoiler 2016 USAW Senior Nationals - 6th place 2015 USAW American Open - 8th place 2015 USAW Senior Nationals - 9th place 2014 USAW Senior Nationals - 9th place 2013 USAW Senior Nationals - 9th place Instagram - MyFitnessPal Link to comment

It is interesting though, after I filled out the basic profile, I left the "calories per day" blank because I flat don't know. It still gave me a "B" for my diet grade. lol.

Kaylya Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've been using an app for Android called Redy Gym Log - you can set up different routines and then it's very simple to log, if you're doing the same weight/reps as last time it's one button. I didn't realize until recently that you can swipe sideways to go back/forward to the next exercise. It starts with a few exercises built in, you can easily add more, it's really just a name. Only thing I'd like it to do that it doesn't do is tracking negative weight (e.g. assisted pull ups). It has a sharing button if you want to share your exercises, but it doesn't do it automatically nor is it in your face about it. I share it to Runkeeper so I can keep track of all of my workouts online somewhere. After using it for a few weeks I upgraded to premium to get extra graphs and stuff (and to support the developer!), I forget how much it was but something around $5.

redimagination Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I use runkeeper for any outdoor activity. For gym/ indoor workouts I stick it into an evernote note. All my workouts go onto fitocracy at the end but I don't really like the phone app. It works for me Quote Current Challenge Previous challenges:7, 6, 5, 4, 3. 2, 1 I am the one thing in life I can control Link to comment
JesterShay Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I really like FitNotes. It's great if you're tracking reps and weight for weight lifting and time and distance for cardio. I like that I can track both in a single app. I'm on Android, not sure if there's an iOS version. 1 Quote Link to comment
mzmtg Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I use FitNotes: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.jamesgay.fitnotes&hl=en It's just a tracker, nothing fancy, but it works. 2 Quote That time I did 1,998 pull ups"Take care of your meat wagon!" - Joe Rogan Link to comment

Oramac Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I don't do weights...I just do exercises with reps...is there one that does body weight exercises? You could probably use any of them, and just put "zero" in the weight blank.

Evicious Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I don't do weights...I just do exercises with reps...is there one that does body weight exercises? Fitocracy allows you to differentiate between body weight, free weight and machine variations of most exercises.
