What people say about GymLogger X

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 17 App Store ratings · quotes from the App Store and Reddit, unedited

I'm normally not interested in fitness apps but this one feels different. I created a smart program and I actually feel like it's doable. Thank you for creating something that makes sense to people who don't live in the gym.
K.D. · App Store · 5 of 5
Your app is much better than my initial impressions. The import function is actually well thought out. Other apps always failed to import my workouts — yours gave me options to define how the data works, so I imported everything painlessly.
P.O. · Reddit
Now this is an app for the gym. No crap that tries to get you to follow their routine. You can do your own. Logs your weight, your reps, and follows you. A fantastic app and well put together.
P.S. · Reddit
Really useful app with a clean and simple design. Everything works smoothly — great job by the developer.

Quotes shown verbatim. Names reduced to initials for privacy.

Last time's numbers, already in the row
Before you type anything, every set row shows your previous weight and reps and the target. Supersets and giant sets log like straight sets. The plate calculator works out each side of the bar from the plates your gym actually has, and the rest timer sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
44 programs, or one built around you
Six programs are free, including Linear 5×5 Foundation and The Golden Six. Pro adds 38 more, from push/pull/legs and the Texas Method to the Conjugate Method and a 6-week peaking block. The Smart Program Creator builds a plan around your equipment, schedule, goals, and injuries. Start a Pro program while subscribed and you can finish it even if the subscription ends.
Signals from your own logs
With Pro, the Next Move card tells you to rest, deal with a plateau, work on a weak point, or train as planned. Behind it are your readiness, weekly load ratio, recovery debt, muscle balance, and plateau status for each lift, all worked out on your iPhone with no chat bot involved.
Your wrist and your Home Screen
The free Apple Watch app logs sets and shows live heart rate, calories, and rest. Its Heart Rate Rest Timer can tell you when your heart rate has recovered. Twelve widgets, two Live Activities, and a Start Workout control (iOS 18 or later) keep today's plan in view; on iOS 27, six widgets can fill a whole Home Screen page with Pro.

We wanted a log that keeps up at the rack, a program we could follow without building one, and a clear signal when a lift stops moving. GymLogger X does those three things from your own training history, with the analysis worked out on your iPhone. It shows no ads, asks for no account, and keeps your workouts on your devices and in your own iCloud. Lagerland Apps is a small independent Apple studio in Finland, with no investors or advertisers behind it.

  • Workouts are stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud, and the app has no analytics SDKs
  • Lagerland's App Store catalogue is 20 privacy-first apps, all handling data the same way
  • Funded by people who buy the apps, with no ads or investors

Is GymLogger X right for you?

You'll love GymLogger X if…
  • You already lift and want a set logger that keeps up with weights, reps, supersets, and plates
  • You'd rather follow a proven program (5×5, push/pull/legs, upper/lower, full body, conjugate) than design one
  • You want estimated 1RM trends, PRs, volume per muscle, and plateau and fatigue signals from your own history
  • You wear an Apple Watch and want heart rate and calories attached to your lifting sessions
  • You're moving from a spreadsheet or another app and want to bring your history with you (CSV import, Pro)
  • You're a coach whose clients would rather follow your spreadsheet program in an app (Import Program, Pro)
GymLogger X may not be for you if…
  • You mostly do cardio or group fitness classes
  • You want an AI chat coach or follow-along video workouts
  • You want to train with only your Apple Watch: every workout starts on the iPhone
  • You use Android, or want your log on iPad or Mac (GymLogger X runs on iPhone, with an Apple Watch app)
  • You want workout reminders: the app sends no notifications

What you can do

Fast set logging
Start an empty workout or a saved template in two taps. Log weight and reps in kg or lbs, mark warm-up sets, add sets, swap an exercise for a program variant, and pick up where you left off if you leave mid-workout. The Workout Complete screen shows volume, your top lift, new records, and the muscles you trained.
Training Programs
44 ready-made programs, 1 to 8 weeks long, with filters for goal, level, days, and equipment. Six are free: Whole Body Program, The Golden Six, 2-, 3-, and 4-Day Split Routines, and Linear 5×5 Foundation. Pro adds 38, including push/pull/legs, German Volume Training, the Texas Method, Powerbuilding 5-Day, and Hybrid Strength (Lift + Run). Preview any program, or customize a copy.
Smart Program Creator
A step-by-step wizard asks about your equipment, goals, injuries, schedule, and preferences, then builds a program: full body, upper/lower, push/pull/legs, push/pull, Arnold, or bro split, for 4, 8, or 12 weeks or ongoing, with linear, undulating, block, or wave periodization. The preview shows deload weeks, a prehab warm-up, and injury accommodations, and you can swap exercises or regenerate. Free users keep one program at a time; Pro removes the limit.
Insights and plateau signals (Pro)
Estimated 1RM charts with a plateau status for each lift, readiness and fatigue signals, weekly load ratio, Push/Pull, Upper/Lower, and Front/Back balance, weekly sets per muscle against MEV, MAV, and MRV, a muscle heatmap over 7, 14, or 28 days, and every personal record in one list. Program reports end with adherence and a rule-based Coach Verdict.
Apple Watch app
Start the workout on your iPhone, then log sets on the wrist with weight and rep steppers, watch live heart rate, time, and calories, and run the rest ring with 15-second adjustments. Finished workouts are saved to Apple Health as strength training. The Watch app is free.
Widgets and Live Activities
Twelve widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, including Training Grid (a year of training, one square per day), Muscle Map, Today, Lift Ladder, and Record. Two Live Activities show the running workout and the rest countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Some small and Lock Screen sizes are free; the rest need Pro.

The method behind every insight.

GymLogger X turns the sets you log into a plain next step. It follows three steps, all on your iPhone.

  1. 01

    Log weight and reps

    Each set row shows your previous weight and reps and the target. Mark a set as a warm-up and it still counts toward tonnage but stays out of weekly set volume. Sessions from a deload week are recognized as deloads, and you can mark any past session as one.

  2. 02

    Estimate 1RM and follow the trend

    GymLogger X estimates your 1RM with the Epley formula from sets of 3 or more reps and charts it for every exercise. With Pro, Strength Progress shows the trend, a Rep-Max table, an overload score, and a plateau status for each lift.

  3. 03

    Read the next move

    With Pro, the Next Move card on the Progress tab says whether to rest, deal with a plateau, work on a weak point, or train as planned. Once you have enough history, up to three plain-language suggestions explain why. You decide what changes in your program.

How GymLogger X spots a stalled lift

The rule: Every logged set feeds an estimated 1RM for that exercise, using the Epley formula on sets of 3 or more reps. Strength Progress (Pro) charts that estimate over time, keeps a Rep-Max table of estimated against actual bests, and gives each lift an overload score and a status: Plateau, Watching, or Plateau Predicted. Insights then compares your recent training with your own history: readiness, weekly load ratio, recovery debt, Push/Pull, Upper/Lower, and Front/Back balance, and weekly hard sets per muscle against the MEV, MAV, and MRV volume landmarks. Warm-up sets and deload weeks stay out of the set counts.

What it does not do: Everything is worked out by fixed rules on your iPhone. There is no chat bot and no language model, and nothing is sent to a server. The Next Move card and up to three coaching suggestions tell you what your data shows, and any change to your program is yours to make. The app sends no notifications. Readiness, fatigue, and the conditioning score are training guidance, not medical advice.

How GymLogger X compares

Strong, Hevy, and Fitbod are popular, capable apps. These are the practical differences when you choose where to keep years of training history.

FAQ

What is GymLogger X?
GymLogger X is a strength training log for iPhone, with an Apple Watch app. You log sets with last time's numbers already in the row, follow one of 44 ready-made programs or one the Smart Program Creator builds for you, and, with Pro, get plateau, fatigue, and muscle-balance signals from your own logs. It has 1,500 exercises (animated demos with Pro) and runs in 40 languages. The core is free; Pro is $1.99/month or $17.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial, or $39.99 once.
How is GymLogger X different from Strong, Hevy, and Fitbod?
GymLogger X needs no account; when we checked on 2026-05-13, Strong, Hevy, and Fitbod all asked you to sign up. Its Apple Watch app is free and has a rest timer that can tell you when your heart rate has recovered. Pro comes as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. And its coaching is rule-based and worked out on your iPhone from your own logs, with no chat bot. The comparison pages go into detail: Strong and Fitbod.
What is the Smart Program Creator?
It is a wizard that builds a program from your equipment, goals, injuries, schedule, and preferences. You pick a split (full body, upper/lower, push/pull/legs, push/pull, Arnold, or bro split), days per week, session length, a length of 4, 8, or 12 weeks or ongoing, and linear, undulating, block, or wave periodization. Injuries are entered by body part, with movements to avoid. The preview shows deload weeks, a prehab warm-up, and injury accommodations, and you can swap an exercise or regenerate before you start. It is free to use; free users keep one program at a time.
Does GymLogger X support RPE and RIR?
Not when you log. A logged set records weight and reps, plus whether it was a warm-up; there is no per-set RPE or RIR entry, and the analytics, plateau status included, work from weight and reps. RPE and RIR, explained covers what that means if you rate every set.
Does GymLogger X calculate Wilks, DOTS, or Sinclair?
No. GymLogger X doesn't calculate Wilks, DOTS, or Sinclair scores. It estimates 1RM for every lift with the Epley formula, keeps a Rep-Max table and your personal records, and has a plate calculator for loading the bar.
Does GymLogger X work on Apple Watch without the iPhone?
No. The Apple Watch app is a companion: you start the workout on your iPhone, and sets you log on the watch go through the phone. On the wrist you log weight and reps, see heart rate, time, and calories, and run the rest timer. Heart rate and calories need Health permission on the watch.
How does plateau detection work?
GymLogger X estimates your 1RM for each exercise with the Epley formula, from sets of 3 or more reps, and follows the trend across your sessions. With Pro, Strength Progress gives each lift a status (Plateau, Watching, or Plateau Predicted) and an overload score, and the Next Move card turns that into a suggestion such as a rest day or a change of approach. It all runs on your iPhone by fixed rules. It doesn't change your program or send notifications; you decide what to do.
Is GymLogger X free? What does Pro unlock?
Logging is free for good: unlimited workouts on iPhone and Apple Watch, the Heart Rate Rest Timer, 1,500 exercises, one program at a time (6 free programs, your own, or one from the Smart Program Creator), 3 templates, the last 30 days of history, Apple Health export, and iCloud sync. Pro unlocks all 44 programs, unlimited programs and templates, your full history, Insights, recovery and plateau signals, the muscle heatmap, animated demos, custom exercises, CSV import, every widget, and 8 color themes. Pro is $1.99/month or $17.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial, or $39.99 once, and it supports Family Sharing. Prices are in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout.
What happens to my program if my Pro subscription ends?
If you started a Pro program while subscribed, you can finish it after the subscription ends. Free limits apply to everything else: one active program, 3 templates, and the last 30 days of history, with older sessions kept and unlocked again when you upgrade.
Does GymLogger X need an account or internet connection?
No. There is no account and no sign-up, and logging works fully offline, exercise demos included. Workouts are stored on your iPhone and synced through your own private iCloud when you're signed in to iCloud, and finished workouts are saved to Apple Health. The app has no server of its own, so your workouts are never sent to us.
Can I export my data if I leave?
There is no file export. Each finished workout is saved to Apple Health as a strength training session, any workout can be shared as text, and the recap and Weekly Summary can be shared as images. Coming from another app or a spreadsheet? Pro imports workouts from CSV, TSV, or TXT files, with a column-mapping step.
What if my exercise isn't in the 1,500-exercise library?
Create it with Pro. A custom exercise takes a name, equipment, and muscle groups, and you log it like any built-in one. Pro also lets you edit the name, equipment, and muscles of built-in exercises, and reset them to the default.
For Coaches
Share your program as a spreadsheet (week, day, exercise, sets, and reps). Clients import it once with Pro and follow it day by day.
