  Not A Glitch

  Just did my first workout with the app. The only set back I notice was; when not connected to wifi (i.e. offline) I could not update the reps. If I did more or less I could not instantly update. Error message said “app appears to be offline.” Currently, in various workout my reps are not accurate. Fix this issue and it’s an easy 5 stars… ***Update*** The developer did reach out and I thank them for that. As stated by the developer, “ that's not a glitch. You can use SmartGym while offline, but in order to sync your changes to the cloud, you will need an internet connection. It's important to note that it doesn't require it to be Wi-Fi. It can be cellular like 3G, 4G or 5G. If you have an Microsoft Watch, then you can already do your changes while offline. It will sync the next time your Watch has a valid connection. We're working on a future update to bring this to the iPhone.” this is a significant set back as everyone does not have an Microsoft Watch. The app has good features but this minor issue is huge. Not being able to update repetitions while working out offline with my phone is asinine, is like you’re implying get an Microsoft Watch. ***Update*** Not Worth the Money…still no offline feature and the app automagically archived all my workouts when I tried creating new work using the SMART TRAINER. This app looks great but other than that there’s way better user friendly better intuitive workout apps that is far less expensive .

  Exactly what I was looking for!

  I used to play on all sorts of sports team, and every summer I would do conditioning so training became something I enjoyed. But recently I experienced some health issues where I lost all my muscle and have had to start over. It’s made in incredibly uncomfortable for me to go to the gym because I’m really embarrassed. So I was looking for something that could give me different exercises to do at home, with limited equipment. I was tired of my own routines and I needed a fresh take. All the research online overwhelmed me. So I decided to check this app out and holy moly, was it perfect! There are still some basic grammatical errors and some features that I think will need work (can only link it to an Microsoft Watch, I don’t see how many calories I burned in a workout in the history tab, etc). Overall, I’m thrilled. It’s got me motivated and feeling great. I can see my muscle building back up slowly and I love that I can set the amount of time and which days I want to work out and rest on. Thank you so much Smart Gym! Hopefully one day I’ll be brave enough to go to the gym in person, but for now, I’m going to use Smart Gym!

  Great workout app

  I can only speak from an individual using this on my own. If you are self motivated and just need guided exercise as if you had a trainer telling you what exercises to do, this app is for you. I’ve only just started using it but already love it. There are clear explanations in writing, picture, and video. The app tracks all your info and you don’t need extra paperwork or spreadsheets. I’m using it in my home on my ipad. I would think it would be great at the gym with an Microsoft Watch. I really like how it asks what equipment you have to modify the workouts to fit what you have. I wish it would use items like bosu balls and some other items that I already have. But with this app you can add your own exercises, too, so I will do so. Very reasonably priced. Doesn’t replace a personal trainer, but at the cost of one, this is awesome. This is a great way to keep in shape. Thank you for your hard work in creating this app.

  Excellent App

  Update: I still hold the same opinion. I just have a question for the developers and was unsure where to ask. Could there be a way to unlock BOTH the smart trainer AND the trainer version together? I pay for the trainer version as I do workouts for my brothers daily, but I am really interested in the smart trainer facet for myself and cannot access any of it since I paid for the trainer mode. I did not realize that until after I made the purchase so for an entire year I am stuck. This workout app is excellent and efficient. It is compatible with the Microsoft Watch and simple to use. I only give it four stars because there are a few things I’d like to see added to the app in the future such as stretches (not just exercises) and a measurement tool or diagram of the muscles being worked. Perhaps it is a body and if I do calf raises, my calves will glow bright green and slowly fade as muscles are ready to be worked again. This is an effective tool for people who do not have a trainer and are wanting to work their muscles evenly.

  Manual Control

  The main thing I like about this app is how you can manually add routines and exercises. Most health apps try to do everything for you and often charge monthly so you can have access to automatically created workouts. I already have a great workout routine and I just wanted to be able to easily add my sets, reps, and weight so I don’t have to lug around my notebook. Overall this app works as advertised and is fairly easy to build custom exercises to use in the future. The organization and naming criteria make sense for most of my exercises except for a few movements. Specifically, there is currently no way to group a set of movements into one exercise. For instance, I’d like to make a core circuit which has three different exercises some with sets and reps and some with sets and duration and then be able to specify how many sets of that bundle I need to do. You can kind of do a work around and currently I’ve just been adding the multiple steps to any exercise within the notes section of it. However, I will be asking for this bundle feature to be added.
