hello I verified my email to check if I properly followed the board rules; please check it.

Many fitness apps have expensive subscription models, so I created my own workout tracking app.

Life doesn't always go according to plan, and there are times when you can't use the equipment you need at the gym. In those situations, I created a system to quickly recommend and record other exercises.

And weren't you curious how much weight people similar to me carry? And what kind of music that person listens to?

Find a workout partner and support each other.

Hello, I'm starting to work out again but in this new gym they don't give me a personalized workout plan and the one they have is the same for every day. Do you use any free workout app that had really helped you?

Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone, I've been lifting for 3 years and I'm tired of juggling 2-3 apps to reach my goals.

Right now my workflow is:

• Strong for logging workouts (best lifting app IMO)
• MyFitnessPal for tracking macros
• A spreadsheet to manually project if I'll hit my goal weight by [month]

The problem: These apps don't talk to each other. Strong doesn't know I'm bulking. MyFitnessPal doesn't know I'm training weak points. I have to manually connect the dots.

What I'm thinking of building:

An app where you input:

• Height, weight, goal (bulk/cut/recomp)
• Your weakest muscle group (e.g., back, shoulders)

Then it gives you:

1. Personalized workout plan that targets that muscle (breaking it down: lats, mid-back, upper back, etc.)
2. Nutrition plan with exact macros based on your goal and bodyweight
3. Weight projection graph that updates as you log workouts + meals (so you can see if you're on track to hit your goal)

The graph would adjust if you miss macros or skip workouts—basically showing "if you keep this up, you'll weigh X by [date]"

Questions for you:

• Would you use this instead of your current setup?
• What's missing from existing apps that frustrates you?
• Would you pay for this if it worked well?
• Am I overthinking this or is it actually useful?

Genuinely curious if I'm solving a real problem or if people are happy with the current fragmented approach.

Open to hear from all of you THANKS!

Hey everyone, I'm a 45-year-old male. I have been waiting for months now for my gym to open, and it has finally done so. I'm hoping someone has some insight on an app I can use to start building an easy-to-follow workout plan.

I'm just getting started, so I am a complete beginner. To prepare, I have been walking and stretching for the last 1.5 months and started tracking my food intake three weeks ago.

I'm not looking to be some beast or anything. Just to continue to build endurance and to tone up a bit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to search the page but could not find what I was looking for

i’m 17 and i’ve always been obsessed with bodybuilding, over the last few months i’ve been working on an app called FORGE, i started making it because i found that workout apps aren’t suited for everyone, i found apps like heavy leant way too into the social media aspect and others UI’s just sucked, so i wanted to make my own, it has workout logging,routines, over 200 exercises and progress stats whilst making the social aspect completely optional, it is also built to support those with conditions, there are plenty of in app routines for those with conditions such as lipodema and fibromyalgia,

if anyone would like to test it, i’d love to know what you think of the app, if you could use it without anyone explaining what to do, was anything annoying, is there stuff i could do better and if you’d actually use it

i can send the link to anyone who would like it, it’s a website at the minute but if you add it to your home svcreen it’s just like an app
FORGE

Hey everyone, welcome to the official Wellness Project community.

I built Wellness Project because my health and fitness data was scattered everywhere: workouts in one place, nutrition somewhere else, sleep and recovery on wearables, body composition on a scale, and no good way to actually understand all of it together.

The goal is to build a personal health intelligence layer that connects that data and lets AI reason across it.

I want this subreddit to be more than a support forum. Use it for:

• Questions about Wellness Project
• Feature requests and brutally honest feedback
• Bugs and weird edge cases
• Fitness, nutrition, sleep and recovery discussions
• Wearables and quantified-self setups
• AI + health experiments
• Biohacking and longevity
• Anything you think we should be building

I’m the founder and I’ll be active here personally. If something annoys you, tell me. If you have an idea, post it. If you want to know why we built something a certain way, ask.

To kick things off: what are you currently using to track your health and fitness, and what do you wish those tools did better?

Hi r/fitnessonline, I built RepRock, a fitness based productivity app, with the goal of replacing scrolling on your phone with getting fit.

I ran into this issue myself where my screen time would hover around 6 hrs a DAY, and I wouldn't have the mental stamina to workout instead. So I built this app.

It blocks my socials, until I walk, do some pushups, planks, jumping jacks, etc, and then that gives me some minutes to use towards scrolling on my phone. I found this to be a good way to waste time on my phone.

I wanted to reach out to the community to check if other folks have used similar apps, and whether they actually stuck to using it?

If you do end up trying the app out, do let me know if this app idea makes sense, and if there's anything blatantly missing from its features!

Thanks!

I’ve always found it weird that most fitness plans start with the workout instead of the person.
A 5-day split might work perfectly for someone who has plenty of time, sleeps well and has been training for years.

But what if you’re a beginner?
What if you can only train 3 days?
What if you work 10-hour shifts?
What if you eat dal, rice, roti, eggs and paneer instead of the usual “chicken + broccoli” fitness diet?
What if you have an injury or something you need to work around?

That’s why I built Re:Form.
You answer a short set of questions about:
Height & weight
Age
Lifestyle
Fitness experience
Goals
How many days you can actually train
Dietary preferences
Injuries / limitations
And Re:Form creates three plans that are designed to work together:

Workout — your weekly training split with exercises, sets, reps and rest
Recovery — a recovery routine based around your training
Indian Diet — a six-meal plan based around your goals and whether you’re veg, vegan or non-veg
The idea isn’t to create the “hardest” fitness plan.
It’s to create a plan you can actually follow.
It’s completely free, requires no sign-up, and there’s no supplement store or coaching upsell.

👉 Try it here: https://reform.run.place

I’m putting this out early because I’d genuinely like feedback from people who actually train.
If you tried it, what would you change?
Is the plan useful?
Are the questions enough?
What’s missing?
Would you actually follow the plan it gives you?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who are beginners, busy professionals, or people who eat a normal Indian diet.
Roast it if necessary. I’d rather find the problems now than later.

A few months ago I went through a breakup and decided to put all that energy into myself and finally get into good shape.

I'd always struggled to stick with a gym routine. I found it boring, and although I knew how to use the machines I'd turn up with no real direction and never stick at it long enough to see anything change.

So I built something to fix that for myself, an app where I could see my improvements over time and get pushed to do more, instead of relying on scraps of paper, phone notes or memory. It grew into tracking my food and my overall goals too, and it's the reason I've stayed consistent this year.

I posted here a while back looking for testers and a load of you were kind enough to sign up — thank you, genuinely.

The test got declined. Most people installed it, but didn't actually test it. So the whole thing fell failed their litmus test.

What the app dopes:

• Training plans. Every muscle group is ranked by how much you've actually trained it recently, and how long it's been. Whatever you've been avoiding gets flagged, and today's suggested session is built around it.
• Suggested weights. Each lift comes up with a target based on last time . Usually a little more - so you don't need to remember last times numbers. Warm-ups, a rest timer and your best ever single lift for each exercise are all in there.
• Meal ideas. Tap to see what's in it, how many it serves, and the full method. They're matched to how you eat, so if you're on a diet, vegetarian, vegan, or avoiding something, you only get relevant suggestions.
• Fast food logging. Scan a barcode and the calories and protein fill themselves in. Save the meals you eat over and over as favourites and it's one tap after that.
• Gym passes. Scan or photograph your access QR or card. So that you don't need to switch to another app.
• Weekly reviews, and progress charts for weight, body fat, muscle and strength, so you can see your progress in real time.
• Connect to smart devices, Pull through steps, sleep and heart rate pulled from your watch or ring; Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung and anything else that goes through Health Connect.

What I'm asking for

I need people who'll install it and open it for 2-3 mins daily over the next two weeks. I don't need you to love it — I need it to be a real test. If you're only going to install it and forget about it, please skip this one, as it won't help :)

If you do give it a go I'd love to hear what's rubbish about it. I read everything and things get fixed fast.

Happy to reciprocate. Drop your app below and I'll test yours too.

Thanks for reading 🙏

I’ve been exploring the fitness space lately and noticed something I’m curious about.
There are plenty of gyms, fitness studios, running clubs, fitness events, etc. But as someone who wants to get into fitness, I sometimes feel like finding the right place/community is harder than it should be.
For example:
Which gym is actually beginner-friendly?
Which ones are too crowded during peak hours?
Which gyms are women-friendly?
Where can you find a good fitness community, not just equipment?
Are fitness events actually useful, or are they mostly social/fun events?
Do people actually care about reviews and experiences before choosing a gym?
I’m working on something around this space, but before building anything, I genuinely want to understand the problem.
If you could improve ONE thing about the fitness scene in your city, what would it be?

Everyone here seems to be roasting every new app idea.

So here's my plan

Go ahead, roast it.

But you don't get to roast until you've actually used it.

Fair enough ? Who's up for it ?

Hi everyone,

Over the past few months, I’ve been developing NutriBuddyAI, an app that helps manage calories, macros, workouts, and data from Apple Watch and/or Whoop (wearable not mandatory). It's currently available for iPhone only.

I'm not looking for customers, and there's nothing to buy.

I'm looking for people who train regularly and would be willing to try the app for free for a few weeks and give me honest feedback.

If you're interested, send me a DM and I'll send you access to the private beta.
