SmartGym: Gym & Home Workouts 4+

Been using this app for a couple years now and it is honestly second to none. I’ve only ever encountered two issues. One since the start and one newer issue;

The apps workouts don’t sync with strava. This would be a huge QOL change to keep my runs and gym workouts logged all in the same place to share with friends.

Secondly, after recent updates, a new issue has appeared where the voice over function seemingly doesn’t work during my circuits. It will do the first 3,2,1 countdown and then completely stop for all other things like rest period, next exercise etc. (This is specifically when using a workout that is timed sets with timed rest between) - it seems the only way i can fix this issue is completely force rebooting my iPhone. If i force reboot my iphone first, the issue wont be there, but if i forgot to do it again, the next time i start my toutine its back. Would be nice if someone could have a look at this bug.

Hi, thanks for the review and sorry for the inconvenience. Please reach out to our support at support@smartgymapp.com so we can assist you with that bug and fix it for you as soon as possible.

This is genuinely one of the best tracker apps I’ve ever used for the Apple Watch.

I used to use it like 4 years ago and back then I gave it 3 stars due to some glaring issues. Came back to it a couple months ago, and I can happily say that basically all the issues I had back then have been sorted.

Usability is top-notch, and its become an indispensable tool in my training.

There are still a few veeeery minor issues (ie the app seems to sometimes get a bit ‘confused’ if you skip an exercise then come back to it later, or finish all your sets then come back to add another) but they’re so tiny they’re barely worth the mention.

One thing I’d like to request from the Devs if possible, is to update the “Apply changes to all” feature, where when you edit and make changes to the FIRST set in an exercise during a workout, you can then apply those to every other set below that. It’s a fantastic feature, slightly limited by the fact that it’s only usable if you edit the FIRST set which often is just a warmup set that doesn’t need editing (it doesn’t come up if you edit set 2 or set 3).

So if you guys could make the “apply changes to all” show up after editing ANY set, and just make it apply the changes to all sets below the one that was edited, that’d be fantastic.

Regardless of that though great work so far, thumbs up from me.

Hi David, thanks for such an amazing review. This kind of detailed feedback are great to always help us improve our product and make SmartGym even better.

1. This is something we are already working on and should have a fix soon. This limitation is due to perfomance issues on the Watch. Btw, this limitation is only on the Watch. You can set any weight on the iOS app.

2. Thanks for this suggestion. We will see what we can do about that in the future.

3. The algorithm behind all the health data tracking is entirely from Apple. If you use the default Workout app from the Watch, you will get fairly similar results. This algorithm is extremely complex, heavily tested, uses many different variables collected from different sensors from the Watch, and it's one of the most precise algorithms you can have on any smart watch. You don't need to worry. You're not cheating. :)

4. That's actually something you can already do. You can edit any workout as long as it's in the same day you did it. You can just open the iOS app after the workout to change the weight to anything higher than 200 Kgs.
