Log your first workout

Everything in the Gymbers app is built around one loop: start a session, log your sets, finish. Once you've done it once, the rest of the app makes sense.

Start a session

1. Open the Workout tab

   It's the lifter icon, third in the tab bar. The app opens on your profile, so tap across.

2. Choose how to begin

   If you're following a program, your next session is waiting on the Workout tab — tap Start Workout. To train without one, tap ⋯ at the top right and choose Freestyle.

3. Add your exercises

   Tap Add Exercises. Search by name, or browse by muscle group. Tap every exercise you want, then tap Add at the top right.

Search matches part of a name, so "bench" finds every bench press variation.

Can't find an exercise? Create your own from ⋯ → Exercise Library, using the + at the top. It then shows up in the list like any other.

Log your sets

Each set has a weight field (headed KG or LB) and a Reps field, with what you did last time alongside under Previous. Fill them in and tap the tick at the end of the row. A completed set turns green, so you can see at a glance what's left.

Use Add set under an exercise when you do more sets than planned.

Finish

Tap Finish Workout at the bottom of the session. If some sets aren't ticked, the app tells you how many first — unticked sets are saved but don't count toward your stats.

Confirm, and the session goes into your history and updates your stats. You don't lose anything by closing the app mid-session: the Workout tab shows Resume Workout until you finish or cancel it.

What happens next

Your session is saved on your phone first and synced to your account the next time the app syncs, so logging works fine in a basement gym with no signal.

If a session doesn't turn up on another device, see My workout didn't sync.
