Workout tracker & coach for iPhone and Android

Walk in knowing exactly what to lift.

GymIsLife reads your last session, sets today's weight, and builds the plan around the equipment your gym actually has. Turn up and lift — it does the thinking.

💡This is the one — hit 12+ to earn the jump

Illustration — two moments of the same set shown together: the target the app sets before you start, and the prompt it gives when you're one set from earning the jump. You didn't choose the weight, the exercise order or the rep range — the engine did, from what you lifted last time.

Coming to the App Store and Google Play in December 2026. A 7-day free trial, then £6.99 a month — you set up payment with your Apple ID or Google account at the start, pay nothing if you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, and the app locks when the trial ends unless you subscribe.

How it works

Six steps, then it runs itself.

Setup takes a couple of minutes. After that the plan, the weights and the progression are handled for you — or handed over, if you'd rather drive.

1

Tell it what your gym has

Tick off the kit on your gym floor once — barbell, cables, hack squat, leg press, whatever's actually there. Your plan is built around what you've got, so sessions fit the room you're standing in rather than an imaginary gym.

Step 1 — your gym, not a generic one
2

Say what you're training for

Get Stronger, Build Muscle, or Tone & Endurance. Your goal sets the rep ranges and rest times for everything that follows — 3–6 reps and 3–5 minutes' rest for strength, 8–12 and 60–90 seconds for size. Change it whenever you like.

Step 2 — the goal drives the numbers
3

Choose how much you want done for you

Have the app build the whole plan, start from a split and add your own exercises, or leave it empty for your PT to fill in. Then pick your training days and slide between free weights and machines. It's a coach if you want one and a plain tracker if you don't.

The plan screen: build it for me, I'll build my own, or my PT will set it up, with a training-day picker and an equipment style slider.
Step 3 — coached, self-built, or PT-led
4

The plan writes itself

Your training week appears, split across the days you picked and built around your gym's equipment, with active-rest days included rather than left blank. Each month it offers you a fresh set of exercises — take it, or keep what's working.

Step 4 — a week built around your kit
5

It coaches you, set by set

Every exercise arrives with today's weight already worked out from last time, and a line telling you what to chase — max out the reps to unlock a bigger weight, or hold and build. Log a set and it turns green; beat a record and it turns gold. If the machine's taken, swap the exercise and the session carries on.

A session in progress: a running timer, a warm-up block, a record chip, the last session's numbers, a coaching line, and two sets logged in gold and green with trophies.
Step 5 — a target and a reason, every set
6

It keeps score, so turning up counts

Badges for volume moved, sessions clocked, habits stacked and records broken — each with a progress ring showing how far it is to the next tier.

Step 6 — badges, streaks and records

Also in the box

The bits that keep you coming back.

Guided HIIT

Finishers that run themselves

Timed HIIT sessions with cues and a rest clock — and a safety brief before your first one, because it's genuinely hard.

Habits

The other 23 hours

Creatine, water, protein, steps, sleep, stretching — or build your own. Tracked daily and counted toward badges.

Records

Every PB, kept

Your best weight, best volume and best reps on every exercise you lift. On an assisted machine, where less help is the win, it tracks your least assistance instead. Beat a record and the app tells you the moment you log it.

Swap engine

Never lose a session

Filter by muscle group or by kit — machine, free weights, bodyweight — and swap in a move that trains the same thing. It ranks the kit you've ticked first, and will show you what's outside it if you want to add something.

Warm-ups

Built in, not bolted on

A warm-up block at the top of every session, and an optional warm-up set on any exercise.

Injury mode

Hurt? Pause the pressure

Turn it on and the app stops raising your weights — on every exercise, by every route — and your streaks pause instead of breaking. Nothing else changes: keep logging whatever you can. Turn it off when you're ready, and the weight picks up one step at a time rather than everything it missed.

History & diary

Every session you've done

Scroll back through the lot — every session, what you lifted on each exercise, how long it took and the volume you moved. Plus a two-week diary you can drag sessions around in.

Adapts to you

A plan that changes with you

Every session's weight comes from what you actually lifted last time. Each month it offers a fresh set of exercises — take it, keep what's working, or swap any move yourself.

A bit of fun

Weights in animals

Your all-time tonnage translated into things you can picture — kangaroos, pandas, labradors — with a share card for the good weeks.
