Great app
I have tried many workout apps and none compares to SmartGym. It’s easy to use and works seamlessly with Apple Watch.
2025-01-28
Excellent
Works brilliantly on the Apple Watch. Would be even better if it had outdoor cycling and running as cardio options.

Disappointing Customer Service Experience with SmartGym Subscription
EDIT 26/01/2025. Thanks for your message. 10 days ago was the last chaser email which is still unanswered.
I have raised this with Apple as well now and would appreciate your help to get this resolved. This is not fair, it should be clear at the time of subscription who we need to reach out if we want to cancel the plan in trial and within cancellation period or otherwise. Since I couldn’t find any of your details other than this review place and an email, I had no means to communicate about my decision to cancel the subscription.
- - - - -
I subscribed to the SmartGym app for a year, but unfortunately, I’ve had a very disappointing experience with their customer service. When I decided to stop using the service and requested a refund for the remaining period of my subscription, I reached out to them via email. However, months have passed, and I haven’t received any response or even an acknowledgement of my request.
I’m now stuck paying for a service I no longer use, with no way to resolve the issue. This lack of support is unacceptable for a paid subscription service. I would strongly advise others to think twice before committing to a long-term subscription with SmartGym unless they improve their customer service.

Latest software and great developer
Use this almost everyday. Really great with the customisation, always has the latest software compared to other similar app. The best selling point is that we don’t get tracked! Not sure why other apps are tracking but great there is an option for a gym app that doesn’t do this.
2025-01-10
Great when it works
It is a good app that helps your workouts and makes your time at the gym efficient. I recommended it several times. However, it has been weeks that both the watch and the iPhone apps keep crushing continuously every few seconds making it almost useless. If not fixed, I’d search for alternatives
2025-01-05
Deleting this
Don’t like the workouts it creates and when I try to swap out you can’t type in an alternative only select from a limited list. No evidence of the so called AI. Frustrating as I paid for it
2024-12-15
Special arrangements
Hi, the app is very beautiful! However, I wanted to reach out regarding some improvements. I have some injuries that prevent me from doing certain exercises, and I often experience pain. I had to do private research to find alternatives, which has been challenging. Since we are using an AI version of the app, I was hoping we could input our specific injuries so that the app could provide tailored exercise suggestions. I am currently on a yearly subscription and cannot cancel, but while I really appreciate the concept of the app, I am struggling with some of the exercises, which is quite overwhelming for me.
2024-12-01
Very good app
Does what it says and work wells with the Apple Watch. I would like for developers to add selection for what muscles custom exercises target
2024-11-19
Best app I’ve used
Best app I’ve used. Thank you
2024-11-03
Great App
Great app, missing a couple of things that would make it 5 star, including but not limited to; pull, push, legs split workout suggestions, the ability to do custom activities at the end of an activity, such as AMRAP or double rest pause, strava integration or share to strava.
2024-10-30
Bug-filled time waster
Paid for a year’s subscription and it doesn’t remember my routines, doesn’t keep the alternate exercises I might pick, doesn’t save my manually edited/updated routines. I waste minutes at a time battling this app than actually just focusing on my workout. Really, really irritating.
2024-10-27
Worth It
Works well. Helps you track your workouts. Best I’ve tried. Seamless Apple Watch integration. I could be more verbose, but that’s the main points for me.
2024-10-09
Good app
App is really good but if it has a feature to automatically end the workout after a specific amount of time, its great! Most of the time I miss to finish the workout and it keeps on running in background for infinity amount of time and its frustrating.
2024-10-02
Great but glitchy
Have used this app for many years now and always been brilliant, but over the last year it’s started to glitch. It randomly flicks between exercises on its own, so you click to finish a set and suddenly realise you’re tracking deadlifts when you’re doing squats! Very frustrating and only remedy is to force close the app and restart. This happens every workout multiple times, and, I’ve used it through different phones. I’m only on the free version so perhaps this won’t work on premium, but I’m loathed to pay and try it. There is a new update so I’m going to give it one last try!
2024-10-01
Smart Trainer is Genius for Workouts
Since lockdown and not having access to a PT or gym I’ve been religiously following whatever Smart Trainer tells me to do, and the results are incredible. It makes me feel like getting loads more equipment to take advantage of it. Great work and value for money, keep it up. I appreciate the loyalty offers too and will definitely renew year on year.
2024-08-12
Can’t do a workout without it!
I’ve been a SmartGym Premium user for just over 2 years now and I don’t think I can do a workout without it.
I’ve been using the SmartGym app primarily on my Apple Watch and it really is such a quick and easy way to keep track of your lifts during the workout itself - so it helped me stay accountable and stick with the plans I’ve made. It’s also pretty neat having 1RM estimates within the app itself so you can set up your next workouts with the right RPE.
I also wanted to shout out the devs for being transparent and responsive! I reported an issue I was facing and they were inquisitive and even shared insights into what they believed might have gone wrong. Once they pushed a fix, they reached out to me once again to let me know. Bravo SmartGym team!
2024-07-26
Awesome
How an should be, excellent usability. Simple to navigate, non intrusive and reasonably priced!
2024-06-13
Copy and paste
I like this apps and I have been using this for a few years. But I give it four out of five because there is a bug. It copies current sets and adds it into it, for example if the current set is ‘16 rep and 12 kg’, a copy of that would be added next to it. This happened during ‘Rest’ and scrolling on other exercise looking at ‘exercise progress’. Now after ‘rest’ the previous set would show that it is completed and moved onto the next exercise (assuming there is another exercise) or finish workout (assuming it is the last exercise), but would have copied the previous set (e.g 16 rep and 12kg). Now my ‘Data’ has error. Can you please add ‘Edit’ instead of ‘Erase data’. And off course please remove this bug. Hope I described it well.
2024-06-08
Great training app
I have been using the Smart Trainer functionality which works really well. The training automatically updates to keep it challenging and I love how the workouts are structured. Paired with the Apple Watch app, it’s the best training app out there.
2024-05-31
MORE personalised weights please!
Absolutely love the personalised weights feature… but would like it extended to other exercises than just dumbbells- such as barbells please.
2024-05-30
The best workout app I've found and keeps improving
I've tried a lot of different workout apps and this is hands down the best, especially if you train with an Apple Watch
2024-05-29
Love this app!
Been using it for a couple of weeks, love it really as it is packed with all you need & nothing you don’t. The GUI is nice, only complaint is I wish the subscription was cheaper.
2024-05-29
Its Good... Apart from the price
A bit expensive for what it is but does what it says on the tin… well! Unlike other apps on the market it covers everything you need.
2024-04-15
Very good - great apple watch app
But they should include more exercises and add rest time to cardio
2024-04-07
Way to overpriced
App is fine. Not the best for gym. But it way to expensive. I don’t know why this app is so overpriced for what is offering
2024-04-03
Game changer!
Had this app for a week now and the versatility on my routines out ways all the competition thank you.
2024-03-15
Don’t bother downloading app
Not worth the download. There are more intuitive apps out there that provide more value. Virtually no free features unless you pay and even if you pay, I don’t see much value in the services.
2024-03-14
Fantastic App, and so immensely improved in the last 2 years
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.
2024-03-10
Fantastic App for Gym Goers
It's an intuitive app. Easy to use, it works well with the Apple Watch. AI function is very cool and helps people who don’t have much knowledge of building up reps/weights. I also love the replace exercise function, as if a machine is busy or you just don’t like that workout, you can find another which will do the job. High recommend!
2024-02-07
Suggestions
I’m sure this has been raised already but it would be great if there were small videos of the exercises instead of redirecting to YouTube. Also, phone and watch could be more tightly in sync during the session, for example mark a set complete on the phone should create a rest timer on the phone and on the watch
2024-02-07
£59 PER YEAR
Ridiculous pricing… considering the app has limited opportunity for growth, paying a subscription is absurd, and to pay more than my Amazon Prime membership… ludicrous! Make it at most 99p per month… or a one off lifetime purchase available.
2024-01-28
Great app
First I wasn’t convinced , but slowly became my regular gym companion
2024-01-19
Effortless
The SmartGym app impresses with its intuitive program creation, tailoring workouts to available equipment and time constraints. The seamless integration with the Apple Watch enhances user experience, providing real-time tracking and data sync. Its adaptive nature, updating workouts after each session. A comprehensive fitness companion for those seeking personalised, dynamic routines.
2023-12-05
AI really works
Perfect app that plans all your workouts for you
2023-12-03
Looks good so far
Let’s see how well this works in practice
2023-12-03
I’ve switched from the other top gym logging app
Great app a lot more features then the main competitor. Definitely worth switching.
2023-10-04
Great App
Loving everything about this app
2023-09-29
An ideal aid for a novice.
Whilst it isn’t a substitute for a ”physical” trainer, overtime I was able to reduce the time spent with the trainer as this helped me to work with him to schedule/ keep track and to remember the workouts and it’s correct forms - but I still have at least once a week session with the trainer to ensure the form is correct. PS : I’m an individual user, the trainer module may offer better features.
Suggestion for improvement : can we have a feature to change the routine mid workout, as it’s a real life scenario where due to availability of equipment etc. may have to change certain workouts- as far as I can see, this isn’t supported.
2023-07-11
Great App
Great app for keeping track of workouts and progress.
2023-03-08
Payment for subscription
They take payment for subscription with 7 days without getting a proper chance to try it. Will not use again for bad non standard practice
2023-03-07
Brilliant
I haven’t written many reviews around here, but I think I should do for this one. Having used other workout apps before, all I can say is that SmartGym is brilliant. I love that I can see my progress on different machines and it has definitely motivated me to keep on working out. Also, needed some assistance and the team responded very promptly. Fab work, guys!
2023-03-01
Love it
I love this App
2023-02-25
Sugestao
Ola. Vocês poderiam acrescentar também as imagens em movimento por um segundo ângulo, assim teríamos uma melhor percepção em como executar os exercícios e todos os grupos musculares estimulados.
2023-01-26
7 dias de teste
Estou utilizando o período de 7 dias, por enquanto minha experiência é pouca pra falar
2023-01-09
Very good app!
I used this all year on a subscription last year… I have resubscribed again as it was that good!
It is really helpful as a beginner to put my workouts into it and keep track of what I was doing and easy to change the weights and exercises in the routines as I was progressing.
Paired with my Apple Watch I can use that instead of having to look at my phone the whole time which is handy. Also it syncs up with the health and fitness apps on the iPhone perfectly so I can track everything seamlessly!
I would recommend this to anyone that can afford a few pounds a month so they can have all their workout and track them right from their phone!
2023-01-07
Not worth the price
Too expensive for what it is…
2022-12-31
Fantastic
Although early days, I believe this app is exactly what I was looking for. Still relatively new to exercise and with not much time to get to the gym, the preselected workouts are a real bonus for me. Like I said, it’s still early days but I’m confident this app will provide everything I need to get into shape. Keep up the good work.
2022-12-11
Love it so far
I am a total gym novice, this gave me confidence to try exercises, I would never thought to try. I also like how it logs everything.
2022-12-02
Excellent
Really good easy to use app. Can customise your own or use the AI created ones. Works great with Apple Watch too
2022-09-30
I love Smart Gym!!!!
I’ve used this app for a few years on and off. Ive tried other apps but find this one works the best for me to keep me focussed and motivated during the workout and to help with my form. There’s a great selection of exercises and some I’ve never seen before. Love it
2022-03-26
Amazing app
I’ve been using another well known fitness app for a couple of years and I thought it was great but I felt as though I was repeating the same routine over and over so I looked for a different app and found smart gym and wow it’s on different level so many different ways to train you can train for a specific sport like football or running or you can go down the more traditional route with hit training and weight training,I also want to say that the SmartGym app for the Apple Watch is also amazing it’s easy to log your workouts and it looks great.I do not work for SmartGym or have any connection with them but when a company gets it right every should know about it.
2021-07-17
SmartGym Premium
I tried SmartGym premium for a few months and decided that I’d stick with the limited version. However I now have a permanent notification on the screen that says my SmartGym premium has expired. This notification is really obstructive and covers the bottom half of the screen.
On top of that, any time I try and create a workout I’m presented with the same notification. After I dismiss it I’m sent back to the previous screen. So, in short I can no longer do anything in this app until I sign back up to premium… I’m hoping that this is a bug as I’ve paid to save my routines to the cloud which I cannot currently use.
2021-05-02
Covid 19
Kind of hoped that as a loyal customer of a few years, you guys would have offered an extension to the premium. Paid for the year up front this year but not getting to use it with the guys shut.
Updated May 21… pricing is no longer competitive. The development costs for this app are minimal and should be offering a one off purchase rather than monthly payment… I’m not interested in classes/plans… Most of us can develop these out self or get from M&S
2021-01-25
Waste of time
First off I’m sure this is a decent app. My gripe, which is in common with all apps that pull this , is that it had to go through the process of selecting your equipment, days you’d like to train, level of training etc, then hits you with the subscription page.
All of this without any prior warning that it’s a paid for service.
I cannot stand apps that do this and it already sets a level of distrust I can’t get past.
For that very reason, it was uninstalled instantly and I’ll never get to see of its worth my money.
2021-01-04
Very Effective Monitoring Tool
Have been using this for a couple of weeks now for weight training and have found it a great tool for logging workouts. If I could change one thing I would create a tool for syncing with Strava!
2020-12-14
In general it’s good but
The new update has introduced too many new features at once. How can you measure if it’s improving anything? And which is contributing to that improvement or the opposite?
Ok so I have a work out I can end the timer on. It’s on 190 hours 51 minutes and something secs. Each time I tried to end it it crashed the app. This is a typical continuous loop. It should have a limit. But the app can’t handle at such a large number so it crashes.
I’m forced to delete the app and re download.
2020-10-29
Cracking app
I love the app! It is allowing me to track my sets way better before.
I can’t believe I am saying this but I really want a burpee and mountain climber exercise to add too...
Also on the add measures screen, if you change the date, it only shows you three weeks of dates 😬
2020-09-25
Love this app!
Downloaded this app a year ago for the gym and it’s awesome. I don’t need to bring my phone with me as everything I need is right there on the watch. My only issue is that since ios14 when you press “ open exercise “ when rest timer has completed, it shoots you back to the first exercise in the routine. Please fix this bug so I can go back to loving this app.
2020-06-10
Watch App is unnecessarily fragmented
This is my subjective opinion, IPhone part of the App is wonderful. All layout and rewards, charts are fabulous.
I am more into Apple watch part. Watch app is very fragmented, bits and pieces all over or on multiple screens.
If the user needs to check elapsed time, calories count, it needs a different screen,
At the End of a particular set, Rest timer is somewhere else, at the end of the Rest, another two touches to get back
At the end of all sets from one exercise then another touch to commence next exercise
We live in a COVID-19 era, minimise the "touching"
Rather than running from one screen to another, you guys should put all that information to one screen.
Heart rate, current set number, restimer, graphic for the particular exercise and much more information can easily integrate into one screen, example, Gymaholic has the best watch app. Update watch app, minimising unnecessary multiple touches, think of COVID-19.
2020-06-06
Great workout app
I have tried a few workout apps as I have a small gym at home. It offers the whole package including the Apple Watch app option which I use for convenience.
The graphics are ok but one can add own images to the added exercises if more detail is required.
I miss being able to add an exercise to a routine on the watch, so it would be great if this can be explored.
2020-04-20
And back to 5 stars ⭐️
This app is really great and worth every penny! Updated a lot recently with useful features and yet it easy and simple to use. Logged in recently to find a lot of home workouts free in the app, really helpful during current lockdown!
Seriously, bought this app good few years back and it’s still one of the best if not the best app for planning and doing your workout!
——— old review ———
I only just posted 1 star review below. After sending it - my screen refreshes and app showed “update” button. After update my crashing issue was resolved 😄 that was quick))
Great app, but with last update I cannot even open it. I’m sure devs will sort this out, but for now 1 star for this issue. Otherwise this app is great!
2020-03-31
Outstanding iPhone and independent Watch apps
Not usually one to leave review, but this app really is amazing! Interface is simple but has lots of options. The watch app does not need an iPhone to work and it’s the best gym companion you could ask from an app 👌🏻
2020-03-11
Great App
This is great; I’ve been using a book because I couldn’t find a useable, decently priced app but this fits the bill.
Two things id like to see:
1. Color themes. The lime green is pretty hard on my eyes; personally I’d prefer yellow/red or some other color.
2. It can be annoying having to remember to start a workout session, especially since features like ‘log different sets’ don’t work without it activated. I’d like to be able to start a session by just logging my first set.
Thanks to the devs.
2020-02-20
Apple Watch Recommended
What an amazing app to work out with. I have been looking for such a complete app for long time and finally came across smartgym! What a gem. The integration with apple watch is the best part. You can work out with it without having to carry your phone at all. Cannot recommend it enough!
2019-11-20
Game changer
I have to say that this has changed things for me. I’m not bored or lost anymore. I’m not wandering round the gym looking for the next machine or just aimlessly using the same machines every time. This has motivated me and I’ve kept at it for 2 weeks now. Have already lost some weight and am looking forward to the next weigh in. I have emailed support to ask how often the routines will update. The answer to this depends on continuing at monthly rate or upgrading to the year. Great work so far

Confusing, unintuitive watch interface
Nice idea, let down by a clear way to progress through exercises and rest periods which seem to allow too much control to fudge whether an exercise was completed or not. Then throwing out the current routine and weirdly any subsequent ones.
Even after erasing all data from watch the workout status remained. After much messing around trying to reset rest periods and hence restart a routine, I gave up and reverted to basic tracking on the built in Apple workouts

Best value fitness app
Downloaded all the fitness apps to makes sure I found the right one. This was by far the beat value app around. Some others that are just as good charge a lot more. Glad I purchased this one and would highly recommend it. Especially if you have an Apple Watch.

Brilliant - 1 suggestion
Used for the first time today and it definitely improved the intensity of my workout - not having to carry my phone about and distracting me between sets is most welcome.
One thing to suggest though, and correct me if you can already do this because I’d assume it would be a given to have - when using the app on the Apple Watch there should be a way to change the weight on your workout to show improvements in your lifting. Without this feature I’d still have to remember, or write down on paper the improvements in weight that I can lift, to then get home and update it though the phone app.
Other than that, great app!

Love it
It takes some getting used to at first, and if you don’t know your weights for the exercises you enter into your workout then you’ll probably need to take your phone to edit the settings for each exercise as you find you way into it. However once it’s all entered, no need for the phone to be taken to the gym anymore. It’s fired me back into training, but then I am someone who likes structure. I like to have something to check off and say I’ve completed. If I go to the gym without a task list, I tend to cut short, miss out or not bother. But this gets me out of bed early on a morning to chalk up some more exercises and watch those stats grow.
Love it.

Great app esp on watch
I use this a lot. I built a workout on the phones inc adding specific exercises from my physio after breaking my back. I gradually increase reps and added exercises. I run the workout from Apple Watch which works brilliantly.
I’ve tried many other apps as part of my recovery and this won !

Great Tracker and assistant.
Great app with a large amount of pre loaded exercises set into muscle group categories, makes it easy to create your own routines and add an alternative exercise if some buggger is is the middle of smashing out 15 sets on a certain piece of equipment.
Love having this synced with my Iwatch for on the go routine guidance and rest counter. Perfect for keeping focused.
Great job lads well done. Worth the money.

Replaced my gym diary
This is a good little app that adds excellent utility to my watch. As a regular gym user that creates routines and records my progress this app has replaced my gym diary. Highly recommended.
@ Developers
The only thing I'd like to see is the ability to temporarily swap an exercise in a saved routine. I regularly have improvise in the gym because someone is using a piece of equipment I need. You can add the exercise but it's there permanently and the saved routine can get messy. I'd love to input data on a one off basis with a quick drop-down menu of my own creation. This could consist of anything from a recent joint or muscle pain to someone curling in the squat rack...

Simple and easy to use in and out of the gym
Easy to set up routines on the phone, sync on to your watch and away you go. Simple things like, when it’s the end of a rest period, it is a clear audible noise and briefly interrupts your music but then the music fades back up so you can continue your workout. Possible ideas to further improve an already awesome app would be auto warm up sets been calculated before your working sets, I.e 1x5 @ 40% working weight, 1x5 @ 60% and 1x3 @ 80% for example.. A predictive 1 rep max for lifts to keep you on track working at the right intensity. A plate calculator may also be handy for some, taking into consideration different bar type weight to, I.e Olympic bar, short bar, ez bar, hex etc... keep up the great work. 💪😊👍

Great workout app
It’s 5 star for this app. Great to keep track of your workouts. Good features to organise your exercise plan. Apple Watch works perfect with easy to use interface and access to edit features for your routines. Tracks your workout time and heart rate and calories. Phone app would do with general timer for workouts for those not using smart watches.

Best app for the gym
The layout of the app is excellent, it’s is easy to know what to do and how to add exercises. Also the video telling you how to do the exercise is also helpful as it makes it more clear what you are adding. My only problem with the app is that there is no option to add a lat pulldown machine to your routine which for me is one of my favourite exercises.

Just What I Was Looking For
Just one little bug that needs fixing.
When adding workouts to your routine you can only select one at a time and each time you select one and go back to select the one underneath the one you just selected, you have to scroll from top and find it again. A little time consuming thus annoy. Would be better if you could select multiple work outs at once.
Once this is sorted I will be purchasing the full

Best of the Best
What can I say this has got to be the best gym app out there. I have been looking for ages to find the right workout app and they are either over complicated or don't do enough. But not this app it's easy to use has every feature I need and the price for what you get is great and worth every penny and I like the colour design too.
I choose the local version with no cloud support because this is all I need. But even if I later decided to go for the subscription service with the cloud support it would be worth it since they charge a fair price for the service unlike some.
Anyway great app and I hope you guys keep it going great work Thanks.

Great App
I don’t often write reviews but had been looking for a workout app to use with my new Apple Watch. A lot of the apps now charge a monthly or annual subscription with no alternatives - not something I need or want.
So I noticed SmartGym and the option to either subscribe or buy it for £7.99. And after a trial it was an essential purchase.
Pros:
1. As above the option to buy it for £7.99 is essential and welcome
2. Fantastic integration with the Apple Watch - you can even control your music from it!
3. Great user interface
4. Has a good range of exercises and even times planks which I do with a 45 second test period - it allows you to even customise this
Cons:
1. Occasionally it skips to a different set on the Apple Watch - maybe where my lifting glove catches the bezel but it would be good if the App just is locked into following the workout
2. There is no way of knowing what the next weight is until the timer runs out - this is a pain during warm up sets where you are altering the weight after each exercise
3. As mentioned by someone else there is no way to set a rest period between sets, just between exercises
All in all I am loving this app and it would be good if the developers could look at the three points that do need fixing.

The little things
Firstly, I love the app. It’s great and will help me at the gym soo much! Thank you.
Now, there are a couple of things I’d like to suggest adding:
1) whenever you cancel a workout creation it should give you the option to confirm you cancellation or not as I made an intense 20+ workout which took about half an hour and o accidentally hit the back button and lost it all.
2) there should be an option where for $0.99 you can create 3 of your own workouts instead of paying the subscription.

Best for Apple Watch
Been using for several weeks now and about to pay for premium. Very impressed with iPhone app but especially the Watch app. Does everything very well and I finally don’t have to take my phone with me with “another” gym app.

Fantastic gym app
It doesn’t hassle for reviews, so bear in mind I’ve been so impressed by this I came here voluntarily. :)
Great little app. Even the free “trial” mode is useful. Easy to use and add things to a routine, excellently designed watch app, and is just *there* when you need it. Try it for free, and when you realise how good it is - it even has little animations showing you the routines on your watch - throw some cash at the developer.
Much better value than the other gym apps out there. A great app and my hat off to the developer for a really well planned, slick and unobtrusive application.
