GymAdapt: exercise, sets, reps and weight on one screen
Open the app and today's workout is ready: each exercise with a video, a target weight and reps for every set. Tap to log, rest on the timer, move on. Taken machine? Ask the coach for a swap. Free to start; code TRYFREE01 gives a month of Pro free.
Standing in a busy gym wondering what to do next is the most common reason people give up. "Just follow a program" is good advice, but a PDF can't tell you how much to lift today, or what to do when the bench is taken. An app can.
What "tells you what to do" should mean
- The exercise, with a video so you know the movement.
- Sets and reps that fit your goal.
- The weight, based on what you lifted last time. This is the piece most apps skip.
- A plan B when equipment is busy, you are short on time, or something hurts.

What about asking ChatGPT for a workout?
A chatbot can write a decent plan in seconds. What it can't do is stand in the gym with you: it doesn't remember that you did 40 kg for 10 last Tuesday, it won't time your rest, and it won't raise the weight next week. Use it for ideas; use a workout app for the doing.
GymAdapt is free to start. Want Pro free for a month?
The free version gives you an AI-built plan and unlimited workouts. Code TRYFREE01 adds a full month of Pro: weights that adjust from what you log and unlimited coach chats.
Redeem the free month → Opens the App Store with the code filled in. iPhone only. After the month it's $4.99/mo unless you cancel in Settings, and the free version stays yours either way.Questions people ask

How does the app know how much weight I should lift?
It starts from your experience, body weight and sex, then adjusts from what you log: hit all your reps and the weight goes up; miss them and it holds or drops.
What if the machine is taken?
In GymAdapt you can ask the coach to swap the exercise, for today only or for good. Fitbod and Planfit have a swap button.
