GymAdapt: a gym plan that fits your club and gets heavier as you do
Tell GymAdapt what your club has (racks, dumbbells, cables, machines) and how many days you train. It writes the plan, shows a video for every lift, logs each set and raises your weights as you get stronger. Free to $24.99 a year. Get GymAdapt free on the App Store →
Most Anytime Fitness clubs are small, open around the clock and equipped for real strength work: dumbbells, a rack or two, cables and selectorized machines. That makes them great for lifting on your own schedule, and it means the app you use matters more than at a class-based gym. Here is what the official app covers and where a training app fits in.
What the Anytime Fitness app does
- Free to download. Some features work without a membership; coaching is for members.
- Workouts and challenges: a library you can filter by fitness level, activity type and the equipment you have, plus weekly challenges.
- AF coaching (members): book consultations and personal or group training, and message a coach by text or video.
- Goals and syncing: daily and weekly goals, with connections to companion apps and trackers like Fitbit.
What it does not do
- Write a lifting plan for your goal and days, then adjust it as you improve.
- Log sets, reps and weight over months, with records and charts per exercise.
- Tell you when to go heavier on each lift.

A 3-day Anytime Fitness workout plan
| Day | Exercises (3 x 8-12 unless noted) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 · Full body A | Barbell or goblet squat · dumbbell bench press · lat pulldown · dumbbell Romanian deadlift · plank 3 x 30-45 s |
| Day 2 · Full body B | Leg press · seated cable row · dumbbell shoulder press · cable triceps pushdown · dumbbell curl |
| Day 3 · Full body C | Dumbbell split squat · incline dumbbell press · one-arm dumbbell row · hip thrust · cable crunch |
Train three non-consecutive days a week. Rest 1-2 minutes between sets. When you hit 12 reps on every set, add a little weight next time.
Anytime Fitness tips
- Use the 24/7 hours. Early mornings and late evenings are the quietest times to get a rack.
- Have a swap ready for each move (goblet squat for the rack, dumbbell row for the cable row) so a busy station never stops your session.
- Book the free consult many clubs offer new members, then run your own plan between coaching sessions.
- Log every set so you know what to beat next time. Track your Anytime Fitness workouts in GymAdapt →
