Built by one lifter, between sets.
I kept a paper notebook for years because no app was better than it. The good ones wanted a subscription before I could log a single set. The free ones could not tell me the one thing I actually wanted to know: what should I put on the bar today?
So Gym Journal answers that question first, and everything else second. It’s a small operation — one developer, no investors, no growth team writing copy about your fitness journey. If something is broken, the person who wrote it reads the email.

What I won’t do
Four promises you can hold me to. Each one is checkable.
No ads. Not one.
There’s no ad SDK in the app and there never will be. Nothing you log is sold, brokered, or handed to an advertiser. The only way this makes money is people choosing to pay for Pro.
The free tier isn’t a demo
Unlimited workout logging and all 449 exercises are free, with no account needed to start. A free account adds cloud sync, Gym Bros and the leaderboards. Pro adds Smart Progression, advanced analytics and more training tools.
You can leave with everything
Pro exports your full history to CSV in one tap, and if you’re on the free tier you can email me and I’ll send it to you — your own history is not something you should have to pay to read. Delete your account and it’s gone, with a 30-day window in case you change your mind.
Honest about the AI
AI Coach drafts routines, and AI Body Projection creates an illustration from a photo. Both are optional. Review the data-use notice before using them. Smart Progression uses programmed rules, not AI.
