Question guide · Gym planner
How should you choose a gym workout planner app?
A gym planner should turn weekly intent into today’s session, respect equipment, and feed logs forward. FormFit supports gym contexts via place and equipment conditions.
Key selection criteria
Clear session unit
A weekly chart without today’s work is hard to follow.
Equipment awareness
You should be able to reflect gym gear constraints.
Log → next plan
Completed work should inform later sessions.
No miracle guarantees
Avoid apps that promise fixed hypertrophy or fat-loss percentages.

You can reflect equipment conditions; not every mix is guaranteed.

General gym strength focus—not competition coaching alone.
