What's Gymwolf?

Gymwolf - record and analyze your gym and cardio workouts effectively.

How and why Gymwolf was born

By Indrek Ulst and Mart Ingver - The Gymwolf.com Team, December 2010

For over 4 years I have been writing down all my gym workouts in a journal, the old-fashioned way with pen and paper. The problem with that is that it needs a lot of additional work to calculate all the total weights and reps for each workout. So I almost never do that and because of that I lose most of the useful information about my progress. As the calculating part is actually pretty straight forward, it should be easy to make a computer do the work for you. So the only challenge should be getting the data to the computer. I tried to find something that would do the job, but surprisingly I couldn’t find anything really useful. Most of the existing systems are not meant for gym workouts, are hard to use, or keep the data inside one device (so you can only access your workout data from the computer where the software is installed). That gave me the idea to create the software I need myself.

So what are the advantages of Gymwolf?

• Entering the workout data is easy and fast - you can skip the pen and paper part and add the data with your smartphone directly from the gym (m.gymwolf.com).
• Analyzing the results is fun and smart with the useful graphs that the system generates - no need to use a spreadsheet or draw something on paper. You get a visual overview of your progress.
• No worries about data accessibility - you can access the data from any computer or mobile phone (plus you don’t have to worry about losing your workout data due to computer/phone failure).
• Your friends and/or personal trainer can comment on your workouts so you can get useful tips and feedback even without a trainer present in the gym.

Gymwolf has proven to be a really useful tool for me and I believe that you can benefit from it also! So go ahead and sign up at www.gymwolf.com.
