GoKawiilApp Store Award winner SmartGym just rolled out an update packed with customization options and general quality-of-life improvements. Here’s what’s new.
SmartGym keeps getting more complete and customizable
Last month, SmartGym rolled out a significant update that introduced Strava sync, more customizable sharing options, among other features.
Today, the app released an even bigger update, with several customization improvements that make it even more powerful for users looking for a fully flexible, customizable workout companion app.
With today’s update, the app’s AI-powered Smart Trainer will start suggesting warm-up and cool-down stretch recommendations, “automatically tailored to the exact muscles your routine targets.”
Users can set the duration of each segment, and choose whether warm-ups and cool-downs will count toward their workouts and muscle recovery analysis.
And speaking of SmartGym’s Smart Trainer, users can set it to never automatically replace workout routines with new ones. However, SmartGym suggests users “consider occasional full updates” to avoid hitting a progress plateau.
Back to workout routines, the app now lets users organize their exercise sets into Warm Up, Main, and Cool Down.
This makes it easier to add or remove segments independently, which is ideal for long workouts with multiple exercises. SmartGym now also offers a draft feature, which automatically saves unfinished routines so users can pick them up later.
Another welcome addition in today’s update is Workout Effort. It lets users set the training load on their workouts, “so your sessions contribute to your overall load and recovery picture.”
