For those of you who use apps when you go to the gym, are there any good (preferably FREE) apps out there that will provide me with a workout for the machines at the gym? My gym used to have one but it's been out of order for the last two weeks, and now I feel kind of lost when I go. I like to use the Nike one at home for no equipment and I record my workouts on another app--I just need some guidance for what to do.

Any/all help appreciated!

Thanks!

    Hey, I just saw your group randomly when searching for some help and I know this may not help answer you question but I thought I would share what has worked for me! For the past 2/3 years I have been using home workout programs instead of the gym (although I do love yoga classes!) Anyways, I made more progress with them than I ever did at the gym, but more importantly, they helped me break through 2 plateaus! I love them because I never have to wonder what to do at the gym or remember when I worked this body part or that body part! Have you ever considered doing a home workout program?

    I highly suggest using a workout program like Stronglifts, Starting Strength or New rules of lifting.

    I know Stronglifts has an application to track workouts, although I believe it's only with apple.

    Body weight exercise are good for a bit, nothing beats a good lifting program, IMO.

    OP - follow QC's advice and get on a good tried and true program.
