Review summary

Gymaholic is praised for its ease of use, deep customization, and strong workout tracking with a large exercise library and helpful features like audio cues. However, many users report persistent syncing problems (especially with Apple Watch/iCloud) and HR monitor connections, plus updates that disrupt workflow and concerns about premium pricing. Overall, it’s a powerful, flexible gym planner when it works, but reliability and pricing remain key issues for some users.

Pros

Very easy to use with an intuitive UX/UI and flexible programming that adapts to different training styles (Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, functional, etc).
Highly customizable: add your own workouts/exercises, duplicate workouts, and attach photos; create custom splits and routines.
Extensive library of exercises with many preloaded options; ability to upload personal exercises and pictures for clarity.
Strong tracking and insights for sets, reps, weights, and rest; good history and progress visibility.
Good Apple Watch integration and ability to sync with Apple Fitness; useful audio cues and rest timers.

Cons

Syncing with Apple Watch and iCloud is unreliable, with frequent glitches and updates that disrupt syncing.
Heart rate monitor integration is inconsistent; no clear in-app setting to connect HR monitors and live HR data can stop syncing.
Updates can remove or alter features, making on-the-fly edits and timer controls harder to use.

2026-06-02	At*****	This app sucks now. It was really good until you had to pay an increasingly more expensive subscription for the “same great experience” or whatever. Now, you can’t update weight on super sets, I have to constantly restore purchases to get the premium exercises to show up, and of all things, I pay a subscription for this tripe. Excel will work just fine, and I don’t have to pay a subscription for it.

2026-04-04	jm*****	The app used to show live heart rate with a connected monitor. I have a Polar H10 chest strap that I use with the app but it recently stopped working with the app. There’s no setting to connect to heart rate monitors in the app so I don’t know what to do to fix the issue. I’ve already deleted and reinstalled the app, repaired the chest strap, changed the settings in the polar app and nothing fixes the issue. I like my data synced up with my workouts.

2026-03-04	Br*****	I have downloaded at least 10 lifting apps in the past 3 years, and Gymaholic is by far the easiest to use, easiest to adjust to whatever type of program you’re running (Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, functional, etc). The premium features are way worth the price (which if you compare to Fitbit, Strava, Wahoo, Gymkeeper, GreySkull, or Stronglifts 5x5 it’s cheaper!!!). This app has a boatload of exercises pre-loaded, but if you want to add one that’s not on the list, it’s a piece of cake. You can even snap a picture of the exercise from the internet and add it to exercise description!!! I haven’t seen anything like it! You can adjust rest times on the fly, be notified when rest time is over, it’s fantastic! The augmented reality feature is wicked cool, because it will tell you when each muscle group is ready to rock again after self-adjusted or recommended rest days! I will never use another app!
