Technogym: Training & Gym app

Works great when it does, but most recent update has broken a lot of functionality. Workouts will either automatically self complete without any input. Then exercises will not save. Logging in to gym equipment only works on Vario but not on treadmill. Otherwise app is very good!

Getting back into the gym after a long break, I thought the Technogym app would be useful for reacquainting myself with proper form, building a routine, and tracking reps, weights and progress. The gym I’m using is equipped almost entirely with Technogym equipment, with QR codes and app integration on machines throughout the facility, so this seemed like exactly what the app should be designed for. Instead, the app feels like an afterthought attached to an otherwise very polished equipment ecosystem. There are only four main tabs—Coach, Explore, Challenges and Results—but each one opens into another overload of options, menus and unrelated content. If I simply want to walk into the gym, open a saved workout, do 8 or 10 exercises, enter my sets, reps and weights, see what I did last time and move on, that basic workflow is unnecessarily difficult. Creating and editing a workout is clunky, and finding exercises means sorting through countless variations with names that aren’t always obvious unless you already know fitness terminology. I’ve ended up repeatedly editing the same workout and manually updating everything each time. At that point, I could just use the Notes app on my phone. The app also prominently tracks something called “MOVEs,” yet there’s no obvious explanation of what that means or why it matters. Meanwhile, I’m being presented with challenges, outdoor workouts, wellness articles, nutrition content, meditations, signature programs, wearable integrations and all sorts of other material. I don’t need the app to be my nutritionist, meditation guide, lifestyle coach and social fitness platform. I’m at the gym to work out. For $9 a month, I expected simplicity and useful integration with Technogym’s own equipment. Instead, it feels like a “be all things to all people” approach where the basic gym experience is buried under everything else. There also seems to be very little practical support or tutorial content showing how to efficiently use the app for a simple strength-training routine. Give me a straightforward way to pick exercises, save a routine, log sets, reps and weights, quickly see my previous numbers and track progress. That would make the app genuinely useful.
