SmartGym has introduced a significant update to its iPhone application, enhancing the workout logging experience for users. This update brings the Inline Logging interface, allowing users to adjust and log exercise details such as repetitions and weight directly within the same screen. Previously, this functionality was exclusive to the Apple Watch version of the app.
The Inline Logging interface displays a badge in the bottom-right corner of the reps and weight fields, indicating the originally planned values for each set. This feature helps users compare their actual performance against their workout plan, facilitating better tracking of progress. Additionally, once a set is logged, the rest timer initiates automatically on the same screen, streamlining the workout process without the need to navigate away.
To further enhance user experience, SmartGym has introduced a redesigned keyboard tailored for in-exercise logging. This new keyboard includes buttons for quickly adjusting values and changing a set’s type between regular, warm-up, and drop sets, making the logging process more efficient.
Another notable addition is the Smart Action Button, which predicts the user’s next likely action and presents the appropriate option at the bottom of the interface. Depending on the workout context, options may include ‘Log Set + Start Rest,’ ‘Start Exercise,’ ‘First Superset,’ ‘Update Set,’ ‘Next Exercise,’ and ‘End Workout.’ The intelligence behind the Smart Action Button has been improved to better recognize the user’s progress within the workout, ensuring that the most relevant action is surfaced at the right time.
For added convenience, users can configure the iPhone’s physical Action Button to trigger SmartGym’s Smart Action Button, allowing for quicker workout management without navigating through the app.
These updates reflect SmartGym’s commitment to providing a seamless and efficient workout tracking experience. By integrating these features, the app not only simplifies the logging process but also helps users stay aligned with their fitness goals by offering real-time feedback and adjustments.
