Workout tracking issues

Posting again as issues raised 10 months ago still not fixed and new bugs have come up

1. Set-Specific Target Repetitions Not Allowed
Currently, the app does not allow assigning different target repetitions for each set of an exercise. For example:
Set 1 – 12 reps
Set 2 – 10 reps
Set 3 – 8 reps
This is a common workout pattern (pyramid sets, reverse pyramid, etc.) and should be supported for flexibility in training plans.


2. Unnecessary Set Break After Final Set
When completing all target sets for an exercise, the app still initiates a set break (e.g., 1 minute), even though the exercise is finished. This results in back-to-back breaks:
1-minute break after last set (unnecessary)
Followed by 2-minute break before the next exercise
This could be optimized to skip the final set break and directly move to the inter-exercise break.

3. Rest timer display issue
After completing an exercise, the rest timer often remains stuck at 00:00 on the screen even though it continues running in the background.
This is highly inconvenient because I have to navigate back to the workout routine repeatedly just to check the remaining rest time.

4. Limited workout customization
Most pre-built exercises only support a fixed target rep count.
There is no option to record the actual number of reps completed, which may differ from the target.
For some exercises, there is also no option to log or edit the weight lifted.

5. Inaccurate calorie tracking for badminton
Calorie estimates for badminton appear significantly inflated.
During a session with relatively low activity and plenty of standing/waiting time, the app reported approximately 555 kcal burned, which seems unrealistic and raises concerns about tracking accuracy.


6. No Data Retention for Reps & Weights in Custom Routines
In custom workout routines, the app doesn’t retain previously entered reps and weights.
For example, if I input the following for Bench Press:
Set 1 – 12 reps @ 40 kg
Set 2 – 10 reps @ 50 kg
Set 3 – 8 reps @ 60 kg
The next time I perform the same routine, it should a. Show how many reps and weight I did last time before starting the exercise and auto-populate these values for reference, with the ability to edit them. This would allow better progress tracking and reduce repetitive data entry.


7. Limited Exercise Library (Especially for Gym Workouts)
The app currently lacks several common gym exercises, such as:
Chest: Chest fly, Incline/Decline Chest Press
Back: Seated Row, Barbell/Dumbbell Row
Shoulders: Shrugs
Triceps: Rope Pushdown, Overhead Extension
Core: Plank variations, Crunches
Calves: Standing/Seated Calf Raises
A dedicated section for standard gym exercises would greatly enhance usability and routine variety.


8. Missing Set & Rep Options for 'Weight Machine' Exercise
When selecting Weight Machine as an exercise, the app doesn't provide options to enter sets and reps. This limits the ability to structure workouts properly when using machines.
