VigiGym – Workout Tracker for iPhone & Apple Watch
VigiGym. Stop guessing. Start growing.
Log sets, weights and reps in seconds. Next session, you see exactly what you lifted last time — on your iPhone or your Apple Watch. No coach, no clutter, just your progress.
You finish a workout feeling strong.A week later, you can't remember what you lifted.So you guess. Again.
Progress slows. Motivation fades. Not because you lack discipline — because nothing was recorded. VigiGym was built for that moment: when training gets serious, but your tracking doesn't.
How it works
Build. Log. Grow.
The moments that matter in every session. VigiGym is built around exactly these — nothing else.
01
Assemble workouts in seconds
From straight sets to supersets, giant sets, and drop sets – VigiGym adapts to your training style with a modular builder. Combine your favorite exercises with a few taps — 242 built-in, plus any custom exercise you create yourself — tweaking weights on the fly. Whether you're chasing hypertrophy for bodybuilding or raw strength for powerlifting – start with a basic lift and evolve it into a complex set.
Supersets
Giant sets
Drop sets
Pyramid sets
02
Log every set without a keyboard
Sweaty hands, gloves, shaking fingers – VigiGym transforms workout input with precision sliders and pickers. Big, glove-friendly buttons for one-hand grips, swipe gestures to complete sets and navigate. Mark sets done and swipe the rest timer – it works even without looking at your screen.
No typing

03
Did more today? Take it into your next session.
More reps than planned? Heavier – or lighter? Right after the set, a long-press adjusts reps and weight to what you actually did. At the end of the routine, one tap makes those values your defaults for next time. Logging achieved values is free; the one-tap adoption is Pro.

Your guide weight for every set – calculated from your 1RM
Stop guessing your working weights. VigiGym's built-in 1RM calculator gives you calculated guide weights for hypertrophy, strength or endurance – based on what you actually lift. Pyramid and drop sets are calculated instantly, and the rest countdown keeps your pace between sets.

VigiGym in a nutshell
Essential strength tool. Nothing unnecessary.

Every routine card delivers an instant snapshot of your targeted muscle groups – color-coded and matched to your split. VigiGym spots when you're stacking a superset or giant set and auto-groups your exercises. See what you train. Know what you build.

Your training data stays on your device. iCloud Sync is optional and off by default — no server between you and your training.

What lifters say
Real reviews. Real lifters.
“The app is super clear, modern in design and extremely easy to use. What I like most is that you can track your workouts quickly and in a structured way without being distracted by unnecessary features. […] The Apple Watch integration works perfectly and the progress displays are hugely motivating.”
Luca.13Translated from the German App Store, abridged
“I'm absolutely thrilled with the app! It's incredibly easy and intuitive to use, so you can get started right away. The user interface is clear and helps you find your way around quickly. A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to train in an uncomplicated and efficient way!”
JerryMaus2506Translated from the German App Store
“Very clear and easy to use. A big advantage is that the app is compatible with the Apple Watch. That makes training fun.”
Sascha13782Translated from the German App Store
“Well thought-out app that can be operated quickly and easily! Everything very high-quality and sensibly designed!”

Got questions?
Straight talk. No BS.
The questions we hear most — answered without marketing fluff.
Where is my data stored?
Your training data stays on your device — no third-party cloud, no account required. Your workout history is stored locally on your iPhone by default. Optional iCloud Sync (off by default) lets you back it up to your private iCloud account. The only thing that ever leaves the app is anonymous, cookie-free usage statistics — never your training data.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No — VigiGym works perfectly on iPhone alone. But if you have an Apple Watch, it enhances the experience with wrist-based controls, rest timers, and haptic feedback.
Can I try before I buy?
Yes – training itself is free for everyone: unlimited routines and trainings, full workout log and streak, stats for your last 20 days. And the monthly plan starts with a 7-day free trial of everything in Pro – cancel anytime, no strings attached.
Is there an Android version?
No - VigiGym is an iOS-only app. Every screen and animation is hand-crafted for SwiftUI, and bringing the same experience to Android would be a massive undertaking for a one-person team.
Can I add my own exercises?
Absolutely — and it takes seconds. VigiGym ships with 242 exercises, but if your gym has a machine or a variation we don't cover yet, you're never stuck: create a custom exercise, and it slots into your routines just like any built-in movement. Your training, your library.
What iOS version is required?
VigiGym requires iOS 26.0 or later; the Apple Watch app requires watchOS 26.0 or later.
Is it really made by one person?
Yes — I built the entire app, website, design, and visuals myself. 30+ years of experience and genuine passion for lifting went into every detail.
Will the app evolve?
Yes - I follow a Monozukuri philosophy: build a rock-solid foundation first, then layer in new features one by one. Every addition must match the same simplicity.
Will more exercises be added?
VigiGym launches with 242 exercises, each with custom muscle visualizations. More are coming — but always with precision, not mass production. And if you need one today, you can create it yourself right away.
What makes this app different?
VigiGym gets out of your way. No social feeds, no banners, no clutter — just fast, clean workout tracking. Other apps want to be your coach. VigiGym just wants to be invisible until you need it.
Who is the VigiGym workout tracker app for iPhone made for?
For lifters who plan their own training and want every set logged cleanly. No subscription traps, no social distractions — just focused workout tracking that respects your time and privacy.
How does VigiGym compare to other gym log apps?
Most gym log apps want your data and attention. VigiGym is a weight training app built by a lifter, for lifters — it tracks what matters and stays out of your way.
Does VigiGym work as an Apple Watch gym app?
Yes — and it's a true standalone experience. Track your entire workout from your wrist with haptic feedback, rest timers, and no phone required.
30+ years under the bar
I built the app I wished existed.
I'm Achim Loobes. I've been lifting since the late '80s, back when progress lived in worn notebooks and crossed-out numbers. Decades later, with an iPhone in my pocket, something felt wrong. Training had evolved. Tracking hadn't.
Every app I tried pulled me out of the workout. Too many features I never asked for. Or tools so basic they broke the moment training got serious. I didn't want motivation. I wanted clarity. Something that thought like a lifter—focused, precise, no noise.
When I couldn't find it, I stopped searching and started building. Every line of code. Every pixel. Every muscle visualization. Over 2,000 hours, alone, driven by the same discipline that keeps me coming back to the gym.
And then there is the look. I wanted VigiGym to feel as if Apple had built it: 100% native SwiftUI, every screen tuned for iOS 26, haptics, Dark Mode, Dynamic Island, the lot. Possibly the best-looking workout tracker for iPhone. That was the ambition, anyway. You be the judge.
I use VigiGym myself in every single workout. VigiGym isn't a corporate workout app. It's the tool I wanted for myself.
