I’ve been using GymBuddy for about 6 months now and My friend likes iFitness.
GymBuddy has really helped me stay on track. Who can remember every weight you use on 30 different exercises? The apps show you what you did the previous workout so you can try to beat your previous workout bests…I hate when I start off too heavy, that ruins the exercise for me.
Gymbuddy also has a 30,60,90 second timer, which helps me in between sets…
I keep my workouts on a spreadsheet on google docs. When I go to the gym I use pen and paper. No phones allowed. I hate dicking around with gadgets when I’m in the gym. Pen , paper, mp3 player which I don’t mess with the entire workout.
I just got the GymBuddy…I’ll let you know how it goes. It’s nice to have one less thing to remember though and as I use my IPOD while at the gym anyway, might as well utilize it fully.
It’s way better then pen and paper! I have been lifting for a while now and this app has really helped me get back on track, i didn’t realize how off track I really was. You pick the workout and then the exercise, the touch screen allows you to enter the weight and reps…Your previous workout shows right below…It’s a luxury for sure…Plus it’s already on your Ipod touch which you already probably use to listen to music…

I don’t know man… Just seems a little high maintenance… And fruity.
Too much traffic at my gym, I would be too worried about me or somebody dropping an 80lbs DB on my Iphone or Itouch. Or somebody stealing it. But sounds like a cool app.
I keep my cell in the car or locker and use good old pen and paper.
