What is Simple Workout Log?
Simple Workout Log is designed to replace paper workout journals with a digital solution that prioritizes simplicity and efficiency. Originally created in 2012 by a team dissatisfied with existing workout tracking apps, it offers a clean interface that avoids unnecessary complexity, allowing users to log workouts quickly without slowing them down in the gym. The app supports both strength and cardio exercises, with features like superset logging, cloud backup, and data export to .csv format for analysis in Excel.
Despite its minimalist approach, Simple Workout Log includes powerful tools such as detailed charts to visualize progress over time, a concise history for easy analysis, and the ability to copy previous workouts to save data entry time. It works on any device from smartphones to desktop PCs via a fully responsive website, and an Android app is available for offline use, with a native iOS app under development. The app uses cloud backup to secure data and allows switching between US Standard and Metric units, making it versatile for users worldwide.
