#I built a workout tracking app for the HC program

I found myself doing this weird dance of going to the HC website on my phone and navigating the website to find that day's workouts and clicking a bunch to get to where I need to each day.

I build custom business apps with low-code professionally, so I used my skills to make a Hybrid Calisthenics fitness tracking app using SmartSuite. This allows me to track my workouts and view the instructions all in one place.

In addition the app has other cool features like:

  • works on mobile
  • a button that generates entries for the day's recommended pair of workouts
  • a notes section for each workout you do to log how you were feeling/performed that day
  • tracking the overall mastery of each exercise based on the level you achieve and sustain
  • automatically promoting you to the next exercise if you log enough reps at level 3 consecutively
  • instructions from the website are accessible within the app including a gif version of the instruction video for visual reference
  • and other stuff I'm building as I go like a health dashboard

I made it for myself but thought maybe a couple people here would find it interesting

Wow looks really cool! How long did this take you?

That's some dedication!

Oh I legit didn't know about the app! I started making this last summer in Airtable before the app existed and then made a better version in SmartSuite in the new year when I jumped back on my fitness routine.

@gentle minnow, the infrastructure took a few hours. The longest part which is ongoing is just adding the information/gifs etc which I kind of just do a little at a time/as needed.

#

I'm continually adding automations to it so the system runs itself. It's getting better at calculating my stats/performance on its own without me needing to interpret the data myself

#

Just watched the app video. It's awesome. Y'all are always so thoughtful with everything you put out. I really appreciate this community.

@tepid dust might find this cool too

@gentle minnow I can send it to anybody who wants it but the platform itself is still working on the ability to duplicate the automations so at that point it's more of a database than a functioning "app" like my version is

When I'm able to transfer my app with the automations, I'll post again so people can use it as intended!

I'm sure some people will appreciate it!

It can be modified to be used as a normal tracking app but it's designed for HC. All the workouts/instructions are loaded into it but you can def add your own stuff
