  • wger

    Self hosted FLOSS fitness/workout, nutrition and weight tracker

  • Great execution! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if you'd thought about integrating with [wger](https://github.com/wger-project/wger/), i.e. exporting the workouts from your app and creating it there.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • stronk

    A simple 5/3/1 web app for tracking lifts and getting stronk. (by bcspragu)

  • As other folks have noted, this is a nice web app, but not well-suited for coming up with a real training plan that meets an individual's health goals.

    For my own personal goals, I've enjoyed/had success with doing variations of Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 workout for roughly a decade, and recently made a simple (and much, much uglier) web app [1] to record my lifts, suggest one-rep max targets, calculate weight for each set, etc. It's not nearly as flexible as the tool in this post (built mostly for 5/3/1 + power lifts) and doesn't have any options except self-hosting (for now), but one can specify their full routine in a JSON-formatted config, and then do their routine.

  • caltre

    Calendário de treinos

  • - frequency: # days between workout days for that particular muscle group

    The goal is to avoid having some days at the gym be huge (many exercises) while others are small (fewer exercises). The script uses simulated annealing to try to even out the schedule as much as possible.

    I am afraid I do not have a website or write-up but the code is here: https://github.com/fabkury/caltre. I have been actually using this script for years and it has made my gym scheduling effortless. I can just focus on the "meta parameters", e.g.:
