Everything you need to know, from your first workout to tracking long-term progress.
When you open WorkoutAssist you land on the dashboard — your home base. From here you can jump straight into Workouts, Exercises, Weight, Measurements, Progress Photos, or Settings. Everything in the app is reachable from this one screen.
Tap Workouts to see your routines. WorkoutAssist ships with three example routines — Push Day, Pull Day and Leg Day — each with example exercises so you can see how a workout is structured. Edit or delete these, or tap the + button to build your own from scratch.
Open any workout to see its exercises, each shown with the target sets and rep range (e.g. 3 sets × 8–12 reps). A session progress bar tracks how many times you’ve completed that workout, and a running History list shows every past session with its date. Tap the comment icon to add your own notes to a workout.
Tap into any exercise within a workout to log your sets. For each set, enter the weight and reps you completed — the app shows your last recorded values right underneath as a reference, so you always know what to aim to beat. Tick the checkmark to mark a set as done.
A full history of previous sessions for that exercise is listed below, so you can scroll back and see exactly how each set has progressed over time.
Tap the chart icon on any exercise to see your progress over time. You’ll see your Best Weight and Best Volume (weight × reps × sets) at a glance, along with the date each was achieved. Switch between the Top Set and Volume tabs to view the matching trend line and watch your strength build session after session.
The Exercises tab holds your personal exercise library, organised by muscle group (Back, Chest, Shoulders and more). Use the search bar to quickly find an exercise, or tap + to add new ones as you learn them. Once added, an exercise becomes available to pick whenever you’re building or editing a workout.
The Weight screen lets you log your body weight over time and see your starting weight, current trend, and a chart of every entry. Remember: the scale measures total body mass, not body composition — as you build muscle and lose fat your weight can stay flat or even tick up slightly. Judge progress over weeks, not days, and pair this with measurements and progress photos for the fuller picture.
Tap Measurements to log your chest, arms, waist, hips, quads and calves. Every field is optional — just record the measurements you personally care about — and each entry is timestamped so you can track how your shape changes over weeks and months.
Use Progress Photos to build a visual timeline of your body shape changing over time. Tap Add Photos to get started — combined with your weight and measurement history, this gives you the clearest possible view of your progress.
