Find the exact flow your user is stuck on.

A Data File is the file that holds your GymTracker training data and related saved setup. It is the centre of the app’s workflow.

Most new users either start with a new Data File or try the sample file first. Once you are comfortable, open your real file, train as normal, and export when you are done.

Choose your existing GymTracker Data File and import it into the app.

The sample file is a safe way to explore the app without touching your real data. It is ideal if you want to learn the layout before opening your own Data File.

If sample mode is active, the app shows that sample mode is on. That means you are exploring demo data rather than your own real file.

Return to the start, then open your real file or create a new one.

Yes. The app is built around opening, using, and exporting a Data File.

The Personal workflow is designed around file use and simplicity. The user journey is centered on the Data File rather than a required account-first process.

Your current work is tied to the loaded file and local app state until you export. That is why exporting is so important.

It means you have changes in the current session that may not yet have been exported back to your Data File.

It shows when you last exported your data so you can judge whether your current state has been saved out recently.

GymTracker shows an import preview before completing the import. From there, you can continue with the recommended import route or use advanced options.

This option combines import with a file upgrade flow where supported.

The advanced options include Merge With Current Data and Save Backup Then Import.

Use it only when you intentionally want the incoming file combined with the currently loaded data.

Use this when you want an extra safety step before replacing what is currently loaded.

The current app wording indicates that supported upgrades attach directly to the file you keep.

Export your Data File to save your latest state.

You can either overwrite the current linked imported file or save using a new file name.

Overwrite is the simpler route if you want one current master file. New file name is the safer route if you want to keep older versions.

Yes. Workout completion still leaves you able to export your updated file.

Open the Workout area and begin your live training session.

It ends the active workout and saves it to history.

Yes. This is available for manual workouts started without an existing template.

It lets you reuse a workout structure again later rather than rebuilding it from scratch.

Yes. You can build a shareable summary and copy it to the clipboard.

The visible options include session personal bests, session metrics, and a fuller summary.

History is the place to review previously completed sessions.

You can review the session, share it, and open it in session analytics.

Yes. This lets you jump from a recorded session into a more analytical view.

Yes. The app confirms an Exercise Session History area for reviewing past performance linked to an exercise.

Use the exercise selector to search, filter, and choose the exercise you want.

Yes. Search is built into the selector.

Yes. The library includes filter controls.

The currently confirmed visible quick filters are Favorites only, Recently used, and Custom only.

It shows only starred exercises.

It shows exercises you have already logged before.

It shows exercises you created yourself.

Yes. The exercise editor allows you to make changes and save them.

The app confirms an Archived Exercises area, which means hidden or archived exercise management is supported.

Open Archived Exercises and restore the item you want back in normal selection.

Usually the reason is one of these. A filter is hiding it. It is archived. You are searching with a term that does not match.

Yes. Analytics is a main app area.

Yes. The visible wording indicates this lets you adjust analytics-related settings without leaving the analytics mode.

It lets you create a target using exercise history or body metrics.

This feature allows you to set weekly set goals by muscle group.

Yes. The app wording indicates these goals are saved to the Data File.

Yes. You can choose a colour from the colour map or enter a HEX or RGB value.

Yes. Data is clearly present in navigation, though the deeper controls were not fully surfaced during verification.

Use Help & Support for user guidance.

Use About GymTracker Personal for app-related overview information.

It means GymTracker has found a local recovery state for unsaved work on that device.

Restore it if you lost recent changes after closing, refreshing, or leaving the app unexpectedly.

Discard it only if you are sure the backup is old, wrong, or no longer wanted.

No. A local backup is a recovery aid inside the app. An exported file is your deliberate saved copy that you keep and can re-import.

Yes. The build includes an Install App option.

No file-handling difference is indicated by the visible app wording. Installation is about access convenience, not replacing the file-based workflow.

Use the app mode selector and choose Personal or PT.

PT mode is the coaching-focused version of GymTracker. It keeps the same file-based workflow, but adds PT-ready tools such as branding, a public PT profile, starter files, and client-ready exports when PT Pro is active.

Open PT Profile in PT mode when you want PT-facing setup such as branding, public profile details, starter files, and client-ready exports.

Yes. PT mode still keeps the file at the centre of the workflow. You coach from the file, review progress, and export the updated file when you are done.

It shows whether each muscle group hit its weekly target sets for the selected week. A green check means the target was hit, a dash means the current week is still in progress, and a red cross means a past week missed the target.

Full inclusion counts a logged set fully for every muscle mapped to that exercise. Fractional share splits the same set across those mapped muscles. Use the one that matches how you want to read your training coverage.

Global looks at your overall training patterns. Exercise focuses on one movement. Session drills into one completed workout. Template compares workouts started from the same template. Body keeps body-metric trends together. Targets keeps weekly target tracking and saved targets together. PBs shows your personal-best trend and latest PB events.

Body keeps your body-metric history together in one place, so weight and other tracked body measurements are easier to review without mixing them into the rest of your training charts.

PBs keeps your personal-best trend and recent PB moments together. Use it when you want the high-level progress view without changing date ranges.

No. Templates are optional. You can start a live workout straight away, then add exercises as you go.

Workout Timer shows how long the current workout has been running. It gives you a simple running session timer while you train.

No. Clients can keep using the normal file-based flow. When they import a valid PT-ready file, GymTracker verifies the PT branding and profile for that file and shows it automatically while the PT subscription stays active.

Because the client-facing branded experience stays in personal mode. GymTracker shows the PT profile and branding there, while keeping PT mode itself reserved for the PT-facing workflow.

A starter file is an optional PT tool for keeping one reusable base file ready for new clients. It keeps reusable setup such as exercises and templates, while leaving out personal history and other rows that should not carry forward.

It lets you add reusable exercises and templates from another file into the saved starter, so you can keep building one starter file over time instead of starting again from scratch.

Use PT Profile in PT mode. That is where you manage branding assets, your public PT profile, starter files, and client-ready exports.

Use Account in PT mode to start PT Pro or manage billing. PT Profile is for the PT-facing tools you use after the account and billing side are ready.

These are fallback recovery tools. Restore brings the last local recovery snapshot back into the app. Discard removes that local recovery snapshot. Download Current Data File appears when GymTracker has a full saved CSV snapshot ready to download directly.
