Use Notes

I use Notes. I have all my exercises with the weight and sets I normally do listed. When I do a set, I mark it done with an asterisk.

Yes, I have memorized my workout settings but this helps in two ways. When I decide to increase the weight setting, I am encouraged to keep it at that level on the next workout. Plus, I can track aerobic workouts more accurately.

As soon as Gyminee comes up with a native App, I'm sure I'll ditch the Notes method.

From what I understand Gyminee is working on a native app so you wont need a perfect connection to upload your progress.

Great work around though!! also hear Cut and paste is coming in an update. YES!!!

My solution

I know it sucks to go to a gym that has no wifi and poor reception to update your exercises up to gyminee's web app.

I know they are probably working on a native app for the iPhone and in the mean time you guys should try out Fit Phone. It allows you to set up a workout plan and track your results, it keeps everything on the phone so no need for internet connection.Cost $5 bucks and it works pruddy good. I used it today to track my workout, then came home and updated my Gyminee!

Jott

I use voice-to-text service Jott (you can call in or use their iPhone app). Just dictate your workout stats and add to G later. Of course, you might be self-conscious about speaking into your phone at the gym. I think I'll head over to Jott to suggest they add Gyminee to their direct links (which would let me input workout data directly into Gyminee by voice).

You actually don't need to worry about the connection while you're at the gym. Simply select 'input progress for all exercises' before you hit the weak network spot. You can enter all your info for all your sets, etc. at once (and you don't need an active connection. Then when you leave and you have a better connection, just tap Submit to send all your data at once. I find this easier anyway than selecting each exercise separately and inputting its results.

Just my $0.02.

that's awesome

Thanks for the idea!!... so far I've been taking hand notes, but now I can use my iPhone more productively. Thanks!

I pretty much do the same workout every day in the gym - I find I just need to submit the workout progress in one go (the workout being a single session on the cross trainer and a bunch of weight sets) rather then specific bits of it.

I can do this on the normal website, but the iphone site forces me to put progress in for each bit of the exercise, which is dedious. So I just use the notepad to note anything different/unusual/specfic for the day - weight, cals burned, etc) and then update gyminee when I'm back at a big screen.

I've got an ipod touch btw, but I figured I could get into this group on a waiver ;)

Great idea

I haven't used the internet yet at the gym (just joined Gyminee today). But if my internet connection is slow, I'll try this as well.

Thanks!
