Most coaching apps are built for remote coaching: the client installs an app, signs in, and you program them from a dashboard for a monthly fee per seat. If that's your business, use one of those — this page is not for you.
Gym Log+ is for the trainer who is on the floor with the client, phone in hand, and wants a fast log that keeps each person's training separate. It was built as a lifter's own logger first; the multi-profile work came from trainers who wrote in, and every piece of it is on the same app everyone else uses.
One iPhone, every client.
Profiles are part of Pro: $4.99/month, $29.99/year, or $79.99 once — the whole app, however many people you train. There is nothing to buy per client, and nothing for the client to install.
What a profile is
Each profile is a complete, separate log. Nothing about one client leaks into another's numbers.
- Their own routines and folders, with target sets, rep ranges and target weights per exercise.
- Their own history — every workout, every set, with the previous session shown beside today's as you log.
- Their own records. Personal records are per profile, so a client's PR is their PR, not the heaviest thing anyone on your phone has lifted.
- Their own body log — weight with a trend chart, measurements, and progress photos.
- Their own stats — the muscle figure, weekly frequency, volume, and the month recap.
Built for a floor with several people on it
- Switch mid-set. The profile switcher is on the logging screen itself. It lists your clients most-recent first, and each row shows what's running — workout name, time elapsed, sets logged — so "who needs me next" is readable before you tap.
- Every client's workout keeps running. One active workout per profile, all at once. Switch away from a client and their session, elapsed clock and rest timer carry on; switch back and you're where you left them.
- A rest timer per client. Start a rest for one client, move to the next, and each timer rings for the right person, named for them.
- Reminders that name the workout. Leave a client's workout open and forget it, and a quiet while later a reminder arrives with their name on it — Finish or Discard from the notification without touching the workout you're in.
- Change the prescription on the floor. Edit an exercise's target sets, reps or weight from inside the workout; the routine remembers it for next time.
- One program, every client. Copy a routine to one profile, or to all of them in one tap — each gets an independent copy, targets and notes included, filed into a matching folder.
- Your Apple Watch follows the client. The watch adopts whichever profile is selected on the phone, so a workout started from your wrist lands in the right client's log, and the watch's start screen names the profile it will log to.
Handing a client their data
No accounts means the client's log lives on your phone and your iCloud. So what a client needs can leave with them, in a format they can use without Gym Log+. (The full backup file is different: it carries every profile on the phone, so it's for moving your own phone, never for handing to one client.)
- A month, as a document. Open a client's month recap and share it as text, headed with their name: totals against the month before, every record with its day, then each exercise with its sessions, sets and best. Paste it into a message or an email.
- Their routine, as a link. A routine or a whole program shares as a link that is the plan — nothing is uploaded anywhere. If the client has Gym Log+, the link opens in their copy; if they don't, it shows the plan in a browser.
- Their history, as a spreadsheet. Export the selected profile's workouts as a plain CSV, free.
- Their history, as a routine to keep going with. A routine shared as a link keeps its targets — the sets, reps and weights you'd prescribed — so a client who leaves can carry on from where you left them.
- When a client leaves, archive them. Archiving removes a profile from the switcher and keeps every workout, body log and record. If they come back, so does their history. Two profiles for one person can be merged.
What it doesn't do
Decisions, not gaps — so you can decide quickly:
- Clients can't see their log from their own phone. There are no accounts and no server, so there's nothing for a client to sign into. The hand-off is an export, a shared link, or the month recap — sent by you.
- No remote coaching. No messaging, no check-ins, no client dashboard, no scheduling or billing.
- It doesn't write the program. The Program Builder assembles a plan from a goal, days and equipment out of the catalog, and progression suggestions propose the next weight when a client hits their targets — but the programming is yours.
If you coach remotely, a coaching platform is the right tool and worth its price. Some trainers run both: the platform for remote clients, Gym Log+ for the ones in the room.

Free to install. Profiles are part of Pro, which has a 7-day free trial — long enough to run a week of sessions on it.
