how's it going guys David here from bumble calm and in this video I'm doing a review on the app gym rat available from the Android Market or should I say the Google Play Store so the app is a dollar 19 cents and honestly I feel like it's worth it if you're serious about going to the gym and following a specific routine because this app could definitely help you do so there are a few reasons why I like this app and I'll go over it as I'm giving you the walk through the first thing is the UI so I'm go ahead and hit on exercises as you can see pretty much everything in this app is just beautiful I mean it just looks good on the phone so that's definitely something I could appreciate but it definitely doesn't lack in functionality so it's got both beauty and brains if you will anyway let's say for example I wanted to work out my biceps so I'm into my list of exercises I hit biceps and it gives me a whole list of you know workouts I could do at the gym or at home for my biceps so definitely something cool if I click on one it'll give you little pictures of how to do the exercise give you the written instructions and give you a few tips to avoid hurting yourself or something that might help you so that's definitely a cool feature of course you have front and back side now let's say you don't necessarily know what what mostly you want to workout in are specifically what muscle you want to workout you can just hit muscle groups and say you know what I just want bigger legs or better better legs so hid legs and it gives you a whole bunch of leg workouts that you could do at the gym where at home so pretty cool and the reason why I'm staying at the gym where at home is because there is an equipment filter you could check or uncheck though the workouts that you can't or can't do for example if you don't have a pull-up bar you can uncheck it and that way it'll filter those guys out and you won't have to worry about not having a specific piece of equipment and you also have a difficulty filter so if you wanted all difficulties normal or advanced you could do so so obviously the advanced ones are gonna be a little bit harder to do but if that's what you're going for definitely can do it on here so I'm let me back out of here and go into the routine section so there's a few pre-loaded routines for example the basic three day routine loaded on here is a three-day workout for arms legs and back but the cool thing about it is once you've loaded in your routine so you could edit your own custom ones into here but I'm just going to show this as an example let's say I wanted to do Monday's workout so I hit the play button and I can choose what I want to do so for example let's say I bench so let's say I've been I don't know 50 pounds and I do it eight times I could save it and as you can see right here it logs it for me now let's say I wanted to rest only five seconds in between which obviously it's definitely realistic but I want to show you the future I'll hit save and rest and you can see the timer right here it tells you how long you have and then gives you a lower alarm until you have to start your next rep and you can do this over and over again until you're done so as you can see I finished the workout and I automatically took me to the next workout which is the incline barbell and you just go on and on it's a good way to keep you on track and on task at the gym increasing your level of productivity and definitely is something that I think that would help you or at least this help me another thing you could do is go over to progress so you can enter in your weight it'll calculate your BMI based of your height and gender and in your age you also do body measurements so I can calculate your body fat and that way over time you know as it changes you can actually track your changes see graphs showing you your improvements which is you know motivating in itself you can give the developer feedback pressing this guy going into the settings lets you create multiple profiles so if you want to share this up with a friend why you go to the gym you can do so you can set the measurement users from the English or the metric system you could choose the first day of the week from Monday or Sunday and a few other things like setting the timer alarm sound on and off and things like that there's a few tools on here like a stopwatch and a countdown timer if you need it at the gym or if you need a time your workouts and it's going to log this is basically your you could see all your logs on here based on your calendar so I could go for today's and I can see what I've done today and for one to yesterday I could see what I did yesterday and it's a good way to keep track of your workouts so definitely something cool you create a new log just from right here and go from here and then the last thing I want to show you is up when you build your own custom routine for example if I wanted to create a new routine and I you know I'll just name it whatever and let's say I want to do it Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays hit confirm I could actually go into the exercise list and say I like a specific exercise like this one I could add it into my routine by tapping on this guy and then hitting it saying what day do I want it's why I select from Monday and I could set my target sets target weight and whatever I want hit confirm and I'll add it to that workout and then next time I go into my routine list I'll have that custom built routine right here with the workouts that I added so definitely something cool obviously I didn't add that work up that I was just showing you guys but definitely something to keep in mind when if you're looking for an app like this like I said it's only a dollar ninety-nine I definitely thing's worth it I had an issue with it I emailed the developer he got right back to me right away so definitely has good developer support and I think the ABS is only gonna get better in fact when you hit miscellaneous it actually says miscellaneous features are in development and are due in future releases so you definitely know that the app is only gonna get better from here on out and that's why I recommend it alright that's it for me in this video Dave Bolcom thank you for watching it and don't forget to visit wombocombo for cell phone news reviews and how to's thank you
