Looking for a strength training app

hi everyone,

im starting strength training, and I'm looking for an app that lets me build my own routine (or modify theirs). I'd like one that includes free weights and gym equipment, not just body exercises.

ideally, one that lets me track my reps and weights etc.

it doesn't have to be free, but free is always nice!

Swork is great, but doesn't include weights.

Nike training is beautiful, but I can't seem to modify the workouts?

any recommendations would be awesome!

thanks

Wierd though eh? I've spent a lot of time this weekend pitching this as an app that needs developing to my husband haha. I'm going with fitocracy for now, but I'm not a fan.

I have an app called fitlist-- I think it will do what you are looking for. Truth be told- it's annoying to use-I don't want to be bothered stopping after each machine (or even each workout) to log what it just did. I see it as the equivalent of walking around with a clipboard/notebook- just a nuisance. And I get annoyed that the gym will call a machine one name, the app calls it something else.

When I do strength- I just rotate between arm & legs with abs/core. 15reps, twice on each machine.

That's a good point about the annoying factor. I'll check out fitlist, thanks!

The website Fitness Blender has great workouts you can do at home with minimal equipment. You can follow one of there programs or just pick an exercise. I am not sure if they have an app. 

https://www.fitnessblender.com/

It is also free.

Thanks! The kinesiologist at my clinic mentioned, but I forgot to check it out! Good reminder!

It has some suggestions that might be viable.
