To stay consistent with our fitness journey, it's essential to track our progress. Since we're on our phones a lot anyway, there are apps for that! Here are some simple apps to help maximize those gains.
FitBoy - Workout Tracker & Log
FitBoy is a completely free, no-nonsense app to log workouts. You can build custom routines and save them to help keep your workouts on schedule. Each exercise can be customized to suit your preferred workout style.
The app also tracks your progress with analytics, so you can see how far you've come and how heavy that 1-rep max is.
After you crush the workout, FitBoy has the "brag" button, where you can share your routine with friends and family. There's also the "power up" button, which lets you stock up on APEX at any time!
And your workout data is only stored in the app and is not collected by the developers. FitBoy is available now for iOS.
Nike Run Club
If you're an avid runner or just starting, Nike Run Club is a great app to use. Track things like running speed, distance, GPS route, elevation, and heart rate.
The app has mobile coaches to help guide you through runs and keep you on pace.
It's completely free and has targeted training plans for runners at all levels, from 5k all the way to a full marathon.
Create and share challenges with friends or others in the community.
And you can even add what running shoes you're wearing to keep track of how many miles you've put in, and maybe when it's time to replace them.
The Nike Run Club app is available for iOS and Android.
MyFitnessPal
A big part of fitness is nutrition, and MyFitnessPal is a great app for tracking and managing that.
MyFitnessPal has a food database of over 14 million foods, including restaurants. Log the food you eat with just a simple search. Log store-bought meals with a barcode scan.

And be sure to log your water intake in the app as well! MyFitnessPal is available for iOS and Android.
