Fitness-tracking app with streaks

September 15, 2021 9:04 AM

I'm looking for an iOs app for tracking fitness so I can self-motivate via streaks and improvements. Like Duolingo or Mindpal, but for exercise. I don't want to earn money or coupons. I want it to be able to gather movement data through the Apple Health app, but also I would like to enter other exercises, like number of pushups, number of squats, or that I've increased the weight I'm lifting.

The ideal app is not a habit-builder. It would be more like Duolingo, where you get a streak for doing it every day, but you also get stickers or gems or advance to the next league for leveling up your skills or doing a longer practice session.

I use Jefit. It kind of does this -- when you lift progressively higher weights and/or do more reps it will give you a little "Congratulations! You just set a record!" pop-up in the app. And at the end of the workout it gives you a numeric count of how many personal records you broke during that workout. You can see a list of all of these records on your profile page. It also gives you points for each workout, but the way that it does so is kind of convoluted. It doesn't exactly gameify workouts in exactly the way that you want, but I find it motivating enough.
