The problem

Sound familiar?

"I can't tell if I'm actually getting stronger."
"My app decides my program for me."
"Logging takes so long that I stop doing it."
"My workout history is stuck in an app I can't leave."

GainGames was built to fix all four. See how

What you get

Training you can see

The builder

Log the workout you actually do

Straight sets, supersets, circuits, AMRAPs, EMOMs, For Time, intervals, Tabata and cardio. Mix them in one workout, and log each set in a couple of taps.

The 9 workout formats

A workout in progress: deadlift sets with weight and reps, a rest timer at the top, and completed sets marked in gold

Personal records

A PR at every rep count

GainGames keeps your best weight for every rep count, from a single up to 50, so a heavy triple counts as much as a new max. Your strength curve shows them all, with an estimated one-rep max.

How personal records are counted

An exercise's personal records: best 225 for 1, an estimated one-rep max of 233, and a strength curve across rep counts

16 rep ranges

Track your progress

Watch your progress, week over week

The Progress tab puts it in one place: every PR you've set, and the volume and sets each muscle got, charted week over week. Look back 4, 8 or 12 weeks, or all the way to your first workout.

Muscle rings and weekly volume

Programs and progression

Progression you control

Follow a starter program or build your own. Pick the rule for each exercise: add weight, add reps and then weight, or add time or distance. GainGames works out your next target from what you did last time, and you can always change it.

Your week

One score for your whole week

Home shows today's workout and a score out of 100 for the week: did you train when you planned, enough, better than last time, and evenly. Close your weekly ring for a medal, and keep a streak going week to week.

The game

Every workout counts toward something

Each workout, working set and PR earns XP toward your next level, through seven tiers from Newcomer to Legend. Badges mark the milestones, from your first workout to a three-plate deadlift. The rules are the same for everyone.

Weekly volume

See what each muscle got this week

GainGames counts your hard sets for every muscle, with half credit for the muscles that help. Each muscle's ring fills blue at its minimum, green in its best range for growth, and red when it's had more than it needs.

Your data

Your history is yours

Every workout you log is kept, on a calendar you can scroll back through. Repeat any past workout, or reopen one to fix it. Export it all whenever you like, as a file or as text you can paste into ChatGPT or Claude. Export will never be behind a paywall.

Nine formats

From straight sets to Tabata

Every format the builder offers, in one workout if you want.

SetsStraight sets, one exercise at a time.
SupersetTwo or more exercises back to back, then rest.
CircuitThree or more exercises in a row, then rest. Repeat for each round.
AMRAPAs many rounds as you can before the clock runs out. Reps into the next round count too.
EMOMEvery minute, on the minute: do the work, rest for what's left of the minute.
For TimeGet through all the work as fast as you can. Your time is the score.
IntervalsWork hard for a set time, rest, repeat. Log what you did in each round.
Tabata8 rounds of 20 seconds all-out, 10 seconds rest. About 4 minutes. Count your reps each round; you can fill them in at the end.
CardioA run, ruck, ride, row or swim inside this workout. Use the stopwatch, or log the totals after.

Why GainGames

How GainGames is different

You run your program

GainGames never rewrites your plan behind your back. It suggests, you decide.

The game is fair

No ad tracking

We don't track you across other apps or websites, and we don't sell your data.
