New Updates to GymTechnik

Monday, April 20, 2009 by Gavin

One of my most used fitness programs is GymTechnik.  I’ve written about them before here and here and they just got even better with their latest set of updates.  These updates include fixes as well as enhancements to the current program.  If you are currently using GymTechnik to track your gym progress I recommend you do.

One of my favorite things on the site is the frequent article updates.  Their library has gotten bigger and I never miss a new article.

Included in these updates are the following.

  • Latest articles right when you login
    Stay up to date with all our latest articles written by our featured authors available to you right when you login to Gym Technik Online
  • Automatic copy from last time stats
    Don’t feel like inputting workout stats into your smartphone? We’ve now added a mobile setting where you can choose to have all the exercises in the workout you start auto-fill with the stats from the last time the exercise was completed. This is great to quickly load up a page, perform the exercise, and simply hit “next” as the stats are already filled in for you. We've even placed a “Clear” button that you can click on to clear out the pre-filled stats if you need to add in completely different stats. If you wish to enable this feature you can easily do so by clicking on the “Settings” button at the bottom of Gym Technik Mobile while logged in on your smartphone
  • View all the exercises to track on one page
    To date, Gym Technik Mobile only displayed exercises in sequence where you had to have one exercise open and click on “next” to get to the next one. We’ve now given you the option to simply load up the entire workout on one screen so all your exercises are loaded up on one page and you can easily scroll through each exercise and input stats. This is great for super-sets and circuit workouts. If you wish to enable this you can easily do so by clicking on the “Change View” button at the bottom of Gym Technik Mobile while logged in on your smartphone
  • Numerous Bug Fixes and optimization of speed
    We have optimized the way images load up to give you a faster experience on the mobile application. And to make it even faster, you can turn images off in your mobile settings.
  • All three image stills for each exercise
    This is great for beginners that need to view the entire motion of an exercise. Now when you view an instruction of an exercise, you will see all 3 image stills of the exercise showing you how to start the exercise and then taking you through the full motion to completion - all on your smartphone!
  • Maximum value in picklist goes as high as you push
    Quite a few of you had notified us that the maximum value of the weight input in the picklist wasn’t high enough at times. We’ve now made the highest value a “More” value so that you can click on “more” to get higher numbers. Alternatively, within your mobile settings you can change the entry input method to "Enter by typing value" to simply enter in whatever value you want
  • Numeric entry for BlackBerries
    Probably our most popular feature request by BlackBerry users! For those of you that have set your mobile data input settings to “Enter by typing in value”, the BlackBerry now will default to the input being numeric so you don’t have to hold the ‘alt’ key anymore
  • Remember me fixed
    Another big one that a lot of you reported to us – The “Remember Me” function on the Gym Technik Mobile login page now works. Sorry about this one...
