Training

Create your own workouts

While some apps may only let you follow fitness programs, most apps will let you create your own workouts.

Create your own programs

Fitness apps usually offers programs to follow. While they might let you create your own workouts they will usually not let you organize them very well through weeks and months of programming.

Advanced program structures

Most apps letting you create your own workouts will add them all to a simple and nearly endless list of workouts.
Flex Quest will let you organize them through macro, meso & micro cycles.

Offers pre-made programs

Not all fitness apps offer premade programs, but most usually do.
While it’s on the road map, Flex Quest currently does not offer such programs, you will need to create your own (or integrate programs from other sources into Flex Quest).

Track basic training attributes

Tracking repetitions and weight lifted is the basic of all fitness apps.

Track advanced training attributes

Some apps will let you track resting times, tempo and maybe RPE/RIR, but that usually stops there.

What if you want to make a difference between warm up sets, working sets, top sets and even AMRAP sets? Or remember the angle of the bench? The height of the seat when you used that machine you like?

Flex Quest gives you options.

Easy progressive evolution setup

Apps that let you create you own workouts will add them to an unique list of workouts, which means you will need to scroll through all of them, and within them to edit the values you need. Setting up a coeherent progressive evolution through weeks of programming is both difficult and time-consuming.

Flex Quest lets you see an exercise through many weeks & months on a same page where you can edit values and check graphs, allowing you to easily setup a coherent progressive evolution for a specific exercise.

Exercises

Large amount of exercises

Fitness apps usually propose few hundreds exercises, it’s great, but what if you don’t find the exercise YOU actually do?

Flex Quest has more than a thousand exercises, and the list keeps growing.

Add your own exercises

Did you ever get annoyed you couldn’t track several exercises in your fitness app? So you ended up abandonning it? Well, that’s what often ends up happening with most fitness app as you realize you can’t track significant parts of your workouts over time…

Flex Quest allows you to add your own custom exercises, so you will never have that issue.

Manage exercise favorites

Flex Quest lets you bookmark exercises as favorites, but you can also create your own custom lists and add exercises to them.

You can have lists of exercises for some specific body parts, or for a different gym you go to sometimes, or for what you can do at home.

You don’t find that in regular fitness apps…

Advanced exercise metadata

Most apps usually let you find exercises based on the muscles you want to workout, and while that’s a common approach, it’s not the only one.

Flex Quest gives you the possibility to search exercises based on many other criteria like the equipment used (machines, benches, freeweights like barbell/dumbbell/kettlebell, and other equipments like bands/balls/chains/ropes and much more).

You can also define all those criteria when adding your own exercises.

Measurements

Add and track body measurements

Keeping track of your body weight, body fat and few other related body measurements is common in fitness apps. Some don’t, but many do.

Track muscle circumferences

Flex Quest lets you track circumferences of all your muscles and plot the values into graphs. From your neck to your calves!

That’s not something you see everywhere.

Nutrition

Track what you eat

Some fitness apps lets you keep track of what you eat, some don’t, so it’s a draw for us here.

Flex Quest currently does not offer such option. We think there are enough great nutrition apps out there for you to help reach your goals, and that’s not a wheel we need to reinvent.

But connecting Flex Quest with main nutrition apps would be great, and therefore is on our road map!

General

Offline mode

Ever worked out in a basement? Tried to setup your next workout from an underground train or a plane?

Oflline mode can be very handy, but most apps require a permanent internet connection. Flex Quest allows you to workout offline.

Just make sure to get connectivity back before signing out or using the app from another device or you could lose some precious data.

Multi-platform application

Prepare your workouts ahead of time, checking graphs from the comfort of a larger screen. Then track & adjust the values with your phone while working out.

Many apps only offer mobile support, but many others also provide desktop support so it’s a draw for us.

But worry not, you can use Flex Quest from desktops, tablets and phones.
