GYMThe Best Gym App in the UK for 2026
There are hundreds of fitness apps. Most do one thing well and leave you juggling three more. Here is an honest look at what actually makes a gym app worth keeping, and where GYM fits.
What to look for in a gym app
- A workout log you will actually use. Fast to log, handles supersets and drop sets, and keeps your full history and personal records in one place.
- Cardio that works outdoors. Real GPS tracking for running, walking and cycling, not just a treadmill timer.
- Coaching, not just charts. Numbers are easy. Knowing what to do next is the hard part.
- A reason to come back. The best app is the one you open daily. Friends, challenges and a bit of fun beat willpower.
How GYM measures up
GYM: Getting You Moving was built by William Awere, a London personal trainer with twenty years on the gym floor. It replaces your workout log, run tracker, step counter and fitness games with one app.
- Trainer-built workout log with supersets, drop sets, rest timers and full history.
- GPS tracking for running, walking and cycling, with detailed post-run analysis.
- AI coaching through Gym Genie, plus personalised cardio plans.
- Camera games you play with your body, solo or against friends.
- Squad battles and a shared Wall to keep you accountable.
Made for the UK, useful anywhere
GYM works wherever you train. If you are in London you get extra touches like the King and Queen of the Road routes and a local trainer pool, but the workout log, cardio tracking and games are the same for everyone, anywhere.

Common questions
Is there a free gym app worth using?
Yes. GYM gives you a 7-day free trial with no card needed, so you can try the full workout log, GPS tracking and games before deciding. After that it is GBP 1.99 a month or GBP 20 a year, with cancel anytime.
Does GYM work on Android and iPhone?
Yes. GYM is on the App Store for iPhone and available as a direct Android download from the website.
Do I need gym equipment or a watch?
No. Most features run on your phone alone, including step counting, route tracking, the workout log and the games. A smartwatch unlocks live heart-rate extras but is optional.
