SmartGym rolled out a sweeping update that replaces the old Monthly Summary with a flexible Workout Summary, letting users toggle between weekly and monthly views. The new interface also brings side‑by‑side comparisons for individual routines, giving a clearer view of how specific exercise groups evolve.

A headline feature adds custom heart‑rate zones, letting users set precise ranges that match their training style or medical conditions. The update explains that athletes and beginners have different thresholds, and that medications like beta blockers can skew standard calculations. By tailoring zones, the app delivers more accurate of your intensity metrics for every workout.

The Smart Trainer now treats exercises like built‑in ones, incorporating them into suggested workouts and adjusting routines over time. Users can also view secondary muscles for these moves, matching the analysis available for the app’s predefined library. The latest gallery adds dozens of new exercises, each annotated with primary and secondary muscles, equipment, steps, and animations.

SmartGym remains free to download but offers tiered subscriptions that unlock advanced analytics and personalized coaching. The new features position the app as a serious alternative to hardware‑centric trackers, allowing users to fine‑tune training intensity without additional devices. For anyone seeking granular, data‑driven tracking in your daily progress, the update delivers a comprehensive, software‑centric solution.
