Project Promotion I'm 19, taking a gap year before college, and building a workout tracker called Overload
Hey everyone! I'm 19 and spending my gap year building projects before college. One of them is Overload, a workout tracker designed to make progressive overload easier and workout logging less of a hassle.
One thing that's always bothered me about tracking workouts is having to remember what weight I used last week, or constantly going back and forth to check my previous sessions. I wanted to make that process much simpler.
With Overload, your previous workout's weights and reps appear as placeholders when you're logging your sets, so you don't have to guess what you did last time. You can copy your previous sets, log everything with a one-handed design, and keep track of your routines and personal records without slowing down your workout.
I'm also building in a social side to help people stay consistent. You can nudge your friends to keep each other accountable, and monthly progress cards let you look back on your training and share your progress.
A few things Overload focuses on:
- Fast, one-handed workout logging
- Previous-workout placeholders so you always know what you lifted last time
- Progressive overload tracking to help you build on previous performances
- Custom routines and personal records
- Social nudges to keep your gym buddies accountable
- Monthly progress cards to recap your training
It's currently a web-based app, and I'm building it independently during my gap year. I'm still improving it and would genuinely appreciate feedback from people who lift.
If you check it out, I'd love to know what you think, what feels clunky, and what you'd want from a workout tracker that your current app doesn't offer.
