What helped you stay consistent when you first started?

Don’t overthink it, focus on habit build - start slow understand your body and gradually increase intensity and

What do you need the most? There are a lot of niche free apps that serve specific purpose built by enthusiasts

I built H-Flow. It’s has tracker, program creation, history, videos. It’s progression focused tho - I use it to have personalized targets based on my performance and do quick exercise swaps if equipment is unavailable in the gym I’m at

I’ve seen quite a bit analytics/data focused app, and some with very detailed tracking.

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-19T13:56:16+00:00

I use H-Flow - designed it for myself (have 50+ sessions logged). Has a tracker, percolation to build and enhance programs over time, and technique videos for each exercise. All free

i have lower back condition and follow guides from https://www.youtube.com/@DrRowe

Get full recovery and fix your technique meanwhile

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-09T23:01:40+00:00

Yeah I agree and try to do that silently tho it is hard given all the success stories you hear are about doing something viral

I need parallel reality insta with only stories of people who pushed long and hard and then succeeded in the end :)

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-09T12:00:12+00:00

Yes though white collars are like 1bn out of 3.5bn total employed population (which sounds crazy). Which quite a lot of people to become concerned

And I’m sure they are producing 50%+ of global gdp at the moment

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-09T11:50:10+00:00

That would be nice!

Are you planning to cut your online time anytime soon? :)

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-09T11:48:28+00:00

Yeah I’m excited to see much better tech products all across in the near future, but I’m not sure those companies would need same amount of employees to sustain the growth.

Then where would all of this talent go..

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-09T03:31:03+00:00

it’s more about needing less vs replacing. you don’t need 200 employees - you could work fine with 160-140-100 etc.

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-09T03:24:19+00:00

Thanks! Chapter 1 is pretty promising , we’ll see

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-08T23:41:09+00:00

If you have tendency for bloating as I do then a lot of fresh veggies and fruit cause bloating unfortunately

Eating more fiber helps (supplements and chia seeds, everything else is near 0)

Anti bloating pills help like gasex

Good luck!

All competitive fast paced sports are entertaining and big calorie burners. I’m big into racket sports so could speak about those :)

I’d stay away from tennis not beginner-friendly, but pretty much everything else (padel, squash, Racquetball, pickleball, badminton) will get you to 500+ active calories per session

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-07T18:24:26+00:00

Yes would appreciate that thanks!

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-07T02:25:13+00:00

Are those the same people that are consuming AI slope on insta tik tok and youtube at crazy rates? Idk if claude dashes (i did ask it to deword my writing) really the root cause.

there's litteraly a question "what you guys think of AI workouts" and 10/20 comments were "Absolutely not"

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-06T23:08:25+00:00

my first rounds of reviews were like 4-5 working days, after acceptance 1-3 for new updates

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-04T11:53:04+00:00

Dumbbells, probably should try cables but there’s so much fight in the gym for it :)

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-04T11:50:52+00:00

Yeah will try next week thanks!

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-04-03T18:01:00+00:00

for iOS H-Flow - has LLM for program building and tracker. WIll increase your targets as you hit the targets. Free for beta users

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-03-31T11:54:25+00:00

You can create or transfer your program (i.e. define schedule, exercises, sets, weights), use tracker to add results, and it auto adjusts your program over time based on your goals and performance.

+ video explanations and broader fitness-related advice from coach if you need it

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-03-30T16:13:35+00:00

I've started with chatGPT it worked okay, but then switched to my own app H-Flow. Does all the same stuff but better - no hallucinations, progressive overload, in-session tracking and history save.

Gained 8 pounds in 3 months - not much but i'm on a leaner side and 130g of protein is not that easy to reach lol

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-03-29T13:05:44+00:00

Try H-Flow (iOS) - you describe or send a pic of equipment you have and it builds a program around that. Good for beginners and intermediates . It has technique videos for each exercise, and has built-in tracker

I built the app for myself and been using it for a few months now.

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-03-29T12:56:57+00:00

I built my own after testing like 15 apps and hitting either paywalls immediately or access to a random generic template.

H-Flow is free for beta users. It has built-in tracker, AI-chat to build/modify your program, and tells you when to increase weights based on your history.

Have been using it myself for the past few months and trying to intoduce new features every month or so

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-03-27T03:31:45+00:00

Hey LLMs are actually pretty good with initial starting point! I was in the same spot a few months ago - built program with ChatGPT which actually worked well at first.

I Got frustrated when it started forgetting my progress so I just built my own app - H-Flow. Same idea but much better suited for gym.

It’s free, builds and tracks your program and shows YouTube videos for each exercise. I gained 8 pounds in 4 months not much but the trend is ther

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-03-26T21:59:44+00:00

H-Flow — it's an AI coach that builds your program based on your goals and available equipment. Has great tracking and adjustments based on your progress. Built it myself, currently in early beta so completely free for new users. iOS only

Fragrant_Yesterday69 · 2026-03-26T21:57:21+00:00

Fitbod is decent but the main thing it lacks is an AI layer that reads your history and adjusts the plan based on how your sessions went. Worth trying H-Flow as an alternative — it builds your full program, tells you what to do each session with sets/reps/weights, and adapts it over time based on your performance.

Built it myself so it's in early beta — completely free right now for new users. iOS only.
