I developed(improved) gym tracking/logging system vault

Hi everyone!

I was having trouble of making gym tracker by using other people’s vault templates. but i see potential of https://github.com/martinjo/obsidian-gym-log system and i wanted to improve it and make the flow feels like some mainstream gym tracker mobile apps. I was able to quickly improved the gym log by leveraging AI to streamline some javascript understanding and logic. Hopefully, it does not have security flaws (huft)

so here is the improved version (forked and created new repo): https://github.com/Ni-zav/obsidian-gym. I improved some parts by:

  • Adding meta-bind button plugin
  • Streamline creating new exercises and workout routines
  • improved chart visualization
  • Added simple rest timer

it still has some bugs and I am going to add some demos, so it will have fixes later on.

Much credits to the thread here to motivated me improving the gym log vault.

Feel free to give critics or recommendations on what to do next! :smiley:

Looks really interesting @Ni-zav
Do you have a few screenshots how it looks “in action”/live?
I am looking for something very similar like your solution.
The point where it always got difficult for me was to decide on how to deal with the exercise logging, i.e. one note per exercise vs. one note per set. The first option didn’t seem fitting to me, when you do a drop set or reverse pyramid. Then again I was struggling to figure out how to make an overview of the workout of that day and how to show the progress per exercise.

With the introduction of bases I was contemplating to use bases to use more standard plugins in order to save ressources. The button and quick-add command plugin seemed to slow my phone down a bit.

Long story short. Some impressions of your solution would be much appreciated.

Very interested in a bases solution if you come up with one!

Hi, this has great potential. I’m kicking off a new workout and will give it a try. I’ve cloned your repo to prepare a minor PR. @Ni-zav, are you still using this setup?

Bases are quite new to me, definitely much more powerful logging system usage.

I would be looking on this on the spare time on the end year holiday, maybe expand it with bases too

I’ll be providing with some video tutorials on the how-to later on too, (I use mobile mostly for the gym tracking)

Hi This looks really cool! Am keen to use it but nothing seems to work when i click it. e.g cannot add new exercise. Is this still a work in progress or am i doing something wrong!

Hi! yes it is still on progress, and I was pausing on for some weeks, maybe around 2 weeks and i’ll update the correct version and release it. thank you for noticing!

Looking forward to giving it a whirl - it looks like it’s going to solve the majority of my issues with logging my workouts.
