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!
