Tested. Trusted. Transformed.
For over 23 years, GymAware has been the trusted choice of researchers and athletes. While the market now offers many options at different price points, GymAware remains the most independently validated and preferred tool among scientists, researchers, and coaches. What sets us apart is our proven technology paired with user-friendly features that make it easy and enjoyable to use.
VBT (Velocity-Based Training) started in research labs, was brought to professional sports by GymAware, and is now making its way into high schools, gyms, and personal training.
As we innovate, a major focus has been upgrading our Cloud software and adding Smart Coaching features to both the app and Cloud. Coaches often manage up to 100 athletes and can’t monitor every rep. This is where VBT excels, giving athletes real-time feedback. But we wanted to go further. Coaches need a simpler way to program and track progress without bouncing between apps. We saw the need to unify tools into one powerful platform. That’s what GymAware 2.0 delivers.
Our first move was building a workout builder that lets coaches customize programs fully. Then we added the Predictive 1RM protocol. This feature is already in the free FLEX Stronger app (iOS and Android) and is now fully integrated into GymAware to help manage team performance and load more effectively.
In short, the latest GymAware App and Cloud updates include:
- Workout Builder: Program exercises, target velocities, sets, and reps in one place so athletes can follow along without switching tools.
- Exercise Customization: Create your own VBT exercises to match your training needs.
- Predictive 1RM Protocol: Access it in the app with advanced reporting and visuals in the Cloud.
