Thanks for doing this! I recently was looking at enhancing workout.lol and noticed that but was wondering what happened. I have some enhancements and think still an open PR on the original repo I will port over.
I’d love to see your ideas make it into Workout.cool!!
Let me know if you need help porting the PRs îll support and merge contributions quickly.
One note: if you're using the same video set as workout.lol, the one that loaded for me (male_dumbbell_hammer_curl_front_ani.mp4) could be compressed from 3.3mb to <300kb with little quality loss.
Love it! Would be cool to be able to optionally select muscle groups first, i.e. before selecting equipment. Also, seeing all available exercises for a muscle group rather than the pre-defined 3 would help tailor the experience more.
Bcs a lot of beginners don’t know what to do with certain equipment, but they do know what they want to train.
That said, I’ll maybe make both paths easier and let users toggle between them!
PR ares welcome
Wow! You're a legend! Thank you!
wow, its great tool has muscle selection is so much more help full than 80+% apps on app store right now
This looks great. Yours isn't loading for me, but workout.lol looks like it'd provide the perfect level of instruction. (I'd skip the exercises/sets screen and DIY, but picking muscles and getting ideas/examples is helpful.)

I’m only embedding YouTube videos now, all with permission or public use from the original author.
If you’re into 3D or want to help create open assets, I’d love to chat!
I sold the app to a guy who seemed to just abandoned it. I also texted him multiple times if he needs support, but he didn't answer anymore. It makes me really happy to see it being maintained again!
Great work on the UI improvements.
It does not appear to be working for me right now, I get "error loading exercises". What are your thoughts about the wger project [0]? It is a FLOSS AGPL-licensed self-hosted fitness/workout/nutrition manager that has existed for almost a decade (I think?) It's a django app and has a companion flutter app that runs on android/ios/windows/linux/macos. It supports multiple users and could even be used to run a gym. Bod…
I got the same error.
Traffic spiked and my backend rate limits kicked in too hard.
Thanks so much for trying it out
I don't get the pick the muscles thing almost as much as I get the open source fitness thing.
Personally, as someone that exercises but not for aesthetics, I think of strength training in terms of movements not muscles worked. So I'm thinking "press, pull, squat, hinge" not "chest, lats, glutes". Thinking of function and then doing fundamental compound movements just makes more sense to me, although I do sometimes need to hone in on a muscle for functional reasons -- like targeting the glute medius for opening up my kicks in my Muay Thai training.
Neither is more correct, they're just different approaches.
