I've been training for 6+ years, and the one thing I've always struggled with isn't the training. It's tracking it. What did I lift last week? How many reps? Am I actually getting stronger, or am I just showing up? I tried spreadsheets. On a laptop they're fine. On my phone, between sets, they just weren't for me. All I wanted was to walk into the gym, think as little as possible, get a good lift in, and know I'm making progress. So I started building something for myself. At first it wasn't even Kongo. It was just an app to keep track of my lifts. Then I started thinking about what would happen if I added some game and RPG elements to it, something that makes you want to come back. That's how Kongo was born. What I focused on: • Logging a workout fast, without having to think about it • Your weights from last session already filled in, so you just lift • A rest timer on your lock screen and in the app so you actually rest enough, plus a notification when it's time for the next set • Workout history and progress charts, so you can actually see yourself improving • Streaks to keep you showing up • Stickers (achievements) you collect along the way, because DOPAMINE • Home screen widgets, because I really enjoyed those from Duolingo It's still a work in progress, which is why I'm posting. I'm looking for: → Testers who want to try it early and tell me honestly what works and what doesn't → People to join the waitlist for launch day It's coming to iOS and Android. The waitlist is at kongofit.com. If you want to test it, drop a comment or send me a DM.   submitted by   /u/Aeliner [link]   [comments]
