New update brings all-in-one diary for workouts

New update brings all-in-one diary for workouts

The Gentler Streak Workout Tracker (App Store link) is a movement and fitness tracker with a special feature: health always comes first. The app gives recommendations for rest periods, breaks and workouts. The app for the Apple Watch shows the heart rate zones and the training effect during training in real time.

Using Gentler Streak is basically free, and all functions can be activated via a subscription. The monthly subscription costs 7.99 euros, and the annual subscription costs 27.49 euros. To install the app, you need 132 MB of free storage space and at least iOS 15.0 or newer. Last year, Gentler Streak even received Apple’s coveted “App of the Year” award in the Apple Watch category.

Gentler Streak has now received an update that upgrades the application to version 4.8. The biggest new feature in the update is a function that the development team says they have been “working towards since May”: an all-in-one workout diary. It is designed to help you record your own training sessions in more detail and add important information.

“When you add your side of the story to the workout summary – changing the workout title, adding thoughts with notes, inserting photos, adjusting conscious effort, and favorite special workouts – workout tracking becomes complete and a true reflection of your special fitness journey.”

This is what the Gentler Streak team reports in the App Store. Among other things, photos of the workout can now be imported into the summary, and there is also a revised card that fits seamlessly into the workout statistics underneath to give “your summary a distinctive look”.

Keeping a comprehensive workout diary can have several advantages, which the development team also lists in the changelog. This allows progress and patterns to be better documented and the activities gain meaning. In addition, important elements can be identified, such as which routes and strategies are most effective. A workout diary should also help you to overcome your inner laziness and stay on track.

The update to version 4.8, including the workout diary, is now available as a free download for all Gentler Streak users. Gentler Streak also receives very good reviews in the German App Store: the fitness and health app receives an average of 4.6 stars. The latest updates last winter also added 23 new workout types.
