TJ The Trainer

TJ (Trainer Joe, Trainer Judy, Trainer Jack, Trainer Jen, you decide!) is a workout tracker built around one idea: working out is hard enough without fighting your fitness app too. No account to create. No pay wall to click through before your first workout. No settings screen to configure before you can use it. Open the app, choose to create a small set of pre-built exercises, routines and workouts or create your own. Tap a workout (or just tap Quick Start), and go. SIMPLE, FAST LOGGING Big buttons, big numbers, one tap to log a set. TJ remembers what you did last time — for this exact exercise, this exact set number — and starts your reps and weight prefilled with it, so most sets are a single tap to confirm and move on. BUILD YOUR OWN WORKOUTS Create Exercises (with instructions, an optional YouTube demo link, and your own rest time), group them into Routines, and bundle Routines and individual Exercises together into a Workout. Drag to reorder. Start any Workout, or skip the planning entirely with Quick Start. REST TIMER THAT ACTUALLY WORKS A rest timer starts automatically after every set and keeps counting down even if your phone locks — it'll beep and notify you the moment it's done, so you're never staring at your phone waiting. STRETCHES GET THEIR OWN TIMER Mark any exercise as a Stretch and TJ swaps the rest timer for a dedicated stretch timer that starts the instant you tap in — pause it, watch the demo video if there's one linked, and pick back up right where you left off. HOLD EXERCISES GET A STOPWATCH Planks and other timed holds get their own toggle. Tap Begin and a stopwatch starts counting up — tap Stop when you're done and that time becomes your set. If you've held it before, TJ beeps once the moment you pass your previous best, then keeps counting until you stop it, so you always know exactly where you stand. WALKING, JOGGING, AND RUNNING Track distance-based exercises with your phone's own motion sensors — no extra hardware. Steps, elapsed time, and distance are all captured automatically, and you can pause and resume mid-activity. YOUR MUSIC, AUTOMATICALLY Attach a playlist from your own Music library to a Workout and it starts playing — shuffled — the moment you start your session, and stops when you end it. Pause and resume it anytime without leaving TJ. YOUR HISTORY, ALWAYS THERE Every session you complete is saved with the exact sets, reps, weight, and time logged — tap into any past session to see exactly what you did. Forgot to log a set earlier today? Reopen today's session and keep adding to it. WATCH YOUR PROGRESS Pick any exercise and see a simple chart of how it's trending over time — top weight or reps lifted, longest hold, or distance covered, depending on the exercise. No dashboards to dig through, just pick an exercise and see where you stand. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS TJ has no backend and no account system — everything lives on your phone. Back up your entire workout library and history to a file anytime (Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, email — wherever you want), and TJ also quietly saves its own backup every time the app updates, just in case. MAKE IT YOURS Switch between a warm light theme and a navy dark theme with one tap, and pick between two Home Screen icons. Got an idea or found a bug? There's a feedback button built right in — it goes straight to a real person, not a form that disappears into a queue.
