Gym PocketGuide 2.3.0.0
As simple as some exercises may seem, performing them incorrectly may have a very bad influence over your body, so it's always recommended to consult a trainer before starting to lift weights on your own.
Gym PocketGuide is the closest thing to an instructor you can come across and you can have it installed onto your Windows Phone to benefit from the professional advices it has to offer.
Cool looks and a neatly designed layout
The clean interface treats all the contained information in an orderly fashion, so each set of exercises is well organized and easy to reach from the main screen.
The explanations are accompanied by illustrative images and relevant videos, even though the quality of the clips could be a lot better. Fortunately, moving around through the list of exercises or inside any menu of the app is seamless, without lags or glitches, so the experience is a quite pleasant one.
Detailed explanations and in-depth guides
The programs, workouts and stretches included in Gym PocketGuide are detailed and structured in a professional manner. Thus, for each day of any program you have a list of exercises, complete with the number of sets and repetitions.
The Guide section explains in great detail every step and comes with useful suggestions to make your workout a bit easier and to help you avoid unnecessary muscle strain or other accidents.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The simple and clean GUI of Gym PocketGuide is very pleasant to look at and the smooth navigation through all the sections of the app makes it worth while. There are some hindrances in the lower part of the screen, a prompt to unlock a rest timer and another one to access the trial version, but this one can be closed every time it appears. |
Function9
The app is very well provided in terms of informational content and tackles every part of the body for workouts and stretches, while offering a good deal of exercises for fat loss and body building. |
Security10
The app doesn't come even close to any of the sensitive areas of your phone, so all the personal data remains untouched at all times and the utility scores big in this respect. |
Battery8
As long as it is used normally, without loading one video after another, Gym PocketGuide will prove quite efficient in utilizing the battery power. |
Price8
The basic features are sufficient for anyone to start and go through a complete program of exercises, benefiting free of cost of precious advice and guidance. Those who want to make their own programs and enjoy many other extra features will have to purchase the Pro version. |
Compatibility9
With a minimal set of requirements and able to function seamlessly on Windows Phone 7.5 or higher devices, this app earns a few extra points here as well. |
