The Workout Tracker for Gym Buddies

Training with a gym buddy is better, until the tracking gets messy

You and your training partner show up, warm up, and then spend the first few minutes arguing about what you both did last week. One of you tracks sets in a notes app, the other remembers it wrong, and nobody actually knows who is progressing faster. The shared part of training (pushing each other, matching numbers, racing to add weight) gets lost because there is no shared source of truth.

Trackist fixes that by putting you and your gym buddy on the exact same plan while keeping your logs separate. You see the same workout, the same exercises, and the same target sets. After the session you can each check your own numbers and see who hit what.

How Trackist solves it for gym buddies

When you train together, the plan should be shared but the progress should be personal. Trackist is built around that idea. One person builds the workout plan, turns on invites, and hands over an invite code. Your buddy joins in seconds and follows the same structure, but every set, rep, and weight they log belongs to them.

During the workout you log sets, reps, weight, rest time, and RPE, with notes on any exercise. When you hit your target for a set, you get instant visual feedback, so the competition stays live while you are still under the bar. No more guessing whether you beat last week.

The features that matter most when you train with a partner

• Shared plans with individual logs. Same plan, separate progress. You both follow it, neither of you overwrites the other.
• Set-by-set logging with RPE. Track effort, not just numbers, so you can compare how hard a lift actually felt.
• Community leaderboard. Published plans are ranked by how many athletes save and use them, so a plan you and your buddy build can climb as more people pick it up.
• Body weight and measurement trends. Watch your weight and key measurements move on a clean chart over weeks and months.

How it works in 3 steps

1. Build one plan. Set up your split, exercises, and target sets in Trackist.
2. Invite your buddy. Turn on invites and share the code. They join and follow the same plan.
3. Train and compare. Log your sets each session, get instant feedback when you hit a target, and check who progressed when you are done.

Make it a little competitive

The friendly rivalry is the point. Because you both run the same plan, the numbers line up cleanly, so a 5 pound jump on bench is easy to spot and easy to chase. Publish your plan and watch where it lands on the community leaderboard as other lifters adopt it.
