As proof we are always listening to our members, we have upgraded to include new features you have requested while using Gym Technik to monitor your fitness progress to reach your goals.
This upgrade consists of some bug fixes, minor user interface enhancements, and some neat new features as well. And below is the run down:
Changes You Will Now See
- A cleaner layout for Gym Technik Mobile
Through a series of usability tests and your feedback, we have tweaked our layout to make new features more accessible. You will notice slight changes in the placement of certain buttons and easier access to change mobile preferences so you can now focus more on your workout while at the gym.
- Lots of additions to Gym Technik Online
We have updated GT Online with new features and moved a few things around so you can get to them faster. We've added the exercise library page so you can browse and customize your exercises separately, adjustable date ranges and new improvements to the body stats and exercise graphing modules.
- Circuit workouts
Till now, Gym Technik has allowed you to track regular workouts. Today, you will be able to build separate circuit workouts. These show up as individual rounds on your smartphone so you can track each exercise as you perform a circuit workout in sequence.
- Numerous bug fixes
We've been working hard at fixing all the bug reports that have come in since our last upgrade, including isolated incidents where the sorting of the exercises might be out of sequence when using GT Mobile. Thanks to our users for reporting them.
- Additional exercise types to track
A lot of you had asked us about tracking exercises like Planks or core exercises. Look in your custom exercise library to create your own exercises to track time (seconds) and timed strength (seconds and weight).
- BlackBerry Storm optimization
Since such a large number of our members are BlackBerry Storm owners, we spent quite a fair bit of time massaging the screen of Gym Technik Mobile for the BlackBerry Storm. The layout has been improved for Storm browsing and buttons highlight before you press-through on them. Keep your eyes open for a post later this week on a run down of using Gym Technik Mobile on the Storm by our Feature Author Jay Campbell of The Muscle Couple, who also uses GT to track his training.
- Printing tracking sheets
Don't own a smartphone? Now Gym Technik allows you to print out tracking sheets for your workouts, so you can take them to the gym. Track your workout using pen and paper, and come home and enter them directly into your calendar.
The Teaser - Changes you won't notice just yet, but soon to come!
- Premium Service - We've been talking about our premium service offering the last few months and we're getting extremely close to launching it. Watch out for the post on this major release soon to come!
- BlackBerry Application - This one is a fan favourite. This latest upgrade also contains some 'behind the scenes' pieces necessary for our BlackBerry app to sync with GT Online. We're almost there and when we launch the app, this is one post you are not going to want to miss!
As always, we owe this upgrade to all the constructive and positive feedback we have been receiving from all of our members. So as we start work on your next batch of requests, please do continue to reach out to our team with your ideas.
For the love of health and fitness -
Team Gym Technik
