Fitness Tools

With DIYWorkout.com you get access to build a custom profile, add custom goals and exercises, develop a workout routine, log workouts, generate detailed progress reports and enter periodic checkups.  These tools and reports can then be used to evaluate and adjust your workouts as needed.

DIYWorkout Mobile enables you to log workouts right at the fitness club and then upload them to your website whenever you like.  These programs are available for a nominal fee at Handango.com. 

Workout Log

Most of the power in the Fitness Tools section derives from the Workout Log.  In it, the member is able to quickly and easily store their workout data.  Since day-to-day workouts generally change very little, a copy feature allows the user to select from their last ten workouts, copy it for their current workout, and then make any necessary changes.

The Reporting section described below depends heavily on members regularly using the Workout Log to store their daily exercises.  With this information, you can quickly evaluate a members progress and make fitness routine changes. 

Checkup

The Checkup page allows the member to store point-in-time physical data such as weight, measurements and body fat.  Once this information is recorded, the members BMI and approximate body fat (based on taping calculation) are displayed.

This page should be used periodically to record the physical progress a member is making through their efforts.   The Reporting section draws on this data for some member reports.

Reporting

The Reporting page provides the member detailed information on the progress that the he or she is making.  Reports are broken down by exercises, muscle groups, individual exercises, training split, etc.  By viewing these reports, the member can quickly see which exercises are achieving gains and where plateaus are forming.

The Reporting section uses much of the information gathered in the Workout Log and Checkup pages to build its reports.

Member Info

The Member Info page allows the member to store login and password information as well as customize the system to their preferences.  From this page, they can set the interval in which they want to be prompted for new checkups and, optionally, enter new (non standard) exercises and set goals for the future.

The Member Info page must be completed when a member logs in for the first time.

Routine Wizard

The Routine Wizard selection enables the member to design a basic workout routine around their needs.  The wizard walk the member through a series of questions about their goals and limitations and then generates a workout based on on their needs and selected exercises.

When the process is complete the member may print out the workout to use as a guide at the gym.
