Hi all. At Yummygum we're big workout fanatics and it felt like there wasn’t a beautiful and good workout app available. That’s why we decided to create one. For about a year we’ve worked on Ignite, and we’re super happy and excited about its availability in the App Store. The coolest thing about this project is that everyone who’s been on the Yummygum team in the past year (either employee or intern) has worked on this. A true team effort we’re extremely proud of. If you guys have any suggestions on how to make it better, we'd love to know

@leonephraim I'm sure you did quite the competitor analysis - since this space is so crowded, could you tell us how Ignite differs from the other workout trackers out there?

@j_nce Hi Jince, I'm glad you asked. To be honest, and by no means do I mean this in a condescending way; we believe the other workout tracker apps that are out there are doing it wrong in at least the following aspects. 1) They emphasize too much on a philosophy where they force you to work out in a certain way. This often results in overly complex apps that don’t easily allow you to either create your own workout or choose a predefined workout. 2) Not pushing it User Experience & User Interface wise. Most workout tracking apps are basically notebooks/pen&pads on your smartphone. Which is nuts if you think about it. There is so much potential for a workout tracking app on a device like an iPhone. It's the perfect opportunity to allow people to focus on what the app is for (creating & logging workouts and getting insights in your progress), rather than being a pen&pad. We've created Ignite keeping in mind to do better. I'd love for you to give it a spin and experience it yourself 💪

@leonephraim @j_nce I'll agree with this. I've downloaded and used most of what is in the App Store that looks half decent. There was definitely not anything that looks like this available. Looking forward to putting this through a test to see how it stacks up feature-wise. Congrats on the launch.

Awesome product! The app looks really great. Any plan on implementing some kind of filters for filtering workouts/exercices with the equipment we have access to (body-weight, kettlebell, etc..)?

@f_lehoux Thank you François, as far as your question goes; we do indeed have plans to quickly filter/search for relevant exercises/equipment!

I have used so many apps and have given up because they all take way too long to use during a workout. On Android though. Any idea of release?

@mywoisme We don't have any concrete plans for an Android app at this very moment Wo, but that definitely doesn't mean we dismiss the idea all together.

I was really hoping this was the workout tracker I was looking for, but after trying it out I don't think that it is. The app looks very nice, but what I want to be able to do is easily track and graph my results. Here is an example, I was trying to enter my current one rep maxes into the app, but it seems that all tracking is based on the notion of a workout. So if I just want to enter my current 1 RM squat I have to first create a workout named 1 RM squat then add the squat exercise to that workout. I think the data model could use a bit of work in regards to this. Maybe you could just include individual exercises by themselves in the list of workouts. It is incredibly tedious if I need to make a new workout for every single type of exercise I want to track. I was also struggling to even create a new workout. I would search for the exercise then I was pressing the > arrow on the right hand side of the screen instead of pressing the radio button on the left. I also didn't see the banner across the bottom to "add selections to workout". Took me way too long to figure that out and it needs some work to reduce the friction. The whole app feels very cumbersome to me. I also noticed some UI lag while searching for exercises. Sorry to be so critical, but this is real feedback after using the app.

@marcusmccurdy thanks for your input Marcus, we'd love to hear your feedback through another channel, like our Support section (it's under 'settings')

@leonephraim @marcusmccurdy I want to piggyback on this comment to give you my own usecase. Currently I use http://www.strengthstandards.co/#/ to generate my workouts (based on my 1RM) and it provides me with a seven week program. Ideally I would want a something that could track these workouts (and automatically recalculate my lifting goals based on actual results), or be able to generate my 1RM as per Marcus's comment above.

@ausonio @leonephraim wow strengthstandards.co is a great resource and it has extremely accurate 1 RM calculations from what I just tested.

I do really enjoy how easy it is to make a new workout. I'm going to try using this over JeFIT. I'm curious though... Can you add new exercises on the fly?

@catherinetcai Thank you! By adding exercises on the fly, do you mean as you're working out? That is not possible (at this point) as it would distort stats for a workout. Eg. if you suddenly add a couple of exercises the stats (based of off your last workout that didn't have the extra exercises) won't be very useful. If you mean to ask if it's possible to add workouts while you're composing it, that is indeed possible :)!

Hi @leonephraim Can i connect a suunto watch so it fetches the activity information? (Heartrate, pace, location, whatever) and can I share my whole activity privately with a trainer or whomever I choose?

@elenabrz Hi Elena, thanks for your question. Unfortunately Ignite doesn't currently sync any information to smart watches.

I feel this. I like to work out in my own specific way, not according to a program or system. One day it's running, next day body weight, next day boxing, next day handstands (...well attempted handstands). I've often thought an app that stripped out 99% of the features of most apps and just allowed for simple, personal workout creation and tracking would be the solution. Excited to try this out!

@stephentracy Thank you so much Stephen. Your second sentence is exactly how we felt we started creating Ignite. Oh, and don't stop trying to master those handstands 😉!
