Hey guys, my name is Mo. I'm the creator of EzLift Pro. I have been a nerd, software engineer (Mostly Full-Stack) and a bodybuilder/powerlifter for over 15 years now. Long story short: I got bullied in school, so I wanted to get strong af.
I worked in many companies in my career and one of the most consistent thing that always caught my eye is how bad the diet and health of most people are - especially engineers. This made me start a science based fitness YouTube channel to try to spread a more scientific and engineer approachable information about nutrition and training.
Many people were asking me how do I track my workouts. So, I decided to build this app because I tried almost all the popular tracking apps and they all try to target everyone, from beginner to advanced and the app becomes way too bloated.
And because of the boom in popularity of resistance training these days, I was like why not make an app for people who know they are doing in the gym, not complete beginners.
One of the features I'm happy about is scanning your hand-written workouts and workout logs if you use a notebook - although it also works if you scan a picture on your laptop. Then you can track the workout or just add them to your tracked workouts and run some stats on them
I'm using ChatGPT in the backend to scan the image and gets me a list of exercises, then I run that through a small full text search on my database to get a list of ranked matches, it's not 100% perfect, more like 70-80% depending on how difficult the exercise name is.
But if any of you have any ideas on how to make this better, please let me know, would love to have some feedback on that.
It’s available only for iOS for now - I'm not an elitist I swear, just had to start somewhere - I'm just one guy.
I'm using React Native, so adding in Android should be relatively easy.
It’s free for your first 5 tracked workouts. I’d love for you to try it and share any feedback.
PS: If you’re new to lifting and want to start, let me know. I’d be happy to send you a beginner-friendly program to get started!
