I'm a bit new(ish) to working out and utilized a personal trainer to get me started over the last few weeks. I can't afford to continue using a trainer and was wondering if there was an app out there that helps you build a routine? I looked at Apple Fitness and I don't want videos, just something that can help build a routine such as - 3 sets 12 crunches, 3 sets of 8 standing overhead dumbbell presses, etc. Ideally it would just list out the exercise, number of reps/sets, etc. as a checklist that you can mark as complete as you go. Most apps I have come across are only videos. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if there is an IOS app for it but I use bodbot. It will give you a workout based on what you are wanting out of it. So if you are wanting to build muscle mass it'll organize routines based off that goal. I will say though that it's been a long while since I've utilized the free version. I paid for lifetime access some years back. Certain features were behind a pay wall that I wanted access too and I justified paying the rather hefty one time fee for it. You may not need those features so it may not be a big deal to you. Here check out their workout generator and see if this is what you are wanting.
