A spreadsheet and a notebook have two real strengths: they cost nothing and you write the plan your way. GiFit keeps both, and adds what a sheet cannot do while you are under the bar.
| At the gym you need | Spreadsheet or notebook | GiFit |

| Last session's loads | Copied by hand | Already in the set |
| Rest between sets | A separate stopwatch | Starts when you close the set |
| When to add load | Your guess | The coach proposes it and says why |
| How to do the exercise | — | 271 exercises with video |
| Progress over time | If you build the chart | Charts and estimated 1RM |
| No connection | Yes | Yes |
| Account | None | None |
| Cost | Free | Free, no expiry; some features are Pro |
GiFit does not read spreadsheet files: you copy the plan once, exercise by exercise, searching the catalog in English. Or you generate one from muscles, goal and sessions, and adjust it. If you come from Hevy or Strong instead, your history imports: here is how.
The trainer sends the plan straight to your phone and sees how your workouts go, with no sheets going back and forth. You link up by scanning the gym's QR code.
Download GiFit, write the plan once, and from the next session the loads are already there. No account, and your data stays on your phone.
