Simple Fitness & Workouts is a privacy-first fitness and workout app for Android. Log your workouts, follow your daily activity, and watch your progress — with your data staying on your device. No ads, no data selling, no account required.
What Simple Fitness & Workouts does
- Log workouts, manual or auto-detected
- Follow daily activity and step count from your phone's built-in sensor
- Optional pro stats: heart-rate zones and recovery (with a compatible sensor)
- All data stored on-device — no ads, no analytics, no account
A fitness app that respects your privacy
Most fitness apps upload your workouts, show ads, or force an account. Simple Fitness & Workouts keeps everything on your phone — your exercise history, activity, and health data never leave your device. It's the private fitness and workout app we wanted to use ourselves.
Installation & Permissions FAQ
Why does the app ask for location access?
Android ties continuous background access to your phone's step-counter sensor to the location permission — an Android platform requirement, not our choice. The app does not collect, store, or transmit your location. Your fitness data stays on your device.
What happens if I deny the permission?
The app still logs workouts and counts steps while it's open, but Android blocks background step counting without it — so your activity totals won't update when the app isn't on screen.
How do I fix step counting that isn't working?
Go to your phone's Settings → Apps → Simple Fitness & Workouts → Permissions, and set Location to "Allow all the time."
