gymbuddy.team was born out of the desire to offer a reliable, modern, and actively maintained workout platform, after the original project workout.lol was abandoned.
gymbuddy.team is the result of a community-driven adventure.
I was the first open source contributor to the workout.lol project.
This means I saw the project come to life, grow, then get sold and ultimately abandoned by its new owner.
Like many users, I felt a deep frustration and a sense of abandonment watching a tool I had contributed so much to disappear, with feature requests left unanswered and growing old.
For months, I tried to contact the new owner—never receiving a single reply despite many attempts (about 15).
Faced with this silence and the distress of the community, I decided to take matters into my own hands:
Rather than let all this work vanish, I relaunched an even more ambitious, modern, and open project for everyone.
This project is not driven by profit, but by passion and a desire to serve the open source fitness community.
Someone had to save the community—I decided to be that someone!
gymbuddy.team is open source, ensuring transparency, modularity, and scalability.
Everyone is welcome to contribute—code, documentation, or ideas!
