I'm using Boostcamp at the moment: free version, not open source, and its bothering the hell out of me. Limited. Bloated. Paywalls. I love the detailed programs and routines, and have not found a similar replacement. Any recommendations that include:

Routine creating

Custom exercises

Access to existing database of workouts (most important).

Have you considered maybe purchasing the app? It would fix at least one of your issues.

I'm not a shill, I just remember the guy pitching the app on reddit, and it seemed like a super small team trying to compete with massive companies.

Thanks for the suggestions and info everyone. I have some testing to do!

Yo, I had made a comment about 2 years ago about it! I use fastnfitness and I have shared my workouts there:)

If you mean weightlifting, liflog is really the best that there is right now. Beautiful interface, simple, database of exercises to add (though it is isn't as good as something like Progression, which isn't open source).

Programs for weightlifting are pretty simple and Jeff Nippard has great program overviews for different goals and availability, and tons of other fitness youtubers also.

If you mean something that is more bodyweight/calisthenics with video/animated explanations then I don't know of one.

I use flexify since a couple of weeks.

Database does not matter too much as long as you can add.

There are no new exercises every week.

Push will always be bench press or incline bench press. It's always squats or good mornings. Etc.

It may be more work in the first two weeks but after that it's ok

If you don't know what you do, read thefitness.wiki

I've researched this heavily during the last year, and it's freaking annoying.

wger was the one, I've used the longest. It should fulfill all your needs. Cons: It's bloated with other options, I personally never had a use for.

Tried way too long to selfhost it with Docker and Traefik, save yourself the headache and don't even try. The docker system is wonky af.
