What is wger?

wger is a free workout and fitness manager. It lets you build custom workout routines with automatic weight progression rules, track diet plans, body weight and custom measurements, and log nutrition using a food database from Open Food Facts.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.
