wger is a fitness and nutrition management application that brings workout planning, food logging and progress tracking together in a single interface. It can be used through the project’s hosted service or run on a privately managed server.
The software is designed for people who want to organise their training and monitor changes over time. Rather than concentrating exclusively on exercise routines, it connects physical activity with nutritional intake and body measurements.
wger provides a substantial exercise catalogue and food database, giving users a starting point for building individual plans. It also supports multiple users and offers a REST API for integrating fitness information with other applications.
This is free and open source software.
