- Version 2.5 added 34 new stretching exercises... a good place to start if you want some ideas for stretching.
- Version 2.6 added the ability to change the log date in order to enter previous workouts
- Version 2.7 added the ability to create free form workouts on the fly. Thus, if you are wandering around the gym, you can create your workout while you are at each station. This feature was requested by users on the iStayFitClub forums and the developers responded quickly to the request. I can vouch, free form workout, leveraging the ability to search across all exercises from one list works well. The only issue I had was that the onscreen keyboard used for searching sometimes obscured the bottom search result and I could not find a way to dismiss the keyboard.
- Version 3.0 saw the addition of a scheduling function. Allowing you to setup a workout schedule. The scheduling function is full featured, allowing up to 2 schedules per day, thus you can separate out your cardio and weight workouts. Setting up a workout schedule is straightforward, see this link for more information.
The addition of free form workouts and scheduling are two big items that add to iStayFit's usefulness.
Interestingly iFitness ($1.99) seems to be the big seller, as it is usually in the top 5 in the Healthcare & Fitness category, I have not used iFitness since my initial trial (Dec 08), but from researching the current reviews and the iFitness website, it appears that iStayFit maintains the lead in functionality and flexibility for the gym rat or the novice! Maybe the lead that iFitness maintains it is price driven.
iStayFit v3.0 Highly Recommended

Hey Kipp,
I came across you site when researching reviews of rival apps. We're doing something in the iPhone fitness space also... but with a twist!
We're a new (and tiny!) iPhone startup and we've released a fitness app called PushupFu - we would love for you to have a look.
Unlike more generic fitness apps like iFitness, ours is a bit different; you can attach the iPhone to your arm (using elastic bands or a strap) and our app gives you realtime feedback on the quality of your reps. It's like having a robot personal instructor, and it's perfect for ensuring your reps are slow and consistent.
What's more there's a battle mode, a training bot AND blog widgets to keep you motivated.
If you want to know more, email me at the address on our GymFu.com contact page.
All the best,
Jof
Wow, Fantastic Blog, it’s so helpful to me, and your blog is very good.
