What Can You Track With the CrossTrainer Fitness App?
Updated
CrossTrainer is an iOS and Android fitness tracker that combines workout logging, cardio tracking, nutrition tracking, and progress charting in one app. According to the site, you can track four main areas: strength workouts set by set, cardio sessions with distance/pace/heart rate/GPS route, meals with calories and macros/micronutrients against RDA, and daily items like steps, water, and goals on a dashboard. Progress charts then visualize weight, strength, and cardio trends. The app is free to download; a separate Premium page exists, so some features may sit behind a paid tier, but the site does not specify which.
Training: Strength and Cardio in One Log
The workout builder lets you create custom workouts with sets, reps, rest, and progressive overload, then log them set by set. For cardio, the GPS run tracker records runs, rides, and walks with live pace, distance, heart rate, and route. The stated goal is that "all of your training lives in one place," so you don't need separate apps for lifting and running.
What this looks like in practice
If you do a 45-minute leg session followed by a 5K run, you'd log each lift with its sets and reps in the workout builder, then start the GPS tracker for the run. Afterward, both entries appear in your history and feed the progress charts.
Nutrition: Calories, Macros, and Micronutrients
The nutrition side uses a database of 2M+ foods with barcode scanning. You log meals and snacks, and the app shows calories, macros, and micronutrients compared against recommended daily allowances (RDA) built into the app. This is the most detail-oriented part of the app: it's aimed at people who want to see how their eating stacks up against targets, not just count calories.
Daily Dashboard: Steps, Water, and Goals
The home screen aggregates every tracked activity, step count, water intake, and goal in one place. The daily goals system calculates personalized calorie and macro targets based on your starting weight and whether you choose to gain, lose, or maintain.
Progress: Charts for Weight, Strength, and Cardio
The Progress module turns your logs into interactive charts for weight, strength, and cardio trends. The site frames this as the accountability step: seeing what's working and understanding your habits.
Quick Reference
| Area | What you can track |
|---|---|
| Strength training | Custom workouts, sets, reps, rest, progressive overload |
| Cardio | Runs, rides, walks; distance, pace, heart rate, live GPS route |
| Nutrition | Meals and snacks; calories, macros, micronutrients vs. RDA; 2M+ foods, barcode scan |
| Daily | Steps, water intake, calorie and macro goals |
| Progress | Charts for weight, strength, and cardio trends |
Who This Fits
CrossTrainer suits someone who wants one app for lifting, cardio, and food without juggling three separate tools. If you only lift and don't care about nutrition, the nutrition and cardio features may be more than you need. If you want to know exactly what the Premium tier adds, check the Premium page on the site before committing, since the free download doesn't tell you where the paywall sits.
