What Is CrossTrainer: Fitness Tracker?

Updated

CrossTrainer is an all-in-one fitness and nutrition tracking app for iOS and Android. It is designed for people who want to manage their training, diet, body weight, and daily goals in one place rather than juggling separate apps. You can download it for free, and the site also links to a Premium features page, so some functionality sits behind a paid tier. It fits general fitness users—people logging workouts and meals toward a gain, lose, or maintain goal—rather than a specialized clinical or coaching tool.

What the App Actually Does

CrossTrainer organizes its workflow around four steps, which also describe its core feature set:

  1. Set your goal. You weigh in and choose a target (gain, lose, or maintain). The app then builds daily calorie and activity goals around that target.
  2. Log your training. You build and log workouts set by set, and record runs, rides, and cardio sessions with distance, pace, heart rate, and a live GPS route.
  3. Track your nutrition. You log meals and snacks to see calories, macros, and micronutrients, compared against recommended daily allowances (RDA) built into the app.
  4. Analyze progress. A Progress module charts trends across nutrition, workouts, and cardio so you can see what is working.

Who It Suits

CrossTrainer is a reasonable fit if you want one app to cover both sides of the equation—training logs and food logs—and you like seeing them against a single daily goal. The combination of a workout builder, a large food database with barcode scanning, and GPS cardio tracking covers the common needs of a general fitness routine.

It is less clearly a fit if you need sport-specific programming, coach-managed plans, or clinical nutrition guidance. The site mentions a trainer track ("Are you a trainer?") and a Pro account login, which suggests separate offerings for professionals, but the public page does not detail what those include.

Free vs. Premium

The app is described as free to download, and a Premium page exists on the site. The available material does not specify which features are free, what Premium costs, or what it unlocks—so treat "free download" as distinct from "fully free to use," and check the Premium page or the app store listing before committing.

Practical Notes Before You Start

  • Platform: Available on the App Store and Google Play.
  • Data you will need: an initial weight and a chosen goal to generate calorie and activity targets.
  • Habit dependency: the value comes from consistent logging; the Progress module only reflects what you record.
  • Nutrition accuracy: the 2M+ food database and barcode scanning help, but portion accuracy still depends on how carefully you log.

If your main question is whether one app can hold your workouts, meals, and weight trend together, CrossTrainer is built for exactly that. If you need to know the exact free/premium split or pricing, that detail is not in the available material and is best confirmed on the Premium page or in the store listing.
