Why I Built A Google Sheets Workout Add-On
Jul
After years of using spreadsheets for school and then to help run my business I learned I preferred them to apps for another important thing in my life. Tracking my workouts and health.The comprehensive layout of a spreadsheet allows me to view my entire workout at a glance which provides valuable insights for planning better workouts.
I’ve become so hooked on this over the last few years that I’ve taken things to another level. What’s that mean? Did I change my name to Sheets?
No, I haven’t gone completely overboard. But I did take what spreadsheets can do as a workout tracker to another level by developing a Google Sheets ™ weight training tracker Add-On. I believe it’s the first to be launched in Google’s Workspace Add On Marketplace.
Why’d I do this? It’s not because Google Sheets ™ isn’t powerful by itself. It does lots of awesome stuff. But it needed a little bit of help to be a great workout tracker. Same with the most popular fitness apps.
Let me explain.
How I Needed My Weight Training Tracker To Work
When I set out to create my Google Sheets™ workout tracker, I had a clear vision of the features I wanted it to have.
Here are the most important ones that I couldn’t get from other templates and apps.
1. It Needed To Create A Library Of My Workouts: I really wanted a tracker that would seamlessly save every workout I completed in a single place. Creating a database of my workouts for me. With my information saved and organized in one location I’d be able to easily and quickly see and review every workout I’ve done. It also makes it easy to search and find something important.
A tracker that creates a central workout database for me also makes it easy to create reports, charts, and graphs that show my progress over the weeks and months.
2. Create A New Workout Log With One Click: When you use a spreadsheet program creating a sheet for a new workout is a hassle. It usually requires lots of copying, pasting, and formatting. Apps are better but they don’t organize your information so you can see it all on one page.
By doing some coding and creating a Sheets ™ add-on it’s now possible to create a new perfectly formatted sheet. In one click. With every cell, formula and function you need to track your exercises, weight lifted, sets, reps, and more.
3. An Automated Dashboard: The dream was to have a workout progress dashboard that allows me to see my weight training progress. Looking at numbers in a table is definitely. But charts, graphs, and tables that let me see how I’m really doing in my workouts are way better. It’s much easier to understand what’s going right and wrong with my training to make adjustments.
4. Exercise and Last Weight Lifted “Memory”: I craved a tracker that would “remember” all the exercises I performed and the weights I lifted. This intelligent feature would automatically fill in the exercise and weight details as I began typing, eliminating the need for repetitive data entry and streamlining the tracking process.
These desired functionalities formed the foundation of my add-on. Stay tuned to learn how I turned this vision into a reality, and discover the additional customizable features and benefits that await you on your fitness journey.
