Built by TheCardioCritique — home cardio equipment reviews trusted by thousands of USA buyers
Most home cardio equipment owners have no real picture of how consistently they’re using it — or whether they’re actually improving. Generic fitness apps are built for gym-goers. Paper logs disappear. Fancy trackers charge a monthly fee for features you’ll never use.
“Your treadmill cost $800. Tracking your progress shouldn’t cost extra.”
✗Generic apps aren’t built around treadmills, bikes or rowers — you’re always fighting the format
✗You can’t remember if you actually hit your time goal last Tuesday or just told yourself you did
✗No way to see whether your week-to-week consistency is improving or sliding
✗Fitness apps charge $10–$15/month for features you’ll use 10% of
✗Without an accountability system, expensive equipment quietly collects dust

Built for
Your Machine. Your Log.
/ Treadmill
Treadmill Owners
Track every walk, jog, and run. Finally know if your machine is getting the use it deserves — or quietly collecting dust between weekends.
Basic upright or premium spin bike — consistency tracking turns vague “I’ve been cycling” into actual data you can act on.
/ Rowing Machine
Rower Users
Rowing sessions are intense but easy to skip. The Goal Completed checkbox makes skipping feel real — and the mood column shows when your form starts to slip.
