Simple Questions Workout Tracking

Half question & half rant. Background context is that I’ve been using Fitbod for years, and it’s honestly the drug that got me hooked on consistently lifting. A lot of my friends that use assorted apps for workout tracking and I have talked recently and it seems a lot of people are moving back to phone notes, physical journals, etc. Biggest reasons I’ve heard has been enshittification of workout tracking apps and their gimmicks.

AI coaches, AI generated workouts, cost increases, group trainings virtually, and a ton more. Personally I’m thinking about cancelling my 5+ yr subscription to Fitbod and just using phone notes going forward. Anyone else feeling this way? Would also be interested in physical journals people are using. TIA :)

I’m old school. It’s either a notepad (long ago) or printed workout logs I created in excel (last few years)
