The app switches between screens smoothly and quickly.
Like I mentioned above there are multiple pre-built weight exercises that you can choose from. To name a few: Ab Crunch, Ab roller, Air Bike, Alt. Deltoid Raise, Alt. Floor press, Alt. Hang Clean, Bench press, Deadlift, Full Squat, Shrug, Bench Dips, Knee Hip Raise etc. These are good, because you can find almost all the major weight exercises, but the option to add your own exercise is missing.
Adding a new exercise entry, is very easy as compared to actually doing that exercise. It’s all about few clicks and typing. Simply click on Log Entries in the Main Screen, and you’ll get a screen which contains all the exercises as per 3 toggles Done, Planned, and Injuries. Click on Done, and fill-in all the fields given on the right. The fields includes: Date/Time, Place, Exercise Drop down list, Reps / Kg, and Injury. Once you fill all the fields, then click on Add button. And that entry gets added to the left of these fields. Besides the Add button, there are other buttons that includes Save, Delete, Schedule, And Get Values. These are pretty easy to use and self-explanatory.
Click on the 3 toggles that I mentioned above, to view their respective entry. And follows the same process for adding new enter corresponding to each toggle. That is fill all fields and click on Add.

Final note:
IntuiTrain, is a good Windows 8 workout diary app. It’s easy, simple, clean, and focuses on the purpose. Though there are few features that are lacking, for example adding entire workout in one go, in place of adding one exercise after another. Also, it would have been good, if it would have supported Windows 8 Search charm, and have arranged the exercises as per date basis. Otherwise, the app is fine. All in all, a good app for all gym goers.
