wger

Self-hosted workout and fitness manager with nutrition tracking and mobile apps.

Open source alternative to:

wger (pronounced "vega") is a free, open-source workout and fitness manager that you can self-host or use via official mobile apps. Built with Python and Django, it provides a complete solution for tracking workouts, nutrition, body measurements, and progress photos without relying on proprietary subscription services.

The platform includes a built-in exercise wiki with a community-contributed database, custom workout routines with automatic weight progression rules, and nutrition management powered by Open Food Facts. It supports multiple users with basic gym management features and offers a REST API for third-party integrations.

wger is available as a web application that deploys easily with Docker, and through cross-platform mobile apps on Android, iOS, F-Droid, and Flathub. The project is actively translated by the community via Weblate and released under the AGPL-3.0 license.
