Gentler Streak Health Tracker

I paid for premium but the app does not provide any new information about your training on top of what you get from the health app. If you want to improve your fitness look elsewhere.

I was hesitant about this app at first. As a med student and student athlete, I roll my eyes at most fitness trackers that charge a fee and claim to be “scientific”. However, Gentler Streak is perhaps one of the few apps on the App Store today with a team that continues to develop and improve its service, regardless if you purchased a onetime subscription. It’s clear the team actually cares about its users’ wellbeing. My only suggestion for the service is that sometimes the activity pathway range tends to underestimate my limits, despite consistent use (as the algorithm they use to estimate this isn’t disclosed to my knowledge, it’s hard to validate). As well, though it syncs with Apple health on most things, it does not sync the perceived exertion ratings.

For me and my lifestyle, the Gentler Streak App has eclipsed other “Fitness” Apps for these reasons: 1. It goes beyond pure physical fitness regimens to recognize the totality of my life and health, including the complexities of everyday life and living. 2. Gentler streak frames my workouts within the rhythm of my body, reminding me that I need time to rest, refresh and rebuild after robust exercise, while also affirming me when I choose less strenuous forms of activity. 3. I am able to link Gentler Streak’s data easily with Apple Health, and Apple’s “Fitness Circles.” 4. With Gentler Streak linked to my Apple Watch, it is able to gear suggestions and alerts to me (e.g. Alert of an immediate risk of over-exertion based on heart rate; or queries if I appear to have paused my workout —often I have!) 5. I really like the gently fluctuating activity ribbon that offers a visual, historical overview of how my exercise is affecting my overall health and fitness. I’m still learning more on how to use the App, but so far I’ve greatly appreciated it as a valued and positive daily digital health companion. Kudos to the interdisciplinary team who created it!

Nice app. Polished. I liked the activity trend. Workout recommendations were a nice touch but I never used it. Bur honestly? Let’s face it. Most fitness apps mirror what’s already available from the apple watch/health/fitness. Gentler Streak is no different. It’s just stats lol… Lastly. Its just not worth the cost. I dropped my rating to 1 star by virtue of the fact that after I cancelled my subscription just to sort out finances on my end, I noticed it jumped from $32 to $70. That’s…. well, insane and insulting.

This app doesn’t work if you have a Fitbit. The data it needs to work isn’t available. It might work with an Apple Watch. There is no free trial period so I paid for a year subscription and I can’t get a refund. Make sure you have data it can use before buying it. It sounds like it would be really helpful for people with chronic health problems, so I hope others can use it.

C’est de l’art, et ça ajoute de la beauté à la vie.

Installed as part of a lower stimulation phone effort. Uninstalled before I could see the value of the app because it sent me constant upsell/deal/fake urgency notifications totally out of line with my goal. Burned my trust in 3 days.

I've been using the **Gentler Streak** health app on my Apple Watch Ultra for a few months now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my fitness routine. This app takes a compassionate approach to fitness, focusing on maintaining a healthy balance between activity and rest. **User-Friendly Interface**: The app's interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and track my progress. The visuals are engaging and provide a clear overview of my daily activity levels. **Personalized Recommendations**: One of the standout features of Gentler Streak is its personalized workout recommendations. The app takes into account my activity levels, rest days, and overall health to suggest daily workouts that are just right for me. This ensures I'm not overexerting myself and helps prevent burnout. **Rest and Recovery**: Unlike other fitness apps that push you to hit your activity goals every day, Gentler Streak emphasizes the importance of rest and recovery. It encourages rest days and provides insights into how much rest I need based on my activity patterns. This holistic approach has helped me stay motivated without feeling guilty for taking a break. **Sleep Tracking**: The app also includes sleep tracking, which has been incredibly helpful. It provides detailed insights into my sleep quality, including the amount of restorative sleep I get each night. This has helped me understand my sleep patterns better and make necessary adjustments to improve my overall well-being. **Overall Experience**: My experience with Gentler Streak has been overwhelmingly positive. It's not just a fitness tracker; it's a comprehensive health companion that supports my journey towards a healthier lifestyle. The app's friendly reminders and encouraging messages keep me motivated, and the focus on sustainable fitness is exactly what I needed. I highly recommend Gentler Streak to anyone looking for a balanced and supportive approach to fitness. It's perfect for those who want to stay active without feeling overwhelmed by extreme workout demands.

Really good app Too broke to get the full version but the free version still tells you a lot of good info! The integration with the Apple Watch is so good at reminding me to log my daily walk commutes and helps me feel better for counting them as exercise instead of just the gym! The little information packets also are really informative and the language/tone used in the app doesn’t make you feel guilty for not keeping up with it.

As soon as I got an Apple Watch I discovered this app, and it has changed how I feel about my body and my attitudes toward exercise. I used to think I needed to push through, that I was never doing enough. I am much healthier, balanced, and actually more fit in a sustainable way since using Gentler Streak, and I feel more free to incorporate a wide variety of exercise into my life. Thank you so much for making this app!!
