Travel Gym

Workout generator for people who travel & don’t wanna skip

August 20, 2026 Built a workout app with zero coding experience using Claude Code — here's what I learned

Backstory: I travel a lot and kept losing my workout routine — hotel gym one week, zero equipment the next, either winging it badly or skipping the session.

Most fitness apps assume you're a beginner, and I couldn't find anything built for people who already train regularly and just need their workout adapted to whatever's around.

So I built Travel Gym. Pick your equipment (hotel gym / bodyweight / bands / full gym), your goal, and how much time you've got — it generates a workout on the spot, with real exercise instructions, not beginner filler. There's also a "build your own" mode if you'd rather pick your own exercises from a library.

The interesting part: I have zero coding background.

Built the whole thing with Claude Code, describing what I wanted in plain English and testing each step myself. Took about a few days of evenings, iterating based on feedback from a couple of friends — one caught that isometric exercises like planks needed time-based logic instead of sets/reps, which I hadn't thought about at all.

It's live and free: https://travel-gym-app.netlify.app/

Would genuinely love feedback from this community — both on the product itself and on the "no-code founder using AI agents" approach, since I imagine a few of you have tried something similar.

    I like the concept of this., lots off people drop off from training when they are working away or on holiday etc. this helps people stay on track. Its simple but effective.

    Thanks, that’s exactly the problem I kept running into myself! I’d train consistently at home and then lose the habit completely for a week every time I traveled. Glad that came through. If you get a chance to try it, I’d love to hear what trips it up

    The strongest part is the specific user constraint: regular trainees who need workouts adapted to whatever equipment they have. That makes the product more distinct than a generic workout generator.

      Appreciate that… yeah I didn’t want to build “yet another workout generator”. I wanted seomthing that actually deals with “I only have a resistance band and a hotel chair today”. Curious if there’s a piece of that constraint you think is still missing (different equipment combos, time limits), anything like that?

        Yeah, I think the constraint itself is the interesting part, especially when the combinations get messy. Happy to take a closer look at that with you — what’s the best email to reach you on?

          Thanks, I think it’s a genuinely fun problem - happy to dig in. My email is projekt4444 yahoo com !what specifically stood out to you about the combination logic, feel free to reply here or by email either way!

            Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.

            Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have a chance.

About

I travel often and lose my routine with no equipment or a hotel gym. Most fitness apps assume beginners, so I built Travel Gym to adapt workouts to what is available on the road.
