Gym API

Our gym API allows you to search for a specific gym exercise or to get all exercises by each muscle group.

The data is powered by amazing Strenghtlog.

Consuming the API

The API consists of three endpoints. Getting all muscle groups, getting all exercises for a muscle group and also searching for a specific exercise.

GET /categories

To get all muscle groups, call our categories endpoint.
