index, the application will suggest choices of the corresponding exercises The secondary aim of this study is to suggest possible nutrition to stay healthy throughout the use of the fitness application based on height, weight, age, exercise levels and target weight and use these data to suggest a sensible daily calorie intake In the application, there are a number of exercises with pictures and clear instructions on how to perform them There are also several android applications for fitness and health but Fitness and Gym Usage is a new mobile application composed of various functions that contain BMI calculator, heart tracker, gym training, and health and nutrition tips The application helps users perform safe and proper exercise to maintain fitness Key words: Fitness,
