The 7 best workout tracker apps of 2026

Free plans and prices at a glance

Prices from each app’s App Store listing and pricing page, November 2026. They change often and vary by country; check the store before you subscribe.

1. Repto: best for free unlimited logging plus an AI coach

Our app, so read this one with that in mind. Repto is a fast set logger: every set shows what you lifted last time, ticking it starts the rest timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, and the app suggests your next weight. Routines are unlimited on the free plan and there are 31 ready-made programs.

Pro adds an AI coach that builds programs, reviews your week and answers questions about your own data, plus AI meal plans and an InBody sheet scanner. Runs on iPhone, a standalone Apple Watch app and Android.

Skip it if you want a big social feed or thousands of community programs; Hevy and Boostcamp are stronger there.

2. Hevy: best for social features and a polished free logger

Hevy is the most popular free logger, with a clean interface and a large social community where you can follow friends and copy their workouts. Logging is quick and the Apple Watch app is solid.

The catch: the free plan stops at 4 routines and limits history and stats, so most regular lifters end up on Pro. Pro is cheap, and it removes those limits. Repto vs Hevy compared.

3. Strong: best for minimalist, no-nonsense logging

Strong is the classic simple logger: fast, uncluttered and reliable, with an Apple Watch app. If you only want to write down sets and reps, it does that well.

The catch: only 3 custom routines on the free plan, and fewer extras (programs, coaching) than newer apps. Strong alternatives compared.

4. Fitbod: best for hands-off, auto-generated workouts

Fitbod builds each workout for you from your equipment, recovery and history, which suits people who don’t want to plan. It adapts sets, reps and weights automatically.

The catch: it is the most expensive app here and there is no lasting free plan. Lifters who want to follow a specific program (5x5, PPL) often find it too opinionated.

5. Jefit: best for huge exercise library and analytics

Jefit has one of the largest exercise databases (1,400+ exercises), detailed progress reports and a long-running community of shared routines.

The catch: the free version shows ads and the interface feels busier than newer apps. Elite removes ads and unlocks the deeper reports.

6. Boostcamp: best for following proven programs

Boostcamp is built around programs: a large library of coach-designed plans (nSuns, GZCLP, PHUL and many more) plus thousands of community programs, all trackable for free.

The catch: auto-progression, advanced analytics and exclusive coach programs are Pro-only, and it is less suited to freestyle training without a program.

7. Alpha Progression: best for science-based hypertrophy plans

Alpha Progression focuses on muscle building: Pro generates periodized plans and gives progression recommendations for every exercise, with good explanations of the training science behind them.

The catch: the plan generator and progression advice, the reasons to pick it, are behind Pro.

How to choose

You just want to log. Any app here works; pick the free plan that fits how many routines you run. Unlimited routines for free: Repto, Boostcamp, Alpha Progression.

You want a program to follow. Boostcamp has the biggest program library; Repto ships 31 free programs and builds custom ones with its AI coach.

You don’t want to plan at all. Fitbod, Alpha Progression Pro or Repto Pro will generate the training for you.

You train with friends. Hevy’s social feed is the best of the group.

How we compared

This guide is written by the team behind Repto, one of the apps listed, so we have an obvious interest. To keep it fair we list each app’s real strengths, include where Repto is the weaker choice, and take prices and free-plan limits from each app’s own App Store listing and pricing page.
