How we compare workout apps

The criteria are weighted around real gym use, not feature counts.

Most people are not choosing between equal products; they are choosing between different training workflows. Hevy and Strong are manual loggers, Fitbod is a workout generator, Boostcamp is a program library, and Brace AI is a coach that plans, progresses, and explains your training. Compare the job each app does in the gym and the right shortlist gets clear quickly.

We judge every app on the same things: how fast sets go in during a real session, whether logged work turns into useful next-session decisions, how honest the free tier is, and whether the app stays reliable on a watch, offline, and in a crowded gym. Where a competitor is the better fit, the comparison says so.

Last reviewed June 2026. Pricing, platform support, and free-tier limits change, so the final source of truth is always the official pricing page, App Store listing, Google Play listing, or support page linked from each review.
