The Best Fitness Apps for Android, iOS and Apple Watch in 2025

If you want the best apps to track your workouts, the right pick depends on how you train, how much guidance you want, and how much time you are willing to spend tapping between sets. Some apps are built for clean, fast logging. Others lean into AI programming, social motivation, or deep analytics. The good news is that there is a strong option for almost every type of lifter.

How we picked the best apps to track your workouts

I focused on apps that make logging easier in the middle of a workout, not just apps that look good in screenshots. I also looked at whether the app helps you see progress over time, supports the devices most lifters actually use, and stays useful once the novelty wears off. If you want a quick refresher on training basics before comparing apps, Core Principles & Techniques for Every Lifter is a helpful companion read.

Quick comparison of the top workout tracking apps

Strong

Strong is the simplest recommendation if you already know your split and just want a clean place to log it. The company says Strong is available on iPhone, Android, and Apple Watch, that Strong Accounts are free forever, and that you can export your data any time. Strong PRO adds best sets, max 1RM, body fat percentage, advanced charts, workout sharing, Apple Health, RPE, supersets, custom exercises, and custom timers. If you want a pure gym log that stays out of your way, Strong does that well. (strong.app)

Setgraph

Setgraph is a strong pick when speed matters more than bells and whistles. The App Store listing says it is free with in-app purchases and available on iPhone and Apple Watch, while the official feature page highlights rapid set logging, automatic rest timers, Smart Plates, filters by rep or weight range, real-time comparisons with your last session, and daily progress graphs. Setgraph also says Apple Health and Apple Fitness integration is built in, and recent App Store updates added a personalized AI workout planner.

Hevy

Hevy is the social pick on this list. The App Store describes it as free and ad-free on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and iMessage, with live Apple Watch sync, heart-rate tracking, private or public profiles, community features, and a routine planner. In Pro, you get unlimited routines, graph history, custom exercises, and advanced measurements, and the US App Store shows monthly, yearly, and lifetime options. Hevy makes the most sense if you like polished tracking and do not mind a social layer. (apps.apple.com)

JEFIT

JEFIT is still one of the strongest free all-rounders. The official site says Basic is free and includes custom workout routines, 1,400+ exercises, logging and history, plus community access and support. Elite adds advanced analytics, watch support, video demonstrations, and an ad-free experience for $12.99/month or $69.99/year. JEFIT also emphasizes planning, logging, and progress insights across mobile, watch, and web, which makes it a good fit if you want a deeper feature set without starting from scratch every session.

Fitbod

Fitbod is the best choice if you want the app to do the programming for you. The FAQ says it builds workouts from your goals, fitness level, equipment, recovery, and past performance, lets you choose a workout length, tracks PRs and volume trends, includes video demos and coaching cues, and can be used offline once the workout has been generated. Fitbod's website lists $15.99/month or $95.99/year, and the App Store shows Apple Watch support plus Apple Health, Strava, and Fitbit integrations. (fitbod.me)

Boostcamp

Boostcamp works well for lifters who want structure first and logging second. The homepage highlights 200+ free programs from coaches, auto-progression, a built-in rest timer, plate calculator, RPE tracking, form videos, and detailed analytics. The Pro page lists $14.99/month or $59.99/year, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. If you like following a proven program instead of building one from scratch, Boostcamp is a strong fit. (boostcamp.app)

Caliber

Caliber is the cleanest hybrid of tracker and coaching app on this list. The free plan includes workout logging, a 65+ exercise library, PR detection, a rest timer, Apple Health sync, and workout history. Pro adds AI Coach feedback and progression suggestions for $2.99/month or $24.99/year, and Caliber also offers a one-time Founding Member option at $14.99. It is a practical pick if you want more guidance than Strong or Setgraph without jumping into a fully programmed app. (usecaliber.app)

What to look for in a workout tracker

The best workout tracker is the one that matches how you actually train. If you rest short and log often, fast set entry matters more than flashy charts. If you like seeing whether your lifts are moving, look for PRs, session history, and volume trends. Setgraph, Strong, Hevy, and JEFIT all put a lot of weight on fast logging and progress review, while Fitbod and Caliber spend more of their effort on programming and guidance. For a practical training framework to pair with your app, Setgraph Training Guide | Maximize Your Workout is a useful next step. (setgraph.app)

• Fast logging and repeat sets. Setgraph's swipe logging, Strong's minimalist flow, and Hevy's quick set entry all reduce friction during a workout. (setgraph.app)

• Progress feedback. Strong, Setgraph, JEFIT, and Caliber all surface charts, PRs, or analytics that make progress easier to see. (strong.app)

• Data portability. Strong says you can export data any time, and JEFIT says you can review or export your whole workout journey. If you expect to switch apps later, that matters. (strong.app)

• Watch support. Strong, Setgraph, Hevy, JEFIT, and Fitbod all support smartwatch use in some form, which is handy if you do not want to keep reaching for your phone. (strong.app)

• Programming versus logging. Fitbod and Boostcamp do more of the thinking for you, while Strong and Setgraph stay more log-first. (fitbod.me)
