Workout Trackers for Android, iPhone, and Apple Watch
Choose a workout app by the job you need it to do: Setgraph for a lifting log, Fitbod for suggested strength sessions, Strava for outdoor activity tracking, MyFitnessPal for food and activity records, or Nike Training Club for guided workouts. This guide is published by Setgraph and compares documented features, not results from a hands-on speed test.
What to Look for in a Workout Tracker App?
There are many things you want in a workout log app. Here are the following things you can consider before choosing a workout tracker app:
Ease of Use: Your workout tracker should be easy to use and user-friendly to log your workouts easily.
Customizability: You want an app to customize according to your specific fitness goals.
Device fit: An Android or iPhone app, an Apple Watch app, and a connection to Apple Health are different capabilities. Check the exact task you want to perform on each device; availability on two phone platforms does not guarantee shared history or feature parity.
Useful history: Choose charts and records that match your activity. A route map, food diary, and per-exercise set log answer different questions.
Here are five options, with their strongest use cases and platform boundaries.
Setgraph: an exercise-centered lifting log
Setgraph records sets and exercise history for people who want to track their own training. It has official iPhone and Apple Watch and Android listings. The iOS workflow below should not be read as a promise that every phone feature is on Android or Apple Watch.
Features:
Record weight, reps, and optional set notes; enabled exercise properties determine which inputs appear.
Organize exercises into workout lists and return to their past sets.
The iOS app supports swipe-to-record, repeating a prior set, and Smart Plates for entering configured plate loads.
Use history and charts to compare recorded sessions without treating a graph as a diagnosis of recovery or muscle growth.
Use the rest timer when enabled. Timer settings and notification permission affect how reminders behave.
Setgraph suits a lifter who wants their exercise history close to set entry. Try adding an exercise, recording a set, correcting it, and finding it again. The Apple Watch listing establishes Watch availability; confirm that the specific on-wrist workflow you need is supported by your version.
Setgraph has optional PRO access. Review the access terms and any eligible offer shown in the app; a free download does not mean every feature is free.
MyFitnessPal: food and activity records
MyFitnessPal is a sensible shortlist choice when food, calories, and macros are the main task. Its official free-version guide confirms iOS and Android availability and basic food and exercise logging. It is a different starting point from a dedicated lifting log.
Features:
A large database of foods is used to track calories and macros.
Log exercise alongside food and other daily records.
Track body weight and nutrition goals.
The Apple Watch app supports tasks such as viewing daily nutrition progress and adding water or calories. Workout sync requires the documented Apple Health connection.
Choose it when nutrition records are central to your routine. If you also need detailed lifting history, try that exact task before replacing your set logger.
Strava: runs, rides, and outdoor activity
Strava is a shortlist choice for GPS-based runs and rides, routes, and sharing activity with other people. It is not the same workflow as recording each strength-training set.
Features:
Tracks outdoor runs and bike rides with GPS.
Social sharing and challenges to keep you motivated.
Review activity metrics such as distance, pace or speed, and elevation where available for the activity and device.
Strava is available on iOS and Android. Its Apple Watch guide describes supported activity recording and device requirements. Check those requirements before planning a phone-free session.
Fitbod: Personalized Strength Training App
Fitbod is a shortlist choice if you want strength-workout suggestions based on your goals, available equipment, and logged training. Its official FAQ confirms iOS and Android availability. You can still edit suggested exercises and loads to fit the session.
Features:
Suggested sessions use your training preferences and logged history.
Exercise instructions and demonstrations are available for reference; they do not assess your live technique.
Tracking features for sets, reps, and weights.
The exercise-details guide covers set, rep, and weight entry and notes a Watch limitation for unilateral labels. Watch support is not full phone-interface parity.
Choose Fitbod when workout suggestions matter more to you than starting from an empty log. Review the suggested session before lifting and the access terms shown in the app.
Nike Training Club: guided workouts
Nike Training Club offers guided strength, conditioning, yoga, and mobility workouts. It is a useful choice when you want a session to follow at home or in the gym.
Features:
A library of free guided workouts led by Nike trainers; catalog size and availability can vary by region.
Choose workouts by the equipment, duration, and activity that fit your day.
Nike provides iOS and Android downloads. This guide does not establish an on-watch NTC lifting logger; Apple Health integration is a separate capability.
Choose NTC for guided sessions. If your priority is comparing the load and reps of every lift across months, keep that requirement separate when evaluating it.
Conclusion
For a self-directed lifting log, start with Setgraph. For suggested strength sessions, consider Fitbod. For runs and rides, start with Strava; for nutrition records, MyFitnessPal; for guided workouts, Nike Training Club. Test one ordinary session on your actual devices before moving your history. No single choice is best for every activity.
