  1. [R2] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US My workout partner: I use this app in every single workout. I can’t remember the weights and repetitions and seeing them precisely allows me to see progress. I love the ability to create my own templates when I get too comfortable with my workout I create alternate templates to explore, newer types of exercise, like body, weights, or kettle balls, or any number of things.
  2. [R8] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US Phenomenal: Nearly 700 workouts done using this app. Absolutely a beast at tracking sets. The graphs monitoring progress over time are super helpful as well. Definitely recommend!
  3. [R14] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US Love it!: I love this app. I love being able to see how much better I can do each time I repeat a workout.
  4. [R17] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US Fantastic workout partner: I’ve been using Strong for over two years. I now have a huge record of specific workouts and exercises and can see my progress. Super easy to plan workouts and record exercises.
  5. [R35] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US This app is awesome!!!: This is the third training app I switched to and this time I am extremely satisfied. What I love most about this app is the ease of entry. The timers are perfectly positioned and intuitive. It has all the exercises I need and good depictions of form. This app is so easy to use and I don’t have to think about it while I workout. The only nit I have, when doing exercises like
  6. [R44] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US Just Enough: Great app… let’s me record exactly what I want in an easy straight forward way!
  7. [R1] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 1/5 · US It stinks now: It used to sync well with my watch. Not anymore. Almost useless.
  8. [R7] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 2/5 · US The workout app field is expanding rapidly and Strong is getting left behind.: I’m quickly finding that there’s no perfect workout app. There’s always a these things are great or improvements over this app…but…and the “but” is the key because it comes down to which app is offering the trade offs you’re willing to live without? My frustration with Strong is we are still dealing with syncing issue
  9. [R10] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 2/5 · US Buggy, even with the paid version: This app is incredibly inconsistent, especially when it comes to syncing up to my Series 11, sometimes it absolutely refuses to communicate with the watch and vice versa. The timers between sets often freeze or don’t engage at all, it throws in random numbers for weight and reps into my workout templates and a large amount of my recorded sessions seem to disappea
  10. [R11] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 4/5 · US Buggy: Love the app for the features but it has become so buggy when trying to sync with my Apple Watch. Some days are great but others it plain out refuses to sync no matter what I do. This needs to be fixed.
  11. [R26] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US Amazing for it being free: Been using it to track workouts for the past 3 years. Very intuitive interface and very generous for it being free. No ADs either which is a plus. Great history and tracking features as well
  12. [R53] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US Amazing: Been using the app for a long time. It’s so good that i am considering subscribing just because I feel bad for abusing the app for free.
  13. [R3] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · US Hevy Free version better: Hevy app gives more options, insights and charts than this app. The free version is not sufficient and would need us to pay for it to be usable
  14. [R48] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · GB Why only 3 templates: This app was great. Super easy to use even alerted you when the timer was up when off the app. The app lets you make your split into individual templates (eg one template for a push workout). This was good until I realised you can only make 3 templates which was really impractical.
  15. [R13] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 1/5 · US Junk app: If you ever have to reach out to the developer team, know you’re in for zero help. This app has constant issues integrating with Apple Watch which, for a fitness app, renders it useless. Every time I reach out to support they just tell me to uninstall and reinstall the app. If that was going to work, don’t they think it would’ve worked the first time? They’re lazy and uninterested in mak
  16. [R73] Fitbod 1/5 · US STOP TRYING TO TAKE PAYMENT: I’ve been trying for weeks to figure out how to stop this app from taking a payment from my Apple Cash! They are trying to take $69.99 because I did a trial three days through the Planet Fitness app and evidently there was also another three day trial directly through the Fitbod app that’s trying to take out $95.99, but they are trying to charge me both charges and try
  17. [R91] Fitbod 1/5 · US Sucks: Would not let me cancel and didn’t help with anything
  18. [R97] Fitbod 1/5 · US Won’t Stop Attempting Payment: I went through the trial period for this app and found that I didn’t like for myself. I went ahead and unsubscribed from the trial a bit late and it attempted to charge my apple cash. Over the past two months I’ve contacted support multiple times and even deleted my FITBOD account in attempt to stop unsuccessful the charges with no success. I do not suggest this app
  19. [R61] Fitbod 1/5 · US Charging me: Even though I try to cancel subscription it keeps on charging me money 1/10 i would definitely not recommend🤮🤢
  20. [R63] Fitbod 3/5 · US Confused: How do you personalize this app?
  21. [R64] Fitbod 1/5 · US Stupid: I downloaded it, answered all the questions and then it brought up the usual... Paying for a subscription. There was no X on the screen and it wouldn't let me past that screen almost making sign up for a subscription. I tried to close and refresh app but then it just went back to that screen. Waste of time signing up for something that was supposed to be free.
  22. [R67] Fitbod 1/5 · US Subscription Mandatory: Classic free SaS app that makes you make an account and then immediately asks for an auto renewing payment method to do a free trial. Can’t even get to the page to delete your account without putting in payment information.
  23. [R68] Fitbod 5/5 · US My personal trainer: Love the app. I like the variety of exercises and the progressive layout of keeping me growing.
  24. [R77] Fitbod 5/5 · US 5 years of Consistency: I’ve been using Fitbod since February 2021 and I’ve never stopped. This is the first and only app I’ve ever used for fitness. It guides me on my cuts, bulks, muscle building phases and strength building phases. It helps me stay accountable and updates my workouts when I add equipment to my home gym. I will be a lifetime customer.
  25. [R104] Fitbod 5/5 · US Love love: I love this app. It remembers how much , sets a plan in a time frame I can do in gym or home and increases progresses weight / reps for me - to ensure I am getting stronger . And just when I start to wonder “why are there no single leg exercises? “ they will be in the next progression!
  26. [R113] Fitbod 5/5 · US Game changer: I highly recommend Fitbod if you are also wanting to get into the gym, be efficient and make gains, but don’t have the time or mental energy to make a master plan. I really appreciate every day I workout that I have a set of exercises to accomplish a goal and the app gives me great recommendations on sets reps and weights so I don’t have to think about it.
