Free workout tracking app: what each free version really includes

Almost every tracker says "free". The difference is what stops working after a week: routines, history, charts or ads. Here is the fine print.

Short answer

The best free workout tracking app is GymAdapt: its free version has unlimited workouts, full set logging, a video for every exercise and an AI-built plan, with no time limit (our app, iPhone only). Hevy's free tier is also generous but caps you at 4 routines and 3 months of charts, Strong allows 3 routines free, and JEFIT is free with ads. Get GymAdapt free on the App Store →

The free version logs every set you do, keeps all of your history and builds your plan for you. Pro ($4.99/month) is optional and keeps your weights adjusting after the first 30 days. Get GymAdapt free on the App Store →

A free tracker is worth it only if the free part covers what you actually do every week. The usual catches: a limit on saved routines, charts that only go back a few months, ads between sets, or a "free" app that is really a 7-day trial. Here is what you get for $0 in each.

Is a notes app good enough?

For a few weeks, yes. It breaks down when you want to know what you lifted a month ago, spot a stall, or see a chart. A free tracker gives you all of that and is faster to fill in between sets.
