Alternatives to Strong
The lifting log veteran
Strong ranks #6 of 10 in Workout trackers, with an Alt Score of 60. It is proprietary, freemium from $4.99/month and available on iOS and Android. 8 of 10 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
People who lift weights and want to track their training — from beginners to competitive strength athletes.
Strong logs exercises, sets, reps, and weights as a digital replacement for a gym notebook, with progress charts, 1-rep max calculations, and body measurement tracking. It supports custom exercises, supersets, RPE tracking, and workout scheduling with muscle heat maps. Data syncs across iPhone, Android, and Apple Watch, integrates with Apple Health, and can be exported as CSV.
Users create or select a workout routine, then log each exercise's sets, reps, and weight as they train. Strong records this history automatically and turns it into progress charts and stats over time.
