Leave a Review StrongLifts Weight Lifting Log
Not just an app, but a real human coach
I tried other strength apps, but they either provided only superficial programs that didn’t build actual muscle (e.g., Peloton or Apple Fitness), or they had slick interfaces but algorithmically recommended programs that were actually downright harmful and led to pretty serious injury (thank you, Fitbod…).
After 101 workouts using StrongLifts, I can say definitively that this app, combined with copious documentation on its website and a brief and immensely helpful daily email, is the best strength-building app I’ve seen.
Truly the most standout feature of this app is Mehdi himself. At the very times where most new lifters would quit out of frustration, he responds directly and swiftly to email questions with specific, tailored feedback. He even reviews videos of your form. If you see a bug in the app he responds graciously, and typically has it fixed immediately. Getting past challenging plateaus in weightlifting takes way more than an app, it takes a coach. And that’s what you get with this app.Show lessEduDadGuy
Great Workout App For All Levels
I have had the StrongLifts app for a year and recently went to the Lifetime Pro version. As a beginner to intermediate, depending on the lift, I needed a solution that provided workouts without referring to a book. Previously, I used a Women’s Health strength training book and found it frustrating to flip through pages and search for online videos to understand the form. This app solved all those issues by consolidating everything in one place.
Setting it up was user-friendly, and I love that it shows the weights to put on the bar, along with exercise videos for reference—all within the app. It tracks the workout time and suggests when to set up equipment and when to rest. You can also customize your workouts: add more reps, adjust weights, or relax before the next set if needed—a helpful little reminder.
Additionally, whenever I had questions about my workouts, I emailed Mehdi and received a response within two or three days. Mehdi also sends out daily emails if you subscribe. While not all are relevant to me, reading them keeps me focused, and I learn something new each day.Show lessJoaephine975
Stellar service!
My dad and brothers have been long-time users of the Stronglifts app and I was attracted to its features the moment they showed me the app. Still I wanted to take my time to check out what other fitness apps had to offer.
I could not find anything close to the Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime subscription for value! That’s a big deal for our family of 7!
Some of the other apps had a ton of features or a broad focus on many different aspects of fitness. Stronglifts on the other hand seems laser focused on improving strength in the most effective and efficient way. I like the focus and simplicity of their app and programs.
But the real reason I’m writing this 5-star review before my first workout with the app is because their customer service team has been unparalleled in their quick and clear instructions about how to navigate the confusing process of family sharing and getting accounts set up for multiple users. They consistently responded within hours, not days allowing me and my son to get on with lifting rather than spending hours reading blogs and FAQs trying to figure it out ourselves. Out of the hundreds of apps I’ve used and PC software services I’ve used, Stronglifts’ service has put them all to shame!
Thanks to the Stronglifts team - I look forward to using the program and offering a more complete review!
