## What is Gym Tracker & Log?

Gym tracker and workout log built by a lifter, for lifters. Unlimited routines and workouts, your full history forever, no ads, no paywall spam.
My mission is to deliver a workout log app that will help you make progress, build strength, and ensure hypertrophy, all that for free.
I will never change a free feature to a paid one, spam the paywall, limit routines or workout logs, etc. (all the bad stuff other workout trackers do).

What sets Strive apart:
- Create unlimited workout routines, most trackers paywall this
- Your full history, forever - every workout, set and chart since day one, no history limit. During a workout tap any exercise to see its history and your previous numbers
- Your data stays yours - stored on your phone, backed up to iCloud, and you can create a manual backup anytime
- Workout plans: 33 ready-made programs (nSuns, PHUL, Reddit PPL, 5x5, Arnold Split and more), a plan creator that builds a plan for you from a short survey, or your own plan with workouts assigned to days or in order
- Plan summary - when a plan ends you get a progress analysis and recommendations
- Automatic progression - turn it on in a routine and the app raises the weight or reps for the next workout, advanced rules are still there for the nerds
- Automatic warmup sets, per exercise
- RIR/RPE tracking with effective reps metric
- Advanced charts, analyze routine, body part or exercise progress
- Personal records and estimated 1RM for every exercise
- Progress photos, compare them side by side
- Measurements and body proportions, see how you compare to ideal ranges
- Rest timer per exercise or per routine, visible on the lock screen
- Home screen widgets and a personalizable dashboard, choose from many widgets in various sizes and have all the data at a glance
- Plate calculator with your own plates and bars
- Gear - assign straps, belts or sleeves to routines and never forget them again
- Placeholder exercise - pick a category or body part and choose the actual exercise during the workout, based on how you feel or what's free at the gym
- Custom keyboard to input workout data frictionlessly, copy values from the previous set, set a value for all sets, increment and decrement
- Apple Health sync - import cardio and bodyweight, send your workouts to Health
- Share workouts and routines with friends or followers, cardio share cards with your GPS route
- PT report - send your coach a clean summary of your training
- Mark workouts as deloads to better understand and analyze the data
- Fully offline - I know some gyms have poor reception
- Wrapped, see your year in review at the end of the year
- Themes & theme creator
- No ads, no selling your data, no tracking across apps

Rest of the features that you would expect:
- Exercise database with 335 exercises, animations and technique tips
- Notes
- All set types: warmup, dropset, myo reps etc.
- Workout finish reminder - never again open the app to see that you have not saved the previous workout
- Plan workout reminders
- Dark mode

I hope my app will help you achieve your goals, in general, just progress and get better.
I promise to develop this app until it is your favorite gym log and workout tracker app.
Remember, we all are gonna make it!
Your gym bro, Artur.

### 5/5 — Meilleur journal de musculation du store

*2026-10-27*

Tout simplement parfait et ergonomique

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2026-10-27*

Très pratique pour le suivi de ses entraînements. Je l’utilise depuis quelques mois et je la recommande

### 5/5 — IT’S FREE!!

*2026-09-29*

This is such a great workout tracker! I spent a while researching a downloading workout trackers but all of them had many ads and a paywall to do anything of value. This app lets you have everything you need for free with no ads! I love how you can make routines and see your progress in graphs for each exercise. I also love how it auto-fills each exercise with the weight you did last time so you can see how you’re progressing while doing the workout. I love this app so much!!

**Developer response:** Awesome, thanks a lot and keep pushing!

### 5/5 — Great Gym App

*2026-09-28, version 2.0.4*

It had a ton of workouts you can log and I love the information it provides after the end of the workout (especially the body map which highlights the muscles you targeted). Sometimes you do need to add exercises tho!

### 4/5 — Very Functional

*2026-09-28, version 2.0.4*

The app has a deep library of exercises and facilitates tracking progress very well. All the stats your average lifter needs are included in the free version.

### 5/5 — I love how it’s free and no ads

*2026-09-27*

I did a lot of research before settling on Strive, and I’m so glad I did. I really love all the features that you can do on this free app such as building your own custom workouts and keeping track of your progress within individual exercises. I also really like that each exercise has an animation (albeit very simple), and guided steps. It does not have all the bills and whistles that other fancy apps may have, but for anyone who’s serious about strength training and is looking for a free version, and a solid gym, log and tracker this is it. I also love that it has no ads, it’s just pure data and workout. I hope this never changes!

**Developer response:** For sure it won't, thanks and keep pushing!

### 4/5 — Great For Tracking Progress

*2026-09-23, version 2.0.4*

I downloaded this app after realizing writing my workouts on pen and paper doesn’t do it for me. This app has helped me record and notice my progress much better! The new update shows when you’ve hit rep PR’s and stuff which I love. If I could give this 4.5 stars I would. It would be 5 stars if I could pre-load my training sessions into the app at the beginning of the week instead of having to put them in the day of/as I go.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-09-19, version 2.0.4*

You can make endless workout routines... other apps only allow 2-3 before they charge you a subscription fee

### 5/5 — Excellent app, great free tier

*2026-09-16, version 2.0.4*

Very robust features in the free tier and no ads. Recommended

### 5/5 — Perfect workout app

*2026-09-16, version 2.0.4*

Does everything you need and does it well. Does not drown you in functions or lock what’s important behind a subscription.
