# Gym Day vs Training

The clearest difference is ads: Gym Day at none against Training's shown. Gym Day also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 9 months). Training's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gym Day sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Training sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gym Day ships an update every 10 days, Training every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
