STRNG — Strength, Coaching & Movement Train smarter. Move better. Stay consistent. STRNG is the all-in-one fitness app built for people who want to train for life — not just for a season. Most fitness apps push you to go harder until you burn out or break down. STRNG is built differently. We focus on movement quality, real coaching, and consistency — because the people who get results aren't the ones who train the hardest. They're the ones who keep showing up. Whether you train at home or in the gym, whether you're starting out or chasing a new personal best, STRNG gives you everything you need in one place. TRAINING PLANS FOR EVERY GOAL Build muscle, lose fat, get fitter, or train around life. Choose from structured programmes designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels — including pre and postnatal plans, express workouts for busy weeks, strength, conditioning and performance training. Every plan is built to progress with you. 1:1 COACHING Real coaching from a real coach — not a chatbot, not a generic plan. Get matched with a dedicated coach who builds around your goals, your schedule and your body. Message anytime through in-app chat, get accountability when motivation runs low, and finally have someone in your corner who knows your name. Limited capacity, real attention. THE MOVE SERIES Train the way athletes do. Our MOVE Series blends rehab principles with performance training across four pillars — ACTIVATE (prepare your body before training), RESTORE (address restrictions and niggles), REBUILD (fix the patterns behind stuck lifts) and RECOVER (maintain quality and reduce stiffness). It's not just workouts. It's a system that keeps you training consistently at a higher level over time. OVER 100 ON-DEMAND CLASSES Your studio, at the gym or at home. Follow along with on-demand classes across strength, conditioning, mobility and more — filmed with real coaches, suitable for every level. Train wherever you are, whenever it suits you. SMARTER NUTRITION Science-backed calorie and macro goals built around you, plus over 1,000 delicious, macro-friendly recipes to fuel your training. No fad diets, no guesswork — just nutrition that supports how you move. PERFECT YOUR FORM Clear video demonstrations for every exercise, so you always know exactly what you're doing and why. Train with confidence, reduce your risk of injury, and get more from every session. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Log your sessions, track your lifts, and watch your consistency build over time. Collect STRNG achievements as you go and stay motivated towards your next milestone — because progress you can see is progress you keep. WHY STRNG? Real 1:1 coaching with human support and accountability Training plans for every goal and every level Over 100 on-demand classes for home or gym The MOVE Series — rehab-led training for long-term performance 1,000+ recipes with personalised nutrition goals Form guides for every exercise Progress tracking and achievements While using STRNG, members report feeling stronger, fitter and more consistent than ever before. Tens of thousands of people have already transformed the way they train. This isn't about chasing a quick fix. It's about building strength that lasts — physically, mentally, and for the long haul. Consistency beats perfection. Movement is the answer. Download STRNG and start training for life. Same community. Stronger than ever. https://www.joinstrng.com/terms-and-conditions

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ethos GO at 100% against STRNG's 53%. Ethos GO also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). STRNG's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 11) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
