Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Barbell Run at 100% against Big Makeover's 18%. Barbell Run also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). Big Makeover's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (15K vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Big Makeover holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Makeover has 15K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Barbell Run's written reviews are positive against 18% of Big Makeover's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
