If you enjoy doing any type of circuit training workout whether it be weight lifting, yoga, or something else – Circuit Train is perfect for you. Instead of monitoring a stopwatch the entire workout – focus on the quality of your workout and let this app alert and aid your progress while powering through it. Circuit training involves selecting ten or so exercises (push-ups, bicep curls, mountain climbers, etc.) and doing them in succession for a set period such as a minute, and then quickly moving onto the next exercise. After the full circuit, its time to rest up, and do the whole thing again a set number of times! Circuit Train allows you to define these amount of times, stations, and circuits. Fully customizable – choose your station lengths, amount of stations, breaks, etc. Also utilizes a customized playlist via the iTunes music you have on your device. By default – the music will move to the next track whenever the time is up for a break or to get moving again. This allows you to focus on the workout rather than watching a clock or stopwatch.

Bleep Test: Shuttle Run helps you run a 20m beep test on your iPhone and see your level and shuttle score, distance and time. Use the free Standard 20m test for a fitness check, or unlock Lifetime Pro for target tests, guided training and progress tracking. HOW TO RUN A TEST Mark out the distance shown for your chosen test, check the audio, then run between the two lines in time with the beeps. Follow the level, shuttle and next-cue display. Use Miss to record a missed shuttle; the app does not automatically detect line crossings. FREE BLEEP TEST • Run the complete Standard 20m, 21-level test using the built-in Eurofit-style protocol. • Check the audio before every formal test. • See your result with score, shuttles, distance and elapsed time. • View your latest result saved on your iPhone. TRAIN WITH PERSONAL COACH — LIFETIME PRO Build a plan from a compatible formal test result. Choose 4, 6 or 8 weeks with 2 or 3 sessions per week. Follow guided Foundation, Level Repeats and Target Simulation workouts, track completed sessions, then take a formal retest to compare with your baseline. LIFETIME PRO ALSO INCLUDES • UK Police 15m preparation with a level 5, shuttle 4 target. • Firefighter 20m preparation with a level 8, shuttle 8 target. • Practice from a selected level. • Full history and progress charts for comparable formal results. • Multiple athlete profiles to keep individual results separate. • Custom shuttle test protocols. • CSV and JSON result export. Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription. VO2 MAX ESTIMATES Eligible, valid 20m formal results at level 2 or above can include an estimated VO2 max when an age from 8 to 50 is provided. Estimates are not available for 15m tests, custom protocols, practice or Coach training sessions. VO2 max is estimated from the test result, not measured directly in a laboratory, and is not a medical diagnosis. CLEAR TEST CONDITIONS Formal tests cannot be paused. An audio interruption or output-route change stops the test and marks the result invalid. Saved results retain the protocol name and version. Practice and Coach training sessions stay separate from formal test trends. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, ads or analytics backend. Athlete profiles and results are stored locally on your iPhone. No internet connection is required during a test. Use the app for training and self-assessment. Test protocols and entry requirements vary: check the selected protocol against your organization's current requirements. The app is not affiliated with or endorsed by any police, fire, military or testing organization, and does not guarantee a pass.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Circuit Train at none against Bleep Test's 1. Circuit Train also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). Bleep Test's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
