The GAINSFIRE workout tracker is your way to go if you are looking for a simple, fast & easy to use workout logger to record your personal development during weight training at the gym. With GAINSFIRE you can easily track your sets, weights, workouts and your overall progress. Create custom training routines, add your own exercises or exercises from our catalog and start your workout. GAINSFIRE logs your performance just like a pen and paper workout diary. The focus of GAINSFIRE is to quickly and efficiently record your performance and physical fitness. This includes the comparison of the current workout with past workouts in simple to understand statistics. We deliberately refrain from explaining the correct execution of individual exercises. A professional trainer at your gym or a personal trainer does that way better than any app. Highlights of the GAINSFIRE workout diary: • Create your own workout routine (or multiple ones). • Add exercises from our extensive catalog • Define your own exercises and use them in your plans • Get summaries after each training session • Compare your performance with previous workouts • Analyze your increase in weights or repetitions • Add notes and your own comments to each exercise • Define individual rest times for sets and exercises with customizable timers • Archive workout routines for later use • Share workout plans and statistics with your personal trainer or friends • Messaging function for trainers and clients • Direct analysis of each completed exercise • Track body weight, body fat and muscle mass as well as body circumferences • Automatic backup of your training data • Use on multiple devices A free one-time registration with your email address and a password of your choice is required for use.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log at freemium against GAINSFIRE Workout Tracker's subscription. Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (108K vs 11). GAINSFIRE Workout Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 65%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GAINSFIRE Workout Tracker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log has 108K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log's written reviews are positive against 95% of GAINSFIRE Workout Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log ships an update every 2 weeks, GAINSFIRE Workout Tracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
