Hit your next PR. Pick the number you're chasing: a 225 bench, a 315 squat, a 405 deadlift. Repmax tells you the day you'll hit it, ranks every lift against lifters your age and bodyweight, and shows how much of your natural strength you've unlocked. Then it gives you the weights to get there and logs every set you do. YOUR PR DATE - See how many days until you hit your next PR, or any goal you pick - Pick a goal past your natural limit and Repmax tells you straight - Every workout you log moves the date. Train well and it comes sooner RANK EVERY LIFT - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Titan, Legend, Mythic - Ranked against lifters your sex, age and bodyweight, not against everyone - See exactly how much more it takes to reach the next rank YOUR NATTY CEILING - How strong a natural lifter your size can get, lift by lift - See what percent of it you've unlocked so far, and how much is left in the tank A WORKOUT LOG THAT KNOWS YOUR NUMBERS - Today's weights for every set, built from your own training - Tap a set number for warm-up, failure or drop set. Swipe to delete - Your own workouts plus ready-made Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower and more - A PR badge the moment you beat your best - Minimize a workout and keep using the app SHARE IT Share cards for your PR countdown, rank and natty ceiling, plus a Day X sticker for your gym clips.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Repmax at none against Progress's shown. Repmax also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Progress's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 21 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
