Fortis – Workout Tracker, Training Log & Adaptive Coach Fortis is the workout tracker and training log built for lifters of every background, powerlifters, bodybuilders, weightlifters, athletes, or anyone working to get stronger in the gym. Log every set, track your strength progression over time, and train alongside a real community instead of alone. Most fitness apps make you choose: a flexible logbook with no guidance, or a rigid plan that doesn't adapt to your life. Fortis does both: a free, open training log built on your community, plus an adaptive coach that reads your progress and adjusts your program in real time. Key Features Log every detail with precision – Track exercises, sets, reps, and weight across every lift, every session. Monitor strength progression – See your e1RM trend and performance history for every lift, automatically. Seamless workout sharing – Post full workout details so your training partners see exactly how you train. Get coached, not just tracked – Fortis Premium catches plateaus before you do and adjusts your program to keep you progressing. Train your way – Powerlifting, bodybuilding, Olympic lifting, or general strength training, Fortis adapts to your program. Stay consistent when life gets busy – Premium's flexibility layer moves your training days around your schedule without losing progress. Train Smarter, Together Strength training doesn't have to be a guessing game or a rigid script. With Fortis, you build your training log alongside a real community and get an adaptive coach that steps in the moment your progress stalls, so you stay consistent, keep progressing, and don't burn out. Whether you're chasing a new squat PR, refining your technique, or just staying consistent in the gym, Fortis gives you the tools to track, train, and grow, with a community behind you and a coach in your corner. Download Fortis today and start training with a plan that adapts to you.
