GymForge: Serious Lifting - Zero Distractions - Proper Form Mastery Stop wrestling with complicated workout apps. GymForge gives dedicated lifters a simple yet powerful way to build, track, and master workouts β with a clean, native interface that keeps your focus on training. Key Features: - TRACK PROGRESS WITH PERSONALIZED INSIGHTS: Your Dashboard provides Quick Start access to recent workouts and insights. View consistency on a calendar heatmap, track volume, training time, and personal records over time β weekly to yearly. - CREATE YOUR PERFECT PLAN: Intuitively build truly custom routines. Add, remove, and sort exercises; set target sets with flexible rep modes (fixed reps, rep ranges, or AMRAP) or a hold time; and configure optional RPE targets as a single value, a range, or per set β your way, with fewer taps. - SMART PROGRESSION GUIDANCE: NextLoad indicators analyze your performance and suggest whether to increase, maintain, or decrease weight for your next session. Combined with automatic weight increments, progressive overload has never been easier. - PAUSE & RESUME ANYTIME: Life happens. Pause your workout mid-session and pick up exactly where you left off, right from your dashboard. - DEFINE EXERCISES YOUR WAY: Tailor exercise names, descriptions, and muscles, and link YouTube videos (with custom timestamps) for technique reference. Track history and personal records for every exercise. - MUSCLE MAP: See exactly what every exercise trains. Tag primary and secondary muscles β or accept a smart suggestion β and view them on a front and back body map, male or female. Muscles Trained shades it by sets per muscle, so you spot what you've skipped. - TIMED HOLDS: Measure Plank, Dead Hang or any exercise by time. Plan a fixed time, a range, or max hold; the Set Timer counts, even on your Lock Screen. Beat your Longest Hold. - EXERCISE VARIANTS: Add alternatives to any exercise, even mid-workout, and swap on the fly. The picker remembers your last pick. - REST TIMER BETWEEN SETS: Stay on pace with a floating rest timer that starts after each set. Use a fixed rest time or a range β the color-coded bar shows when you're ready to lift and when you've rested too long. Set a global default or customize per exercise. - APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION: Every workout automatically saves to Apple Health with duration and calories burned. - CELEBRATE PERSONAL RECORDS: Automatically detects new bests for weight, volume, and longest hold. Finish your workout and instantly see which PRs you crushed, with previous bests for comparison. - TRACK WORKOUTS WITH ZERO FRICTION: Log weights, reps, hold times, and RPE effortlessly with built-in workout and rest timers. Access form videos mid-workout when you need them most. - REVIEW & REFINE YOUR JOURNEY: Look back at past workout sessions and edit completed workouts to correct any mistakes. - EXPORT YOUR DATA: Export completed workouts to CSV for detailed analysis in any spreadsheet app. Choose a date range or export everything at once. Whether you train with progressive overload, RPE, AMRAP, timed holds, or a focus on technique, GymForge adapts. Free Features Include: Complete workout tracking, timed holds with Set Timer, automatic PR detection, Apple Health integration, exercise video integration with trim controls, muscle map, consistency heatmap, pause/resume workouts, up to 3 workout plans, iCloud sync, and more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fit Horizon at none against GymForge's 2. Fit Horizon also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 26.0). GymForge's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
