Stop guessing in the gym. Trainlike grades every workout and sets your next targets, so you walk in knowing exactly what to lift today. Most trackers record what you did and leave the thinking to you. Trainlike closes the loop: it prescribes today's weights and reps, watches how you actually perform, and adjusts. Every recommendation comes with the evidence behind it. Nothing is a black box. TRAIN • Open your routine and today's weights and reps are already filled in • A verdict on every exercise: add 5 lbs, add a rep, hold steady, or ease back. Tap it to see the evidence • Fast set logging with rest timers, supersets, warm-up, failure and drop sets • Weighted, bodyweight, assisted, timed and distance exercises all tracked properly • Plate calculator and warm-up calculator built in • Focus Mode shows one set at a time when you want nothing else on screen • Optional effort tracking your way: simple emoji, RPE, or RIR GRADE • Every workout gets a grade with the receipts: volume, intensity, progression, effort • Clear takeaways: what went well, what to fix, and exact targets for next time • Accept a suggested target and it writes itself into your next workout • Check in with your energy level so an off day reads as an off day, not a regression • Per-exercise analysis and a monthly review as your history builds REPEAT • Strength Score: one number for where you stand, built from your five key movement patterns • Seven types of PR detected automatically, with a receipt showing exactly what you beat • Rep max table per exercise: your heaviest weight for every rep count • Eleven chart types for 1RM, volume, reps and more, with scrubbing and fullscreen zoom • A year-view training heatmap, week streaks and a weekly goal ring • Muscle recovery estimates so you know what is ready to train • Progress photos and body measurements. Photos never leave your device. ROUTINES • Build your own with rep ranges, supersets, and per-exercise rest timers • Browse ready-made routines and programs, from beginner plans to powerlifting • Snap a photo of any written workout and turn it into a routine • Answer a few questions and get a starter plan matched to your schedule and equipment • Share any routine or program with a link THE DETAILS LIFTERS NOTICE • Choose your 1RM formula: Epley, Brzycki, Wathen and four more • Decide whether warm-ups count toward volume and PRs • Set your own plate inventory and bar types • A brutal RPE day turns an increase into a hold. Honest effort changes the plan. • Coming back from time off? Targets re-anchor instead of arguing with you • When your sets outgrow your rep range, Trainlike suggests a better one • Note your injuries once and recommendations never push against them • Edit any past workout and every record recalculates LEARN EVERY LIFT • 690+ exercises with video demos and step-by-step instructions • Muscle Explorer: see every muscle group on a rotating 3D model • First time on a lift?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Trainlike at none against StepPet's shown. Trainlike also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). StepPet's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
