WonderGym is an evidence-based strength training app for people training solo who want a system, not guesswork. Most people repeat the same workout for months and wonder why the bar stops moving. WonderGym plans your training in phases and uses your own logged sets to decide what comes next. PERIODIZED PLANS • Multi-week programs built in phases: foundation, hypertrophy, strength, peak, and scheduled deload weeks for longer plans • Sets, reps, and RPE change from phase to phase, so the plan moves with you • Main lifts stay the same across the program and accessories rotate between blocks, so your progress on the big lifts stays comparable • 20 built-in programs, including Push/Pull/Legs, PHUL, and a 5/3/1-style strength cycle (18 free; 2 require Pro) • Pro: AI builds a personalized plan from your goal, experience, schedule, and equipment KNOW WHEN TO ADD WEIGHT • Log weight, reps, sets, and RPE in a few taps • Pro: next-session targets. Weight goes up only after you beat your target by 2+ reps in two sessions in a row; otherwise you get a rep target for next time • Pro: repeated very hard sessions at the same weight trigger a suggestion to reduce the load • Choose kg or lb SEE WHAT YOU TRAINED • Pro: a front and back muscle map shows how many sets each muscle group got this week • Workout history, progress charts, and estimated 1RM per exercise MORE TOOLS • AI form check for squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, and push-up (free daily allowance; unlimited with Pro) • AI meal analysis (free daily allowance; unlimited with Pro) and nutrition tracking (free) • Body weight and body composition records • Quick Log for workouts outside your plan • Share a plan with a training partner • Cloud sync across devices Free: workout logging, 18 of the 20 built-in programs, and nutrition tracking. AI form check, AI meal analysis, and the post-workout coach review include a free daily allowance. WonderGym Pro adds AI-built personalized plans, next-session weight targets, the muscle map, all 20 programs, and unlimited AI analysis. WonderGym Pro is an auto-renewable subscription.

WaveXP

WaveXP is the training companion for surfskaters — from your first push to your first bowl session, every step has a clear direction. CHARACTER GUIDES Flora, Eddie, Grace and Henry are the crew that rides along with you. The first time you open each page, they tell you in a line or two what it's for, then walk you through it one tap at a time. Pages you've already seen stay quiet, you can skip any guide, and you can replay them whenever you like. TRAINING MENUS BUILT FOR THE SPOT YOU'RE AT Pick a venue and how much time you have. WaveXP reads the terrain and your current skill level, then lays out a warm-up, a main set, and a challenge. At the park you log reps one-handed — press and hold to count up fast. Recording never interrupts the session. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Every session earns XP, carrying you from White Wave up to Black Wave. Streaks, weekly challenges, and guided milestones give you a reason to come back, and every one of them is worth celebrating. 130+ TRICKS AND A SKILL TREE Five difficulty tiers, each trick linked to tutorial videos. Mark what you want to learn, what you're working on, and what you've landed. The skill tree answers the question that stalls most riders: what do I need to land first? HONORS 167 tiles: 25 rank banners and 142 medals, spanning milestones, spots, gear, trick breadth, discipline, volume, depth, and community. Locked ones show what they look like too, because the wall is there to say "these are all waiting for you," not "this is all you have." Pick three to display on your profile. SPOTS Save the parks you ride. Terrain ratings at a glance, sorted by distance, so you know where to go before you leave the house. MY QUIVER Register your boards and set a daily driver. Enter your height and weight and the board picker tells you which decks in the catalogue actually fit you. Log which board you rode each session; the monthly recap shows the one you reached for most. Even boards you've sold stay in your collection history. WITNESS Landed something big? Show a QR code on the trick page and have a friend at the park scan it. Their name then rides on your trick card. FLOW SESSION Hit record at any spot and WaveXP logs your line, your runs, your lap times and an efficiency score, then hands you a map of the session. Pump track, skatepark or street, it all counts. Location is only read while you are recording and stops the moment you finish. TRAINING REMINDERS Based on when you usually skate, a gentle nudge before your usual slot. No anxiety, no spam. SHARE IT Turn any session or trick into a share card in one tap. Thirteen styles. Show off every wave you carve. Whether you just stepped on a board or you're lining up your first bowl, WaveXP turns every push into progress.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WaveXP at none against WonderGym's 3. WonderGym's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
