Beat last time, every set. Gym Commitment is a workout log for people who lift. Your sets open with last time's numbers, so you know what to beat. Then watch every lift climb, week after week. Start a session, tick your sets, finish. Free to start, and no account needed. IN THE GYM • Tick a set and your rest timer starts, in the app and on your lock screen • After a few sessions of a lift, a new best gets a trophy on the set that beat it • Warm up, drop and failure sets, and supersets • 1,872 exercises, almost all with a form clip you can watch mid workout, plus the muscles each one works • Exercises as pictures: tap one to add it, or switch to a list • No routine? Tap Start and add exercises as you go • Filter by muscle, equipment, or what your gym has • Gym Time reminders on the days you pick, so the habit sticks A ROUTINE, YOUR WAY • 34 routines built from research, with a free one for every situation: full body, upper lower, push pull legs, dumbbells only, machines only, home with no kit, 30 minutes, over 40, glutes, fat loss, cardio base • Build your own, day by day, exercise by exercise • A friend or trainer builds one and sends you a link A PLAN FROM YOUR OWN AI It asks before it plans. Connect your own Claude or ChatGPT once, with a code from the app (Claude's free plan works; ChatGPT needs Plus). It asks about your goals one question at a time, writes the plan with you, and sends it to your phone. Open it, see the sets by muscle on a body, save it, follow it. We don't keep your chat. We keep only the finished plan, so it can reach your phone. WHAT YOU SEE AFTER • Sets by muscle on a body figure, for any routine before you start and for your week so far • Every lift on a graph, with personal records • Weekly, monthly and yearly reports that call out the body parts you skipped • A weight log, with your weigh-ins from Apple Health once you switch that on in Settings • Progress photos kept with the session they came from ON YOUR WRIST • With your iPhone nearby, start your next routine day from your Apple Watch, or choose another day or Freestyle • Tick sets, run the rest timer, move to the next exercise and see your time in the gym • Finish from your wrist, and feel a buzz when you beat a personal best • Sets you tick on the wrist are saved on your phone YOUR DATA • No account needed.

Lifting isn’t the hard part. The planning is. Sabel handles the plan. You do the work. Pick one of four programs: GZCLP or 5/3/1 for Beginners to get stronger, or Full Body or Push Pull Legs to build muscle. Enter where you’re starting, or tap “I do not know” to start light. Sabel works out every session’s weights, sets and reps. Tap each set as you lift. Finish, and your next weight is already planned. Miss a day and the plan waits for you. TRAIN AND KEEP TRACK • Follow any of the four included programs. • Record sets, reps and weights, with exercise substitutions when needed. • Use rest timers and supported Lock Screen controls. • Review completed workouts and pick up an unfinished session. • Export complete file backups and import them into an empty app. • Optionally back up to your own private iCloud account and restore from it. • Optionally record workouts in Apple Health on iOS 26 or later. LOG YOUR FOOD • Search more than 22,000 foods from Livsmedelsverket and Open Food Facts. • Log by the portion, like 1 egg or 1 bar, or by the gram. • Quick add, recent foods, favourites and copy yesterday's meal. • Type your own calorie, protein, carbs and fat target. • Your food log stays on your iPhone and is never included in iCloud backup. APPLE HEALTH — OPTIONAL Sabel uses HealthKit to connect to Apple Health. With your permission, it saves strength-training workouts, heart rate and active energy, and reads heart rate and active energy to show BPM and workout summaries. Live heart rate requires a supported paired sensor. Recording is off by default and requires iOS 26 or later with Health support. You can plan and log workouts without connecting. YOUR TRAINING. YOUR DATA. Train offline with your workout log stored on your device. Export your training data and choose whether to connect Apple Health. iCloud backup is optional and off until you turn it on in Settings. It keeps your training in your own private iCloud account, and Apple Health data is never included. No app account is required. This version is free to download and use, with no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sabel at none against Gym Commitment's 3. Sabel also leads on ads (none vs shown). Gym Commitment's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
