Your training partner that actually builds the workout. FullAthlete generates a personalized strength, power, or endurance session in seconds — tuned to your equipment, training age, and goals — then adjusts your loads and reps automatically as you progress. The rules that decide your session are documented and deterministic: same inputs, same session, every time. No templates, no black box. WORKOUTS THAT ADAPT TO YOU • Full sessions generated across Strength, Power, and Endurance • Loads and rep targets that progress automatically as you improve • Full Body, Push/Pull/Legs, or drill into specific muscles • Built-in rest timers and per-set logging TRAIN, THEN COMPETE • 60-second max-rep challenges against other athletes • Leaderboards split by ability level: beginner, intermediate, advanced • Film a short attempt, have it verified by other athletes, climb the field • Personal challenges and badges that track themselves from your training • Follow athletes and see their PRs and streaks BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY • Weekly training plan with a streak tracker • Personal records tracked automatically across every lift • A coach that reads your equipment, injuries, and goals before writing a single session FullAthlete is for lifters who want a program that thinks, and a leaderboard that ranks them against their own level.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Full Athlete at every 2 days against openGym's every 6 days. openGym's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
