Badger vs FitBoost

Badger is a training journal for lifters. Log your sets fast, run your program, and watch your strength climb. No account, no subscription, no ads, and it works fully offline. Your training data lives on your phone and stays yours. LOG WORKOUTS FAST Weight, reps, RPE and RIR in a couple of taps. Rest timer with per-exercise times, warm-up sets, supersets, per-set comments, and a plate calculator one tap away. Weight in kg and lbs, per exercise if you want. A TIMER THAT TALKS YOU THROUGH THE SET For planks, holds and carries, the set timer counts you in, warns you at 30 and 10 seconds, and calls out the time as it runs down. Pick a female or male voice, or turn it off. A running set shows on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, and keeps speaking with the screen off. START TRAINING TOMORROW Proven programs are already in the app, with their progression written in: StrongLifts 5x5, Starting Strength, GZCLP, 5/3/1 Boring But Big, nSuns 531LP, Madcow 5x5, Push/Pull/Legs and Upper/Lower. Pick one and train, or build your own from scratch. RUN YOUR PROGRAM Build routines with multiple days, rep ranges, and predefined sets. A slot can carry a progression rule, written as a sentence you read: all sets met, add 2.5 kg; missed three sessions in a row, drop 10%. Every number in it is a chip you can tap. Badger keeps a training max per lift, prescribes sets as a percentage of it, and can run a day as a cycle of weeks, so 5/3/1 is written once instead of four times. The weight it proposes already accounts for your plates, your bar and your machines' real steps, and you can type your own over it. A/B rotation, scheduled days, alternatives for busy equipment, deload and plateau detection are all there and all optional. TRACK PROGRESS AND PRS Automatic personal records for every exercise type, not just weight and reps. Strength graphs, weekly volume by muscle group, a training heatmap, and a muscle coverage map. OPTIONAL APPLE HEALTH SYNC Optional Apple Health sync, off by default: save finished workouts to Health as strength training sessions, bring weigh-ins from your smart scale into the body tracker, and see an end-of-set heart rate on every logged set, from a watch that saves heart rate to Apple Health, with effort trends per exercise. Each is its own switch, and your data never leaves your phone. EVERY GYM, EVERY MACHINE Track the gyms you train at and the machines in them. Machine-scoped history, PRs, and setup notes, so the numbers you see match the equipment in front of you. SHARE WHAT YOU DID A finished workout shares as a card Badger draws for it: the date, your hero number, a line per exercise, in your own theme and accent. A routine shares either as a picture or as a file that carries the whole program, rules and percentages included. Your gym's name and your weights stay off unless you turn them on for that one share. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Import your history from FitNotes, Strong, Hevy, or StrongLifts. Export everything to CSV anytime. Your log backs itself up to your own iCloud, with an optional Google Drive copy for moving to another phone. Everything in Badger today is free, with no caps on routines or history. If paid extras ever appear, they will be new things. A feature you already rely on will not be taken away and sold back to you. BUILT LIKE A JOURNAL A clean field-journal design with light and dark themes and your choice of accent color. 350+ exercises with illustrations and technique notes, plus your own custom exercises, categories, and equipment. No account required. No subscription. No ads. Works offline.

FitBoost is a training log for strength and cardio that turns your history into a concrete answer: how much to lift next. ■ A coach inside every workout Finish a set, log how hard it was, and your next set's weight is set for you. When fatigue starts costing you reps, it tells you to stop, and rest times adjust to how hard that last set was. The more you train, the more it learns your own stopping point and how you rate effort. ■ Apple Watch and Garmin Finish a set on your wrist and pick the effort. The rest timer starts, and a tap on your wrist says when it's time to go. 41 Garmin watch models log sets and rest from the wrist too. ■ Strength and running in one app Home opens with today's plan; Stats and Coach split into Strength, Running and Body. Track on phone or watch for splits, elevation and grade-adjusted pace. After a hard leg day, quality runs become easy runs. Repeat routes become courses to race your past self, shared by link, QR code or file. ■ Movement assessment Camera tests for mobility, fitness, jumps, bar speed and running form, with measurement error, change, left–right difference and sourced research ranges. Video stays on your device. ■ Share studio Design runs and lifts for Instagram stories: 26 layouts filled with this record; metric, word, pin and photo stickers; a font and color per label; stickers behind the person. Save to Photos, post to your story, or import GPX/TCX runs. ■ Free muscle recovery map and pain notes A body map shows how recovered each muscle is from recent training. On days you'd hit something still recovering, the home screen tells you first. Log pain and the lifts that use that muscle get lighter, with substitutes suggested. ■ Your routines go up on their own Start a routine and today's weights and reps come from your last sessions. Hit the top of your rep range and it goes up; miss it and it holds; miss twice and it eases off. Each kind of equipment uses its own step, and after a long break you come back gently. ■ Strength balance Compares your squat, bench press, deadlift, overhead press and barbell row against typical ratios. If one is lagging, it suggests an extra set or an accessory for your routine. ■ My gym and plate math Add your bar and the plates you own to see what goes on each side and in what order. Suggested weights snap to loads you can actually build, in kg or lb. ■ Your records are free and unlimited Workout records have no cap. No account needed, and your log stays on your device. iCloud keeps your iPhone and iPad in sync for free, and a backup file moves your log to another device. The free plan includes up to 3 routines and 5 custom exercises. ■ Train with your coach Pick a date range and send your trainer a workout report. Trainers keep each client's log separate from their own. ■ It works out your next load Completed sets of 12 reps or fewer feed Epley, Brzycki and Lombardi estimates, and we take the median. Log RIR and the reps you had left sharpen it further. ■ 1,600+ exercises, every one with a guide Every exercise carries setup, execution, breathing and precautions. Filter by muscle group and equipment to find what you need. ■ Five languages Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. FitBoost PRO adds auto progression, a personal 1–15 rep load curve, the in-workout coach, learned targets, strength balance fixes, plateau detection, gym-ready loads and a weekly report, with unlimited routines and custom exercises.
