Numerous scientific studies have shown that structured strength and physical conditioning exercises can reduce the risk of injuries by over 50%! Get Set – Train Smarter is the result of a collaboration between the International Olympic Committee, the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center, and several Norwegian and international sports federations. The target group includes anyone involved in sports and physical activity, from young and adult athletes and their coaches to recreational exercisers and fitness enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. Get Set – Train Smarter was created to help prevent sports injuries by providing the most effective and evidence-based workout routines for your needs. All exercises are presented through videos, supported by short descriptions of how to perform the exercise correctly.

Verdict
Get Set and Metric Lift Strength Training both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 53% of Metric Lift Strength Training's written reviews are positive against 17% of Get Set's. Metric Lift Strength Training also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (45 vs 5). Get Set's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metric Lift Strength Training sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Get Set asks for nothing beyond the download.
Get Set holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metric Lift Strength Training has 45 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Get Set's written reviews are positive against 53% of Metric Lift Strength Training's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Get Set ships an update every 5 months, Metric Lift Strength Training every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
