Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Workout Timer at 4.7 against Personal training's 1.0. Workout Timer also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). Personal training's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
