How to choose a workout tracker
Testing a weightlifting log: enter a familiar session with a
barbell lift and a machine lift, including warm-up and working sets.
Correct one set mid-session, then find the previous weight and reps
for each exercise. Check whether the progress view shows the trend
you use to adjust your next session. If you train at more than one
gym, repeat the machine lift at a second location and check whether
its previous values and records reflect that equipment.
Logging a plan you already follow: compare routine limits,
access to your history and how easily you can repeat a session. Lightweight, Hevy
and Strong let you build reusable routines or templates. Boostcamp
combines a tracker with coach and community programs; JEFIT also
combines logging with a workout-plan library. Fitbod generates
sessions from your goals, recovery and available equipment.
Choosing a free workout tracking app: count the routines you
actually rotate through and check which charts stay available over
time. Lightweight includes four routines and every standard chart
range. Hevy includes four routines but limits free statistics to
three months; this is a chart limit, not deletion of your workout
log. Strong allows three templates with access to workout history,
while its exercise charts require Pro.
Connecting ChatGPT or Claude: Lightweight includes both
connections for free, with no Lightweight Pro subscription required.
Choose whether each assistant can analyze your training history and,
separately, create saved routines. Your plan’s routine and advanced
analysis limits still apply, as do the AI service’s own plan and usage
limits. Hevy’s official ChatGPT connection is free too.
See what Lightweight’s AI
connections can do.
Tracking workouts separately at each gym: distinguish a saved
equipment list from the history used to compare your lifts. Fitbod
lets you save gym locations with different equipment. Hevy supports
gym tags and recommends separate custom exercises named for a gym or machine when you want
to keep machine progress separate. Lightweight uses the selected gym
automatically for machine and cable Previous values in Smart mode;
portable barbell and dumbbell history can travel between gyms.
See how Lightweight matches
workout history by gym.
About the apps
Lightweight
A workout logger for lifters whose training moves between gyms.
Smart matching prefers the current routine and keeps machine and
cable history inside the selected gym; if that gym has no matching
history, Previous stays empty. Machine PRs are gym-specific by
default. The scope is the exercise at a gym, not an individual
physical machine. Smart matching is free at every selected gym;
reusable gym-specific routine variants and the explicit Same gym
matching modes are free at two saved gyms, with Pro extending
that access. Four routines, seven custom exercises, full workout
history and all standard chart ranges are free.
The gym directory supports equipment and access filters, day-pass
details and routine-fit sorting. Workouts build a Gym Passport and
permanent status. Friends can see one another training live, start
the same routine with their own previous values, or Train together
while each keeps a personal log. Data Lab adds custom statistics
and charts with Pro.
Boostcamp
A workout tracker centered on coach and community programs, with
multi-week progression, RPE/RIR logging and custom program building.
Fitbod
Generates workouts from goals, training history, recovery, available
equipment and session length; saved workouts can also be repeated.
Its My Plan location selector supports multiple equipment profiles,
such as a home gym and a commercial gym. That describes which
equipment a generated workout can use; it does not establish
gym-specific machine-record comparisons.
Hevy
A cross-platform logger with routines, progress charts, a workout feed,
profiles, widgets and the ability to save another athlete's routine.
Gym tags identify where you trained; its machine-progress guide
recommends separately named custom exercises when gym equipment
should have separate histories.
JEFIT
Combines workout logging with an exercise library, adaptive plans,
progress analytics, community features and watch support.
Strong
A workout logger with templates, exercise history, charts, CSV export,
workout sharing and Apple Watch support.

Lightweight’s free limits follow its current
feature reference and its
ChatGPT and Claude
connection guides. A free Lightweight connection does not include
a subscription to either AI service. The
US App Store
is the source for its current subscription offer. No current billing
period was independently confirmed, so this revision makes no numerical
Lightweight price comparison. Boostcamp’s public plan page gives
billing periods, but its US store catalogue does not map prices to
periods clearly enough for this row. Fitbod’s figures are the USD
plans in its subscription guide; JEFIT’s US store description confirms
its monthly and annual figures. Hevy’s US catalogue lists two monthly
prices; the table shows its period-labelled annual listing. Strong’s
monthly and annual figures are those explicitly stated in its US store
description; multiple lifetime offers are omitted. Promotions, legacy
plans, purchase channel and regional storefronts can differ, and a
catalogue listing does not establish eligibility. A dash means the exact
behaviour was not verified in these sources; it is not a claim that an app
cannot do it. Product names and trademarks belong to their owners;
Lightweight is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
