The best free workout tracker apps for iPhone
A good workout log should still feel useful after your first few weeks. That is when people start saving more routines, looking back at old sessions and adding exercises of their own. Here are nine iPhone workout trackers, with a practical view of who each one suits and what its App Store listing says about the free plan.
This guide is published by the team behind Mekimeki. We link to the relevant comparison pages and use the developers’ App Store listings for plan details.

How this list was ranked
The order reflects long-term use on the free plan. It is not a ranking of the best paid workout apps overall.
We look at the parts of a log people commonly rely on over time: routines, history, custom exercises, programming help and platform support.
App Store ratings can be useful context, but a short description of a plan is not a substitute for trying the logging flow yourself.
Every quoted line on this page is verbatim from that developer's own App Store description on the US storefront, checked 2026-09-09. Each listing is archived under that date.
The nine apps
1. Hevy
Hevy is a polished, widely used tracker with quick logging, exercise demonstrations and a social side. It is a sensible first app to try if you want a familiar all-rounder rather than a bare-bones log.
Hevy, in its own words:
HEVY PRO • Create unlimited routines • Get unlimited access to graph history • Create unlimited custom exercises
Hevy App Store description, US storefront, checked 2026-09-09
Worth knowing: The free plan has published limits around routines, graph history and custom exercises, so check those if your training is becoming more detailed.
2. Strong
Strong remains a very focused workout log. If you already know your session and mainly want to record each set quickly, its simple set-entry flow is still one of its best qualities.
Strong, in its own words:
The free version of Strong can save unlimited workouts, but is limited to 3 custom routines.
Upgrade to a Strong PRO subscription ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) for an unlimited number of routines and to unlock additional PRO features.
Strong App Store description, US storefront, checked 2026-09-09
Worth knowing: The free plan allows three custom routines. That can be enough for a simple split, but is worth checking if you rotate more sessions.
3. Mekimeki Mekimeki
Mekimeki keeps routines, history, custom exercises and multi-week blocks in one free app. It is a good fit if you want a straightforward personal log without an account or a social feed.
Worth knowing: It is newer than the larger apps, iPhone-only, and does not offer a community feed, Apple Watch app or cloud account.
4. StrengthLog
StrengthLog is an established, straightforward log with a notably generous free core. It is worth considering if you want to keep logging and building routines without a tight basic cap.
StrengthLog, in its own words:
Free Features: • Log an unlimited number of workouts. • No limits on how many workout routines you can create.
If you level up to a premium subscription, you'll gain access to more advanced statistics, our full library of training programs, and our most hardcore features.
StrengthLog App Store description, US storefront, checked 2026-09-09
Worth knowing: Premium adds its programme library and more advanced statistics. The app is primarily in English.
5. Boostcamp
Boostcamp is built around established training programmes. It is most useful when you want to follow a named programme as written instead of creating every session yourself.
Boostcamp, in its own words:
Free to start.
Boostcamp App Store description, US storefront, checked 2026-09-09
Worth knowing: Its listing says “Free to start” but does not explain the long-term free-plan boundary in detail.
6. Setgraph
Setgraph puts training charts and flexible ways to group exercises at the centre of the app. Its lifetime-purchase option may appeal if you prefer that to an ongoing subscription.
Setgraph, in its own words:
Unlock unlimited access with a Pro Membership.
A Lifetime Pro Membership can be purchased once without a subscription. A Pro Membership is also available with a monthly or yearly subscription.
Setgraph App Store description, US storefront, checked 2026-09-09
Worth knowing: Full access requires a purchase, and the listing does not spell out every free-plan limit.
7. JEFIT
JEFIT has a large exercise catalogue, including many machine variations, plus Android and web access. Those are useful advantages if you train across devices or in a well-equipped gym.
JEFIT, in its own words:
Upgrade to JEFIT Elite to unlock our most powerful, science-backed training tools designed to accelerate your results:
Monthly: $12.99 / month · Yearly: $69.99 / year (Save over 55%)
JEFIT App Store description, US storefront, checked 2026-09-09
Worth knowing: It is a more feature-dense app than a simple log, and its Elite plan is priced above many alternatives.
8. Alpha Progression
Alpha Progression is aimed at people who want suggested weights and reps, not just a record of their sessions. Its coaching-style approach suits a different need from a plain logbook.
Alpha Progression's listing does not state its free-tier limits, so this page does not claim them.
Worth knowing: The App Store listing does not give enough detail to confirm the free-plan limits or price.
9. Fitbod
Fitbod generates workouts around your equipment, goals and recovery. It is one of the better-known options if deciding what to train is your main problem.
Fitbod, in its own words:
After your free trial has ended, this app includes an auto-renewing subscription, which unlocks all premium workouts and features.
Fitbod App Store description, US storefront, checked 2026-09-09
Worth knowing: It is a subscription product after the trial, so it ranks lower in a guide focused on ongoing free use.
Free tier versus free trial
A free tier is available indefinitely; a free trial is a chance to evaluate a paid app before billing begins. Both can be useful, but they answer different needs.
Because workout history builds up over time, it helps to understand the plan before using an app as your main record.
Trial-based apps can be excellent choices. They simply sit separately from apps designed to remain usable without payment.
The verdict
For an established all-rounder, start with Hevy. Choose Strong for a focused, fast log; Boostcamp for a ready-made programme; and Fitbod for generated workouts. Mekimeki and StrengthLog are worth a look if you want a long-term free log.
The best choice is the one that matches how you train: your devices, your programme, the amount of guidance you want, and the features you expect to use regularly.
Questions people ask
Which workout tracker is really free with no paid tier?
On this list, Mekimeki has no paid tier. StrengthLog also offers generous free logging. The other apps publish a paid plan, a trial, or limits on parts of the free plan.
Are free workout tracker apps good enough for serious lifting?
Often, yes. A good free tracker can cover sets, reps, weight and your own plan. Paid plans are most useful when you want deeper analysis, a programme library or generated sessions.
What should I check before switching apps?
Check your current routines, custom exercises, recent working weights, history and the devices you use. Most apps do not import every past session, so it is useful to know what you want to carry across.
Why is Fitbod so low if people like it?
This guide ranks ongoing free use, not overall app quality. Fitbod is a strong option for generated workouts, but it becomes a subscription after its trial.
Do any of these apps work offline?
Offline behaviour varies and can change. Mekimeki works offline in the current version; check each developer’s documentation for the others.
