Stop guessing. Pro builds your plan and recommends weight and reps for every set, adapting to how strong you are today. Free logging, no account. 14-day free trial.
Alpha Progression tells you exactly what to lift. Every set, every workout. Build your plan in a minute, then follow weight and rep recommendations that adapt to how strong you are today.
Most gym apps only record what you did. Alpha Progression plans what you should do next: a science-based training plan built for your goal, your experience and your equipment, and a progression recommendation for every single set.
App of the Day on the App Store, twice. 4.9 stars from 40,000+ lifters. 25 million workouts logged.
YOUR PLAN, GENERATED
Pick your goal, the days you can train, how long you have and which muscles to prioritise. The plan generator builds a complete plan around the equipment in your gym: split, exercises, sets and rep ranges. Beginners and advanced lifters get fundamentally different plans, because they need different things. Every detail stays editable, or build your own plan from scratch. Need just one session? The workout generator creates a one-off workout whenever you want.
A RECOMMENDATION FOR EVERY SET
Before each set, the app shows the weight and reps to go for, based on your previous workouts and what you have already done today. Recommendations shift from set to set because fatigue is real: set 3 is not set 1. Keep hitting them and they keep climbing. Progressive overload without spreadsheets or guesswork.
LOG FAST, STAY IN THE ZONE
Weight, reps and RIR in two taps, with your notes and your last sets in view. Rest timer as a Live Activity, so the countdown and your next set sit on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. Supersets, dropsets, bodyweight, assisted and timed exercises. Works fully offline.
795 EXERCISES, REAL VIDEOS
Every exercise filmed in a real gym with certified trainers. No stock footage, no animations. Setup, execution and cues for each one, plus an exercise evaluation of how well it builds muscle. Filter by muscle, equipment and compound vs isolation. Missing an exercise? Add your own, with a photo from your library or the camera, or copy an existing one as a starting point.
SEE WHAT IMPROVED
After every workout you see every record you beat: weight, reps, volume, estimated 1RM and 10RM, best per muscle group. Charts for strength, volume, sets per muscle, workouts per week, bodyweight and measurements. Streaks and achievements keep you showing up.
AND MORE
Warm-up calculator: warm-up sets are added automatically, scaled to the exercise, your first working set and the weights you have. Plate calculator: exactly which plates to load, or the closest weight below if your plates don't add up. Multiple gyms, each with its own equipment and weights; switch with one tap and your recommendations adjust. Periodization and deloads: ramp sets and effort (RIR) week by week and schedule deloads. Share plans with friends or coaching clients. Export everything as CSV. kg and lb, even mixed. An optional account syncs all your devices. Syncs with Apple Health.

I’ve been using Alpha Progression for over a year, and it has completely transformed the way I train. This is hands-down the best app I’ve found for serious progressive overload. It strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and structure — you can build your own weekly programs, let the app generate them intelligently, or even jump straight into quick ad-hoc workouts when you want something more spontaneous.The attention to detail is outstanding. Deload sessions are calculated automatically, supersets and drop sets are simple to set up, and even warm-up sets are pre-calculated (with the option to adjust them if needed). With over 800 exercises built in, plus the ability to create your own with photos, chances are you’ll never run out of variety. Duplicating exercises is also easy, which is especially handy for gym setups with multiple machines targeting the same muscle groups.Tracking progression is thorough — you can log RIR, periodisation, and more — but what really sets Alpha Progression apart is its suggested reps and weights feature. Unlike other apps, it takes into account the actual weights you have available, and even lets you switch between lb and kg per exercise or machine. That means no unrealistic recommendations, only practical, tailored suggestions that make sense for your gym. And the suggestions for reps, weight and RIR are pretty spot on once you’ve used the app for a while.Alpha Progression has become an indispensable part of my training routine. For anyone serious about structured, progressive strength training, this app is as good as it gets.

Best gym tracking app!
Jack Ennis
I’ve been really impressed with Alpha Progression. The AI recommendations are genuinely useful and take all the guesswork out of progressing your training. It tells you when to increase the weight or adjust your reps, so you can focus on lifting instead of constantly wondering what to do next.The app is also incredibly easy to navigate. Everything feels smooth, the interface is clean and modern, and the features are well thought out. Logging workouts is quick and simple, which makes sticking to a training routine much easier.

The app is incredibly well-designed, intuitive, and packed with features that make tracking workouts simple and motivating. It’s rare to find an app where the team behind it is this committed to making continuous improvements. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their training.
