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.

This gym companion app gives a two week trial to test it out—unlike many other apps here— so that’s an automatic bonus. Besides that, this app has a wide range of exercises, probably the widest range I have seen in any app. For example, the hip thrust has a variety of variants. This app actually has quite a few of those variants such as hip thrust with the Smith machine, the barbell, single leg, dumbbell. With a lot of other apps, you’d have to insert them manually. If an exercise doesn’t exist in their database, you can add it manually. So, it does allow customization. (You’d be surprised at how many apps do not allow customization.) The database of exercises is balanced—by that I mean there are plenty of women-centric and men-centric exercises. I asked the exercise wizard for a booty and leg focussed workout, and it matched 90% of my personal trainer’s plan! Incredible! Impressive! I think the price is very fair for the flexibility, the features, and the algorithms. It’s definitely the best AI gym app I’ve come across.

Best gym app

Even after 6 months at the gym I was still wondering around trying to figure out which machine to use, how to use it correctly and not mix up back exercises with chest etc. I was recommended this app via womens fitness suppport group on fb and it has been a complete game changer! I’ve created myself a 4 day plan and have multiple exercises in each category, there’s a video to remind you what to do/correctly. It tracks the weight you can do on each machine so you don’t have to struggle to remember. I’m honestly so greatful for this app! It has improved my confidence so much and I feel like I can master any machine now where as before if I couldn’t work it out from the diagrams on the side of the machines I’d walk away. Take a bow - you’ve created an amazing app that is helping so many people.

Great, clean, simple app—helpful service

I have been using this for 3 years after spending a while trying to find something that was easy and intuitive enough to use on a regular basis and that doesn’t take long to enter your reps and get on with a workout. A lot of other apps had really busy interfaces with too much stuff and too many choices and promises of AI bells and whistles. Alpha has just what you need and shows exercise videos which can be helpful if trying something new . Also their customer service is really responsive so on the 1-2 occasions I experienced a glitch they emailed back and asked for screenshots and resolved it. Highly recommended

Honestly this app is soo helpful. It’s got amazing features, such as being able to create your own workout plan depending on the amount of days you workout, what your experience is, etc - and it creates all of the exercises for you. You can even neglect/focus on certain muscle groups - such a good feature. There are 400+ exercises on here, all with videos on how to perform them & detailed instructions, so super helpful for new gym users. It’s also so good to track what weights/reps you use so that you can make sure that you are making progress each time. Super easy to use and some brilliant features.
