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.

The best training tracker I’ve found for using evidence-based hypertrophy
Roger_ZA
I’ve been using Apha Progression for two mesocycles of a full body programme built on evidence-based principles. The progressive overload logic is excellent, it tracks RIR, auto-suggests load increases, and handles the rep-then-weight progression model properly. The CSV export function is underrated, I use it to run end of mesocycle analysis with AI to spot progression trends and inform the next training block. The warm up set configuration saves real time in sessions. Solid, no-nonsense app for anyone training seriously.

It does what it says!

I’ve been using the app for just a week so I’m settling in to adding all my data. I have been feeling fantastic after each workout the combination of suggested exercises definitely work! I am definitely going to stay the course for 3 months and then post my next review. It would be great to have some warm up routines built into the app that you can do before a workout for about 5-10mins just to wake up and activate your brain and your body😃

My experience with Alpha Progression
Lihle Sanele
I have been using alpha progression for 5 months and recently when I have the app running for a workout it would not allow me to record a set, when I click the “tick “button it goes back to the set I completed and won’t allow me to complete that exercise so that I can move on so I have to occasionally delete the app and reinstall it but that gets tiring. Overall I love the app but it’s just this problem that demotivates me from using it.
