Strengths and weaknesses
Strong Workout Tracker
- One of the quickest loggers to use between sets
- Clean, distraction-free design
- Reliable history and personal record tracking
- Free plan limits saved routines
- Slower to add new features than newer rivals
Strong is the veteran of workout logging and still one of the fastest. The interface stays out of your way: pick a routine, log sets, and let the rest timer and previous numbers guide you. Its Apple Watch app is excellent. The free version limits how many routines you can save, so regular users will want Strong PRO. There is no social feed, which some lifters will see as a plus.

Peloton
- Excellent instructors and production quality
- Huge variety of class types and lengths
- Follow along on any bike, treadmill or mat
- Pricier than most workout apps
- Best metrics require Peloton hardware
Peloton's app has the most energetic class library in fitness. You get live and on-demand cycling, running, strength, yoga and meditation classes led by instructors with real personality, and you don't need Peloton hardware for most of them. Production quality is excellent. It costs more than most fitness apps, though, and the best metrics are tied to Peloton's own bikes and treads.
