Alpha Progression

Choose Alpha Progression if you want structured strength programming and detailed lifting logs on a phone. Its free tier is useful for recording sessions and browsing a large exercise video library, while Pro supplies adaptive plans, set-by-set guidance and deeper analytics. The tradeoff is clear for watch users: the software offers phone notifications rather than a dedicated Apple Watch or Wear OS workout app. Check the free feature list and yearly trial conditions before subscribing, especially if you need charts or plan generation.

Unlimited free workout logging with sets, reps, RIR, notes and rest periods.
795 exercises include instructional videos from certified trainers.
Pro generates editable plans and recommends weights and repetitions.
