My PT Hub
My PT Hub fits a trainer who wants client records, programming, nutrition, scheduling and payments under one login. The free entry point allows a small test, while the 30-day trial gives time to assess the workflow. Watch owners should view it as a coaching platform that imports selected Apple Watch and Fitbit data, not as a standalone watch training app. The main buying decision is which client and automation limits match the coaching business, since several functions begin at Premium or higher.
- Free plan and 30-day trial are available.
- Works across web, iOS and Android.
- Apple Watch and Fitbit data can feed coaching records.
StrongLifts
StrongLifts suits someone who wants a prescribed barbell routine with progression handled inside the app. The beginner and intermediate templates give a clear starting point, while exercise substitutions and custom programs leave room to adjust the plan. Apple Watch users get set logging, rest alerts, and calculation tools on the watch. Budget for a subscription: there is no free plan, and only the yearly option carries a 7-day trial. Check platform needs carefully if you use a watch other than Apple Watch.
- Automatic progression responds to successful and failed sets.
- More than 100 exercises include videos and form guidance.
- Apple Watch logs sets and provides rest notifications.

Guided workout simplicity
StrongLifts provides scheduled barbell workouts and selects exercises, sets, reps and weights. Its automatic progression adds weight after successful sets, repeats weight after failures and deloads when needed. Apple reviewers repeatedly describe its interface and guided workouts as simple and easy to follow. My PT Hub supports custom workout creation, assignment and tracking, including AI-generated sessions, but the facts do not describe it as a simpler guided workout experience. StrongLifts wins this round on the stated simplicity of its focused workout flow.

Supported platforms
My PT Hub runs on Android, iOS and the web. StrongLifts runs on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, and its maker says workouts can sync between iOS and Android devices. The products cover different device sets rather than one having a clear overall advantage: My PT Hub includes browser access, while StrongLifts lists desktop operating systems. The facts do not establish which set better suits a buyer, so this round is a tie.
Support channels
My PT Hub provides a Zendesk help center, quick-start guide, live chat, email support and bookable support calls. StrongLifts directs users to contact support from within the app, and its help center provides step-by-step guides for purchases, cancellation, Apple Health, Health Connect and workout logging. My PT Hub offers more direct support routes, including live and scheduled contact, while StrongLifts centers support inside the app and documentation. My PT Hub wins on the number of stated support channels.

It also offers an optional Check-Ins AI add-on that summarizes progress and drafts replies, and Workouts AI can turn plain-language prompts or images into editable structured workouts. StrongLifts documents automated progression and deload rules, but no AI feature. My PT Hub wins because its facts include AI tools for workout creation and client communication, while StrongLifts has no stated AI offering.
