I’m on a kick, trying a few different strength training apps. I’ve been on the hunt for something that works well on an Apple Watch, builds workouts dynamically based on load history, has a good interface for exploring trends over time, and captures heart rate. Bonus points for syncing with Strava.

I started with FitBod, which came highly recommended and did a pretty decent job with workout generation, but didn’t capture heart rate, and I found the watch app and phone app regularly got out-of-sync. I then hopped over to Hevy, but they don’t have a workout generation feature.

Last I tried Peloton Strength+, which is nicely polished, but doesn’t incrementally increase weights or provide easy-to-see trends. There are a few others I looked at, like Strong, but were missing key features.

I finally found Train Fitness. It checked all the boxes, and then some. Both the watch app and phone app are top notch, the workout generator is best-in-class, it has auto workout and rep counting identification, and it takes heart rate seriously. It even syncs to Strava. I’m blown away by this app.
