9 Best Free Workout Apps of 2026

Nike Training Club is the free app that comes closest to a paid coaching subscription. Nike says it offers industry-leading workout programming and legit coaching for free, and Nike Members get the strength, conditioning, yoga, Pilates, recovery and mindfulness content at no cost. The structure is what sets it apart from other free apps: weeks-long programs for the gym or home tell you what to do each day, curated gym programs cover strength and conditioning, and whiteboard and trainer-led workouts are made for small spaces, travel and no equipment. Levels run from beginner to advanced. With an Apple Watch you can skip, pause and advance moves while watching heart rate and calories, and workouts sync to Apple Health. The gap is logging: it does not record sets and weights or suggest progression the way Hevy, Boostcamp or StrengthLog do, so lifters may pair it with a tracker. On-demand video classes are available in 12 listed countries, and NTC TV is US only.

Hevy is the free tracker to choose if you train in a gym and want to see your numbers climb. Its App Store listing describes it as free with no ads, and the free version covers the core job well: log weights, reps, duration and RPE, see last session's weights and reps next to every exercise, tag supersets, drop sets, warm-ups and failure sets, and let automatic rest timers run between sets. For structure, Hevy has a free library of full splits and single workouts, and you can follow friends and compare lifts in a social feed. Progress shows up as strength and PR graphs per exercise, alongside body weight, measurements and progress photos. The Apple Watch app logs sets and starts rest timers without your phone. Pro adds Hevy Trainer, which builds a program from your goal, experience and equipment, plus unlimited routines, custom exercises and your complete history. On the US App Store, Pro costs $23.99 a year or $74.99 once.

Boostcamp is the best free option if you want a proper strength program rather than a blank log. Its App Store listing calls it a free workout tracker and gym logger with more than 11,000 programs, and it says the library is free with no ads. That library includes 130+ coach-designed plans with progressions, periodization and deloads, and well-known programs such as nSuns 5/3/1, GZCLP, 5/3/1 Boring But Big, PHUL, PHAT and Reddit PPL. You can filter by goal, level and days per week, then log each session with RPE, RIR and estimated 1RM, a rest timer, a plate calculator and supersets. Plans are listed for full gyms, garage gyms or dumbbells at home, from 2 to 6 days a week. Boostcamp's website marks Auto Progression and the questionnaire-based Personalized Program as Pro features, and the App Store shows several Pro prices, so we list Pro pricing as pending. If you only want a log, Hevy is simpler.

ALO Wellness Club is the free pick for people whose home workouts lean toward yoga, Pilates and sculpt. The App Store listing says it is always free, with no subscriptions, no credit card and no catch: you create an account with an email and get access across phone, tablet and web. The library is large for a free app, with more than 4,000 classes and 300 programs, so you can follow a guided program instead of choosing a class each day. Yoga covers Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha, Restorative, Yin, beginner and prenatal styles, and the fitness side includes Pilates, strength, sculpt, cardio, HIIT, barre, dance and core. Classes can be sorted by style, difficulty, time and instructor and downloaded for offline use. The App Store also sells some named programs as one-off purchases, so not every program is included. It does not log sets and weights, so it is not a gym tracker.

FitOn is a free class app for people who want variety at home and a plan to tie it together. The App Store listing says fitness is always 100% free, no strings attached, and promises no subscription and no limits for workouts. Classes cover cardio, strength, HIIT, dance, yoga, Pilates and barre, with trainers such as Cassey Ho and Jeanette Jenkins, and you can browse by category, body part, length and intensity, down to 10-minute HIIT sessions. Personalized plans aimed at losing weight, building muscle, toning up or reducing stress add the structure, and you can join scheduled classes with a live leaderboard. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch and the web. FitOn PRO is optional and adds meal plans, 500+ recipes, unlimited offline downloads, premium music and real-time heart rate from Fitbit, Garmin or Samsung devices. The App Store shows several PRO prices, so we list the price as pending.

StrengthLog calls itself the most generous workout tracker, and its free list backs that up. The free version logs unlimited workouts with no ads, includes 600+ strength, cardio and mobility exercises with instructions and videos, and lets you create unlimited custom exercises and build your own routines and programs with linear progression. You can follow popular workouts and programs, plan sessions in a calendar, track PRs, volume and other statistics, and compare yourself with other lifters through Strength Levels. Practical gym tools are free too: a rest timer, a plate calculator, 1RM estimates and suggested PR warm-ups. Premium adds the complete program library for strength, bodybuilding, powerlifting and sports, double and triple progression, muscle heat maps and RPE and RIR logging. On the US App Store, Premium is $16.90 a month, $37.90 for 3 months or $109.00 a year, which is more than Hevy Pro or Strong PRO. Most people can train for free indefinitely.

Strong is a deliberately simple gym log. Its App Store listing says the free version can save unlimited workouts but is limited to 3 custom routines, which works if you run a fixed program such as a 3-day full body plan. Strong says it is optimized for progressive barbell routines such as Starting Strength or StrongLifts 5x5. Logging covers cardio and strength exercises with a growing library of animated videos, sets tagged as warm-up, failure or drop sets, supersets and an automatic rest timer. Progress shows as personal records, calculated one-rep max, total weight lifted and graphs for volume and 1RM. Warm-up and plate calculators help at the bar, and the Apple Watch app logs workouts with or without the iPhone. You can export all data as CSV. Strong PRO removes the routine cap for $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year in the US. There is no program library, so beginners who need a plan should look at Boostcamp or Nike Training Club.

JEFIT is a long-running gym planner that describes itself as a free workout tracker, gym log and strength training planner. Its strongest asset is the exercise library: more than 1,400 exercises with HD video instructions and animations. You can build custom workouts, download built-in bodybuilding programs, or start an instant workout by choosing your time, equipment and muscle focus, which helps when you train in a hotel or an unfamiliar gym. Logging covers supersets, custom rest timers and sets tagged as warm-up, working, drop or failure. Analytics are deep, with charts for volume, weekly sets per muscle and movement balance, automatic 1RM, a muscle map and a muscle recovery chart. The Apple Watch app live-syncs workouts with heart rate and calories. JEFIT Elite adds the Adaptive AI Coach, a premium analytics dashboard and an elite routine library for $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year on the US App Store. The app packs in more screens than Strong or Hevy.

The Planet Fitness App is free for everyone, not only gym members. Planet Fitness says both non-members and members can use its library of on-demand routines and workout videos, exercise tutorials, activity tracking and a personalized Fitness Profile. Routines are curated and trainer-led, you can browse workouts by type, time and focus area, and equipment tutorials explain how to use machines with good form, which helps people new to the gym floor. The Activity Tracker logs workouts, and the app connects to Apple Health. Members get more: a Crowd Meter to pick a quiet time, workout class sign-up, digital check-in with a Club Pass and partner discounts. The App Store lists the app for iPhone only. Compared with Nike Training Club, its programming is lighter, and it has no set-by-set logging like Hevy or Strong, so it works best as a free starter app or as a companion for Planet Fitness members.
