Boostcamp review

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.
