Free workout tracker

A genuinely free workout tracker.

Alpha Lifts builds your plan, logs every set, and tracks your progress — and none of it sits behind a paywall. The only thing we charge for is an optional AI coach at $5 a month.

What "free" actually means here

Plenty of workout apps are free to download, then move the parts you actually rely on — your full history, real progress charts, programs — into a subscription. Alpha Lifts is the opposite: every core feature is free, and stays free.

  • A personalized training plan for your goal, schedule, and equipment
  • One-tap proven programs (StrongLifts 5×5, Starting Strength, GZCLP)
  • Unlimited workout logging and full history — no caps
  • Automatic progressive overload
  • A 151-exercise library with a photo, how-to, and verified video each
  • Progress analytics: insights, a body map, a PR timeline, strength standards
  • Periodization (opt-in mesocycles)
  • Cloud sync, backup, and CSV export

The only paid part is the optional AI coach ($5/month) — the one feature that costs us money to run.

Free tracker vs. a typical paid tier

Most trackers have a free tier, but commonly reserve the things that matter most for a subscription. Here's where Alpha Lifts lands.

Other apps vary and change their plans often — always check each one's current pricing. This reflects the common pattern of putting core features behind a subscription, not a claim about any specific app's plan today.

Looking for a free alternative to a paid app?

If you're weighing Alpha Lifts against apps like Strong, Hevy, or Jefit, the short version: Alpha Lifts is a serious, full-featured strength tracker that's free, and only charges for an optional AI coach. Free-tier limits on other apps change often, so check each one's current plan — but if you want "free and not stripped down," that's exactly what we built.

Questions

Free workout tracker FAQ

Is Alpha Lifts really free?
Yes. The whole tracker is free: the plan builder, unlimited logging and history, the 151-exercise library, and all progress analytics. The only paid feature is the optional AI coach at $5 a month.
Is there a free trial, or does the free version expire?
No trial and no expiry. The free features are free permanently, with no asterisk. The AI coach is the only paid part, and it's entirely optional.
Do the free features have limits, like a cap on workout history?
No. Logging and workout history are unlimited on the free tracker, and progress analytics aren't gated behind a paid tier.
Is Alpha Lifts a free alternative to apps like Strong or Hevy?
It's a free, full-featured strength tracker, so people use it that way. Pricing and free-tier limits on other apps change often, so compare their current plans — but Alpha Lifts keeps every core feature free, with only the optional AI coach paid.
What is the best free workout tracker?
For strength training, Alpha Lifts was built to be exactly that: a plan built for your goal and equipment, unlimited logging, a real 151-exercise library with photos and video, and progress analytics — all free. The optional AI coach is the only paid feature, so try it and judge for yourself.
How can a workout tracker be free?
The tracker costs little to run because your data lives on your device and only syncs when you sign in. The one feature with a real ongoing cost — the AI coach — is the only thing we charge for.
