I searched and didn’t see any posts since ‘17/18 so apologies if I missed…

As the post states, looking for a fitness app to log workouts but also one with an activity tracker for non-workouts (i.e. read 15 min, journal, etc.).

I’ve used Trainerize when I had a trainer, but now operating solo and have used “JEFIT” since. It’s alright but wanted to see what you all may be using.

Thanks in advance

I have used JEFIT a ton and really like it.

I have used Strong and like that too.

Lately I have just been keeping a notebook because I get distracted when I am on my phone.

I use Strong. It's simple and I like the tracking. I may be giving Juggernaut AI a try next year when I focus in on strength training more.

I’ve been using Strong for years. I guess it works well enough because I haven’t had the urge to go looking for anything else.

ETA: for fitness stuff I wear a Garmin Vivo Active 3 and just use the activity tracking in the Garmin connect app.

Juggernaut AI

I used it for one cycle, at a 50/50 split (bodybuilding/powerlifting). I really enjoyed it. I love the selection of exercises, and the ability to swap out if you’re just sick to death of something.

It’s a lot of volume. Ahem… a lot. It also takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The powerlifting program is recommended for those that are short on time.

One of the main reasons I stopped was because I have a home gym and some of the lower hypertrophy stuff, like leg press, wasn’t available to me. Doing high bar squats for volume after comp squats sucked.

I have used JeFit in the past, and Stronglifts when I was doing 5x5.

And since we're on the subject of apps, are there any nutrition apps out there that allow for barcode scanning of foods without paying a subscription, or a reasonable subscription price? I started using MyFitnessPal again a few weeks ago, and the monthly price is $20, or an annual price of $80 if you pay up front. Surely there is something out there in the $5 a month range.

I use Hevy for tracking workouts & MacroFactor for tracking macros. Boostcamp is another good one with some pre loaded workouts.

$71 for annual subscription to use MacroFactor. Worth it. The free ones, if there’s still any available at all, are shite.

Fitbod is pretty good for fitness apps. Like $35-40 a year. Can link to Strava to if you do any running/biking/walking or whatever.

Will program workouts based off equipment you have and what your goals are or you can put whatever program you are running in by building your own workout from scratch & save it...

Best thing is it tracks everything you lift and gives you weekly, monthly & yearly recaps
