What Strong and Jefit are
Strong (official website, checked on October 19, 2026) presents itself as a digital workout logbook: set logging, supersets, custom exercises, CSV export, Apple Health integration, timers and charts. Its accounts are free and Strong PRO adds progress visualization (best sets, max 1RM, body fat). It is on iPhone, Android and Apple Watch. It does not mention automatic program creation.
Jefit (official website) combines logging, a custom plan builder, thousands of expert plans and an AI adaptive plan that analyzes your strength and fatigue to build next week. It has apps on the App Store and Google Play and logging from a watch. Its website does not detail what is free and what is paid.
What to look for in an alternative
- Only log or also plan? A logbook records what you decide; a plan decides for you.
- Do you train more than gym? A gym logbook does not coordinate your running or cycling.
- Free or paid? Logging is usually free; the plan, almost never.
Alternatives
- Alpha Progression: free logging and a generated plan in Pro.
- Hevy: another very polished logbook (comparison).
- Fitbod: gym sessions generated every day (comparison).
- EntrenAI: free workout logging and, if you want, a plan for 12 sports.
When NOT to pick EntrenAI
- If you only want the most polished, simple logbook and no plan interests you: Strong or Hevy.
- If you need a watch app of its own to log: EntrenAI does not have one.
- EntrenAI launched in May 2026.
When to pick it
If today you use a logbook and what you lack is someone deciding what to train tomorrow, with RIR progression and an adjustment for your sleep and fatigue, and maybe in more than one sport.
Strong's and Jefit's data comes from their public websites and changes over time.
