1. 5/5Phenomenal app. The best there is!!!

   This is a tremendous product that just keeps getting better and better. Additionally, the support and service from the StrongLifts team is outstanding! I’ve been using this app for many years, and it does exactly as promised. It does the thinking for you and allows you to focus your time and energy on lifting and getting a better workout. I have been lifting for more than 40 years and I received daily emails from the StrongLifts team that are both educational and inspirational. I just can’t recommend this app enough. Even after using the app for many years I signed up for the one year subscription last year because of all the flexibility, it allows you. Not only flexibility in regards to the workouts that are provided but in customizing your own workouts, so that you have everything in one place to include workout history, notes and your next workout planned and ready to go. if you’re trying to decide between the subscription or the lifetime membership, I would recommend saving money and going with a lifetime membership. This app is just that comprehensive and will serve you for many many years to come.

2. 5/5All You Need

   Bottom line up front, this app is all you need. It’s obvious it was made by someone that actually lifts. The interface is clean and workflow is set up in such a way that maximizes the weight moved as efficiently as possible. No more endless typing in sets, reps, and weights. You just tap and move on to the next. You literally don’t have to think. This lets you stay focused on moving weight. All that said this app has plenty of customization. If you can build a program with pencil and paper or a spreadsheet, then you can pretty much build it in stronglifts. There are plenty of 5x5 variations built in with each having multiple templates. You shouldn’t get bored. Your workout data is stored locally or can optionally be synced with the cloud. You can also export the data and do all kinds of spreadsheet metric and chart analysis. Every exercise has both text and video instructions of how to perform with proper form. There are also plenty of supplemental exercises to utilize to work around injuries or issues. In addition to being a great app, you also basically get a coach in your pocket. You can choose to receive Mehdi’s daily email, which I highly recommend, that covers all aspects of lifting with actual reference scientific studies from his decades of experience. He will also personally respond to questions and offer advice. Overall, subscribe or buy; you won’t have regrets.

3. 5/5Great Workout App For All Levels

   I have had the StrongLifts app for a year and recently went to the Lifetime Pro version. As a beginner to intermediate, depending on the lift, I needed a solution that provided workouts without referring to a book. Previously, I used a Women’s Health strength training book and found it frustrating to flip through pages and search for online videos to understand the form. This app solved all those issues by consolidating everything in one place. Setting it up was user-friendly, and I love that it shows the weights to put on the bar, along with exercise videos for reference—all within the app. It tracks the workout time and suggests when to set up equipment and when to rest. You can also customize your workouts: add more reps, adjust weights, or relax before the next set if needed—a helpful little reminder. Additionally, whenever I had questions about my workouts, I emailed Mehdi and received a response within two or three days. Mehdi also sends out daily emails if you subscribe. While not all are relevant to me, reading them keeps me focused, and I learn something new each day.

4. 5/5Best app, best customer service, no excuses!

   I have followed Mehdi on and off for at least 10 years. He is consistently great and gives great advice. That’s why I was thrilled when I reconnected with his content this year and saw he had an app! I paid for the lifetime pro version after just one session and I can’t say enough about it. It makes everything about lifting so much easier. It eliminates any excuses people may have about tracking, progressing, deloading etc. The Apple Watch integration is phenomenal and makes workouts even easier! I don’t have to use my phone while lifting and everything can be tracked right from my watch even which plates I need to use to get the correct weight on the bar! It’s amazing. I had an issue with the watch app and couldn’t figure out if it was my watch or a bug after updating to iOS 18. Emailed customer support and Mehdi immediately replied with troubleshooting steps and followed up on the outcome. It turned out to be my watch and the app works perfectly after I restarted my watch. The customer service experience was incredible. I wish I could give this app 6 stars!

5. 5/5Good app, always room for improvement

   I love the 5x5 program. It was the first program I went to when I got into the gym years ago when all it was was the original strong lifts 5x5 program. Now I’m still using it and paying for it for the passed year even though I’ve switched out of the 5x5 program. Lots of improvements they have made to the app, I wish the ranking was out of 10, cuz I would give an 8/10. The changes they have been making to the app have been great and make the app more versital and marketable to a wider range of people… the only reason it’s three stars is because there is always room for improvement. Most current version has some bugs, sometimes even with progressive overload off my weights will go up in weird increments of 2 or 3 lbs randomly I’ll have to adjust. Other than that, the rep counting system could be changed to better suit other programs with say a rep range from 4-6 normally I just select the mildly ground 5 but sometimes I feel good and can squeeze out an extra rep which I may forget about later, but that one rep will change the total for the weight I lifted for given muscle group for the week. This being said a total volume counter for each muscle group would help this app maintain its position as the “top app of 2021”.. more than just what weight you’re lifting calculating volume per muscle group is extremely beneficial for progressive overload, adding 2.5 lbs to the bar every time you lift will only happen for so long before you hit that wall. This is where volume comes in… finally there are ALOT of exercise options to chose from which is great, expanding on this would be cool. Also some of the videos on form are less than ideal. The one for bent over row comes to mind but I could be wrong. I know there was more than one where I thought to myself, yea I’m not doing it like that… all and all, a good app and I will continue premium membership
