Choose Strong if…
You want the most battle-tested minimal gym logger, standalone Watch logging, and you don't track cardio in the same app.
Choose Reysa if…
You want strength and cardio in one place, a plan for the week rather than just a diary, and a cheaper subscription.

Where Strong is stronger
- A decade of polish on the simplest possible logging flow — if you want zero ceremony between you and the next set, Strong is the benchmark.
- The Apple Watch app logs workouts fully independently — you can leave the phone in the locker.
- Huge, satisfied install base (vendor reports 5M+ users) and a 4.9 rating across ~108K US reviews.
- Actively developed again: the 6.0 release (April 2025) rebuilt the Watch app and sync engine after a quieter stretch.
Where Reysa is stronger
- Cardio: Strong is strength-only in practice; Reysa logs runs and sets in one training log.
- Planning: Strong records what you did; Reysa is built around planning the week and comparing planned vs. actual.
- Price and privacy: Reysa premium is $2.99/month against Strong's $4.99, and the free tier logs unlimited workouts fully locally — no account required.
