Best Free Workout Tracker for GLP-1 Users (Honest 2026 Roundup)

How this roundup was put together

Checked 3 September 2026.

Every claim below comes from the app's own website, on the date shown, and nothing else. That constraint is deliberate, and it produced an uncomfortable result: for two of these apps, the free-tier limits that circulate widely in third-party "best of" posts were not stated on the vendor's own pages when we looked. Rather than repeat numbers we could not verify, we say so.

What a GLP-1 user is actually trying to see

Worth naming the requirement before comparing tools, because it is not the same as a general lifter's.

The published body-composition substudies of GLP-1 therapy report lean mass declining alongside fat mass — in SURMOUNT-1, roughly a quarter of the weight lost was lean tissue, in the placebo arm as well as the drug arm. Whatever that means for any individual is a clinical question. What it means for record-keeping is concrete: a log that shows only body weight tells you half the story, and a log that shows only lifts tells you the other half.

The practical test for an app, then, is whether strength work, body weight, and (if relevant) doses land on one timeline you can actually look at.

Separately, the CDC's adult guidance — 150 minutes of moderate activity a week plus at least two days of muscle-strengthening work covering all major muscle groups — is the floor any of these tools should make easy to hit and easy to see.

FitNotes

Android only. Free, no ads, no paid tier.

FitNotes describes itself as "a clean, simple, powerful workout tracking app," states it is "only available on Android," and says on its own site: "Free to use and no ads - ever!" No premium tier is mentioned anywhere on the page.

That combination is genuinely rare and worth saying loudly: this is the only app in this roundup with nothing behind a paywall. It is a strength log, not a nutrition tracker, and there is no iOS version. If you have an Android phone and want a gym logbook with no upsell, the search ends here.

Hevy

iOS and Android. Free account with a Pro tier.

Hevy's own site describes it as "a free workout tracker for iOS and Android" and claims over 16 million users. The free features it lists on that page include workout logging, a routine planner, marking warm-up/drop/failure sets, automatic rest timers, exercise notes, exercise charts, personal records, one-rep-max calculation, and social features for following other athletes.

What we could not verify: Hevy's public pages did not state a free-tier routine limit when we checked, though third-party roundups widely claim one. We are not going to print a number we could not source from Hevy. Install it and read the paywall.

The social layer is the real differentiator here — a following/followers model that some people find motivating and others find intrusive. That is a taste question, not a quality one.

Strong

iOS and Android. Free account with Strong PRO.

Strong's site states that "Strong Accounts are Free Forever" and that a Strong PRO tier exists, describing PRO in terms of visualising progress — best sets, max one-rep-max, body fat percentage, and more.

What we could not verify: Strong's page did not publish a free-versus-PRO feature table or a price when we checked. Same advice as Hevy: the in-app paywall is the authoritative document.

Strong is the older, more spartan of the two big strength logs. People who dislike Hevy's social feed usually end up here.

MyFitnessPal

iOS, Android, web. Free tier with Premium.

MyFitnessPal positions itself as "the world's #1 nutrition tracking app" and makes an explicit all-in-one argument on its own site: "You don't need a separate intermittent fasting app, or different apps for water tracking, weight tracking, or fitness tracking."

The free/paid line is stated more clearly here than by the strength apps. Its own page lists Barcode Scan among the tools Premium unlocks, alongside intermittent fasting and custom macro goals, and describes free members as using food search from the home screen. If barcode scanning is central to how you log food, that is the number-one thing to know before installing.

Its strength-training log is real but comparatively basic — it exists to attribute calories, not to plan progression. If your priority is food and your training is "I went to the gym", it fits. If you care about set-by-set progression, it will frustrate you.

TrackPep

iOS, Android, web. Ours.

TrackPep is a peptide and GLP-1 logging app that also records workouts, meals, weight and hydration, so doses and training sit on the same timeline. That single-timeline property is the only reason it belongs in this list at all.

Where it is the wrong tool, plainly: it is not a strength-training app first. If you are a lifter who does not take a GLP-1 or a peptide, FitNotes, Hevy or Strong are built for you and TrackPep is not. Our free tier covers three active compounds and the last 30 days of dose history; the features we gate behind Pro are listed on our pricing page, and we would rather you read that than take our word for it here.

TrackPep does not sell, recommend, or help anyone obtain any medication, and it never suggests a dose.

The short version

If your priority is…	Look at
A free Android gym log with no upsell at all	FitNotes
Strength logging with charts and a social feed	Hevy
Strength logging, spartan, no feed	Strong
Food first, training as a footnote	MyFitnessPal
Doses, weight and training on one timeline	TrackPep

None of these are medical tools, ours included.
