What is FitHero?

Updated

FitHero is a gym workout tracker app for Android and iOS that logs your training sessions and visualizes your progress over time. It's designed for anyone who wants to replace a paper notebook with a faster way to record sets, and it fits both gym and home training. According to the app's own site, you can get it for free today, and users describe it as clean, ad-free, and without paywalls — though the site itself doesn't list pricing details, so treat those user claims as testimonials rather than confirmed terms.

What you can track

FitHero is built around logging the numbers that matter in a training session:

  • Weight and reps — the core of most strength logging
  • Time and distance — useful for cardio or timed work
  • Estimated 1RM — a calculated one-rep max based on your logged sets
  • RPE — rate of perceived exertion, so you can record how hard a set felt
  • Supersets, tri-sets, and giant sets — combo structures rather than only single exercises

How logging works

The flow described on the site is deliberately short:

  1. Select a routine, or pick from a library of 400+ exercises.
  2. Press an exercise and log your sets for today.
  3. View all previous logs for that exercise on the same screen.

That last point matters: you don't have to leave the exercise to check what you lifted last time, which is the main reason people abandon notebooks mid-session.

What users say

The site quotes an Android user who self-taught lifting and calls the app "game changing," citing the organized exercise list and the short built-in videos. An iOS user calls it the best gym log and training database on iOS, noting no ads and constant updates. Another Android user highlights that you can add your own exercises and create combo flows. These are testimonials from the app's page, so read them as user impressions rather than independent testing.

Who it's for

FitHero suits you if you want fast set-by-set logging, want to see progress as charts rather than guesswork, and prefer an ad-free experience with exercise guidance built in. If you mainly need programming templates, coaching, or nutrition tracking, the site doesn't describe those capabilities — so check the app directly before assuming they exist.
