General purpose? Fitness programme-specific?
I'm using the Stronglifts 5x5 mobile app; tracks the five main lifts (squat, deadlift, OHP, bent-over rows, and bench press), and automatically increments them 2.5 kg every session. It's moved over to a subscription model, which lets you add a few assistance exercises to each workout (dips, pull-ups, etc ... mostly body weight exercises). However, the free version tracks the five core lifts, which is really all you need for this. And it connects to Apple Health.
Not robust in terms of being able to create a whole workout from scratch (you can't), because it tracks this programme specifically, and it's not a watch gizmo thingy, but I really like it — both the app and the workout routine itself. Simple and does what it says on the tin.
- there's also a 5x5 excel sheet you could use to plan out your workouts. it's easier than an app imo.dorf
