What Alpha Progression is
Alpha Progression is a strength-training app for Android and iOS that logs workouts and recommends weights and repetitions based on performance. Its Pro plan can generate training plans around goals, equipment, training frequency, and duration, with exercises, sets, and reps available for customization. The library lists 795 exercises with instructional videos filmed by certified trainers. Progress tools include charts, personal records, streaks, achievements, and CSV export. Users can follow plans, log workouts, and receive Pro progression recommendations offline, but creating a new plan or workout requires internet access. With explicit consent, the app can exchange activity energy, weight, body-fat percentage, and exercise data with Apple HealthKit and Google Health Connect. The maker says health and fitness data is not used for advertising or marketing, and received Health Connect data is not transferred off the device. The free plan includes personal plans and unlimited workout logging, but not plan generation, recommendations, charts, or advanced tools. Pro costs $12.99 per month or $79.99 per year; eligible new customers can get a 14-day trial with the yearly subscription.
