Short answer: choose Hevy if a public lifting community and broad device access lead your decision. Choose Fitbod if you want the app to generate adaptive workouts. Choose Strong if you want a focused manual gym log. Consider Forma if you want workouts, nutrition, RIR, weekly muscle volume, steps, bodyweight, and private friend competition in one record.
