What Jefit does well
Jefit has a large exercise library (1,400+ exercises) and community routines. If that is why you use it, the alternatives below trade some of that for a different free tier or price.
GYM RPG

Free tier: Unlimited logging, 3 saved plans, 1 XP-rewarded workout per day. Paid: Pro: $7.99/mo, $49.99/yr (US App Store, Oct 2026).
GYM RPG adds a game layer on top of logging: XP, muscle stats, a skill tree and party boss fights.
