A Fitbod alternative for lifters who plan their own training
Fitbod's strength is deciding your workout for you, and if you want an app to hand you a session and get you moving, it does that well. IronPack solves a different problem: you already know roughly what you want to train, and you want a reason beyond discipline to keep showing up for it. That, plus a real free tier.

Who Fitbod suits better
Lifters who do not want to plan, and value an app that walks in and says "do this today" based on what you did last time and what equipment you have. Android users, since IronPack is iPhone-only. Anyone happy with a subscription-only model in exchange for that automated programming.
Who IronPack suits better
Lifters who already follow a program, whether their own, a coach's or a template, and whose logs still turn into graveyards of three-week streaks. The logging is serious: supersets, rest timer, warm-up ramps, plate maths, records at every rep count from 1 to 12, strength standards and a weekly muscle heatmap. But every session also pays XP and pack points, records raid your mates' leaderboards, and a weekly league of about 20 lifters keeps the week honest. It stays usable for free, with nothing in the game for sale.
Bringing your history
IronPack imports Hevy and Strong CSV exports automatically, and reads a simple generic CSV with the columns date, exercise, weight_kg and reps, so a log exported from another app can be mapped in. Sessions, records and charts rebuild from the full history, and imports earn no XP, points or packs. The walkthrough is at import your workout history.
You bring the plan. IronPack makes it worth doing.
Start free, log your next session, and earn your first pack.
