What is Liftoff?
Liftoff is a workout tracker built around ranks. Every set you log gets a strength rating from 1 to 1000, based on your estimated one-rep max, your bodyweight and your sex, and that rating puts the lift on a nine-step ladder: Wood, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, Titan, Olympian. Ratings for each muscle roll up into an overall rank. Liftoff says the standard comes from the training of millions of lifters.
Around that sit streaks, daily quests, leaderboards and a mascot, plus a workout generator and food logging. It's free on iPhone and Android, with a Pro tier, and comes from Liftoff Labs Inc. Releases are frequent: 25 iPhone updates between late May and October 2026.
Key Features
Ranks on every lift
The library has 600+ exercises with video form guides, and 400 of them are ranked. A body silhouette called the Bodygraph is shaded by your rank for each muscle, so the lagging ones stand out.
Workouts planned for you
Tell the generator your goal, schedule, equipment and experience and it plans sessions, or a multi-week program with progression built in. Save them as presets or start straight away.
Charts and records
Each exercise keeps its own history: estimated one-rep max over time, volume, best sets and PRs. Bodyweight, body fat and 15 other measurements chart alongside.
Food logging
Scan a barcode or search to log a meal, or, with Pro, point the Calorie Lens food scanner at your plate. Goals adjust for a cut or a bulk.
Leaderboards and streaks
Compare yourself with friends, your country and the world, in weekly cohorts. Workouts and challenges earn eggs to spend in the Liftoff Shop on cosmetics, gear and workout plans.
Bringing your history
Export a CSV from Strong or Hevy and import it in Liftoff's settings, PRs included.
Apple Watch and Apple Health
An Apple Watch app arrived in September 2026. On iOS, Liftoff reads steps, calories and body measurements from Apple Health and writes workouts back to it, and the rest timer shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
What it does with Strava
One way, Liftoff to Strava, one workout at a time. Connect your Strava account in Liftoff's settings once; after that, a Post to Strava toggle appears when you finish a session, and nothing is sent unless you turn it on. It's free, no Pro needed.
The workout lands on Strava as a Weight Training activity with your exercises, the session's duration and a summary card image. Liftoff maps each exercise to Strava's own exercise types, so a barbell bench press shows as a barbell bench press; exercises Strava has no match for post under a generic strength type. Your ranks, ratings and leaderboard places stay in Liftoff, and runs and rides recorded on Strava don't come back into it.
Strava listed Liftoff among its strength launch partners in May 2026, and its strength help article includes Liftoff among the apps whose exercise-level data comes through.
Who It's For
- Lifters who like a number to chase, and want to know where a lift stands, not just that it went up
- People who stay consistent through streaks and competition with friends
- Strava users who lift, and want gym sessions in their feed with the actual exercises named
- Strong or Hevy users thinking of moving, since the CSV import brings their history
What it doesn't do
It doesn't pull anything from Strava. Apple Health and the watch app are iOS features, and Liftoff doesn't mention a Wear OS app or Health Connect. The app is in English only.
What does Liftoff Pro cost?
Liftoff doesn't publish a price list. In the US App Store, Liftoff Pro in-app purchases run from $3.99 to $79.99, without saying which is monthly, yearly or longer. Core tracking is free; Pro adds deeper rank analytics, long-timeframe charts and AI food scanning.
How do I stop Liftoff posting to Strava?
Leave the Post to Strava toggle off for the sessions you want to keep private, or go to Settings, tap Connect Strava Account and switch it off to stop future posts. You can reconnect later.
