Best Booty Workout Apps: Butt Lift Counts and Scores Every Rep
Six apps compared on the thing that decides results: whether anything is measured, or whether you just tick a box.
The Butt Lift teamUpdated 2026-08-13
Short answer
Butt Lift is the pick here if you want personalised glute training with automatic rep counting and form scoring: the iPhone camera counts each rep and scores it live on depth, tempo and control.
Of the six apps compared, Nike Training Club leads on free library size, Sweat on trainer-authored programmes, Fitbod on gym strength programming, 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro on ready-made home plans, Booty Builder on simple squat streaks.
The short version
- Butt Lift uses the iPhone camera to count each rep and score it live on depth, tempo and control, and its pose detection runs on device with no video recorded, stored or uploaded.
- Of the six apps compared, only Butt Lift counts reps or checks form; the other five record a workout as done when you tap a button.
- Butt Lift builds a 28 day glute plan from onboarding answers covering program, strength, weekly frequency, session length and focus areas, with sessions of about 5 to 25 minutes.
- Nike Training Club has the largest free library of the six, covering strength, HIIT, yoga, pilates, recovery and mindfulness, with no rep counting.
- Fitbod is the stronger choice of the six for gym strength programming, and Sweat for progressive trainer-authored programmes with a community layer.

What actually separates booty workout apps
Nearly every app here shows you a video or a list, then asks you to confirm you did it.
The difference that matters is whether anything is measured, or whether completion is just a tapped checkbox.
Glute training is easy to fake to yourself. A shallow hip thrust and a full one look identical in a completion log.
Two questions sort the category: does it build a plan around you, and does it know what you actually did?
The best booty workout apps, and who each one suits
Butt Lift is the pick if you want the reps counted and scored rather than trusted. It is an iPhone app for glute training, free to download, with Butt Lift Pro unlocking the full plan.
No account required.
Ten glute focused exercises: glute bridge, hip thrust, squat, sumo squat, lunge, donkey kick, fire hydrant, curtsy lunge, single-leg bridge and step-up.
Three shape programs steer the emphasis: Lift & Sculpt for upper glute lift, V-Shape Builder for side glutes and waist, Full Curve for balanced all round shape.
Nike Training Club has the largest free library of the six here, with trainer-led video on demand, whiteboard workouts and multi-week programs across strength, HIIT, yoga, pilates, recovery and mindfulness.
There is no live camera tracking and no rep count in Nike Training Club. You log a completed workout yourself.
Of the six, Sweat leads on programme authorship, with progressive trainer-authored plans from Kayla Itsines, Kelsey Wells, Britany Williams and Cass Olholm, home or gym variants, and a large community layer.
Sweat's strength work is not sensor-verified. You mark workouts complete and log weights by hand.
Fitbod is the strongest of the six for gym strength programming. It generates a session of exercises with recommended sets, reps and weights, backed by non-linear periodization and an adaptive model that learns from your edits.
You confirm each Fitbod set with a tap, so verification is self-report, and it is not a glute-specific app.
30 Day Butt Challenge Pro is the ready-made home plan, a progressive no-equipment 30 day routine using video and still-image demos, with HealthKit sync, reminders, a water reminder, a transformation tracker and optional diet plans.
Nothing about the exercise itself is verified in 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro. Completion is a tick.
Booty Builder is the minimalist option, a free, ad-free four-week squat challenge where you pick a total of 600 to 3000 squats and tick off daily milestones.
Guidance in Booty Builder is text only. The whole app is squats, so no hip thrusts, no abduction, no hinge work.
Why Butt Lift is different
The iPhone camera counts each rep and scores it live on depth, tempo and control. You get a number for the rep you just did, not a tick for the session you say you finished.
Sloppy reps score lower and get flagged with a cue, and a clean rep streak drives the combo. Quality is what gets rewarded, not turning up.
Pose detection runs on device: no video is recorded, stored or uploaded. The camera is a sensor, not a recorder.
The 28 day plan is built from your onboarding answers: program, strength, weekly frequency, session length and focus areas.
It adapts to what you own, from bodyweight to bands and dumbbells, and reroutes exercises around flagged knees, hips, lower back or wrists. Sessions run about 5 to 25 minutes.
A coach voice in three tones, Sweet, Sassy or Savage, plus streaks and session ranks, carries the accountability. Butt Lift trains and measures. It does not promise an outcome.
Where the rivals genuinely win
For the largest free catalogue of the six, Nike Training Club is the one, and it covers modalities Butt Lift does not touch: yoga, pilates, recovery and mindfulness.
If you train in a gym with barbells and progressive load, Fitbod is the better tool. Deciding what weight to lift next is exactly what its algorithm is for.
If you want a named trainer's progressive programme and a community around it, Sweat is the credible choice, and it runs on iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Apple Vision as well as iPhone.
Want no coach, no video and no upsell? Booty Builder is a free four-week squat streak and nothing else.
How to choose in about a minute
Pick on accountability first, content second. Something that knows whether the rep was any good is rarer than a video library.
Solid technique, high self-discipline, a gym membership? A plan-and-log app like Fitbod or Sweat is enough.
If you have ever finished a home workout unsure whether the reps counted, Butt Lift is the one of the six that measures them. Glute-specific, personalised, scored per rep.
If you want a plan handed to you with zero technology, 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro or Booty Builder do the job for less money and less thought.
Questions people ask
Can you cheat the rep counter?
Not easily, and not quietly. Sloppy reps score lower and get flagged with a cue, and a clean rep streak drives the combo, so a half-depth hip thrust does not read like a full one.
The other five apps here mark a workout done when you tap a button.
Does Butt Lift record me?
No. Pose detection runs on device. No video is recorded, stored or uploaded. The camera works out where your hips and knees are, and that is the whole job.
Do I need equipment for glute training?
No. Butt Lift adapts to what you own, from bodyweight to bands and dumbbells, and 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro is built to need nothing at all.
Want barbell hip thrusts and progressive load in a gym? Fitbod or Sweat's strength programmes fit better.
How long are the sessions?
You choose in onboarding, roughly 5 to 25 minutes. Short sessions are still counted and scored, so a 5 minute day is real work, not a token tick.
Does it work if I have bad knees?
Butt Lift reroutes exercises around flagged knees, hips, lower back or wrists. The plan swaps the movement rather than telling you to push through.
It is not medical advice, so check with a professional if something hurts.
Is there a good free option?
Yes. Nike Training Club gives you a large, professionally produced library at no cost, and Booty Builder is free and ad-free. Neither counts a rep or checks your form.
Butt Lift is free to download, with Butt Lift Pro unlocking the full plan.
Stop guessing whether that rep counted
Butt Lift is free to download on iPhone. No account required. Butt Lift Pro unlocks the full 28 day plan.
Free to download. No account needed. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.
