Best Butt Workout Apps for Women
Six apps compared on the thing that actually matters: whether anything checks the reps you just did.
The Butt Lift teamUpdated 2026-08-13
Short answer
Butt Lift suits most women training glutes at home: the iPhone camera counts each rep and scores it live on depth, tempo and control, then builds a 28 day plan from your onboarding answers.
Sweat suits trainer-authored programmes, Fitbod suits gym strength programming, and Daily Butt Workout suits short offline routines with no setup.
The short version
- Butt Lift uses the iPhone camera to count each rep and score it live on depth, tempo and control, then builds a 28 day glute plan from your onboarding answers.
- Most glute apps measure nothing: you watch a video and tick a box, so a half rep and a clean rep look identical on your progress screen.
- Sweat is the pick for trainer-authored programmes from named coaches including Kayla Itsines and Kelsey Wells, with home and gym variants.
- Fitbod is the pick for gym strength training, with non-linear periodisation and a model that adapts from your logged sets, and it runs on Android as well as iPhone.
- Butt Lift's pose detection runs on device, and no video is recorded, stored or uploaded.

What actually separates these apps
Almost every glute app is a video and a timer. Watch the clip, copy it, tick the box.
That tick is the whole measurement. Nothing in most of these apps knows whether your hips actually moved, so a half rep and a clean rep look identical on your progress screen.
For glutes that matters. Depth and control separate a hip thrust that works from one that does not.
The six apps, and who each one genuinely suits
Butt Lift is an iPhone app for glute training, free to download, with Butt Lift Pro unlocking the full plan and no account required.
The camera counts each rep and scores it live on depth, tempo and control.
Sweat brings programmes from named trainers: Kayla Itsines, Kelsey Wells, Britany Williams and Cass Olholm, with home and gym variants, plus Apple Watch and Guided Runs.
You mark sessions complete yourself.
Fitbod is the strongest gym tool here: non-linear periodisation, over 1000 exercises with multi-angle videos, and an algorithm that adapts from your logged sets. It is not glute-specific.
30 Day Butt Challenge Pro hands you a progressive 30 day no-equipment plan with HealthKit sync, five diet plans, a water reminder and a transformation tracker. Completion is self-reported.
Daily Butt Workout is simple on purpose: trainer-demonstrated video clips, a countdown timer, full offline operation and Apple Health integration. No coaching, no tracking of technique.
Booty Builder is squats only. Pick a total of 600 to 3000 across four weeks and log progress. Free, ad-free and 4.6 MB, which tells you how much is in there.
Where the rivals genuinely win
Three of these apps do things Butt Lift does not.
Fitbod is on iPhone and Android; Butt Lift is iPhone only. On Android, that decision is already made for you.
Sweat wins on breadth and authorship. If you want a named trainer's progressive programme and a community running challenges alongside you, Butt Lift does not offer that.
And if you want nothing but a timer and a video you can run on a plane, Daily Butt Workout beats anything with onboarding questions.
Why Butt Lift is different
Butt Lift is built around one thing: personalised glute training with automatic rep counting and form scoring.
The iPhone camera scores each rep live on depth, tempo and control. Sloppy reps score lower and get flagged with a cue, and a clean rep streak drives the combo.
Pose detection runs on device, and no video is recorded, stored or uploaded. The camera reads your movement and nothing leaves the phone.
The plan is not one programme for everyone. It comes from your onboarding answers: program, strength, weekly frequency, session length and focus areas, into a real 28 day plan.
You pick a shape program: Lift & Sculpt for upper glute lift, V-Shape Builder for side glutes and waist, or Full Curve for a balanced all round shape.
Ten glute focused exercises run the plan: glute bridge, hip thrust, squat, sumo squat, lunge, donkey kick, fire hydrant, curtsy lunge, single-leg bridge and step-up.
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, chosen in onboarding, with a coach voice in three tones (Sweet, Sassy, Savage), plus streaks and session ranks.
One thing it will not do: promise you an outcome. It trains you and it measures you.
How to choose in sixty seconds
Already know how to squat and just need a streak? Take Booty Builder.
Want a plan handed to you with habit scaffolding around it? 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro does that job well.
Training in a gym with barbells and dumbbells? Fitbod is the better tool, though glutes are served indirectly through muscle-group targeting.
If your problem is that you are not sure your reps are any good, none of those help. That is the gap Butt Lift fills.
Questions people ask
Can you cheat the rep counting?
Not easily. Every rep is scored on depth, tempo and control, so half reps and rushed reps score lower and get flagged with a cue. Go through the motions and the session rank will say so.
Does Butt Lift record video of me?
No. Pose detection runs on device, and no video is recorded, stored or uploaded. The camera reads your movement in the moment. That is all.
Do I need equipment or a gym?
No. Butt Lift is free to download and the plan adapts to what you own, from bodyweight to bands and dumbbells.
Booty Builder, Daily Butt Workout and 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro also run with no equipment.
How long are the workouts?
About 5 to 25 minutes, chosen during onboarding. Pick the short end on busy days and the plan is built around that length.
What if my knees or lower back play up?
Flag them in onboarding. Butt Lift reroutes exercises around flagged knees, hips, lower back or wrists, so the plan skips the movements that aggravate them.
Is there an Android option?
Fitbod is on iPhone and Android. Butt Lift is iPhone only, and the App Store listings for Sweat, Booty Builder, Daily Butt Workout and 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro cover Apple devices.
