Best Personalised Glute Workout Apps, Compared
Six glute apps, compared on the one thing that separates them: whether anything checks the rep you just did.
The Butt Lift teamUpdated 2026-08-13
Short answer
Butt Lift is the pick for personalised glute training with automatic rep counting and form scoring.
It builds a 28 day plan from your onboarding answers, and the iPhone camera counts each rep and scores it live on depth, tempo and control.
Sweat leads on trainer-authored programmes, Fitbod on gym strength programming, Nike Training Club on free video variety, and Booty Builder on free simplicity.
The short version
- Butt Lift is the pick for 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 here, only Butt Lift counts reps or checks form; Sweat, Fitbod, Nike Training Club, 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro and Booty Builder all rely on you ticking the workout off yourself.
- Butt Lift builds a real 28 day plan from your onboarding answers on program, strength, weekly frequency, session length and focus areas, rather than serving one fixed plan to everyone.
- Butt Lift's pose detection runs on device, and no video is recorded, stored or uploaded.
- Butt Lift is iPhone only, so on Android Fitbod is the better answer, and Nike Training Club is the stronger free library if you want yoga, pilates and mindfulness alongside strength.
| App | Best for | How workouts run | Counts reps / checks form | Personalised plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Butt Lift | Personalised glute training with automatic rep counting and form scoring | Live camera session, on-device pose detection, coach voice in Sweet, Sassy or Savage | Yes. Counts every rep and scores depth, tempo and control live | Yes. A 28 day plan built from your onboarding answers |
| Sweat | Trainer-authored programmes for women who are happy to self-track | Written descriptions plus pre-recorded video demos and timed circuits | No | Partly. You choose level, duration and exercise substitutions |
| Fitbod | Gym strength programming decided for you | Generated session list with sets, reps and weights, logged by tapping | No | Yes, but by muscle group, not glute-specific |
| Nike Training Club | A large free video library across many modalities | Trainer-led video on demand, whiteboard workouts, Apple Watch remote | No | Partly, via multi-week programs you pick |
| 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro | A ready-made no-equipment 30 day home routine | Video and still-image demos inside a fixed 30 day plan | No | No. Same plan for everyone |
| Booty Builder | One dead-simple free squat habit | No video at all. Pick a squat target, tick off progress | No | No. Just a target and a milestone split |

What "personalised" actually means in a glute app
Most apps personalise once, at the menu. You pick a level, a duration, maybe a substitution, and everyone on that level gets the same thing.
Real personalisation means the plan is built from your answers, and the session responds to what your body does in the room.
Across the six apps here, almost nothing checks whether the rep happened, never mind whether it was any good.
- Plan level: is the 28 day structure built from your inputs, or picked off a shelf?
- Session level: does anything verify the movement, or do you just tick a box?
- Constraint level: does it reroute around a dodgy knee, or leave you to improvise?
The apps, and who each one is genuinely for
Butt Lift is for personalised glute training with automatic rep counting and form scoring.
Ten glute focused exercises, three shape programs, sessions of about 5 to 25 minutes.
Sweat is a strong trainer-authored option for women: progressive programmes including powerbuilding, home or gym variants, a big community.
Nothing is sensor-verified, so you mark workouts complete yourself.
Fitbod covers gym strength programming. Non-linear periodization sets your sets, reps and weights and adapts from your edits, but you confirm every set by tapping.
Glutes come indirectly, via muscle-group targeting.
Nike Training Club is a large free library of trainer-led video: strength, HIIT, yoga, pilates, recovery, mindfulness, plus an Apple Watch remote.
Glute-specific training is not called out, and it verifies attendance by trust, not execution.
30 Day Butt Challenge Pro hands you a fixed no-equipment 30 day plan with video demos, HealthKit sync, diet plans and a transformation tracker.
Fine if you want a plan handed over, not if you need technique correction.
Booty Builder is a free 4 week squat challenge. Pick a total of 600 to 3000 squats, tick off daily milestones, done. Ad-free, no video, no coach, no upsell.
Why Butt Lift is different
The camera is the difference. The iPhone camera counts each rep and scores it live on depth, tempo and control, so the feedback lands during the set, not in a logbook afterwards.
Sloppy reps score lower and get flagged with a cue, and a clean rep streak drives the combo. You cannot fake that by tapping "done".
Pose detection runs on device, and no video is recorded, stored or uploaded.
The plan is yours too: a real 28 day plan built from onboarding answers on program, strength, weekly frequency, session length and focus areas, across three shape programs, Lift & Sculpt, V-Shape Builder and Full Curve.
It adapts to bodyweight, bands or dumbbells, and reroutes exercises around flagged knees, hips, lower back or wrists.
Coach voice comes in Sweet, Sassy or Savage, with streaks and session ranks to keep the days ticking. It trains and measures, and does not promise you an outcome.
Where the rivals genuinely beat Butt Lift
Butt Lift is iPhone only. On Android, Fitbod is the honest answer, not us.
Butt Lift is glute-specific by design. Want yoga, pilates, running and mindfulness in one free app? Nike Training Club is a bigger library than we will ever be.
Loaded gym progression is Fitbod's home turf. If your training is barbell-led and you want weight recommendations across every muscle group, that algorithm is doing something we are not.
And if you want no technology at all, Booty Builder is free, 4.6 MB and asks nothing of you but squats.
How to choose in sixty seconds
If your problem is form, pick the app that watches the rep. None of the other five apps here counts reps or checks form.
If your problem is motivation, pick the streak you will actually keep: Butt Lift's session ranks, or Booty Builder's squat counter.
If your problem is variety, pick a library. Nike Training Club is free, Sweat is trainer-authored, and both expect you to self-assess.
If your problem is not knowing what to lift in the gym, that is Fitbod.
Questions people ask
Can you cheat the rep counter?
Not easily. The score is not just a count. Half reps and rushed tempo score lower and get flagged with a cue, so a sloppy set does not build the combo the way a clean one does.
Does it record or upload video of me?
No. Pose detection runs on device, and no video is recorded, stored or uploaded.
Do I need equipment?
No. Butt Lift adapts from bodyweight only up to bands and dumbbells. The same 10 glute focused exercises scale either way.
What if my knees or lower back play up?
Flag them in onboarding. The app reroutes exercises around flagged knees, hips, lower back or wrists.
How long are the sessions?
About 5 to 25 minutes, chosen during onboarding. Pick short if consistency is your problem, longer if you have the time.
Do I have to make an account?
No account is required. It is free to download, and the Butt Lift Pro subscription unlocks the full plan.
