Is There an App That Counts Glute Bridges?
One iPhone app counts glute bridges with the camera; the other five hand you a video and trust you.
The Butt Lift teamUpdated 2026-08-13
Short answer
Yes. Butt Lift counts glute bridges on iPhone. The camera counts each rep and scores it live on depth, tempo and control, with pose detection running on device.
Glute bridge is one of ten counted exercises. The alternatives here, 30 Day Butt Challenge Pro, Daily Butt Workout, Booty Builder, Sweat and Nike Training Club, are video, timer or self-logging apps.
None counts a rep.
The short version
- Butt Lift uses the iPhone camera to count each rep and score it live on depth, tempo and control, with glute bridge among its ten counted exercises.
- Pose detection runs on device, no video is recorded, stored or uploaded, and no account is required.
- Of the six apps compared here, the other five run on pre-recorded video, timers or self-logging, so completion is self-reported rather than measured.
- Butt Lift builds a 28 day 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 is the stronger pick for a free multi-discipline video library, and Sweat for trainer-authored full-body programming.

Yes, and one app in this comparison does it
Most glute apps play a video and wait. You do the bridges, the timer runs out, you tap done.
Marking a workout complete proves attendance, not execution. That is a plan, not a count.
Butt Lift is the exception among the six apps compared here. The iPhone camera watches the movement and counts each rep as you do it.
Scoring is what makes the count worth having. Reps are judged on depth, tempo and control, so a rushed half-bridge does not score like a held one.
The apps, and what each one actually does
Butt Lift counts ten glute focused exercises: glute bridge, hip thrust, squat, sumo squat, lunge, donkey kick, fire hydrant, curtsy lunge, single-leg bridge and step-up. Free to download, Pro unlocks the full plan.
30 Day Butt Challenge Pro is a fixed 30 day video challenge with HealthKit sync, diet plans and a transformation tracker, all fed by self-reported completion.
Daily Butt Workout keeps it simple: trainer-demonstrated clips and a countdown timer, with full offline operation.
It pushes duration and estimated calories to Apple Health.
Booty Builder is barely an app in the modern sense. Pick a squat total between 600 and 3000, it splits it across four weeks, and you log every rep by hand.
Sweat brings trainer-authored programming from Kayla Itsines, Kelsey Wells, Britany Williams and Cass Olholm, with home and gym variants and a large community layer.
Nike Training Club is the breadth play: strength, HIIT, yoga, pilates, recovery and mindfulness, free, with an Apple Watch remote for advancing or pausing movements.
Why Butt Lift is different
Personalised glute training with automatic rep counting and form scoring. That is the whole position, and nothing else here claims it.
The plan is built, not picked. Onboarding asks about program, strength, weekly frequency, session length and focus areas, then produces a 28 day plan from your answers.
Three shape programs decide where the work goes: Lift & Sculpt for upper glute lift, V-Shape Builder for side glutes and waist, Full Curve for balanced all round shape.
It bends to your circumstances. Equipment adapts from bodyweight to bands and dumbbells, and the plan reroutes around flagged knees, hips, lower back or wrists.
Sessions run 5 to 25 minutes, chosen in onboarding, with a coach voice in Sweet, Sassy or Savage, plus streaks and session ranks.
One honest limit: it is glute specific. It is not a general strength or cardio app, and it does not promise a physical outcome. It trains and measures.
Does it record you? No
The camera is a sensor, not a recorder. Pose detection runs on device and no video is recorded, stored or uploaded.
There is no account required either, so you are not handing over an email to find out whether the counting works for you.
Glute training happens on a bedroom floor, and a workout app should not need your footage to do its job.
When a rival is the better buy
Want a large free video library across many modalities? Take Nike Training Club and self-assess.
Want structured programming from named trainers with a community around it? Sweat is the stronger buy, especially for full-body training.
If you just want a streak and already know how to squat, Booty Builder is free, ad-free and collects no data.
Train on a plane, in a basement, anywhere without signal? Daily Butt Workout runs fully offline, with a certified trainer demonstrating every move.
The deciding question is simple. Do you want a plan to follow, or a count you can trust? If it is the count, Butt Lift is the one on this page that delivers it.
Questions people ask
Can you cheat the rep counter?
Not easily. A rep is scored, not just tallied. Sloppy reps score lower and get flagged with a cue, and a half-height bridge will not read as a clean rep. Your combo only builds on a clean rep streak.
Does it record video of me?
No. Pose detection runs on device and no video is recorded, stored or uploaded. The camera reads movement in the moment. It does not capture footage.
Does it work on Silent?
The coach voice is audio, so on Silent you lose the spoken cues. Rep counting and scoring are visual and carry on regardless, so the session still counts. Headphones are the tidy fix in a shared house.
Do I need equipment?
No. Butt Lift adapts to what you have, from bodyweight to bands and dumbbells. Glute bridges are bodyweight, so floor space is enough to start.
What if my knees or lower back are dodgy?
Flag them in onboarding and the plan reroutes around knees, hips, lower back or wrists. It is a training app, not medical advice, so speak to a clinician about anything painful.
Is it free?
Free to download, with Butt Lift Pro unlocking the full plan. No account required to get started.
Count them, do not guess them
Butt Lift counts and scores every rep on iPhone, on device, with no account required. Free to download.
