NOW Fitness vs Strong

Strong is a clean, long-established workout log that does one thing well. NOW Fitness is just as free for logging workouts, but adds unlimited routines, nutrition tracking, a body map with muscle ranks, and friends and chats. Strong PRO is cheaper if all you want is a log; NOW does more for free.
