Aurek vs a spreadsheet or a workout log
A spreadsheet is free and does exactly what you build. A workout log records what you did. Aurek plans what you do next and adjusts it to your day. Here’s an honest look.
| Aurek | Spreadsheet | Workout log app | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans your next workout | Yes: every set, from your maxes and your week | You write it | Usually not |
| Adjusts to sleep and soreness | Yes: from a daily readiness score | No | No |
| Explains each weight | Yes: “Why this weight?” | Your own formulas | No |
| Food and sleep targets | Yes | If you build them | No |
| Runs with GPS | Yes | No | Some |
| Works offline, forever | Partly: it keeps working without a connection and syncs when you’re back online | Yes | Depends |
| Your data | Download a backup any time; health data stays on your device | Fully yours | Depends |
| Price | $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year, after a 7-day free trial | Free | Free to a few dollars |
Aurek’s trial needs a card; cancel before it ends and you aren’t charged. Subscriptions aren’t open yet. “Workout log app” means a typical logging app in general, not any particular one; check each app for what it does.
When a spreadsheet is the better choice
- You follow a fixed program you already trust, and you like adjusting it yourself.
- You want every formula visible and editable.
- You don’t want to pay for anything.
When Aurek is the better choice
- You want the next session planned for you, set by set, without building it.
- Your sleep and schedule vary, and you want the plan to follow them.
- You want training, food and sleep in one place, with the reasons shown.
