About this app

Meet Stronger by the Day by Megsquats: A group training app dedicated to making you the strongest lifter you can be – in the gym, or at home.
If you’ve been cherry-picking workouts from online influencers or have seen a plateau in strength, it’s time to find a dedicated strength program – and coach – that provides you with a focused path to a stronger you. With Meg Gallagher, aka Megsquats, at the helm, we take care of all the planning; all you have to do is show up and put in the work.
The Gym version of Stronger by the Day is all about building muscle and getting stronger. Your training is built around progressions on give main lifts: squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press, and hip thrust. Complemented by rotating accessory lifts from our library of 400+ movements, you’ll be lifting more weight, building more muscle, and having more fun in training – all while doing it alongside thousands of other lifters who are on the same journey. There’s also an Express version of the Gym program for those who need to limit their training time to 40-60 minutes.
While most at-home training programs center on gimmicky exercise combinations that leave you out of breath, Stronger by the Day hits different. Our Bodyweight program is every bit as intentional as our in-gym training, taking an intentional progression-based approach to building strength. We help you utilize bodyweight and simple pieces of equipment – like bands – to still make progress even without the use of barbells or machines.
Stronger by the Day has features that help make it incredibly simple for you to continue getting stronger with a multitude of customizations, including:
– Adjustable weekly split with 3, 4, and 5 day/week options
– Suggested weights for each main lift based on previous training sessions, as well as a reference recent performance for all accessories
– Brand new week of programming released every Sunday
– Explanations and in-app video demonstrations for every movement in our exercise library of 400+ movements
– Detailed video and written weekly notes with the exact training focus of any given week, as well as the broader context of where we are in a training cycle
– Extensive video resource library to help you improve technique and continue learning, not only about lifting, but about nutrition to support your training goals
– Swap out movements when you need to with our easy-to-access substitutions library
– In-app training journal to track your results
– Stats section that visually features squat, bench, deadlift, and overhead press
– Option to select weight unit of kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs)

Ratings and reviews

Best strength training program I've done thus far! Love the bodyweight component and the ability to switch to Gym and Express modes when I'm ready. App is a bit buggy, though. You have to scroll up or down on the screen just right first and then tap the timer, substitute exercise, and notes areas to get them to pop up right. Sometimes you have to tap them multiple times to get them to work. Other than that, I'm very happy with it and see myself being a SBTD woman for life. 👍🏽

The FAQ says that substitutions will be under the video demonstration of an exercise, but this doesn't seem to exist? Also, not an issue with the app, but the programming will have you in the gym forever - even the express version is so long with 10-ish different exercises (not including warmup!). Don't think this is for me, wish I had known before I paid.

I've been using this for 4 months and I love it! I've seen significant strength and muscle gains since starting. You can choose from training 3-5 d/wk, there is a gym and home option, and an express gym if you're low on time. I LOVE that you can sub out exercises for another that hits similar muscle groups. A life saver for making the workout go smoothly. It does sometimes glitch when updating new max for an exercise when doing a workout. I just skip it and update later, nbd. Highly recommend!
