3. Fitbit
Coming up next on our list of some of the best Google Fit alternatives for Android and iPhone, we have Fitbit. While many people only think of Fitbit as a hardware manufacturer, they also make a really solid fitness tracking app that you can use even without one of their fitness bands or smartwatches.
The Fitbit app uses your phone’s GPS to track your steps, and can also track various other exercises manually. It keeps track of all of your information such as calories burned, number of steps, heart rate, and much more. You can also use the app to track your sleep and find out if the hours of sleep you’re getting is enough or not.
Fitbit also has a huge community of other fitness freaks and people who are just getting started. You can use the community tab to view what others have to share about their fitness journey and get inspired. Fitbit has occasional weekly and monthly challenges that you can take part in that is a great motivation for someone who might have been slacking off.

4. Strava
Strava is an app tailor-made for people who want to track their cardio exercises. Be it running, hiking, swimming, or cycling, Strava has got you covered. Strava has one of the best user interfaces for both Android and iOS devices that we have seen in a fitness tracking app by a long shot.
You can track all kinds of cardio workouts using Strava, be it a casual run down the alley or an intense biking session with your friends or loved ones. You can set the nitty-gritty such as the elevation, speed, and distance traveled to get an even accurate measurement out of Strava.
What makes Strava even better for people who love cycling or running is the amazing community that comes with it. You can interact with other people, view their progress (if they have publically shared it), and even share your own stories to motivate others! Overall, if you are someone who enjoys a lot of cardio activity and wanted an app to track it well, Strava is the one for you.

5. Pedometer & Step Counter
Ending our list of some of the best Google Fit alternatives you can use in 2021, we have an exclusive for iPhone users. If all you wanted was an app to track your steps throughout the day, then Pedometer & Step Counter is a great option. While it works similarly to Apple Health, it usually gives more accurate readings and it also helps that the app is built around the idea of just tracking steps, keeping you focused.
The app does need to be open in order to track your steps. The first time you launch the app, you will be required to input your basic information such as age, weight, and height, as well as set your goal. The app will then show you the number of steps you need to walk in a day in order to achieve your goal.
The app has a very minimal interface and displays only the things that matter such as the number of steps, distance walked, calories burned, and the total time you have been walking for. You can view your stats using the tab to the right which displays your daily, weekly, and monthly activity.
