Fitbod: Gym & Fitness Planner

There is very little ability to control what exercises you do. It wants to have all the control. Every time you customize it to create custom workouts it erases them and comes up with its own. I’ve had numerous exercise routines deleted. Overall not good and won’t be renewing my subscription

I don’t like the app at all and I want cancel it but it’s not showing up in my subscription so I’m not able to cancel it. When you click on the app itself on your profile, they should just let you cancel it within the app. For that reason, I don’t recommend this.

A friend at the gym wanted to show me her current workout plan. What I thought was a PDF ended up being embedded in the app. I downloaded it to view and ended up being charged for an annual subscription. I never used the app, nor intended to. When I wrote to the app admin explaining, I got total crickets. Not exactly honorable business ethics. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I’ve been lifting for 30 years and I like the app because I don’t have to plan my workout. I do not like that I cannot change body part focus on my workouts for an extended period of time. It is getting better. I am interested in how the injury feature works.

I really like being able to try different programs without much thought and just go for it. I’ve seen results in the mirror within a couple months and the progression feels real. Minus one star for the following wish list: I wish I could chat with an AI agent that can see my history for recommendations or how to use the app or workout specific advice for me personally. Bar selection is currently cumbersome when I need to switch an exercise from an Olympic 45lb to an EZ bar and it doesn’t remember my selection. The screen on a specific set will randomly switch back to the full workout screen. Also I’d like to see my BPM on any screen. Apple Watch integration lags the app somewhat. And the rest timer chime doesn’t always work. Can I have some options for that chime too? Please add a de-load option and/or automatically ask if I want to de-load after a time frame where I didn’t work out.

Very generic workout suggestions, and the app is poorly designed and glitchy (closes out active timers and sets, and just seems to have a mind of its own). I regret spending money on this. It’s definitely way overpriced. AI could produce an app like this in two days.

So far the app looks good. I’m on day 6. You only get 1 week to try and that’s not enough. Update Oct 2026.I paid for a month to give it more of a chance. Seems buggy and has a very confusing interface. It’s wasted two workouts plus frustration and time. Good luck with support. So far I got an AI answer.

I'm not new to lifting, but I rely on apps like this for guidance. Earlier this year I used Fitbod consistently and built up to a solid weight. Then life happened, and I started having multiple weeks between sessions. The AI coach would say "I see you've been gone for a month," and then the first workout back would be a "max effort day" at or above my peak weight. It recognizes I've been away, and instead of a gradual reintroduction, it puts me in a position to get injured. I'm shocked the app expects me to lower the weights myself after time off. That's exactly what I'm paying it to do! Adapting to real life fluctuations is the feature that should justify the price.

Wish I had gotten this sooner. Whether new to the gym or old rat, everyone can use this app to organize their workouts and get motivated to keep the goals rolling. Some app usability could be improved like edits and unlogging a set but otherwise, super friendly and helpful.

Doesn’t keep last workout as an option

Repetitive too much. Can’t arrange splits like I want. OLP isn’t the easiest to use and modify

Would love to provide some context to what I want and support my personal inputs, ie 56, female, etc and design around me. Or that I want 8 excesses focusing on 5 legs and 3 upper. Just very generic.

The app is fine, but it is a major annoyance that there is no setting to change/adjust default workout timers e.g. for treadmill or jump rope workouts. When you use these workouts as part of your plan all the time, it is a real pain in the neck that the app doesn’t allow me to use my own default settings for these exercises. Secondly - why are the warm up weights linked? When you change one, you change them all. Futile functionality that causes extra steps when setting up your warmups.

It makes you I agree to your health app information location makes you agree to everything. You login and then you get hit with a monthly payment or $100 a year and it was hard to delete my account. Guess I was not going to pay $100 a year for this app. You could start your free trial and then delete your data. If it were to tell me that you had to pay for it first and then ask me for my information, that would’ve been fine,

App was way better a couple of years ago

I needed something to get me into a more well rounded work out. I don’t have time to plan it out and I don’t want too. Fitbod takes care of all that so I just get up and go to the gym. It also really helped me understand what I was doing wrong on some movements that was causing a ton of back pain. I will be a lifelong subscriber. Couple future improvements to consider: live update of gym equipment while in a workout session. Sometimes you don’t know what added equipment might be in a gym on vacation. Inclusion of injuries to help suggest workouts that should avoid those muscle/ tendon groups. I realize this gets into Dr. territory but anything to make the user think about it would be helpful.

Get all the way to the end of the sign ups after going through a long process of height, weight, goals, available equipment, making an account, how many days a week to work out just to get hit with an $8 a month subscription to even see the app after that. Its fine to charge for your product but be upfront about it. Wasted 20 minutes for nothing.

Logged in for the first time in a while, reset my password, and instead of being able to poke around the app and see if it’s what I want to pay for I got locked behind a paywall. Can’t look at nothing besides pay them money Uninstalled

I have been using Fitbod for years. They have made many changes over that time, but to me not the important ones. When you search for an exercise, why does it not show the ones you do the most first? I have never used max whatever mode, please let me disable it. Plus it never replicates sets and reps correctly. And it can’t understand how an entire workout affects the weights and reps you can do.

I downloaded Fitbod hoping it would help me vary my exercises. It helped the tiniest bit- but I could have just gone to YouTube for free. It’s more frustrating than helpful tenfold. First - the “AI” just shuffles workouts with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes the same workout just on different equipment. It also has different equipment all shuffled, meaning you sort it all yourself. Not very smart. And it only has 3 general areas; back, chest, and legs. No way to tell it to target specific muscles unless you put it in manually. And even if you do before you hit the gym it deletes that and shuffles it again entirely. Second - The workout sorting is trash. You can either sort by muscle or by equipment. Not both. I’d love “ab workouts using mat” or “chest workouts using dumbells” but no. Either look at every ab workout or every mat workout and hope you find it. Third - If you switch gyms (because I put in the incorrect gym at the start by accident) if you want to add another you have to manually put in every equipment in there. Positives - I can see this being good for people who know what they’re doing and simply want to track their weight progress. I enjoyed logging reps as I finished (when I remembered to.) All in all, this is just a husk of what could be a great app if it had much more refinement, but at the moment it is not beginner friendly and honestly infuriating for how much potential it has.

Reliable, quality 4-star app. I use it to track my workouts, weights on exercises, and keep track of sets, reps, and rest times. It’s great! The reasons it’s not a five: 1) no integration with Garmin 2) the variability among recommended exercises and the utilization of the pieces of equipment I designated as having access to is limited, but, to be sure, is still there: it could be better. Would definitely recommend to anyone sculpting their own workouts.
