Fitbod: Gym & Fitness Planner

I have used the app a long time and I like it but it doesn’t integrate with a lot of other fitness apps I work with. I wish it could populate my lifts into ai platforms or Coros.

I love the app but hate getting asked for a rating after each workout. I will keep submitting 1-star ratings until that changes.

Need to do a better job at tracking the sets that do and increase the weight to keep driving growth

Longtime user, love the app, but please bring Duo support soon. I’m excited to see what you guys will do with it!

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.

Very good for progression building, but the UI struggles communicating between the app and Apple Watch. Constantly desync. It does the job, it could do it better.

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.

Nuff said.

The week starts on Sunday and there’s no way to change it. It messes up the schedule especially if you take Sunday off. I also think it doesn’t take into consideration your age. So you guess they fixed this so the week starts whenever I want, in my case Mondays. Thank you. There’s still the age factor. Any chance you add that?

Been using this since the start of the year, overall, very pleased. That said, it would be nice if there was a note you could add when you skipped or cut an exercise short so AI can read and learn whether a skip is temporary or not. I have and injury and cut an exercise short but the app figured I was just starting over or something. The injury beta should also include a rehab rather skip- scaled back but still working it out. The LLM or MCP being used doesn’t seem as intelligent as it it could be.

Overall, I like this app and have used it for years. It will put together workouts for you, let you create your own, focus on splits, etc. It’s good to track workouts and progress over time. My biggest complaint is that it does not suggest very good weights to use a lot of the time. For example, in my last workout, it calculated I should use 7.5 pound weights for a specific exercise, when the last time I did it, I used 40 pound weights. The app said it was because it had been so long since I had done that exercise. It had been three months and I did similar exercises in the meantime. Or it won’t update weights. It continues to suggest the same weight for squats, going on ten weeks now. Great that it plans workouts, but far less useful when it does things like that. And it doesn’t always go too light - do three sets of 8 pull-ups, now the app says you can do 13 reps. And it seems to get stuck in a loop with the weights. I have dumbbells that go in 2.5 pound increments, but 95%of the time, the app only suggests 27.5 pounds, 32.5, 37.5, etc. I have no idea why it acts like it’s allergic to 25, 30, 35, but its suggestions and calculations take away the benefit of being able to slowly increase weight by 2.5 pounds. That’s just more of an annoyance than a problem with the app, but it still impacts how it plans workouts, limiting the usefulness.

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.

Needs more abs, and most they have are two hard for seniors. Need more of something less intense.

I like the new update but, my Fitbit Charge 6 is not showing my heart rate on the app, I can connect it with heart rate on machine and it’s connected but I am not able to see it on the app

It used to be great, but now it’s not working on Apple Watch. I’ve downloaded multiple times and now it won’t even install on watch. There was an update to fix this -however the icon still doesn’t show on my Apple Watch face. Minor inconvenience, but fully functional.

Doesn’t work on Apple Watch though

This App would be perfect if you could add your own custom exercises and track them in the same way that the inapp exercises are tracked. While they do have a lot to choose from there are some niche or uncommon exercises that are missing. Expanding upon the achievement system, similar to other apps where you get badges for monthly/weekly challenges, compete on leaderboards with your friends or the local community would be cool The pricing for workout apps are expensive these days, $15 a month or $80 a year is insane with no option for permanent ownership, though Im sure if it were an option itd be $180+ . Overall its not a bad app, but could definitely do more if they wanted to.

My only complaint is that sometimes the workouts become extremely difficult for no reason. Recently I was recommended to do 5 sets of 200 crunches in one workout. There’s also been times where the app seems to want to destroy one muscle group despite it being fatigued from the last workout.

Falta el calentamiento y estiramiento final en las rutinas

Great app. Sometimes just repetitive work outs

Love this app and being able to log sets using the watch but that was lost with the latest update

previously the algorithm worked great, advanced my weight and reps in a reasonable way and at a reasonable pace, but with the most recent update this AI coach was like “hey i saw you maxed out at 3 sets of 6 reps on 25lbs… and then didnt work out for like a month… how about we ease back into it with 4 sets, 8 reps on 30lbs?” like it just added sets, reps, and weight all at once for no reason.

Great app but needs more exercises to target specific areas of chest and other body parts after using for a while but it’s good and simple

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.

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this app. It has literally been one of the foundational things that helped me lose 72 pounds over the last year. It has pushed me to be bigger better and stronger than I’ve ever pushed myself in my entire life. however, this latest update seems to have completely scaled the app back to where it is not scaling reps correctly anymore. It is no longer pushing me and the insights that it gives are completely useless. If you’re going to use an AI assist thing it should at least tell you the reason why am I loading or deloading because I have a Max lift coming up or because I struggled with something last time but it just tells you silly nonsense that doesn’t assist with anything. You guys really need to rework this last update. My workouts are not as good as they used to be so now I’m fighting them every day checking histories to see what i should push. This might drive me away from this app if it is not fixed somewhat soon.

I would say it’s a good app but I HAVE to get a subscription to use the app and I shouldn’t have to.

Won’t reload my bench press weights also needs AI to search and ask questions about specific lists why and which would be better

The workouts are good when you start but then as you go is significantly increases your weight, reps and sets in between just one session.

Please stop forcing me to rate the app

Es buena app pero no sincroniza con garmin

I’ve used Fitbod for about a year, with 235 workouts and 8.8 million pounds of volume logged. The insights, Apple Watch integration, and logging are genuinely good, and I’ve stayed with it through a gym change. Two gaps are making it hard to justify the subscription, and I’ll frame them from a product perspective since that’s my work. The muscle model is too coarse. Fitbod treats back as one unit, but lats, traps, rhomboids, and rear delts are trained by different movements. I’d want to filter the exercise library by region, so I could select rhomboids and see every exercise that trains them, or select back for the full group. It matters for the engine too. If recovery tracking can’t distinguish lats from upper back, it reads “back trained” and recommends accordingly, even when I’ve hit one hard and left the other untouched. Fitbod already tags exercises by muscle, so this is finer granularity in existing tagging, and it benefits every user. The library doesn’t cover specialty equipment. I train at a gym stocked with Panatta, Watson, Atlantis, and Prime Fitness, brands built around resistance profiles rather than general commercial use. Custom exercises don’t solve it. I type the name, classify the loading type, and tag muscles myself, and per your own documentation the algorithm still doesn’t adjust for custom exercises. I do the work and get a record the engine ignores. What I’d want is to search a machine by name, have the app classify it, and treat it like any library exercise, including a starting weight estimate refined over the first few sessions the way Fitbod already does for new exercises. Both are refinements to systems you’ve built, not new products. Recent releases haven’t addressed either, and at the current price the value isn’t there for me.

This app has made the gym more accessible for me & that’s made me more consistent than ever. 15 weeks not missing a work out, seeing consistent gains & easily tracking progress. However I got an injury that kept me out of the gym for a week (ankle & wrist injury, couldn’t even go on walks) which ruined the streak I was so proud of. I’m also now back at the gym but frustrated I can’t give specific feedback about my injuries (what parts of my body I need to be gentle with) to curb the exercises provided. After this experience I’m begging for a vacation and/or injury mode. As my wrist and ankle are healing, it would be awesome to know what exercises I should avoid & also which ones I can do to slowly build strength back up. I hope something like this becomes available in the future!

I wish the app had an easier way to adjust workout based on joint issues or limitations
