Fitbod: Gym & Fitness Planner

I got this app to stay in shape while I’m sailing for 6 months. Amazing app with a good variety of workouts tailored to the equipment you have. Syncs with a variety devices to log your workouts. I love it!

I’ve been using Fitbod since February 2021 and I’ve never stopped. This is the first and only app I’ve ever used for fitness. It guides me on my cuts, bulks, muscle building phases and strength building phases. It helps me stay accountable and updates my workouts when I add equipment to my home gym. I will be a lifetime customer. Update: they are constantly updating the app with new exercises and features like muscles to focus on and they recently gave the option to avoid exercises if you have an injury.

Without the app and its ability to be modified with all movements, I would not have had the progress I’ve attained over the past year. Strength and conditioning is my profession. I just don’t like to program my own workouts. So, Fitbod takes that responsibility. I just show up, follow the plan and watch my performance and fitness improve. Nice work Fitbod!

Need more legs

I’ve been using this app for nearly 3 years and love it. Easily adjustable but creates fantastic routines that work with your goals, equipment and schedule while constantly adjusting Onnit’s own to help you get where you want to be.

Absolutely love this app. It has helped me so much this past year. The auto generated workouts saved me time and helped me stick to a routine. Things I would love to see in the future: - a way to program in my own warmup and cool downs. For example, I start each workout with a one mile walk on the treadmill, and end my workouts with another walk. Right now I have to manually enter them everyday. - go heavier on the abs. 1 ab workout usually leaves me wanting more and adding additional exercises is kind of annoying.

Need to add wrist deviation and, supination pronation(rotations)

Excellent for seniors, adjust for days absent.

This app used to have a great design and was thoughtfully put together but the latest update has made it more difficult to generate the workouts I used to love. The fitbod-promoted AI behind these workouts doesn’t account for real human physiology and has made using the app almost intolerable. I have been subscribed for years but I now essentially have to build my own workouts every single time I use it and that ruins the convenience for me. It’s a shame the company pivoted this way, I have canceled my subscription and will be taking my business to another workout app such as Ladder instead.

Excellent app, tons of workouts, and tracking it impeccable. Love this app. @fitbod let me be a brand ambassador!

Just tried this out and it is smart and takes out the guesswork

When supersets are unbalanced as in one has a warm up and the 3 sets with the opposite just having a plain 3 sets, the timer is out of sync. Instead, you must manually jump out after logging the warmup set back into the starting exercise in order to properly start the sequence. It’s an annoying feature on a paid app that is easily fixed through a software fix.

Easy to use, priced right, easy to give a 14 day trial to a friend, easy to cancel, robust features l. Go heavy go lite it undoubtedly the best app out there for getting and staying fit.

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

Finally an app that Helps not only with logging your reps and your weights but guides you through what you need to be doing so that you don’t burn out one body part and forget another body part. The videos are very helpful so you understand exactly what you’re supposed to be doing.

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.

This app used to be wonderful. The new Beta Coach is simply terrible. Recommending six reps when you typically do 20-25 on any given day exercise. It doesn’t adapt to your progress the way the app used to. They should not be charging people money for this.

I found this app in 2019 and it really helped me in my fitness journey then. I've used it off and on for a bit and I always find myself coming back and re-subscribing. I love the versatility of the app and the new AI coaching capabilities.

Used it for some time now and have enjoyed the variety and being able to switch your goals.

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’m loving fitbod and how it has helped me stay on an exercise regimen

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.

Best app, to follow workout sessions.

I have over 4500 workouts logged. I used to love this app and the community. I was even on the early adoption team for new releases. This app has not kept up with others in the space. I only use it to keep my workouts logged, although there are better and less expensive apps out there for this. Note: the only reason I’m writing the review is because the app kept annoying me to give it a rating.

Love lifting but it only became effective after I started using FitBod, which has increased my strength, mass, and definition. And it’s done it safely which is important since I’m closing in on 70 years old. Or, hopefully, 70 years jacked!

I’ve been subscribed to Fitbod since 2024, yet I still do virtually all the workout programming myself. Despite extensive training history, exercise substitutions, preferences, and corrections, I routinely rebuild its recommendations rather than follow them. The Beta Coach mostly points out the obvious like identifying the element of an upcoming workout instead of delivering actionable insights. Progress reports emphasize activity totals while overlooking meaningful strength progression and exercise-specific personal records. I continue subscribing primarily for strength scores and my workout history data (baselines/ records), not personalized programming. These tracking features alone hardly justify premium pricing when the app’s core functionality still requires extensive manual intervention. Fitbod claims its AI learns from training and workout adjustments to deliver personalized programming. After more than two year of providing both, why am I still doing virtually all the programming myself and what actually justifies $96 annually?

No noticeable difference between this app and any of its competitors

Great App! I find it easier to use than many others and love how they show workouts, and you can adjust time and exercises.

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.

I love the ease of using it. I set my goals, it assigns a workout, I can alter if needed and it automatically increases weight as I become stronger. There’s no thinking. Just do the workout and get stronger.

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.

I absolutely love this app. I’ve been using it for 7 months. It holds me accountable, teaches me how to correctly do an exercise, increases weights and or reps when needed. I can’t workout without it and can’t say enough great things about it.

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.

Love this app! Super easy to use and love the “how to’s” as well!

Fit bod keeps the gym interesting

I’ve been using this app for three years now and I can honestly say that it’s been worth the cost. It keeps me on track and motivated. Along with my iwatch it takes care of tracking and planning my workouts. What I would like to see though are options within the exercises where you can change focus from one muscle group to another,as well as changing focus to specific parts of the muscle group. Being able to target upper chest by switching grip or focusing on not just the glute but the different areas some exercises that target specific parts of the glute. Also my weights are limited but fornsome reason all of my exercises are less reps and sets than I have been doing. Just curious about that.

Great app. Real simple to use and navigate. Workout suggestions are good for all levels. Easily change out exercises or weights and the app adjusts. Worth the subscription price for sure.

I’ve had this app for almost 5 years. I think that says enough, but I’ll continue. I love the versatility of the app, by that I mean there are multiple “automatic” settings that you can set if you want the app to build workouts for you, help you figure out how many exercises you should be doing and more. I generally use it more to help my build my own workouts and keep track of what I like. It helps track your goals and progress as well. There are some things I’d change but that can be said for basically every app in existence. For the devs: my only recent thought would be that it’d be awesome if there was a calendar tab in the app. To see what workouts were upcoming and more. For me I like building weeks ahead what workouts I’m going to do and I’m sure other people would feel the same. That way if people only like runs or bikes on certain days, instead of having to change the exercise everytime the app says to do it. They can plan ahead what workouts for what days and what exercises they’re going to do. I’m sure it would help people stay on track and look ahead at what the app has in store for them. It would also help a great way to track progress and see future benchmarks. Also a way to write notes on the app, for different exercises and such.

Honestly a great app at a great price. I got tired of making my own workouts so I started using this app. It’s given me some great options and it’s all tracked on my Apple Watch, so it makes it easier to close my rings on the days I don’t do cardio.

This app is perfect for those who have an at home gym but have trouble figuring out workout to focus on your full body!

Used a lot of apps and Fitbod is my favorite. Makes working out easy. Only downside is when I forget my phone…not sure what to do!

Fantastic for getting started and keeping me motivated. It does all the “heavy lifting” in regards to putting together a workout. Love the fact it takes injury into consideration!

My sister got me started working out and recommended this app. I’ve since got friends using it as well. I did not even know where or how to start working out before this app. Keeps me on track and teaches how to lift correctly. Love it!

I wanted to lose weight. I didn’t have the money for a trainer and when I got to the gym reading the machine instructions and feeling pressure from just not knowing what to do and how to do it correctly to efficiently lose weight was overwhelming. I used the trial and was sold. Thai app eliminated the mental drain for what and how to do my workout. It makes it so simple that I grew a confidence that normally comes with years in the gym with just one week of use. I am going strong 3-4 years and still love it. I do wish it were easier to personalize the workout equipment available per space for big gyms like chuze define etc. and an option to sync your weight muscle mass and visceral fat from a connected scale versus only one way sync from Fitbod to Apple health.

Great app to help you keep track of your progress and lots of different equipment and weights available

I like the app because I don’t necessarily need to think of an entire workout. I can get in the gym mindlessly and have a workout planned already. Helps me stay consistent. Busy Military Approved!

Excellent app user interface is simple and this well put together providing a tailored fitness experience only thing missing is the personal trainer.

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.

If you’re a serious body builder, or athlete, then you need to get this app. Plain and simple, easy to use, and very efficient.
