Fitbod alternatives: the best training apps in 2026
Fitbod builds your workouts for you — but there is no permanent free tier and the subscription sits well above the field. For a cheaper tracker, Hevy; for training and nutrition together, GymLog AI.
Why look for a Fitbod alternative?
Fitbod's idea is good: the app builds your next workout itself, based on recovery and the equipment you have. The usual reason people leave is price. A September 2026 pricing roundup puts Fitbod at roughly US$15.99 per month or US$95.99 per year — and there is no permanent free version: once the trial ends you can still read old workouts but cannot log new ones.
The second reason: Fitbod covers training only. Calories live elsewhere.
The best Fitbod alternatives in 2026
- GymLog AI – training, nutrition and an AI coach in one chat. iOS and Android.
- Hevy – ad-free, unlimited routines on the free tier, 4.9 stars. The cheapest serious tracker.
- Strong – very tidy; free tier capped at three custom routines.
Fitbod vs. GymLog AI head to head
Honestly: Fitbod's strength is the automatic planning — if you would rather not decide what today's session is, the alternatives will not give you that. GymLog AI does not build a plan for you; it records what you do and answers questions about it. If saving money is the goal, Hevy is the pick.
Who GymLog AI suits as a Fitbod alternative
GymLog AI fits if you already know your split and just want it documented properly — with nutrition in the same chat. If you want every session proposed for you, stay with Fitbod.
