GymAdapt: the Fitbod job for $24.99 a year, or free to start
It builds a plan around your goal, days, equipment and injuries, shows a video for every lift, and picks your next weight from your logged sets. Want a shorter session or a different exercise? Ask the coach. Free to start, so you can compare it side by side with Fitbod before paying anything.
Fitbod popularised the AI workout app, and it is still good at what it does. But it went up from $12.99 to $15.99 a month (and $79.99 to $95.99 a year), and it has no free tier. If you are looking at that renewal, these are the apps that cover the same ground.

What you give up by leaving Fitbod
- Its recovery model. Fitbod picks each session around which muscles are fresh. Plan-based apps like GymAdapt follow a weekly plan instead, which many lifters prefer for consistency.
- Android, if GymAdapt is your pick. GymAdapt is iPhone only for now.
- Your history in one place. Export your Fitbod data before you cancel and keep the file.
How to switch without losing progress
- Export your workout history from Fitbod's settings before the subscription ends.
- Write down your current working weights for your main lifts.
- Set up the new app with the same training days, and enter those weights in your first sessions.
- Give it two weeks of logging so its progression has data to work with.
GymAdapt is free to start. Want Pro free for a month?
The free version gives you an AI-built plan and unlimited workouts. Code TRYFREE01 adds a full month of Pro: weights that adjust from what you log and unlimited coach chats.
Redeem the free month → Opens the App Store with the code filled in. iPhone only. After the month it's $4.99/mo unless you cancel in Settings, and the free version stays yours either way.Questions people ask
What is the best alternative to Fitbod?
GymAdapt is the closest match for less money: AI-built plan, weights that adapt from your logged sets, and a coach that edits workouts, with a free tier and Pro at $24.99 a year (our app, iPhone only). On Android, Gravl and Planfit are the closest options.
Is there a free alternative to Fitbod?
Yes. GymAdapt's free tier includes an AI plan, unlimited workouts and 30 days of adaptive weights. Planfit has a free AI plan. Hevy and Boostcamp are free if you only need logging or a ready-made program.
How much does Fitbod cost in 2026?
In the US, $15.99 a month or $95.99 a year after a 7-day free trial. Prices vary by country.
Is Fitbod better than Hevy?
They do different jobs. Fitbod plans your workouts and suggests weights; Hevy is a logger where you bring the plan. If you want the planning without Fitbod's price, look at GymAdapt or Gravl.
Can I move my Fitbod history to another app?
Fitbod lets you export your data. Keep that file. In most new apps the simplest route is to enter your current working weights in your first sessions; the app learns from there.
