Fitbod has been around since 2015 and pioneered the "AI picks your workout" idea. Searches for it are up sharply worldwide this year, mostly from people asking one thing: is it worth the price? We looked at the 2026 pricing, how the algorithm works and the most common complaints.
Fitbod price in 2026
| Plan | Price (US) | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Free trial | 7 days | - |
| Monthly | $15.99 | $15.99 |
| Yearly | $95.99 | ≈$8.00 |
Fitbod has no permanent free tier: after the trial you subscribe or stop. Older listings showed $12.99/month and $79.99/year; the current price is higher.
How Fitbod works
You tell Fitbod your goal, experience and equipment. Each time you open it, it builds a workout from which muscles are fresh (its "muscle recovery" model), your past performance and your goal, and suggests sets, reps and weights. You can swap exercises, change the length and log as you go.
What Fitbod does well
- Zero planning: open the app and a workout is ready.
- Equipment profiles: separate gym and home setups.
- Polished design and clear exercise videos.
- Suggested weights that adjust from your logs.
- Apple Watch app and Apple Health sync.
Where Fitbod falls short
- Price: $95.99 a year is about four times Hevy Pro or GymAdapt Pro.
- No free tier after the 7-day trial.
- Workouts change a lot. The rotating selection keeps things fresh, but makes it harder to repeat the same lifts and watch them climb, which is how most people measure progress.
- Less structure: no clear weekly split or block you can see ahead of time unless you set it up.

Our verdict
Fitbod is a good app with a high price. If you value a fresh workout every day and the cost does not bother you, it is a fine choice. If you want a plan you can repeat and progress, or you do not want to pay $96 a year, start with GymAdapt's free plan or Hevy, and upgrade only if you outgrow them. Try GymAdapt free →
