GymAdapt: Fitbod's planning, Hevy's price
GymAdapt writes your plan with AI, logs your sets in a tap and picks your next weight, plus a coach that can change any workout when you ask. Pro is $24.99 a year, about a quarter of Fitbod, and the free tier has no time limit. Code TRYFREE01 gives a month of Pro free.
Hevy and Fitbod come up together in almost every "best workout app" thread, but they solve different problems. Comparing them on features misses the point; the real question is whether you want to write your own plan.

Pick Hevy if...
- You already follow a program (PPL, 5/3/1, a coach's plan) and just need to record it.
- You want a big free tier and like seeing friends' workouts.
- You are happy deciding your own weights each week.
Pick Fitbod if...
- You want every session generated for you around which muscles are recovered.
- You like variety: Fitbod rotates exercises often.
- The $95.99 a year is not a concern, or you are on Android.
Pick GymAdapt if...
- You want a plan built for you and weights that go up, without paying Fitbod prices.
- You want a stable plan (6-week blocks) rather than a new random session each day, so progress is easy to see.
- You want a video for every exercise and a coach you can ask to "make today 30 minutes" or "swap squats, my knee hurts".
Our honest take
Hevy is the better logger and has the better community. Fitbod has years of polish and runs on Android. GymAdapt is newer and iPhone only, but it is the only one of the three that both plans for you and has a free tier you can keep using.
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
