GymAdapt: free AI plans, adaptive weights, iPhone only
We make GymAdapt, so judge our scores with that in mind. What it does: builds a plan for your goal, days, equipment and injuries, shows a video for every lift, logs every set and raises your weights as you get stronger. What it does not do yet: Android or an Apple Watch app. Free to $24.99 a year. Get GymAdapt free on the App Store →
We scored each app on four things: the free version, value for the paid version, whether it plans your training (not just logs it), and ease of use. Prices are US App Store prices, checked October 2026. Scores are our opinion; we make GymAdapt and say so wherever it appears.
