Fitbod review

Fitbod suits lifters who like the idea of a personal trainer planning each session but do not want to follow a set class. Its AI builds a customized workout from your goals, fitness level and available equipment, varies and balances exercises across muscle groups, and learns from the edits you make to its suggestions. Fitbod says it uses non-linear periodization to keep progress going, and it covers beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, plus home sessions with no equipment. The library holds more than 1,000 exercises, each with hi-res, multi-angle video and written instructions, searchable by muscle group, equipment or keyword. You can save and build your own routines, and pro trainers answer questions by email. Workouts sync with Apple Health, Apple Watch, Strava and Fitbit. After a free trial, Fitbod Elite is billed monthly or yearly, but its App Store listing shows several legacy prices, so we have marked its price as pending.
