Fitbod Alternatives: 8 Apps by What You Want to Keep

It depends on what you liked about Fitbod. For workouts built around which muscles are recovered, switch to Gravl. For a program planned in advance with targets set for you, look at Alpha Progression, MacroFactor Workouts, Hevy Trainer, RP Hypertrophy or Boostcamp. As of October 2026, Hevy Trainer is the cheapest of those that builds one for you, at $23.99 a year. If you only want to log a program you already have, Hevy and Strong are free. GainsLog, which I build, is in the planning group, for iPhone, with the same workouts each week and free next-set targets.

Every feature, price and platform below comes from the app makers' help pages, websites and App Store listings, read on 20 October 2026. GainsLog's comes from its code. For reference, Fitbod's help center lists $95.99 a year or $15.99 a month; it costs $79.99 or $95.99 a year on the US App Store, and has no free version after its 7-day trial.

Fitbod builds each workout from your goal, equipment, recent sessions and how recovered each muscle group is, and it varies intensity and volume between sessions on purpose (Fitbod). If that variety is the reason you're leaving, change it first. Under My Plan, Exercise Variability has three levels. Balanced is the default. More Consistent "Retains 70-80% of exercises each week", and Fitbod lists it as best for progressive overload (Fitbod). Focus Exercises adds one main strength lift to each training day, repeated weekly for four weeks with automatic rep and weight adjustments (Fitbod).

Fitbod also sets weekly set targets per muscle group, and its help center says the suggested workouts don't guarantee you'll meet them. It calls this a known limitation and suggests adding exercises by hand or adjusting your split or targeted muscle groups (Fitbod). If you want a week whose sets per muscle are fixed before you start, you need an app that plans the whole week.

Fitbod's help center says that once a trial ends without a subscription, you can still log in and see past workouts, but logging new ones needs a subscription (Fitbod). Deleting your account removes the history for good, and it doesn't cancel the subscription (Fitbod). Fitbod's help center has no page on exporting your workout history, so check the app's settings before you delete anything.

No app below documents an import from Fitbod in the pages read for this article. Alpha Progression says it has none (Alpha Progression). MacroFactor says it can't import from other workout apps yet (MacroFactor). Hevy's documented import is for files exported from Strong (Hevy). GainsLog has no import. Gravl advertises importing workouts from other sources, such as photos of a program, which is not the same as moving your logged history (Gravl). Plan to start a fresh log.

Prices are the yearly products on each app's US App Store listing, except Boostcamp, whose listing doesn't name the period of each product; its price is from Boostcamp's own page. Fitbod's help center lists $95.99 a year and $15.99 a month and says prices vary by platform and region (Fitbod). GainsLog's listing also shows a $29.99 yearly offer and two older products. Check the price in the app before you pay. Every app here except GainsLog also runs on Android; GainsLog's Android app is in closed beta.

Gravl's help pages describe a recovery-based split like Fitbod's. Its recovery split "keeps coming back to the muscles you have trained least recently and that are recovered enough to train" (Gravl), and it has a setting like Fitbod's for how often exercises change: Consistent, Balanced (the default) or Varied (Gravl). Its homepage says it plans your week and recalculates every set, rep and weight after each workout you log. It suggests weights during the workout and runs on iOS and Android (Gravl), with watch apps for Apple Watch, Wear OS and Garmin (Gravl).

On price, Gravl's US listing shows $14.99 a month and yearly plans from $59.99 to $89.99 (App Store), against Fitbod's $79.99 and $95.99 (App Store). Gravl's homepage says "Get started free" but doesn't say what the free version includes. Switch to Gravl if you like how Fitbod works and want a Garmin watch app or a lower yearly offer, not if the varied workouts were the problem.

Alpha Progression, MacroFactor Workouts, Hevy Trainer, RP Hypertrophy and Boostcamp plan a program in advance and set targets for your sessions. A program planned ahead suits you if Fitbod felt random, or if you want to follow one plan for weeks.

Alpha Progression's Pro version builds a plan from your goal, experience and equipment and gives progression recommendations, and it supports more than one gym. The free version lets you log your own plans, with "No plan generator" and "No recommendations" (Alpha Progression). Pro is $79.99 a year (App Store), with a 14-day free trial on the annual plan only (Alpha Progression).

MacroFactor Workouts generates "a complete training program based on your goals, schedule, experience level" and gives targets for sets, reps and reps in reserve (RIR, the reps you could still have done) that adjust as you progress. There's a 7-day free trial, and its site doesn't mention a free plan; a year is $71.99 (MacroFactor).

Hevy Trainer, part of Hevy Pro, generates a program from your goal, experience, equipment and schedule and tells you when to increase the weight and by how much (Hevy). At $23.99 a year it's the cheapest app here that generates a program for you (App Store).

RP Hypertrophy offers ready-made program templates or builds one around the muscles you want to prioritize, gives you the weight and reps to hit each week, and changes the plan from your pump, soreness and workload ratings (RP Strength). It's the most expensive here at $299.99 a year, about three times Fitbod's highest yearly price (App Store). I used RP Hypertrophy before I built GainsLog, and I thought its progression rules were good. The RP Hypertrophy app review covers its rules and prices in detail.

Boostcamp's free version has a large program library, including known programs such as 5/3/1, GZCLP and Reddit PPL, plus logging (App Store). Its homepage lists Auto Progression, weights that adjust from your performance, and a personalized program under Pro, though it also says the free library includes progressive overload (Boostcamp). Boostcamp prices Pro at $59.99 a year with a 7-day trial (Boostcamp). Pick it if you want to follow a known program rather than one built from your settings.

If you already have a program, you don't need to pay to log it. Hevy's free version saves four routines, shows three months of history and allows seven custom exercises (Hevy). Strong's free version saves three templates, and Strong's help page says you'll always be able to use the free version to track workouts (Strong templates, Strong PRO; both pages are from 2021). Both run on Android. Hevy's free version doesn't pick your next weight (Trainer is Pro), and Strong's help pages describe no feature that does. The Hevy vs Strong comparison covers the differences, and Fitbod vs Hevy covers what Hevy Pro adds.

GainsLog is in the planning group. Its program builder asks what you train with (full gym, home gym, dumbbells only, or calisthenics and minimal equipment), your experience, the muscles you want to prioritize, your schedule, session length and split. It shows the weekly sets per muscle before you start. Each workout then repeats every week with the same exercises, and each set's weight and rep targets come from your logged weight, reps and RIR. You can swap an exercise when you need to.

The targets are free for every exercise you've logged before, and the free version saves three workouts. Once a week it can also suggest which of your saved workouts to do next, picked to balance the week's training; Premium makes that unlimited. It picks from your workouts and doesn't generate a new one. Programs are Premium. You can build one during the app's first-run setup, but it stays locked unless you start the free trial or subscribe. Premium is $5.99 a week or $39.99 a year (Premium). The yearly plan costs $40 less than Fitbod's $79.99 plan and $56 less than its $95.99 plan; paid weekly, a year costs $311.48.

GainsLog is the wrong switch if you're on Android (the app is in closed beta), if you want a different workout every session, if you rely on demonstration videos for a large library (Fitbod lists over 1,600 exercises with videos), or if you need to bring your history, since it has no import. It has been on the App Store since November 2025 and had three US ratings on 20 October 2026 (App Store), far fewer than every other app here. For head-to-head comparisons, see GainsLog vs Fitbod, GainsLog vs Hevy and GainsLog vs Strong.

• You like Fitbod's workouts but not the price or the app: Gravl, whose help pages describe a recovery-based split like Fitbod's.
• Fitbod's exercises change too much: set Exercise Variability to More Consistent first. If that isn't enough, pick an app from the planning section above.
• You want a plan that sets your weights for the least money: Hevy with Trainer, $23.99 a year.
• You want detailed targets with RIR and a 7-day trial: MacroFactor Workouts.
• You want a generated plan, recommendations and more than one gym: Alpha Progression Pro.
• You want a plan built around pump and soreness ratings and the price is acceptable: RP Hypertrophy.
• You want to follow a known program such as 5/3/1, free: Boostcamp.
• You already have a program and want to log it for free: Hevy or Strong.
• You're on iPhone and want a weekly program (Premium) with free next-set targets: GainsLog.

If you'd rather follow a weekly program than get a new workout each session, and have each set's weight and rep targets set from what you've logged, see how GainsLog works.
