Fitbod Workout & Gym Planner
Strength Training & Fitness
Want to build an effective workout, but not sure where to start? Data-based weight-lifting app Fitbod eliminates the guesswork by creating hyper-personalised workout regimens and tracking your success.
What we love: Add your height, weight and age – or sync with the Health app – to establish your current fitness level and activity. Then, faster than it takes to do a squat, Fitbod creates a workout based on your last reported gym sesh. If you’ve just gone for a run, for example, it will focus on the upper body. Each session targets different muscles, ones that are fresh and recovered, and puts them to work.
Quick tip: If you’ve got an injury (or an equipment limitation), you can change exercises by swiping left to delete – replace the movement with a related task or something totally new. If you need a little guidance, tap each exercise to view a how-to video.
Meet the creator: Allen Chen and Jesse Venticinque came up with the idea for Fitbod while working out at a friend’s gym in San Francisco. They recognised the need for an easy-to-access program that could draw on past fitness progress, develop plans in real time and adapt to any gym’s equipment.
