Fitbod alternatives.

What Fitbod is, and is not

Fitbod is the best-known personalised strength app ( over 15 million downloads and a 4.8 rating ) and it is very good at the thing it does. Its own site is explicit that it focuses on resistance-based work and that running and dedicated cardio planning are not primary features.

That is not a flaw. It is a scope decision, and if you only lift it is the right one.

If you also run

This is where the gap opens. Bolting a running app onto a strength app gives you two plans that do not know each other exists, and the collision is predictable: heavy legs the day before a long run.

An app that plans both puts them in one week, spaced so neither undercuts the other. FitBoost does this, free and with no account. Runna does it too, as a subscription with more race-specific depth.

If the subscription is the reason

If you only lift and you want it free, a dedicated free strength logger will go deeper on strength than FitBoost does, FitBoost is a planner rather than a logging tool, and it plans running as well.

Be honest with yourself about which of the two reasons brought you here, because they point different ways.

What FitBoost gives up against Fitbod

Stated plainly, because it matters if strength is your main sport:

• No Android version, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch only
• Less depth on pure strength progression than a dedicated strength app
• No community and no coaching
• New, with not enough App Store ratings yet to show a score
• But: free, no account, works offline, and it plans your running too

Method and limits

Everything stated about Fitbod comes from its own public website, checked in August 2026, and is limited to what that source says directly. We do not list Fitbod pricing because it is not published on the page we checked and it varies by region.
