What is Fitbod?
Fitbod is a strength-training app whose algorithm builds and adapts every workout around your goals, equipment and recovery for gym-goers. Made by Fitbod, Inc., it reports more than 15 million downloads and over 120 million logged workouts, holds a 4.8 rating from 250,000+ reviews, and has been an Apple Editor's Choice.
Fitbod tracks which muscles you have trained and how hard, then picks exercises, sets, reps and weights to balance recovery and apply progressive overload. You tell it what equipment you have, at a gym, at home or with only bands, and it builds sessions to fit. It is used by beginners who do not know what to do in the gym, lifters who want structured progression, and people training at home.
