What is Planfit?
Planfit is an AI personal trainer app that builds gym workout plans around your goals, level and equipment, shows HD video demonstrations of each exercise and tracks your progress. It is made by Planfit Inc. and is available on iOS and Android. The company reports more than 3.8 million users and 87 million logged workouts, with a 4.7 store rating from over 67,000 reviews.
Planfit is aimed at people who want structure in the gym without paying for a human trainer. The AI adjusts sets, reps and weights as you log workouts, voice coaching guides you through sets and rest periods, and recovery tracking shows which muscle groups are ready to train again. The core plan generator is free, and Premium adds a real-time AI coach, deeper muscle recovery tracking and Apple Watch support. Beginners use it to learn exercises and proper form, while regular gym-goers use it to avoid plateaus and keep a reliable workout log.
