What Fitbod offers

Fitbod describes itself as a personalised AI trainer: it builds each session for your goals, equipment and recovery from over 1,000 exercises, and connects to Apple Health, Apple Watch, Strava and Fitbit. Its plans are part of a paid membership.

What Platesmith does differently

  • 131 ready-made programs, all free. From a first month in the gym to block periodisation, for a full gym, machines, dumbbells or no equipment. Each one moves the weight for you. See more.
  • Training and food in one app. Calorie and protein targets that follow your goal, 8,863 foods built in, barcode scanning and ready meal plans.
  • Nothing tracked. No ads, no analytics and no trackers, in the app or on this site. Without an account nothing you log reaches us. See more.
  • Works offline, no account needed. Sign in only if you want sync, which runs on a server we own.
  • Rest timer everywhere. On the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on Apple Watch. Workouts and bodyweight go to Apple Health.

Pick Fitbod if

You want a fresh, machine-made session every time you open the app instead of following a set program.

Switching

Platesmith imports CSV history from Strong, Hevy and FitNotes; it can't read a Fitbod export yet, so start fresh or log your current weights in the first week. You can export everything from Platesmith as CSV at any time.
