Fitness AI Gym Workout Planner

Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

Fitness AI offers effective workout tracking and personalized plans for strength training, but its high cost, numerous bugs, and difficult cancellation process make it a questionable value.

Fitness AI is a workout planner that helps users track progress and provides personalized strength training routines, leading to noticeable gains for many. However, it is criticized for being expensive, having persistent bugs, and making it extremely difficult to cancel subscriptions, with many users reporting unauthorized charges.

Free vs paid

The app is advertised as free to download but quickly presents paywalls, requiring a subscription to log sets and access most features R17R26R424. Users report being unable to use the app without paying, even for basic functions like logging workouts R21R36. The paid version offers personalized workout plans, progress tracking, and exercise recommendations, which some users find very effective for muscle gain and body transformation R13R28R81R109. However, even paid users experience spammy pop-ups and promotions R30R32R35R16, and some features like the body scan require an additional charge beyond the subscription R73R78R56.

Value complaints

  • Many users report being charged for subscriptions, often the annual $89.99 fee, even after canceling free trials or attempting to cancel subscriptions, with no clear in-app or website cancellation options.R1R2R5R6
  • The app is considered expensive, with annual costs reaching $89.99, especially given its limitations and bugs.R31R65R70R149
  • Some features, like the body scan, require additional payment even for premium subscribers, leading to accusations of bait-and-switch.R56R73R78
  • The app uses a paywall immediately after setup, despite being listed as free, preventing users from logging workouts without a subscription.R17R26R36R424
  • Paid users are subjected to frequent, full-screen pop-up ads and promotions, which is seen as unacceptable for a paid service.R16R30R32R35

Where it delivers

  • The app is effective for tracking workouts, suggesting weight increases, and helping users achieve progressive overload and muscle gains.R13R19R28R35
  • It provides clear exercise diagrams and instructions, making it helpful for beginners to learn proper form and understand workouts.R27R44R81R92
  • The app offers personalized workout plans that adapt over time, which can be motivating and lead to significant body changes.R27R28R92R109
  • It serves as a good gym partner, simplifying workout tracking and making suggestions for progression.R19R34R68R89
Worth paying if

It is worth paying if you are a beginner or intermediate lifter primarily focused on weight training and progressive overload, and you are comfortable with the app's limitations regarding cardio and custom exercises R19R92. It can be beneficial if you need a structured program and enjoy tracking your progress visually R35R19, and if you are willing to overlook the app's bugs and potential customer service issues.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip this app if you are looking for an app with robust cardio options, warm-up/cool-down routines, or the ability to add custom exercises R4R24. Advanced lifters who want more varied or complex routines might find it too basic and repetitive . Users who prioritize a smooth, bug-free experience, reliable customer support, and an easy cancellation process should also avoid it, due to widespread complaints about glitches, unresponsive support, and fraudulent charging practices R1R2R5R6.

Evidence note: Recent reviews are heavily skewed negative due to widespread complaints about subscription cancellation difficulties and unauthorized charges, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews are short and lack detail.

  1. [R1] 1/5 · US Super shady!!! Do not download!!!: I downloaded the app, started the three day trial and then decided that it was not a good fit for me. When I went to cancel it, it was almost impossible. The website states that you either cancel it using the gear icon to get to membership settings In the app or your iCloud subscriptions. Neither were available for me. I ended up having to go to the Fitness AI w
  2. [R2] 1/5 · US Fraud: I have tried to cancel this app since i got it and it will not cancel. I reached out and i do not want to be charged. This is horrible!!!
  3. [R5] 1/5 · US Can’t unsubscribe: I just got charged for a new year’s subscription, but there is no way in the app to cancel and no way to contact the company to cancel the subscription. It isn’t handled by Apple so can’t cancel in the normal way through phone settings. Really sketchy behavior all around. I’d like a refund and a way to cancel so it doesn’t happen again.
  4. [R6] 1/5 · US CANT CANCEL: I got the free trial of this app, but I did not want to proceed with the membership, this app has no option to cancel membership within app, or even through the website. I couldn’t even cancel it through my settings/account/subscriptions. I receive no email on my confirmation of free trial or subscription. I ended up getting charged $90 for an app and membership I don’t want, I do not
  5. [R31] 1/5 · US Pricey af: Good. Pricey af.
  6. [R65] 1/5 · US App doesn’t even open: I paid $90 for this app and it doesn’t even open half of the time, it just loads and loads, I tried deleting it and downloading again, resetting my phone, nothing. It’s NOT worth the price.
  7. [R70] 1/5 · US Scammy!: This app keeps trying to charge my credit card every single day even though I installed and removed it and cancelled. They don’t use the App Store billing probably so they can do garbage like this. Also: sneaky thing, you have to email their support TWICE to actually have it go to someone. Switching to Ladder or Hevy haven’t decided which yet. Also they charge $80/year and it just
  8. [R149] 3/5 · US Expensive!: I like the app but man is it expensive! I’ll probably search elsewhere.
  9. [R56] 1/5 · US Confused and false advertising: I had purchased the full 44.99 Black Friday sale that said it included the full body scan however it didn’t work and wanted me to pay more money. I’m disappointed in the app and would just like to have my refund and I’ll be on my way and I’ll stick with my own workout plan. Thanks for the inconvenience
  10. [R73] 4/5 · US Body Scan Scam?: This app offers you a full body scan, you must consent to them taking your data and processing it . They take the scan hassle free, tell you to wait a few minutes before the results are ready and when you click to see the results, they make you pay $20+ to see those results. I was half nude for the scan, and already using the premium version of the app before they held my data hos
  11. [R78] 3/5 · US Body Scanner not included in price of subscription: The workouts are decent but you have to pay an additional charge for the body scanner.
  12. [R17] 1/5 · US free bait and switch app: Listed as free to increase their download numbers. Paywalls you as soon as you’re done wasting time building a profile.
  13. [R26] 1/5 · US Pay only now: I used to LOVE this app, but now it’s pay only with no free option and I already pay for too many monthly subscriptions. I would watch ads of that’s what it took to keep it free, but as it is, I’m canceling my account I’ve had for 6 years and deleting the app. Greed is crushing this country in 2026.
  14. [R36] 2/5 · US Glitchy and freezes in between sets using watch.: This app does not work as well as it thinks it does. They charge you money for an app that does not work well with my Apple Watch and freezes all the time to where I have to pause my workout just to get it working again. Logged back in today and now they are charging just to log sets uninstalled it and will never use it again. Save your money and u
  15. [R424] 3/5 · CA Okay app: It’s a good app for starting out and learning and developing workouts and such the unfortunate part is that it’s 100% pay to use, and if you don’t wanna pay your stuck in this preview mode where everything you click on it throws a pop up in your face saying you gotta pay $25 a month, or the other two options just to be able to log a set, which is a bit of a joke tbh
  16. [R16] 1/5 · US Ruining a good thing: I use to love this app but you are disappointingly destroying what made it good, which was simplicity and distraction free design. Now you are spamming me with stupid challenge pop ups that I have to x out of every time I open the app. Also I had messaged support a little while back that the one thing that would make this app better would be the ability to add custom exerci
  17. [R30] 1/5 · US THE ONE: PLEASE STOP SHOWING ME ADS IN AN APP I PAY FOR I have tried sooooo many fitness apps, and after 4 years, I think I have found that one that will make a difference. To give some context, I am a 21 year old male that is 140 pounds and I am looking to gain weight by building muscle. After only a month of using this app I am already noticing a difference, and people around me are too. This
  18. [R32] 2/5 · US Spammy Pop-Ups for Paid Users 👎🏻: Really disappointing that as a paid user for SEVERAL years (5 to be exact) I started getting pop-ups every time I open the app. It looks tacky and should not be the experience for users paying $60+ per year for an app.
  19. [R35] 3/5 · US Good app but stop spamming me every time I open it: I like this app. I pay for this app. It genuinely helps you progressively overload and incrementally track your progress in visual, easy to understand. BUT every time I open the app it serves me the same full screen takeover pop up promoting something. If I pay for this app I should be seeing no promotions, especially that take over the full scre
  20. [R13] 5/5 · US Amazing: I freaking love this app in my view it’s worth it to pay for the subscription, I pay for the whole year at once n it’s a lot cheaper that way. Seeing gains my first week
  21. [R19] 5/5 · US Like a gym partner: This app a gym partner. I used to carry around a small pad of paper and write down the amount of reps the amount of weight so that I could keep track this that makes it a lot easier and even makes suggestions on when to increase. I’d recommend this for anybody newbie or veteran
  22. [R28] 5/5 · US AWESOME GROWTH: I’m on my 3rd real consist month of this app. I am absolutely WOWED on my progress and gains. My body looks completely different and I already have to buy new clothes to fit into. I am so happy I finally decided to give this a real shot. I have been trying to get this progress for years. Now thanks to the app it’s actually happening.
  23. [R27] 5/5 · US Changed my life: This is a great app, I’ve been using it for a few years and it’s made such a difference. I did know my way around the gym before using it, having seen a trainer years before, but the diagrams are useful even for beginners. One area of improvement: as I get more experienced- and let’s face it… as I get older - I find that I need to manually update the weight and rep increases. I f
  24. [R44] 5/5 · US Game Changer!: I first started going to the gym about 8 months ago. With never having been to a gym in life. This app has helped me understand the workouts and has taught me how to plan my own. Now I actually don’t feel like I need to even have the app. It has opened up my life to the joys of working out. I honestly don’t know where o would be without it. Sure there are other apps that could have
  25. [R81] 5/5 · US On my way to a healthy retirement!: I started this app with my husband using his routine and loved it! It shows you how to do each one correctly and gives tips. Love that it shows the muscles you are using and working. It’s been 6 months and I’ve seen results in body shape and weight loss. Now purchased my own app and love the ease of recording rather than using my notebook, love that I can work o
  26. [R92] 5/5 · US Great for beginners and advanced: I started using FitnessAI back in 2019, and it completely changed my approach to working out. I used to avoid the gym because I had no idea what I was doing and gave up easily. This app made fitness approachable and motivating. It has something for every level, beginner to advanced with all types of workouts, cardio, HIIT, strength, etc. Best part? It learns your
  27. [R109] 5/5 · US Excellent App: I absolutely love this app! It effectively tracks my workouts and weight, and the exercise recommendations are exceptional. The coach assistance is definitely my favorite feature, it feels like having my very own personal coach right at my fingertips!
  28. [R34] 5/5 · US 👍: Great product. Great way to track and schedule lifts. Good customer service.
  29. [R68] 5/5 · US Awesome: Awesome app tracks weight from previous workouts and plenty of alternatives. Create your own workouts or let it do it for you.
  30. [R89] 5/5 · US Exceptional App: I was lost in the gym before using this app. Now I can see better results.
  31. [R10] 1/5 · US Stop charging me: Hello - I continued to receive a charge for a $89.99 subscription but I do not have an active account with your company. Please have someone in your customer service department reach out to me.
  32. [R14] 1/5 · US Scammers: The don’t you option to cancel free trial so they can charge you $89 scammers
  33. [R29] 1/5 · US DO NOT EVER GET THIS APP: I pressed the week FREE trial, cancelled it before it ended because I couldn’t understand the app.. a day after my birthday they all all my birthday money $100* out of my account. I made a dispute the following day through apple. They didn’t do nothing. Contacted the app through email they saying they can’t do nothing. lol please do not waste your life on this app. I am a
  34. [R4] 3/5 · US Average: I like that it compares me to others in my weight and age group. It’s easy to track your workouts. It doesn’t have cardio. It also doesn’t understand warm up sets or pyramiding, or working to failure. You need to do every set to a certain rep count and weight or it will consider it a failure. The AI just isn’t intelligent. This could be a great app in a year or two if the developers stick
  35. [R24] 3/5 · US Needs more cardio: If you like to incorporate cardio to your workout, this is not the greatest app. Overall, great selection for weight training.
  36. [R38] 3/5 · US 4 star!: Great app for tracking workouts, I’ve used it twice so far. One star less, though. I wish they had more kettlebell exercises; there are only five in the app. It would also be great if there were a way to add our own exercises that aren’t part of their database.
  37. [R49] 3/5 · US Convenient but no support: This app is so convenient and not having to record my lifting sessions, but there is absolutely no live support. If I want to engage in certain exercises that are not on the app, it’s very hard to record. For example, there are no Bulgarian split squats, B stance RDL‘s. Glut trainer machines. I wish there was a way to add my own exercise exercises that are not in the lis
  38. [R21] 1/5 · US App has a bug: It won’t let me log workouts and I paid for premium so it’s super annoying will delete if it doesn’t work by tomorrow.
  39. [R25] 1/5 · US Latest version 16.0 unusable: Unable to add a new exercise. Unable to start a new day.
  40. [R33] 2/5 · US Can’t report: I looked all over the app and the website to find a spot to say this, but it didn’t pop out at me so when I was trying to do the 45 day calorie burner challenge that they have it wasn’t saving my progress from set to set so I stopped participating. For referenc I’m using a iPhone 16 Pro that’s fully updated.
