Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Fitbod

  • It has no personal trainer or human oversight, so a poorly modelled recovery estimate or misconfigured equipment list can produce an unsuitable workout with nobody to catch it.
  • It lacks a community or social layer, which matters to users who want group challenges or accountability features.
  • There is no dedicated nutrition coaching add-on the way Freeletics offers, so diet guidance is entirely absent.
  • The free trial is short at seven days, giving little time to judge whether the generated programming suits a specific training goal like powerlifting or bodybuilding.
  • It depends on accurate equipment logging, so gyms with unusual or shared equipment can produce workouts that do not match what is actually available.

Mariana Tek

  • None of the three packages (Core, Core plus Growth, Full Growth Bundle) shows a price; each tier displays only a Book a demo button
  • The Core package is scoped to single locations just getting started
  • Add on features are bought by upgrading the membership, so the entry package price is not the final cost
  • Card payments run through Stripe at its standard flat rate for all purchases regardless of card type
