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.

PT Distinction

  • The $19.90 per month Basic plan includes only 3 clients, with each extra client costing $6.00 per month after the first month
  • The per-extra-client rate falls with the plan, from $6.00 on Basic to $2.40 on Pro and $1.60 on Master, so smaller coaches pay the most per client
  • Custom branded iOS and Android apps require the Pro plan at $59.90 per month; Basic ships unbranded apps
  • There is no free plan; the entry point is a one-month free trial
  • Client counts included are 3, 25 and 50, so growing past a tier means either an upgrade or per-client overage
