Whelp, let’s get this over with. It’s almost summer, which means it’s time to start getting back into shape again.
Luckily, we’re living in the golden age of AI, so instead of shuffling off to the gym and getting berated by a personal trainer, there are plenty of apps to create customized fitness plans that adapt to our needs.
Here’s a look at some helpful AI-powered exercise apps.
Fitbod
Fitbod (iOS, Android) uses AI to create personalized strength training plans tailored to your fitness level, goals, and the exercise equipment available to you.
The app tracks your workouts and adjusts the routine over time. There are more than a thousand exercises available, each with detailed instructions and multiple visual angles so you can make sure you’re adopting the proper form.
Pricing is $13 per month or $80 per year.
Freeletics
The Freeletics app (iOS, Android) leverages AI to develop bodyweight workout plans not only designed around your goals, level, and progress but that can adapt to unique situations such as needing to be quiet, short sessions, variable equipment availability, and more.
Don’t let the name fool you. While there is a free version with 20 HIIT workouts and 25 exercises, you’ll want to upgrade to one of the “Freeletics Coach” plans— starting at $35 for three months—to get the most out of it.
Sworkit
Sworkit (iOS, Android) generates custom workouts based on your fitness level, equipment, and time available. There are 500+ workouts and 900+ exercises available.
It provides video instruction and tracks your progress over time, and caters to all types of goals, including pain reduction and injury recovery. It’s even got a library of free, kid-friendly workouts.
Pricing starts at $10 per month but, again, the kid workouts are free. There’s a 7-day trial as well.
Bodbot
BodBot (iOS, Android) uses AI to intelligently tailor the intensity and volume of your exercise routines. Tell it which days work better for you and it’ll adjust workout times to fit your schedule. It can even adapt routines based on recent activity levels and sleep.
It’s also great for dealing with any current or lingering sports injuries you might have. You tell it to skip certain body parts you don’t want to overwork so as to avoid exacerbating inflammation or discomfort.
The app costs $10 per month or $60 per year.
