Frequently asked questions

Do I need Fitbod if I already have a program?

Not necessarily. A tracker can be enough when a coach or established program supplies the workout. Generated planning solves a different job.

Are these independent hands-on test results?

No. This is Trainer's editorial comparison of documented features. Trainer claims are checked against the app implementation; other apps link to product pages or store listings. It does not claim measured speed, better results, or hands-on testing of every app.

How should I compare prices and free tiers?

Check the platform, region, renewal period, and feature you need at the official checkout. A free download or trial is not a permanent free tier. Unconfirmed prices are labeled check current pricing.
