AI personal trainer and workout apps compared
People asking for “the best workout app” usually mean one of four things: an app that plans workouts for you (Fitbod, Freeletics, Zing AI), a coach-written program (Ladder), a logger for the program you already have (Hevy), or a race tool (ROXFIT for Hyrox). MyTrainer is an AI personal trainer with a chat coach and nutrition. Here is how they compare, and when another app is the better choice.

- Check nutrition. MyTrainer includes a meal plan and macro tracking; Freeletics sells nutrition in a separate app; the others do not list nutrition features.
- Check your phone and language: Ladder lists iPhone and Apple Watch only; Fitbod is not available in French.
- Compare the real price: the free version, monthly vs yearly, and paid add-ons.
