Fitbod is great
if you go to a gym.

Fitbod is built around the assumption that you have access to a barbell, a rack, dumbbells in 5lb increments, cable machines, and the time to use them. The smart algorithm only works if you log every set with the right weight and the right RPE. Skip a few sessions and the recommendations drift. Travel for a week and the system forgets what you can do.

For a serious gym lifter that's a feature. For someone trying to move every day from their living room, it's a tax.

No gym. No logging.
Press start.

Baseline is bodyweight only. There is nothing to log, because the system already knows what it gave you and what's coming next. There is no queue to choose from, because there is only one workout: today's. It builds itself based on what your body needs, reads Apple Health to know if you've already trained hard, and slots in mobility or breathwork instead if you have.

You don't pick the workout. You don't tweak the weights. You don't review the queue. You press start.

When Fitbod is the better choice.

If you love the gym, want to track 1RM progress on the big lifts, and enjoy programming your own training, Fitbod is excellent. We are not trying to replace it for that user.

Baseline is for the other person. The one who used Fitbod for two weeks, didn't make it back to the gym, deleted the app, and felt vaguely guilty about it. If that's you, the gym was never the right tool. A 20-minute bodyweight session you'll actually do is.

A daily session
that doesn't need a gym.

Fitbod vs Baseline.

Is Baseline a good Fitbod alternative?

If you don't have gym access, don't want to log every set, or don't want to scroll an algorithmic workout queue, Baseline is a simpler Fitbod alternative. It is bodyweight only, requires no logging, and builds today's session automatically.

Does Baseline require gym equipment like Fitbod?

No. Every Baseline session is bodyweight only. It works in your living room, a hotel, or anywhere with floor space. Fitbod assumes you have gym equipment or a home setup.

How much does Baseline cost compared to Fitbod?

Baseline is $9.99/yr. Fitbod is approximately ~$80/yr. Both offer free trials.
