Straddly vs Fitbod: a free Fitbod alternative

The short answer

Pick Fitbod if you want every gym session generated for you from your recovery and equipment, on iPhone, Android or your watch, and you are fine paying for it. Pick Straddly if you prefer to follow your own routines for free on Android, with a coach you can ask to change the session on the spot.

Where Fitbod is better

You never have to plan. Open the app and a full gym session is ready, balanced around which muscles are recovered.
Weights and reps are suggested for every set from your history, which helps if you do not want to think about progression.
It runs on iPhone, Android, Apple Watch and Wear OS, and connects to Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit and Strava.
Its recommendations draw on more than 87 million logged workouts, according to Fitbod.

Where Straddly is better

It is free to log. Routines, records, goals and friends cost nothing, and Pro only adds more coaching.
You stay in charge of the plan. Follow your own program, a coach program or a reel you liked, and Auguste works around it.
You can talk to Auguste mid-workout: "my knee hurts", "the rack is taken", "I have 25 minutes". He edits the session in place.
Calisthenics is a first-class citizen: weighted pull-ups, dips, holds and skill work all get automatic records.
After each session you get one concrete thing to change next time, and he remembers your history between sessions.
Friends, trophies and streaks are built in.

Switching from Fitbod

The main change is mindset: Fitbod hands you a session, Straddly expects a routine. If you liked a Fitbod workout, rebuild it as a routine once, or ask Auguste to build one around your goal and equipment.

There is no one-tap Fitbod importer. You can start fresh and let Auguste learn from your first sessions. If you want some of your history in Straddly, you can paste your past workouts in the Auguste tab and he will help you log them. How well it works depends on what you paste, so check the sessions he creates.

Install Straddly from Google Play and set your goal and equipment in onboarding.
Create one or two routines, or share a workout reel you like.
During the session, ask Auguste to adjust anything that does not fit that day.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free alternative to Fitbod?

Straddly is free for logging, routines, records, goals and friends, with an optional Pro plan for more coaching. It does not generate a new gym session every day like Fitbod, but its coach Auguste adapts your own routine while you train.

How is Auguste different from Fitbod's AI?

Fitbod plans the workout before you start, based on recovery and equipment. Auguste works during and after the session: he edits your live workout on request, reviews your numbers and remembers your goals, injuries and equipment.

Which is better for calisthenics?

If calisthenics is your main focus, Straddly is built for it: it tracks bodyweight reps, weighted bodyweight and timed holds with automatic records for each, and you can ask Auguste to adapt a skill session. Fitbod supports bodyweight, assisted and timed exercises and estimates your max reps on bodyweight moves.

Can I use Straddly on iPhone?
