Jefit vs Fitbod

Jefit, Fitbod and RIRLift, row by row

Fitbod for a new workout every day, Jefit for a deep free log of your own plan. RIRLift is the free one that keeps your plan and still picks the weights.

What decides between Jefit and Fitbod

• A plan, or a workout each day?

  Fitbod picks the exercises, sets, reps and weights each time you open it, rotating muscles by recovery. Jefit runs a plan you built, a built-in program, or with Elite a 12-week Adaptive Plan. If you want to repeat the same lower day and watch the numbers climb, that's a plan.

• A trial or a free tier

  Fitbod is 7 days free, then $95.99/year. Jefit logs free forever, with 2 plans, 7 custom exercises and 3 Watch sessions, and Elite at $69.99/year.

• Who picks the weight

  Fitbod sets every weight in the workouts it builds. Jefit's Load Progression sets them on your plan, with Elite. RIRLift sets them on your plan for free, after every set.

• Variety: Fitbod

  Fitbod varies and balances exercises across sessions and adapts to your edits. If a fixed routine bores you, that's its real edge.

• Where RIRLift is different

  Ask Coach for a plan in plain words, preview it, and apply it. From then on every weight comes from your logged sets. Free on iPhone and Apple Watch; no Android.

  

Jefit, Fitbod or RIRLift, in a real situation

Fitbod trial ending, wants one fixed lower day

Leah trains three days a week in a full gym on an iPhone. She liked Fitbod picking her weights, but her lower days kept changing and she wants the same RDL and leg curl each week to see them go up. Her trial ends tomorrow.

App	What it does here	For this lifter
Fitbod	Keeps picking the weights, with $95.99/year. Workouts keep varying by recovery.	Fits if she accepts the variety and the price.
Jefit	Runs her fixed lower day free. The weights are hers to pick unless she pays for Elite.	Half a fit: the plan, not the weights.
RIRLift	Runs her fixed lower day and sets every weight from her last set, free.	Fits: the plan and the weights, on her iPhone.

She wanted Fitbod's weight-picking on her own plan. That's the one combination neither Fitbod nor Jefit's free tier gives her.

Leah's lower day, two weeks in

The same lower day in RIRLift. The RDL is planned at 10 reps with 2 left; the leg curl runs 8–12.

Exercise	You logged	Next session	Why
Romanian Deadlift	Set 1: 205 lb × 10, 3 left	Set 2: 210 lb × 10	One more left than planned: 205 × 42 ÷ 41 = 210 lb.
Lying Leg Curl	100 lb, 10 / 10 / 9 reps, 2 left (target 9)	100 lb × 10	The weakest set hit today's target. Same stack, one more rep next time.

The same two lifts every week, and each one moved on its own evidence.

• Ask Coach for a plan in plain words

  "Three days, full gym, legs twice." It comes back as a preview to apply or adjust.

  With Ask first, next session's weights wait on the recap until you confirm them.
