Looking for a free Fitbod alternative?

Why people switch
No paywall after a week
Fitbod stops you logging new workouts after the trial. MyRepsCount's generator, counter, and log stay free.
Reps counted, not typed
Prop up the phone and follow the workout. Each rep is counted and saved.
Made for small spaces
Built around what people train with at home: bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebells, and bands.
Where Fitbod is better
We make MyRepsCount, so here is the part most comparison pages leave out.
- Smarter lifting programming: Fitbod tracks muscle fatigue and progresses your loads over time.
- A huge library of 1,000+ exercises with videos.
- Runs on watches and the web, and syncs with Apple Health, Strava, and Fitbit.
- Ideal if you have a full gym to program around.
How MyRepsCount counts your reps
-
Prop your phone up. Floor, shelf, or against a water bottle, with your whole body in frame. -
Train hands-free. The camera tracks your movement on the phone and counts each full rep. No video is recorded or uploaded. - Or log it by hand. Anything the camera can't count goes in the manual log, with weights, rep ranges, and supersets.

Fitbod alternative FAQ
Is Fitbod free?
No. Fitbod has a 7-day trial; after that you can view past workouts but need a subscription, $15.99 a month or $95.99 a year, to log new ones.
Does Fitbod count reps?
No. Fitbod recommends sets, reps, and weights, and you log what you did.
How does the MyRepsCount workout generator work?
Pick your goal, equipment, and how much time you have, and it builds a workout from the exercises the camera can count. You can generate one every 12 hours, or build your own any time.
Is MyRepsCount good for the gym?
It works best where the camera can see you: bodyweight, dumbbells, and kettlebells. For machines and barbells you can still use the manual log.
