Gymbuddy AI

GymBuddy AI is an AI fitness planning and workout tracking tool by Irish independent developer Evan Burbidge, taglined Stop guessing. Start training., aimed at fitness beginners who do not know what to train and intermediate lifters seeking personalization. The business is still iterating normally (product updates as recently as June 2025), but mobile word of mouth is its clear weak spot.

Core capabilities

• AI personalized training: generates plans by muscle-gain/fat-loss/running goal, training level, and available equipment; ZDNet's hands-on produced a plan in about 24 seconds
• Scene-adaptive: covers bodyweight at home, dumbbell and resistance-band setups, and full gym machines
• Progress tracking and advanced analytics: logs training history and body weight, spotting progress or plateaus
• Workout scheduling: calendar scheduling with reminders, rebuilt into a conversational interface from 2025
• Trainers B2B: a SaaS for personal trainers to generate client plans and track progress — Pro at €39.99/month manages 30 clients

Pricing A €0 free tier + €3.99/month or €39.99/year — nearly the lowest-priced full-feature AI fitness tool on the market; the Lifetime €89.99 has disappeared from the official site, and third-party prices like €7.99/month are misinformation.

Who it is for Fitness beginners, budget-sensitive users, EU users, and personal trainers. Not recommended for elite powerlifters (no periodized intensity management) or heavy wearable users.

Editorial verdict Clear positioning, honest pricing, and a founder who personally replies to negative reviews; but iOS sits at 1.0/5 and Google Play at 1.4/5, with complaints concentrated on the app doesn't work — try the free web version before paying. Recommendation 3/5.
