Fitbod vs Strong: AI Workouts vs Manual Logging
Two different philosophies for gym tracking. Or choose the app that combines both.
AI Generation vs Manual Control
Fitbod generates workouts with AI but costs $15/month and doesn't track nutrition. Strong gives you full control but no guidance. Most lifters want BOTH — smart suggestions with the freedom to customize.
