Fitness Apps Ranked: Who Helps You Train And Who Just Muggs You at Checkout | GOWOD, Fitbod, Athlytic

My voice is cooked today (laryngitis), but the takes are clean.

Fitness apps are exploding — and most of them are either solid, broken, or paywalled before you can even test the “secret sauce.” In this episode I rank the apps I tried and tell you what matters for real:

ACCOUNTABILITY (THE NAG), INJURY/RECOVERY, FOOD TRACKING, EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION, AND WHETHER THE APP ACTUALLY SHOWS YOU WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WHY.

You’ll hear why NO-FREE-TRIAL PAYWALLS are an instant F-minus, why calorie targets inside food apps can be wildly misleading, and why GOWOD is the gold standard for how a fitness app should actually feel.
