Frequently asked questions
Is LoadWise better than Fitbod?
It depends on what you need. LoadWise is built for people who want an AI to read their exact equipment and prescribe specific loads — especially if they train at home or at a gym with limited kit. Fitbod is better if you prefer choosing exercises session by session rather than following a structured multi-week block.

Yes — that is its core use case. Photograph your space and LoadWise builds a program around exactly what it can see, with loads calibrated to your profile.
