Comparison
LoadWise vs Freeletics
Freeletics is the category leader in bodyweight and HIIT-style AI training. LoadWise is built for a different goal: equipment-based strength programs with exact load prescriptions. If you have weights — or want to build strength alongside bodyweight work — this comparison is for you.

| Equipment use | Adapts to any equipment — photo scan or tick-box. Exact loads prescribed. | Focused on bodyweight; limited equipment integration |
| Load prescription | Exact starting weight calibrated to your profile (e.g. 45–50 lb for bench press) | Bodyweight — no weight prescription |
| Health screening | 7-question pre-exercise screen before your first plan | No pre-exercise health screen |
| Personalisation | Profile-calibrated loads, equipment-specific exercises, block-based progression | AI Coach adjusts training style based on feedback |
| Multi-language support | English, Portuguese (pt-BR), Spanish | Multiple languages |
| Paid price | $7.50/month (Coach) | ~$13/month |
Who is this for?
Choose LoadWise if your goal is equipment-based strength training — you have weights, a rack, machines, or a mix — and you want an AI that prescribes specific loads rather than bodyweight progressions.
Choose Freeletics if you want bodyweight HIIT workouts with no equipment, you prefer an app with a very large existing community, or you value Freeletics' coaching style.
Frequently asked questions
Is LoadWise better than Freeletics?
They are different products. Freeletics is built for people who want bodyweight and HIIT-style training with minimal equipment. LoadWise is for people who want equipment-based strength training with exact load prescriptions — especially if they train at home or at a gym where the available kit varies.
Can I use LoadWise if I only have dumbbells?
Yes — that is a core use case. Photograph your dumbbells or tick them from the list and LoadWise builds a complete strength block using exactly that kit, with loads calibrated to your profile.
Does LoadWise have bodyweight programs?
Yes. If you select no equipment, LoadWise generates a bodyweight-only strength program. You can also mix bodyweight movements with whatever equipment you have.
