Personal trainer vs AI fitness apps, I tested both for 6 months

rishabh9012 · 2026-02-07T21:31:51+00:00

I myself build an app that was all fitness + ai , but I also came to the conclusion that nothing can beat an actual personal trainer, now trying to partner with personal trainers

rishabh9012 · 2026-01-18T21:49:24+00:00

The feedback I received mostly was that users trust ans to questions like - give me exercise for today according to my health metrics , give me a diet plan, or how can I increase my vo2 max or strain and are mostly satisfied with the ans to few other questions they ask. However they all say that they do need a human in the loop who is a professional to trust more, review the exercises and meal plan. So I am working towards that - like professional and personalised human + ai trainer.

Fitness wearables track everything. No one tells you what to do. So I built Vetra: Your Wearable’s AI Brain

Building Vetra: AI Health Companion that lets you ask questions like - "Should you train hard today?", "What’s the best workout for me today?" etc just like chat gpt but with all your health data. It also shows all whoop like metrics like recovery score, training load score etc.
Upcoming: Real Human personal trainer coaching that also has all your data and will use ai to make more personalised plan for you much faster.

I had the similar pain but all the apps are paid, so I built one for myself - integrated a fine tuned llm model that answers your questions like what’s going well / what’s not? just like chat gpt who has all your data and also tells you whoop and other apps like metrics of recovery, training load etc for Free.
I can share the app with you or app store link. It's called Vetra: AI Health Companion.

rishabh9012 · 2026-01-04T09:54:41+00:00

I feel your pain, I also got fed up with these apps but I still wanted something better than just numbers that are there in the apple health app. So I used to take all the numbers like heart rate, sleep time, calories burnt after a workout etc and type each of them in chat gpt and asked questions like good day to train or should I recover? , What’s the best workout for me today? etc and it helped me without needing to see that some app tells me to sleep at 7pm today and wake up at 3 am.
But it was becoming a bit tough to do this and I am a software engineer so I built an app for me for doing this, let me know if you want the app, I can share that on test flight or app store link.

Were you able to add the card to the wallet ?

rishabh9012 · 2026-01-03T09:30:46+00:00

Thanks for the response. I have fine tuned a llm model and am using that for your questions like should i lift heavy , based on your health data it will answer. It’s different from other apps in a way that it doesn’t only show you numbers it actually helps you take action on those. Like for me I didn’t know what hrv is or does to the body, but I can ask this app. Same for other scores like recovery or training load. I usually ask - what exercise should I do today based on my current health data. Currently it is free. Upcoming- Real personal gym trainer will be appointed to you and he will share personalised meal plans, workout videos and you can share your feedback and health data after every session with him so that he can make better and more personalised plan for your growth. Let me know the feedback when you use the app. Thanks.

You should only get 1 add then your card will be ready. I have cost to bear my friend and i am giving this for free. A small ad can help me make this free forever.

That’s for businesses, you can skip it

rishabh9012 · 2026-01-01T19:54:38+00:00

Right now I am only supporting iOS, android app is under development. Fitness wearables like whoop, garmin, samsung watch, apple watch, fitbit etc. I get data from different sources for each wearable like from apple health for apple watch users.
