APEX

APEX is an AI lifting and diet coach for workout planning, nutrition logging, and progress analysis. It reviews logged gym performance and can suggest progression, warm-up weights, deloads, and routine improvements. Meals can be recorded by photo, text, narration, files, or recipes; the app estimates nutrition and suggests options that fit targets. Its library lists more than 300 exercises and 1,200 ingredients. APEX compares progress photos and other check-ins over time and provides body and muscle-development analysis. Routines can be tailored to available equipment, including home dumbbells or bodyweight, and the maker describes the app as suitable for beginners and seasoned athletes. The free plan includes workout and meal logging, custom routines, analytics, training history, and a muscle recovery map, with 10 smart meal logs and five smart workout plans. Premium adds automatic progression, routine improvements, unlimited assistant chats, smart meal logs and plans, and body analysis and check-ins. APEX is available on iOS and Android. There is no integration with Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, or other device health platforms, so health and fitness data is entered manually. The 30-day free month renews into a paid subscription unless canceled before it ends.

APEX brings workout coaching, meal tracking, and progress checks into one mobile app, with a free tier and paid Premium options. Account deletion permanently removes account and associated personal data, and the maker says personal data, including body photos, is not used to train AI models.

APEX suits beginners and experienced athletes who want coaching and nutrition planning on iOS or Android. It can adapt routines to available equipment, including home dumbbells or bodyweight.

APEX is an AI lifting and nutrition coach for people who want training guidance and meal tracking together. It suits beginners and experienced athletes who are comfortable entering their own workouts, meals, and check-ins. Its free tier supports substantial manual tracking; Premium is where the unlimited automated coaching and body analysis begin.

Overview

APEX uses logged gym performance to recommend progression, warm-up weights, deloads, and routine changes. That makes it more useful than a basic workout log for lifters who want their training history to shape what comes next. The value depends on keeping the record current: APEX does not connect with Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, or other device health platforms, so fitness and health data must be entered manually.

Nutrition tracking accepts meals by photo, text, narration, files, or recipes, estimates their nutrition, and suggests meals to match targets. Progress checks compare photos and other check-in results over time and analyze body and muscle development. The library of 300+ exercises and 1,200+ ingredients gives users a solid range of options for building routines and logging food.

Key features

Workout coaching and routines

Free includes unlimited custom routines, workout logging without caps, analytics, and full training history. Its five smart workout plans provide a way to try guided planning, but automatic progression and routine improvements require Premium. That division makes Free a capable record-keeping option; lifters seeking ongoing automated adjustments will need a subscription.

Meal tracking and progress checks

Free allows 10 smart meal logs. Premium removes that cap and adds unlimited assistant chats, smart meal logs, and workout and nutrition plans, alongside body analysis and check-ins. Photo comparisons and muscle-development analysis may appeal to users tracking physique changes, while those who do not want to submit check-in information may get less from that part of the service.

Privacy, data control, and support

The maker says personal data, including body photos, is not used to train or fine-tune AI models. Its privacy policy names Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and OpenAI as AI providers. It describes TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, encryption at rest, and application-layer AES-256-GCM encryption for body photo files. Users can export account data, and account deletion permanently removes the account and associated personal data. Support is available by email, with replies usually taking 1–2 business days.

Pricing

APEX has a free tier and two Premium plans. Free costs nothing, billed $0 forever. It includes unlimited workout and meal logging, unlimited custom routines, the exercise and ingredient libraries, analytics, full training history, a muscle recovery map, 10 smart meal logs, and 5 smart workout plans. It is a strong fit for people who mainly want to track training and meals, but the smart-plan allowances are limited and it omits automatic progression and body analysis.

Premium Monthly costs $9.99 a month, billed $9.99/ month. Premium Yearly costs $70 a year, billed $70/ year. Both include everything in Free, automatic progression and routine improvements, unlimited assistant chats and smart meal logs, unlimited workout and nutrition plans, and body analysis and check-ins. Monthly suits someone who wants the paid coaching without an annual commitment; yearly suits users prepared to pay for a year at once. The free month auto-renews into a paid subscription unless canceled before it ends. Subscriptions are managed through App Store settings.

Platforms

APEX is available on Android and iOS. It tailors routines to available equipment, including home dumbbells or bodyweight, so its approach can suit home training as well as gym lifting. Manual entry is the trade-off for users who expect their device health data to sync automatically.

Who it's for

APEX is a good match for beginners who want structured workout and nutrition guidance, and for seasoned athletes who want progression suggestions alongside food and physique tracking. It is less suited to people who want hands-off data collection or rely on health-platform integration. Users mainly seeking an uncapped workout log can stay on Free; those who want the app to adapt routines and provide ongoing meal guidance should consider Premium.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Combines workout, nutrition, and physique tracking, useful for people managing several parts of a fitness plan in one app.
• Free has uncapped workout and meal logging, unlimited custom routines, and full training history, making it practical for building a record before subscribing.
• Equipment-aware routines can accommodate home dumbbells or bodyweight as well as other setups.
• The maker says body photos and other personal data are not used to train AI models, and users can export or permanently delete their account data.

Cons

• Health and fitness data must be entered manually because APEX does not integrate with Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, or other device health platforms.
• Free limits smart meal logs to 10 and smart workout plans to 5; automatic progression, routine improvements, and body analysis are Premium features.
• The free month auto-renews into a paid subscription unless canceled before it ends, so trial users need to manage renewal in App Store settings.

Alternatives

AI Fitness Apps is a useful place to compare more coaching options. Choose Freeletics if web access matters: it runs on Android, iOS, and web, and its free tier includes workouts, exercises, runs, and audio sessions, with a limited content selection. Choose ARDOR if you want an iOS app with one free workout per week and full access for the first 7 days. Miles is an iOS option centered on run tracking, goal setting, and plan previews in its free tier. Saga Coach offers three workouts always free and a chat trial on iOS, while Styrki pairs unlimited manual workout logging and PB tracking with a limited number of AI workouts in its free tier. Yogini is an iOS and macOS alternative with yearly and monthly plans. AI-Training is a paid Android and iOS alternative with a free plan and free trial. FitnessAI is another paid Android and iOS option with a free plan.

Verdict

Choose APEX if you want workout coaching, meal tracking, and physique progress checks in one app and are willing to log your information manually. Its free tier is useful for consistent tracking, while Premium adds the adaptive guidance that distinguishes the service. Look elsewhere if automatic health-data syncing is essential, or if your main goal is workout guidance without managing food and check-ins.
