Compare · BodBot alternative
A BodBot alternative with a real trainer's method inside.
An AI coach is only as good as the coaching behind it. VeraForma's was built by NASM Master Trainer Brad Glaser.
Why people switch
What you get on VeraForma.
If you want an AI personal trainer, you want one that coaches the way a good trainer does: it watches the rep, names the fault in plain words, and shows you the moment it happened.
Catch the rep you could not feel.
After each set you get the fault, the fix, the worst reading, and a photo of the rep where it happened.
Just start moving.
No other app we could find lets you just start moving, names the exercise from your phone's camera mid-set, and, once you tap to confirm, checks your form on it.
A screen you film, not a form you fill in.
One squat on camera, front and side, and the faults a trainer would name, with the tight and weak muscles behind each one.
VeraForma beside BodBot, row by row.
Every BodBot cell has a numbered source below. Not found = not in the store listings or vendor pages we read. Partly = it does some of it, as the note says.

Questions
Before you switch.
Is the AI coach free?
The camera coach is free: your reps counted out loud and the common standing faults on screen. The AI coach that answers about your own plan is Premium, up to 25 questions a day.
Will it work around my bad knee?
Tell it about the old knee or the bad shoulder once, and the programme trains around it. VeraForma is coaching, not medicine.
What does Premium add?
The later phases of your programme, every phase rebuilt from your latest screen, your reps checked more closely and the fix spoken while you move. $29.99 a month, or $249.99 a year.
