Walk in already knowing what to do, how heavy, and how many. The thinking is done. Showing up is all that's left. Roby is an AI coach that writes your whole week from scratch, not from a template. It's built for people who know the gym but never had a plan that stuck. Tell it your goals, your gym, and your equipment once. Give it a minute and your week is ready. Each week it reads what you did and plans the next one. Your first workout is on us. No credit card. THE HARD PART ISN'T MOTIVATION It's habit, and habits die on the days you show up without a plan. Roby has yours ready before you leave the house. Traveling, a different gym, short on time? Tell Roby and the week bends around you instead of falling apart. NOT A TEMPLATE. YOUR PLAN. Roby writes your plan from scratch. It uses a frontier AI model, so your plan comes from real reasoning about you, not a template or a formula. It reads your goals, your experience, your equipment, how long you can train, and every set you've logged: the weight, the reps, and how hard it felt. Even a note like "shoulder felt sore" changes the plan. Built for you, not for everyone. A SYSTEM, NOT JUST A PLANNER Most apps plan, or track, or chart. Roby closes the loop, so every workout feeds the next. BEFORE YOU TRAIN See which muscles are recovered and which still need rest, so you know why today looks the way it does. On training days, a reminder and a gym bag checklist. You walk in decided. WHILE YOU LIFT Follow the workout, log a set, and the rest timer starts. Log every set from your Lock Screen without unlocking, with live progress in your Dynamic Island. Voice coaching and a soft rest sound play over your music, even with the phone locked. Your own rest times, warm-up, weight increments, and kg or lb, per exercise. AFTER THE LAST SET A short review: what you trained, records you set, what to focus on next. Strength levels for every main lift, showing where you stand for your body weight and the next target to beat, and a then-and-now muscle map that shows how far you've come. Every week Roby writes you a personal note on your progress toward your goal and how to plan next week. Every line is built from your own numbers. FOR YOUR FIRST WEEK OR YOUR TENTH YEAR Been lifting for years? Bring the split you already run, sort your routines into folders, and rotate them through the week. Roby handles the logging, rest timing, and progression. New to the gym? Tell Roby where you're starting and walk in with every set laid out. Mix both: AI-built and self-built workouts share one history, one muscle map, one weekly note. Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, Full Body, or your own split, 1 to 6 days a week. Happy with last week? Repeat it and Roby updates the weights and reps. Want ideas? Swap any day for a fresh one and Roby fits it to you, setting the weights from your numbers and progressing it week to week. YOUR GYM. YOUR EQUIPMENT. Commercial gym, home rack, hotel, garage. Tell Roby what you train with and your plan only includes movements you can actually do. Missing a machine or a favorite lift? Add your own and Roby plans, tracks, and progresses it like any other. BUILT BETWEEN SETS Roby wasn't designed at a desk. The team behind it trains with it every session and fixes whatever gets in the way before the next one. It's built for your hundredth session, not just your first. A human coach checks in once a week. Roby reads every set you log, reviews your week, and costs less for a month than a single session with a coach. Your first workout is on us.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Roby AI at 6 against Method's 1. Roby AI also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Roby AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Method sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Roby AI against 5.0 for Method. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roby AI has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Roby AI ships an update weekly, Method every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
