Ray: AI Personal Trainer

Today I was starting the third week of my workout plan and I noticed my progress reset back to week one with the beginner exercises. I’m frustrated because there’s no way I can manually change this or forward my progress to week three in the app or by speaking to the AI. I noticed in my workout history it does still have all of my previous exercises from the past two weeks logged, but it refuses to reset and start at week three. Other than that experience, I’ve had a great time so far with this app. I love the features in the video guides and the AI integration. It’s been a smooth process other than this one glitch so far.

I came from Fitbod and Fitify, both really solid apps, and I was hoping Ray would be the perfect mix of the two with smarter AI that could work around my shoulder and other small injuries. There are definitely things I like — the workouts feel fresh and the AI chat is super convenient. However, I’ve run into some frustrating issues. When I ask the AI to use heavier weights or skip an exercise because I just did the same one yesterday, it says it’s making the change but the workout stays exactly the same. Also, the app claims to support kettlebells, rowing, and assault bike, but I’ve yet to see those options actually appear in my plans even though I selected them. The foundation is good, so I hope the team fixes the bugs and equipment integration soon.

I’ve been using the app for several months now, and have been impressed with how I can customize training and regimen aligned for my goals. There are many different workout options to focus on strength training, muscle build, cardio, etc that you can easily adjust. It is fantastic whether you are a beginner or expert trainer. The app also learns what you’re doing well and pushes you to the next levels, which is great. Tools such as daily reminders, integration with Apple Health, video tutorials, and weekly planning are excellent. Definitely download and use it to get in shape!!
