Comparison · Updated July 2026
FitForge vs FitOn: which should you use in 2026?
FitOn is a free video workout app led by celebrity trainers (Sadie Lincoln, Julianne Hough, etc.). FitForge is a structured weekly program with the workout AND a meal plan matched to the training. Different bets.
Quick verdict
Pick FitOn if you want free, varied video workouts led by celebrity trainers and you don't mind picking a different video every day. Pick FitForge if you want a curated weekly program that follows a fixed cycle, plus a meal plan aligned to the training day.

When FitOn wins
FitOn wins on variety and production quality. The celebrity-led video workouts are genuinely good — Sadie Lincoln's barre and Pilates classes are best-in-class. The categories stretch far beyond strength: yoga, dance cardio, kickboxing, meditation, postnatal, pre/post-natal, mobility. If you get bored doing the same movements, FitOn's library will keep you engaged.
It's also 100% free for the workouts themselves — the upsells are for premium meal plans, calorie tracking, and live classes. If you just want a video to follow and don't care about the program structure, FitOn is hard to beat.
When FitForge wins
FitForge wins on structure and the workout + meal integration. The 7-day cycle is intentional: today is leg day (high carbs), tomorrow is conditioning (moderate carbs), the next day is rest (low carbs). You don't pick — the program picks for you, and the meals match.
If your goal is body composition — losing fat, gaining muscle — and you want nutrition that's actually calibrated to your training, FitForge's meal plan is the part FitOn doesn't address (without paying for their premium meal plan add-on).
