Frequently Asked Questions
Is JEFIT still good in 2025?
JEFIT has been around for over a decade with 8+ million downloads. It's a solid workout logger with 1400+ exercises. However, it lacks AI features that modern apps offer. For simple logging, JEFIT works. For intelligent coaching, Arvo is the better choice.

Does JEFIT have AI?

Which app has more exercises?
