How We Tested
We used each app for 30 days. Tracked workouts, logged food, tested features. Evaluated on: ease of use, Canadian pricing, feature depth, offline support, and whether it actually helps you get results.
Here's the honest breakdown.
#1: FIXIT — Best All-in-One Health Tracker
Price: Free / $7 Basic / $15 Pro per month
Best for: People who want food + exercise + body comp tracking in ONE app
What sets it apart:
- AI pose detection scores your exercise form in real-time
- Food logger with 50+ common foods for quick-add
- Water tracking with visual progress ring
- Upload InBody/DEXA reports and track body composition over time
- Daily action plan: "eat 125g more protein" / "drink 2L more water"
- Pre-built workout plans (Hyrox, Full Body, Marathon, Calisthenics)
- Built by a Toronto team, PIPEDA compliant
Cons: Newer app, smaller food database than MyFitnessPal
Verdict: The best value for Canadians who want everything in one place. The AI form checker alone is worth the Pro price.
#2: MyFitnessPal — Best Food Database
Price: Free / $24.99 CAD/month Premium
Best for: Pure calorie and macro tracking
Pros: Massive food database (14M+ foods), barcode scanner, recipe import
Cons: Exercise tracking is basic, no form analysis, ads on free tier are aggressive, expensive premium tier
Verdict: Great food database, but you'll need a separate app for workouts. Pricey for what you get.
#3: Strava — Best for Runners & Cyclists
Price: Free / $11.99 CAD/month
Best for: Endurance athletes who want GPS tracking and social features
Pros: GPS route tracking, segment leaderboards, Toronto run club integration, training log
Cons: No food tracking, no strength training, no body composition. It's a cardio app.
Verdict: Essential for runners and cyclists. Pair with FIXIT for the complete picture.
#4: Strong — Best for Gym Logging
Price: Free (3 workouts) / $6.99 CAD/month
Best for: Serious lifters who want detailed set/rep tracking
Pros: Clean UI, rest timer, progressive overload tracking, exercise history
Cons: No food tracking, no body comp, no AI feedback. Just a workout log.
Verdict: Good gym companion, but limited scope.
#5-7: Apple Health, Fitbit, Samsung Health
The wearable trio — great for step counting, heart rate, and sleep tracking. But none of them do food logging well, none have AI form analysis, and none offer structured workout programs.
Best use: Connect to FIXIT (coming soon) for automatic step/heart rate import. Let the wearable track passive data, let FIXIT handle the active tracking.
Our recommendation: FIXIT + a basic wearable (Apple Watch or Fitbit) covers 95% of health tracking needs for under $20/month total.
