A checklist that lets you judge any app yourself, including ours.
Updated October 2026 · 5 min read
Many people search for the "best free bodybuilding app". The truth is that "best" depends on your goal, equipment and language. So here are criteria you can judge by yourself, and a disclosure: Sihha Fit is our app, so keep that in mind when you read our view.
Sihha Fit is an Islamic fitness app. It builds workouts around your goal and equipment, makes halal meal plans, scans your food from a photo, tracks your progress, and has a Ramadan mode for suhoor and iftar. It is free to start, in English and Arabic.
| Criterion | The question to ask |
|---|---|
| A beginner-friendly programme | Does it give you a simple full-body plan (2 to 4 days), or throw you into advanced routines? |
| Exercise explanations | Does each exercise have an image or video, technique cues and common mistakes? |
| Fits your equipment and time | Can you choose gym or home, and adjust the plan to your schedule? |
| Weight logging | Does it record sets, reps and weights so you can apply gradual overload? |
| Progress tracking | Can you see your progress in weight, measurements and photos? |
| Food support | Does it help with protein and calories? Does it respect halal eating? |
| Language | Does it work properly in Arabic, not poor machine translation? |
| Price and transparency | What works free and what needs a subscription? Is that clear before you pay? |
| Privacy | What data does it collect, and is the privacy policy clear? |
Sihha Fit is an Islamic fitness app. It builds workouts that fit your goal and equipment, designs halal meal plans, scans your food from a photo, tracks your progress, and has a Ramadan mode for suhoor and iftar. It is free to start and works in Arabic and English. Judge for yourself: try it for two to three weeks and compare it with the table above, and if it does not suit you, try another.
You do not need an app at all. A notebook and a simple plan such as the beginner gym workout plan is enough. An app only saves you the maths, the organising and the tracking.
Yes, many apps have a limited free version. Read what needs a subscription before you rely on one. Sihha Fit is free to start.
An app is enough for most healthy beginners, but a trainer corrects your technique directly. A gym trainer is useful in your first week.
Not necessarily. One app for training, and optionally another for food if you want.
