Looking for an Aitofit alternative? Good reason to consider one: although Aitofit is Finland's #1-rated gym app, it doesn't fit everyone. Most switchers want more flexibility (set editing, choosing the split), need offline support, or simply look for a cheaper option. SisuLift is an Aitofit alternative designed exactly for those needs — and most importantly: you can bring your Aitofit training history with you and not lose months or years of data. Here's the practical migration guide.
TL;DR: Aitofit alternatives in Finland
There are two Finnish AI-driven Aitofit alternatives: SisuLift and Tsemppi. Each serves a different need.
- SisuLift — €9.90/mo, 24/7 AI chat, offline support, CSV import from Aitofit. Closest replacement for Aitofit if you want more flexibility.
- Tsemppi — freemium model (premium €9.99/mo), AI-driven, Finnish, strong community features. Lighter option if you want a free tier and friend tracking.
This guide focuses on SisuLift because it's the closest Aitofit alternative: AI-driven, gym-focused, offline support, and the only one that supports data import from Aitofit.
Five reasons users switch from Aitofit
We reviewed Aitofit's public reviews and the recurring complaints. These five reasons stood out.
1. Set and rep editing is limited
Aitofit's algorithm optimises sets automatically. If you did one extra set or one fewer rep than planned, you can't edit it directly in the app — you have to message support. In daily use this is a major friction source, and it recurs in reviews: "can't add sets if you did 3 instead of 2". In SisuLift editing happens with a single tap.
2. You can't choose the training split yourself
The algorithm decides whether it's push/pull/legs, upper/lower, or full body — the user can't change the split. If you're used to a specific split (e.g. push/pull/legs 6 days a week) and Aitofit suggests something completely different, the app can feel restrictive. SisuLift lets you choose the split during onboarding and change it later.
3. No rest timer
Aitofit doesn't have a between-set rest timer. Users have to track rest time on a separate device or phone clock. SisuLift's rest timer starts automatically after a set and reminds you when it's time to start the next — this is the standard for modern gym apps.
4. No offline support
Many gyms (especially in basements or older buildings) are 4G/5G dead zones. Aitofit requires a network connection — if connectivity drops mid-workout, the app freezes. SisuLift is built offline-first: every workout saves locally and syncs automatically when the network returns.
5. Price — €5/mo cheaper alternative
Aitofit is €14.90/mo as a launch offer (standard €19.90/mo). SisuLift is €9.90/mo — you save about €5/mo = €60/year during the launch offer, and up to €120/year on standard pricing. Not a huge sum monthly, but meaningful annually — especially when you also get AI chat, offline support, and CSV import as additional features.
What to require from an Aitofit alternative
Before you switch, think about what you actually need. If the alternative is missing any of these, switching is a mistake. Five minimum requirements.
- You can bring your training history with you — you don't lose months or years of data.
- Finnish UI and customer service — English isn't enough if you want Finnish-language service.
- AI-driven programming — a basic logbook doesn't replace Aitofit's core.
- A sufficient exercise library with technique videos — no point switching to a more limited library.
- Flexibility — set editing, choosing the training split, what was missing in Aitofit.
SisuLift meets all five. Tsemppi meets 3/5 (Finnish + AI + freemium tier, but doesn't support data import or have the same exercise library depth). International apps (Hevy, Strong, Fitbod) meet 1/5 (some AI, no Finnish). This is why we focus on SisuLift here — it's the only complete Aitofit replacement.
SisuLift as an Aitofit alternative — what you get
SisuLift is designed assuming users already have a training routine and history — we don't assume you start from zero. That's why CSV import is a core feature, not an add-on. Here's what you get for €9.90/mo.
Workout view — familiar, but more flexible
For an Aitofit user, SisuLift's workout view is immediately familiar: exercise, sets, weights, and reps in a clear layout. The difference is that you can edit the number of sets and reps yourself, swap an exercise for another with one tap, and adjust weights mid-set. You don't need chat help or algorithm permission.
Exercise detail — technique cues and video
Each exercise has technique cues, a video, and alternative exercises if the suggested one doesn't fit. The exercise library has over 4,000 movements, significantly broader than most competitors.
AI chat 24/7 — ask, adjust, learn
Aitofit's customer service is good, but it's human chat during business hours. SisuLift has AI chat that responds 24/7 — ask about technique, adjust the program, request an alternative exercise. The AI knows your full training history and answers in context, not generically.
Progress tracking and weekly analysis
Strength progression graphs, weekly muscle group volume distribution, and the AI's analysis of where to focus next week. This is deeper than Aitofit's progress index — you get both numbers and a recommendation.
Achievements — small wins along the way
Achievements unlock when you hit a personal record, train X times in a row, or reach a goal. A small element, but motivates long-term training — especially as progress slows for experienced lifters.
Recovery analysis
The AI tracks your load and recovery. If last week was high volume or you haven't slept well, the AI lightens the next workout automatically. This is similar to Aitofit, but in SisuLift you also see the visible metrics behind what the AI infers.
How to transfer your training data from Aitofit — 3 steps
This is the most important section. You don't lose your training history when you switch.
Step 1: Request your CSV from Aitofit
Send a short message to Aitofit support (valmennus@aitofit.io): "Hi, could I get my training history as a CSV? My account email is [your address]. Thanks!" GDPR gives you the right to your data. The reply usually arrives within a few days.
Step 2: Start SisuLift's free trial
Download SisuLift from the App Store or Google Play, or use the web version. The trial is 14 days without a credit card (Aitofit is 9 days). Start without data — you can continue with import later.
Step 3: Upload the CSV to SisuLift
Once you receive the CSV from Aitofit, go to Settings → Import training data → choose Aitofit → upload the file. SisuLift parses exercises automatically, recognises Finnish and English names, and imports sets, weights, reps, and dates. If something doesn't match, you can map it manually — or we'll handle it for you in support chat.
The whole process takes 5 minutes + Aitofit's response time. After that you can train in SisuLift seamlessly — the AI sees your previous weight progression and suggests the next sets at the right load.
Pricing comparison in brief
Aitofit €14.90/mo launch offer, standard €19.90/mo. iOS App Store monthly €14.99/mo. SisuLift €9.90/mo web and €9.99/mo iOS. Annual subscription on SisuLift €79.90 (saves 33%). Trial: SisuLift 14 days, Aitofit 9 days — neither requires a credit card. Permanent free tier: SisuLift has one, Aitofit doesn't.
Decision: switch or stay?
You've made it this far — let's give a direct answer.
Stay with Aitofit if:
- You're satisfied with the current state and don't need a change
- You pay with Finnish sport benefits (Epassi/Edenred/Smartum) — Aitofit supports them, SisuLift doesn't yet
- You don't need offline support, set editing, or a rest timer
Switch to SisuLift if:
- You're tired of set-editing limitations or the missing rest timer
- You train at gyms with poor connectivity — you need offline support
- You want 24/7 AI chat for training questions
- Saving €5/mo is a nice bonus, not the main reason
Most important action: try them side by side. Aitofit has a 9-day free trial, SisuLift 14. You lose nothing testing both at the same time — and you get your own answer to the question "is switching right for me?".
