About FitAI Guide

Michael Alessi spotting an athlete on the bench press

FitAI Guide is run by Michael Alessi, a strength and conditioning coach with more than 15 years of experience training professional and amateur athletes. He holds the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential and is certified in MAT Jumpstart. Since 2014 he has owned Power Sports Performance & Fitness in Davie, Florida, where he coaches NFL and MLB athletes, high school football programs, and private fitness clients.

Before that, Michael was Vice President and Director of MLB Off-Season Development at Bommarito Performance Systems. He led the strength programs for all MLB and MiLB off-season athletes, co-led the NFL off-season programs, coached youth and team groups, and ran the facility's intern program.

He started FitAI Guide because coaches and gym owners are flooded with AI tools and have no time to test them. Every pick on this site is judged the way a coach would judge it: does it save time, help clients, or grow the business?

How picks are made

Each category names one pick, a runner-up and who it is not for.
Prices and free tiers are copied from vendor pages or named third-party sources and dated. If we can't verify something, we leave it blank.
The New this week feed is assembled weekly from industry news and vendor changelogs, and every item links its source.
Paid placements are always labeled "Featured" and never change a pick.
