AI Mental Coach for Fitness: Free Emotional Tracking (2026)

AI Mental Coach for Fitness: Free Emotional Tracking (2026)

Why would a fitness app need a mental coach?

Because your mental state directly impacts your performance. Bad sleep? Work stress? No motivation? Smart Rabbit now includes mental tracking with AI analysis: you log your state daily, and the AI gives you personalized advice based on your actual data — not generic motivational quotes.

Fitness apps focus on sets, weights, calories. But nobody asks "how do you feel today?" even though that's often what makes the difference between a great workout and a terrible one. We changed that.

📋 How it works

3-step process

  • 1. Daily check-in — Rate your motivation (1-10), stress (1-10), sleep quality, energy level, and add a free comment. Takes 30 seconds.
  • 2. Stats and trends — After a few days, you see your curves: how does your motivation change? Does stress spike on Mondays? Do you sleep better when you train?
  • 3. Personalized AI coach — The AI analyzes your check-ins, trends, and training profile to give you concrete advice. Not motivational fluff: recommendations based on YOUR data.

🧠 What the AI analyzes

Data analyzed by the coach

  • Check-in history — Motivation, stress, energy, sleep over the past weeks
  • Averages and trends — Mean motivation score, stress evolution
  • Your profile — Level, goal (mass, strength, definition...), training frequency
  • Coaching style — Choose: scientific, supportive, drill sergeant, zen...

💬 Sample AI response

Example with 10 check-ins

  • "Your motivation drops every Thursday — it's consistent across your last 10 check-ins. Maybe schedule your most fun workout on that day."
  • "Your average stress is 7/10. That's high. Before adding training volume, look at sleep: you regularly log 5-6 hours."
  • "You check 'tired' 4 out of 5 days. With a mass-building goal, that's a strong signal: you're likely in a caloric deficit or overtrained."

🆓 Free or paid?

Pricing — let's be transparent

  • Check-ins and stats — 100% free, unlimited, stored locally on your device
  • AI analysis — 1 free analysis included. Then 5 analyses for €4.90. Running AI costs money, we won't pretend otherwise.
  • Free alternative — The "Copy & Open AI" button is always available: it copies your full prompt and opens ChatGPT or Claude. Paste it, get the same analysis. Free.

⚠️ What it doesn't do

Honest limitations

  • Not a therapist — If you're going through a tough time (depression, severe anxiety), see a professional. The AI gives fitness advice, not diagnoses.
  • More check-ins = better results — With 2 check-ins, the AI doesn't have much to work with. At 7, it gets interesting. At 30, it's precise.
  • It's a tool, not a crutch — The goal is to help you understand your patterns, not replace your own judgment.

💡 What users discover

Common insights

  • Their motivation follows a predictable weekly cycle
  • Sleep impacts their performance 3x more than nutrition
  • Work stress kills their evening workouts — and they'd be better off training in the morning
  • Logging mental state for 30 seconds daily changes their relationship with training

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AI mental coach free?

Check-ins and stats are 100% free and unlimited. AI analysis includes 1 free analysis to try. After that, 5 analyses cost €4.90. The "Copy & Open AI" button is always available to get the same analysis for free via ChatGPT or Claude.

How many check-ins do I need for a useful analysis?

From 7 check-ins, the AI starts spotting trends. At 30, the analysis becomes precise with weekly cycles identified. With 2-3 check-ins, the AI doesn't have enough data to say anything useful.

Does the mental coach replace a therapist?

No. The mental coach gives fitness-related advice based on your data (sleep, stress, motivation). For mental health issues (depression, severe anxiety), see a healthcare professional.

Where is my check-in data stored?

All check-in data is stored locally on your device (localStorage). Nothing is sent to a server. When you request an AI analysis, an anonymized summary is sent — never your raw data.
