Fitbod Workout & Gym Planner for Negative User Reviews

✓ Apple WatchThere are sync issues between my iPhone and my Apple Watch when working out..LRonk@Version: 6.17.1

✓ GlitchesI was wowed with this app. Unfortunately, lately I will log my workout on my Apple Watch 3 and it won’t record it though I press the log button or it will mess with my sets and reps and I have to go into my phone and log manually. If I try to use my watch regardless , I will flip my wrist to press log on the app and it will glitch after I press it and go back to my main watch face. It then says it needs to refresh with my phone. So I get my phone out to sYnc and my sets and reps that I know I logged for previous workout moves are gone and the sets AND reps are messed up! So I have been just logging through my phone and my app on my watch messes with it yet again! My watch will keep reminding me how many exercises I have left when I never logged into it with my watch . I have to go in and fix all my exercises that got reset or deleted again! I have now deleted it from my watch (one reason I got the app was I could workout without whipping my phone out) in hopes to get this sets, reps, deleting issue solved . This app WAS awesome! But the glitches has made me kind of want my money back! Don’t ask about updates, I have updated my watch, phone, apps, shut down and turned back on. Still an issue. This seems to be the only app on my watch with an issue as well. All my other apps work just fine ..DaniGaylordVersion: 3.14.2

✓ Unoptomised rubbishIf you just want this to give you exercises to do during your workout it’s fine. But if you try and use it to track your workout this turns into one of the worst apps I have ever used period. A one hour workout will drain the battery from full, logging that you’ve completed a set can take as long as it took to do the set in the first place (if not longer) provided the app doesn’t crash and every input is delayed by 2-3 seconds so you’re constantly unsure if the app is trying to update or if just didn’t register the input. I’m very happy with the workout builder and overall tracker, but for the money to buy the app it’s very disappointing how bad the app is during workouts when you actually need it most..Skeletor100Version: 3.11

✓ It’s good at first sight!At first I really loved the customization of this app, but it’s actually VERY confusing! I was hoping to get an app that I could have a tailored plan that I could customize- but when it comes to using it it’s not very user friendly. My workouts always take an extra 10-15 due to having to read it..Mmm49275Version: 4.12.0

✓ Please add boxing in cardioGreat app with a good amount of selection. Wish there was an option to add a heavy bag in equipment and an option to box as cardio. Would also love if you could select more specific dumbbell weights and weighty plates.BandîVersion: 6.13.2

✓ Mixed reviewsI have mixed reviews about this app im a premium subscriber. While I do like this app there are certain things I would like added or changed. First I do like that it’s gives you a detailed video on how to do each work out I think for beginners that are just starting to workout and don’t want to look stupid in the gym doing workouts wrong it’s very helpful to see the right form and detailed explanation of breathing and tightening techniques. I like the tracking of workouts and how they change your workouts throughout the week and show which muscles are fresh to be worked out and which ones you have just worked out through the week to give a rest. I also like how if you really don’t want to do a work out you can replace it with a workout you feel better about. How ever it is to hard to do this and if you don’t know the name of the machine in your gym or workout you want to do it’s to difficult selecting a work out scrolling down to the video to see what it is then if it’s not the right one having to go all the way back select another workout ( that might not be the right one again) then repeating the process if it’s not. There should be a video next to each workout to show a snapshot of that workout so you don’t have to take the time selecting and reselecting workouts. I also feel like for 10 dollars a month it just doesn’t do enough for me when it comes to tracking workouts and progress. Needs more features for what your playing.Dab202020Version: 3.8.4

✓ Good, not greatI gave the app a try on the free side and I gotta give it a mixed review. Part of me wants to use it and a part of me finds it pointless. It’s a decent app for tracking workouts, but the workouts provided aren’t all that. There’s a weird superset fetish with the app that makes it really annoying to even make your own routine. My favorite part has to be the soreness tracking, but it’s a bit redundant if you have a solid workout plan already. I think if you’re getting into fitness, it might be good enough to get you comfortable at the gym and with working out. However, if you’re an intermediate or advanced lifter, this app is pretty much replaceable with the notes app and a stopwatch. Also worth mentioning the rest timer is beyond annoying with its increments of time. Exercises like calf raises don’t require a lot rest time and the options there are odd numbers (going up from 15 seconds by increments of 10 so you can’t even select 30 seconds). I have to give it a 5.5/10 considering it’s a decent way to track soreness and get into fitness, but is also a bit redundant and easily replaceable. It’s also under $7 a month so it’s not egregiously priced if you follow the workout plans provided. However, if you’re sticking to a consistent routine for 3 months (which is what I do) then it’s a bit useless. You can buy better workout plans for cheaper and replace all the other functions easily. However, there is merit to it, just not for me..Samballin24/7Version: 6.20.0

✓ Paid for pro version but am still locked out. No reply from support after 7 days.I upgraded to the elite/pro version on an annual plan but the app won’t register the upgrade (I’m still stuck on the free version so can’t record a workout). Makes it useless. It took me 7 days to get a reply from customer support who just said they couldn’t find my account. I’ve given them all my details including payment receipt. Disappointing as I really enjoyed the trial of the app. Will look elsewhere if it doesn’t get sorted shortly..Mountain coderVersion: 5.3.1

✓ Started great but has grown more buggieI have been a user and of Fitbod for i believe three years now. During my first year of use it was great. Workouts had a nice layout and the all routines made sense. After some updates and a increase to have a membership I have found my experience using the app becoming a chore. Where before it was thoughtless now is a pain. Exercises/ equipment I once excluded for a gym profile appear in my workout. Workouts that are the exact same, but for some reason are named differently are given in the same workout. They workouts available to log are still somewhat limiting. And with this limitation there is still no way for you to create a exercise log to track your progress. As a side don’t even bother trying to log your workout through your Apple Watch. Multiple times I have to sync up my watch and or phone to be in line with one another. If say I complete a set and input that into my watch my phone will then not have the set logged and vice versa. I hope things improve with the updates that are promised to come but with this track record I wouldn’t be surprised if things continue to get taxing for the user to operate..Gory520Version: 5.15.0

✓ App keeps crashing & doesn’t sync with Watch appI’ve been using Fitbod for years. The app has so much potential. It makes logging workouts and tracking progress so easy. I usually use my owns self-created workouts, but the ones that the app generates are great as well. But lately, the app has been crashing nearly every time I use it. When I create a workout, when I update a workout, when I’m mid-workout trying to log a set, the app crashes. It’s incredibly frustrating. Often times I start a workout and continue to log exercises on my Apple Watch, then get halfway thru my workout before I realize the app on my phone has not synced, and not of my progress appears there. Then the watch app defaults to the phone app, and my progress is erased on the watch, forcing me to go back thru and re-log everything from memory if I want to have a record of the day’s workout. I’m not sure what the issue is. I sent an email but have received no word back. There have been sporadic issues like this in the Pat surrounding various updates, but they usually pass within a few days. This time the problem has persisted for months. Please. For the love of the gains, fix this issue. I pay for this app and it crashes nearly every time I open it. Often times, mid-workout. It’s infuriating. Only thing keeping this review at 3 stars instead of 5..Big review guyVersion: 4.12.0

✓ Great app but the spam emails.The app is alright I wouldn’t put it up there with the best on the market, the different exercises library is so basic, many exercises aren’t listed nor is there anyway that I know of to add a custom exercise to a workout routine. I would like to see the 3 work out sessions extended to possibly 5 before being asked to pay a monthly or yearly subscription, however the serious down turn is the email spamming it is absolutely ridiculous how many emails I’m sent by this application and for that I’ve decided to truely down rate the product. I’ve paid for a monthly subscription, however honestly do believe I’ll stop using once it’s done and look for something more..M.K.JamesVersion: 3.15.1

✓ Good when it works and doesn’t crashProbably the most unstable app I have ever used. I purchased it as it was recommended as an app that worked with the Apple Watch and would allow me not to keep my phone with me in the gym. Unfortunately the app seems to rely on regular connectivity to the phone or it can’t remember what weight you last used and constantly crashes if you try to input a weight, or if you want to increase your weight e.g you have improved and want to increase weight mid set. The other annoying issue is if the app crashes you need to go back to your gym locker, open your phone and wait for it to reconnect to resume. Better to stick with the free or cheaper apps that don’t support the watch and keep your phone close by. I wouldn’t bother with a purchase as it is overpriced for the quality..Tricky.davoVersion: 3.10.2

✓ Bugs making app unusableI’ve been a paying customer of Fitbod for over a year now. When it works the app is fine but that is increasingly rare. For the following reasons I cannot recommend this app. Problem 1: Unreliable The app will at least once a week forgot whole exercises, whole sets and only record part of one exercise. This is infuriating because you don’t realize until it’s too late. All of the data is lost and has to be re entered from memory. Problem 2: App Software Errors The app upon creating new workouts manually will throw up an un clearable error requiring the App to be closed and re started, often losing the set data entered. Problem 3: Apple Watch Bugs The Apple Watch app will open randomly and need to be closed multiple times even if no active activity is occurring on the iPhone. Problem 4: No Reply from Customer Support I’ve reached out to customer support using the app feature regarding these issues. No reply was provided. These issues have been prevalent for months and appear more frequently recently. I’ve lost faith in Fitbod and will be looking elsewhere..Marko999999Version: 4.21.0

✓ Way too expensive, outdated interfaceThis app was good for varying exercises, albeit a bit simplistic and with a chunky interface. I’ve cancelled my subscription because it’s overpriced. I don’t like having to sign myself up to a full year in order to pay for a reasonable subscription and the only other option is paying monthly at nearly £10 per month! This is far too overpriced for an algorithm based app. Think I’d rather put that extra £10 a month towards a better gym that includes personal trainers than an algorithm that still takes editing to work. I’ll be using a better priced app like Strong until this becomes more affordable. If it were maybe £5 monthly I would definitely support the app despite its childish interface..BshfrdVersion: 3.6.1

✓ Price is WAAAAY too highHuge rip off.PWN3B0YVersion: 6.7.0

✓ Not worth itThis is just slightly better than tracking your workout in Excel spreadsheet. It lacks basic features and random. Refreshing workouts doesn’t change the workout, it just removes any modification you would’ve made. At times it suggests me to do 18 reps, 3 sets with no breaks in between. It supersets things that doesn’t make any sense. Very disappointing..SbrinthVersion: 6.12.1

✓ Poor Workout DesignI selected 4 x 45 minute, full-body workouts per week with a strength focus, using normal gym equipment and intermediate level for 52yo male. First workout began with barbel bicep curls. Ok. Then moved in to a narrow-grip barbell bench press supersets with DB shoulder press. The WARMUP set recommended for shoulder press was 5 x 30kg. I’m no weakling, but that’s not a warmup set! The working sets were 10 x 20kg. Next was cable rows supersets with burpees. Biceps were already pre-fatigued so I had to do the cable rows on a lighter weight than I would have liked. Next was barbell bench press. Thing is, my chest and triceps (and shoulders) were pre-fatigued, compromising my performance on bench (not to mention injury risk). That was as far as I got in 45 minutes, and no major leg muscle groups were programmed. I took a sneak peak at the next workout, which was programming bench press, squats, deadlifts, pull-ups and RDLs (plus other exercises) all in the same workout…supposedly in 45 minutes! I deleted the app and would not recommend based on my experience with it.Simon.reeVersion: 6.12.1

✓ Limited vs cheaper optionsIt won’t let you edit some rest times, they will just default to 0, there are limited exercises, you can’t add custom exercises, there are better apps for a lot cheaper.RobbiekrnzVersion: 6.15.0

✓ Huge design flawTried to renew my subscription, paid the money, and my account is still locked out. Completely unable to restore a subscription through the app. Now I’m paying for something I can’t use while I wait for someone to finally get back to me and correct it..AaaaajjjjjjjjjjVersion: 4.5.2

✓ Need a family plan!I LOVED this app until my free trial ran out. At that point I couldn’t use it since my husband is already using it on the same apple family sharing plan. We would pay more for a family plan that we could both use..ReubennnnnnnnnVersion: 4.11.0

✓ Rip off!I was super impressed with the app, even without having to pay, I necessarily don’t need all the extras. Then I discovered after 3 workouts, you have to pay the $60 a year for it to work!!!! I JUST want a n easy way to log my exercises!!!!!.Brenda HeemskerkVersion: 3.0.2

✓ Do not use if you are not professionally trained and know how to take care of your bodyI sustained a long term lower back injury using this app because I am not a professional fitness expert with no training and with the ability to just set whatever you see fit as your own goals and training and with no proper instructions other than really crappy videos, I do not recommend anyone use this app unless they are well trained and equipped in the exercises already. I am not happy and this back injury doesn’t look it’s going away anytime soon..ShaquillioVersion: 5.0.2

✓ Good but..Honestly, its a good app but there are some bugs that dont seem to be the priority to the developers. For example. The are muscle groups to choose from to create a workout. The option is given to choose a secondary muscle (calf, traps, forearms etc.) but when you click on save it doesnt generate automaticaly. I have contacted support and searched the forums and it hasnt been fixed in a year. Why buy this app that is supposed to create your workout when you end up having to create it yourself. I might be picky but for an advance weightlifter, ill just save my money and create my own workouts. There are TONS of free workouts online and free apps. Thanks.RickyBoy008Version: 4.11.2

✓ Have used for 4 years-don’t recommendI’ve been a user of fitbod for 4 years, and I’m sad to say despite loving it very much and continuing to give it a chance, I will not be renewing my subscription next month. While the app is a great concept, and a lot of the features work great, it has been plagued forever by syncing issues. Your exercises get deleted, time elapsed resets, and calories disappear, resulting in an increasingly frustrating workout. Every update just seems to make things worse as the developers prefer adding new ui elements to fixing the issues, and the new design inadvertently breaks the app further every time. Very very very disappointing..Yas9inVersion: 5.20.0

✓ Customisation is a trade offWould like to create a week’s worth of training and choose days with weights and days only bodyweight. Would like to choose my exercises for each of these days and save as one profile so it tracks and suggests gains. Fitbod doesn’t seem to be able to do this. Sure I can create a profile for each day but that doesn’t work with preview upcoming workout. If you are a beginner with no clue but general aims, it’s a good app. But I’ll go back to looking for something flexible and more intuitive. Cheers..Chagrin22Version: 4.30.1

✓ My rating changes when there’s an iPad versionMake it happen.KunleKunskiVersion: 6.17.1

✓ Not able to add my own exercise or different machineThe app is good but it doesnt allow customization. It would be nice to be able to take picture of machine and add your own exercises. I have the impression they just take money without any improvements to the app.DanyintheskyVersion: 6.18.0

✓ Not Working!!Have been using this app since May and it’s been amazing but since December it’s super slow, crashes my phone, and often doesn’t even record my workouts anymore.Blah-blah-blah9496Version: 3.8.1

✓ Not value for money, so far...I’ve recently paid for a subscription to discover that the weights from my previous workouts have not transferred to the workouts designed for me by the app. Rather, the suggested weights are like 1kg so I have to try to remember back to the last time I did the activity to find the weight I’d previously used (I could not view this once I had commenced the workout). This is very frustrating and I Hope is a newbie glitch. I also am not sure how to, say, due a leg workout if the app thinks I am due for an upper body workout. It isn’t user friendly in this respect. I like that I can easily find replacement activities and build supersets, but overall I am disappointed thus far..JeanneBearVersion: 3.3.3

✓ Needs workGreat app concept and think it’s got fab prospects, but there’s some work which needs to be done. The app has a huge amount of exercises and yet it seems to suggest the same handful of workouts everytime. Very little variation. The reason I wanted this app was to mix things up and add variation to my training and therefore I probably won’t subscribe after my 3 trial sessions. Also you cannot add your own custom training splits, and I train anterior and posterior, because you cannot add your own split it changes back each time to whatever your other choice is, which is annoying. And also means it schedules you a workout which is not in line with your desired split. Will keep an eye on the app and maybe sign up if more updates happen in the future..NickieggVersion: 6.0.0

✓ LackingI find myself spending more time altering the daily workouts than anything else. The order of the exercises within a set often makes no sense. Also I am CONSTANTLY adjusting the weight used in the exercises as the recommendations are too low. I increase the weight and log it with every workout. You would think the app would adjust the reco over time but it hasn’t. I would like to be able to exclude muscle groups permanently rather than having to do it with each and every workout. I’m an avid cyclist so between rides and other workouts I do.. so for example I should be able to exclude glutes and quads permanently if I choose to. I have my Fitbod account linked to Strava so Fitbod reflects the rides but I still get a reco for those muscles groups even when they’re fatigued. I also thought there would be more variety in the structured workouts but there isn’t. This doesn’t make sense to me as it looks as there is a database of dozens of exercises for each muscle group.. but I keep getting the same two over and over. I really wanted to like the app but after a month I don’t see the value in paying 10 bucks a month when I have to spend 5-10 minutes a day customizing the workouts along with the other issues I mentioned..Caustin919Version: 4.5.3

✓ Good app but workout programming isn’t greatThe app works fine as far as function goes. However, the main purpose of a workout generator is so that people that don’t know what they are doing can have some guidance. There is guidance with exercise instructions and demos but the guidance for an optimal workout is subpar. I am a personal trainer and a natural pro bodybuilder. I would never program an isolation movement before a compound movement unless it was a pre-exhaustion type of routine. There is no rhyme or reason for the way the system generates exercises for a routine. I was playing around with it to see what the routines looked like and it generated a chest and tricep routine that started with 6 sets of 2 reps with dumbbell flys. That doesn’t even make sense. Why would an isolation movement be put as the first exercise and why would an isolation type movement only have sets of 2? That should be compound movement in that spot. I tried to regenerate the routine and it kept coming up with the same first exercise so I manually had to go in and replace the exercise and move all the exercises around to arrange them more logically. Too much work for something that’s suppose to be a no work no hassle workout generator. This is the same problem that I’ve found with most computer generated apps that works off of algorithms..EceirfedVersion: 3.10.2

✓ Good but expensiveAfter my first workout i really like the app, super easy to use. its just really expensive at $20/month. especially on top of already climbing gym membership fees. i would love to see a freemium pricing model or 1 month trial, so i can actually try the app properly before commiting to a subscription. the 3 workout limit before subscribing is a little rough. thats less than a week trial for most of us..Pepsi_max_luvs_pepsiVersion: 6.0.0

✓ Repeats the same ExercisesThis App definitely has some great features like building a new workout for you daily by the muscle groups you want to work. After using it for a while now I have come to realise that it keeps repeating the same boring exercises daily. The annoying thing is that there are basically NO exercises that involve squats with weights . It only gives you options of Glute bridges and leg raises when I have mine selected to dumbbells. It’s extremely frustrating and I’m now super bored of the App so will be unsubscribing..AmzrooneyVersion: 5.24.0

✓ Great potential but misses the MarkI’ve been using this app daily for two months now. While the concept of having it adjust to meet your ability and push you further is great it misses the mark on execution. It starts out great, five stars for being able to suggest the proper weight and exercise according to what I want to achieve and the equipment I have available. -1 star for not being able to RELIABLY go between my Apple Watch and phone to track progress or complete sets or workouts. App is often out of sync. On my watch the timer randomly stops while on the phone it works fine. Not all the time and not for the same workouts which only adds to the frustration because I never know what to expect next. -1 star for not being able to RELIABLY add exercises or sets. Have tried several times and it’s hit or miss. Sometime it works, other times it resets prior exercises I already completed. Now before I try to add I take screenshots of any changes I made in case it decides to reset. -1 star for having to pay a subscription for an app that is not being properly tested before it’s released. Looking back over past comments and many people have said the same thing, this is unacceptable. If we are being asked to pay monthly or annually for a service the least they can do is address the issues that are being reported. Not expecting changes overnight but going back a year and seeing the same called out, it’s time to get it right. If not, start reimbursing us until you can..GPDistelVersion: 4.18.2

✓ App is unusable: Request for clipboard pasteThe app consistently requests access to my clipboard after each action taken. Not only is this a terrible privacy issue, it makes the app unusable..MbrotosVersion: 6.17.1

✓ Such a good app but...The subscription fees are too high for a tracking app. It does everything you want, and brilliantly, but if it were not for the steep fees, it would be a 5-star app. Only gives you 9 free workouts until you need to purchase a subscription. Such a shame..D@nzVersion: 3.19

✓ Good app but bad pricing structureThis is a good app but I just can’t get my head around the pricing/subscription structure on apps like this with no option to buy the app outright. I mean I could buy a game that has taken a couple of years to make for under $100, while a very basic in comparison gym app has ongoing subscription costs which could end up costing substantially more. It’s a shame as the app is quite user friendly, but I will be switching to something that is priced a bit better..???ooooooVersion: 3.6.1

✓ I love the app butI love this app. Great workout day suggestions. However I have huge frustration with the support team as they Do Not listen. The app has a huge flaw. When I configured for strength as my workout option I should be getting low reps and high weight exercises. Instead I get options with 22 reps. I logged tickets to No Avail. Too bad really. I have to manually change the workout every day..BbbbbbbbbbbnbVersion: 4.14.0

✓ FailingUsed to be okay. Too many bugs. Both phone and watch are updated but no improvement to functionality. Phone to watch doesn’t sync so you end up logging 2 workouts. Opens to the same workout every time so needs to be refreshed to get variation. Sometimes just fails mid workout so you loose your workout data. It’s a very good app when it works, particularly as I have a home gym and it helps track based on what equipment I have to use. But will be considering other options based on recent performance..BedemgVersion: 5.22.0

✓ Not good for beginners liftersI have used this app for almost two months now. It has great number of workouts. It gives you freedom of choosing your workout style, let you select your body parts, let you change the workout reps and time. However, when it comes to generating a workout, the apps gives workout in really poor order. For example, if I select back and biceps workout, the app would ask me perform few biceps exercises first which is not ideal because if my small muscle bicep is tired how I am supposed to lift heavy for my back training. Same goes chest and triceps. Sometimes asking me to perform bench press on 8th exercise when my muscles are super tired. I understand the app lets you change the exercises but the whole point of me spending the money was to get rid of thinking my workouts. I have not a trained a single day without changing my workout..Yograj594Version: 6.16.0

✓ Not Very Organized or AdvancedSo I am kind of disappointed with the App. I do find it is great for beginners and intermediate lifters to learn about their bodies while keeping a variety of exercises, however there is very little structure for bodybuilding or working on a specific exercise or body part. For example I have had this app for 4 months and I’ve done some of the basic compound movements once in that time period. It also does not allow me to set shorter rest periods. I am not powerlifting so I do not need to wait 1:30-2:00 between sets and I find I spend most of my time trying to shorten those times on the app. I love that it does have circuits but I have yet to see a drop set which is kind of disappointing when there are other types of training methods. I am probably going back to my old app to just make my own workouts again..Luke48292Version: 6.11.0

✓ Used to workThe generated workouts used to match my criteria .... but they now fall short. I reached out to customer service and they offered a fix, which worked for a week or two before things started to break again. I’m really disappointed because the workouts are great when the app generates them correctly, but that no longer happens..Reviews289Version: 4.10.0

✓ Pay to useYou have 3 workout sessions, then you have to pay to keep using. Should be more upfront about that. Good app otherwise but that tainted it for me..FitonesVersion: 3.23.1

✓ Select your equipment, set your goals, and the app does the restFirst I have tried but they make it easy to work out..Almostnever game..Version: 6.20.0

✓ Horrible appMoved overseas and can’t get the subscription off my Apple ID so I can change my region on the App Store..Fly'nhawiianVersion: 6.7.0

✓ Great, but needs some featuresI’ve been using Fitbod for a while now and there’s really no other fitness app out there that compares for ease of use. If you are looking to start and get into a workout routine, this app with get you going right away. Overall, I’ve been pretty pleased with Fitbod and I’ll still continue to use it. The downsides are that it’s lacking some features that would be helpful. I’m starting to look into training for a triathlon and it would be great to generate strength training for specific disciplines like running, cycling, swimming, golf, etc. Only having five or six general categories doesn’t really diversify for specific training. I’m not looking for a full on training plan, but more supplemental training for other sports. The other issue is no Garmin support. There’s only Apple health, Strava, and Fitbit. I’ve been able to sync my Garmin data through Apple Health and then into Fitbod to have it count for other workouts (e.g. - cycling, swimming, etc.) but it’s not super accurate and I’m not sure it’s working to the fresh muscle groups when generating workouts. It seems that the AI that was there before isn’t the same as it was a year ago, so not sure if there was an update that tweaked that. Overall, Fitbod does fill the gap of taking the guesswork out of strength and lifting, but it still needs some work..UltraloveninjaVersion: 6.13.2

✓ Great app… to expensive for basic useThis app seems to have a lot of great functions and integrations, and was really pleased to use it for the first time today. Then I found out there’s no free version, just paid for, and I either need to chuck £70 at it or £11/month. If you’re serious about weights and rely heavily on the app then I understand it, but for someone who wants to set up some basic workouts to supplement other fitness it’s too much. Even a stripped down version for a couple of £ / month or a free stripped out version with ads would be useful. It’s a shame because this is clearly one of the better apps. Only other thing is from a UX point of view - it’s a little confusing. I think Fitbod could do a better job of grouping the various areas of the app. For example, accessing settings can only be done from the “Log” view - something like that should be persistent. Shame because the actual core functionality is nicely thought out and designed..El senor mikeVersion: 6.4.0

✓ Engages in organised crimeMatters are referred to police.VerrrrybadVersion: 6.23.1

✓ Good but could be brilliantI’ve used the app for a month and generally find it really good. However each time I use it for a training session some of the exercises are using equipment that I do not have. When I first set up my initial programme I entered the equipment that I have. However it is clearly not being recognised as it keeps giving some exercises using equipment that I do not have. Therefore with each training session I have to adjust the exercises that are impossible without the equipment. How many times must I enter the available equipment. This is so annoying. I have deducted one star for this and one because given this error it makes me doubt the overall accuracy of the app. To be fair even with this error I am enjoying the training sessions I just hope that it can be sorted sooner rather than later..22615Version: 5.25.0

✓ I WANT to love this app...I’m a fitness professional. MS in exercise Science and an exercise specialist. For the casual gym goer looking to expand their repertoire in the gym and have something keep them accountable and organized, this app is wonderful. It’s user friendly, right to the point, and highly intuitive for just about anybody looking to get in shape. My issue is this. I got this app because of the convenience and the peace of mind knowing that I can follow the given workout and be confident that I’m doing all the right exercises. But I don’t have that convenience and peace of mind because I’m OFTEN finding myself trying to configure the workouts beforehand, quite thoroughly. The workout plan comes up and it gives me exercises that are just not conducive to a good workout. Meaning, why would I do an isolated movement, 3 sets of 6 before a heavy compound lift for 5 sets of 12? That makes no sense. Unfortunately I have to do a lot of the thinking myself because the algorithm provided just spits out workouts based on a flawed system. It doesn’t know what I know and how I would configure my workouts so in order for me to work better with the app, I’d have to sit there and configure every exercise. And makes sure you save the workout because any setting changed without saving the workout will completely throw out everything you just did. Frustrating when you’re on the fly. Anyways, good app, just can’t love it..Jay_CassVersion: 3.3.1

✓ Full of bugs makes it unusableI have never written a review before but feel compelled to let people know they are being ripped off. First bug was that it didn't sync my active energy after a few workouts. Tried everything to fix it and I’m pretty tech savvy. Next was it was recommending too many lower split workouts. I set it to pull/push/lower split and it would generate workouts like Lower, push, Lower, pull, push, Lower, pull, push etc. My legs were on fire and on the upcoming workouts it still didn’t resolve and seems to miss out the pull workouts. Shouldn’t it be something like lower then push then pull - repeat. It correctly reflected my legs recovery at being at very low percentage but would still generate a lower split workout. Next was no matter how many times I excluded and saved the excluded workouts they would come back. Same for equipment used. This wasn’t even resolved for any period of time. I would go back to generate the next workout and they would appear again instantly. Same with equipment. It also seems to just forget most other exercises and repeat the same ones. How can you trust the developers to create an algorithm for workouts when they can’t get the basics right? I don’t trust it at all. It’s a disgrace they are charging people for this app..Joel AberdeenVersion: 3.16

✓ FrustratedI am a beginner but I’m not in bad shape. I’ve been swimming for 4 years. I wanted to get out of the pool, many benefits with this app. I have the ability to customize my gym. You don’t have something? That’s alright! Just put it in the app. Want to change the workout for that area. Change it! Super easy to figure out. Really easy and practical to use. Don’t know how to do something? Don’t stress, they have a tutorial for that! I decided to do an at home workout as a beginner. I have worked out once or twice on land. I haven’t even finished the first set and the pain just made me stop. I walk for hours at my job I can’t be having leg pain that makes it hard to get up in the morning. Don’t let the word “beginner” fool you. This app is by far NOT for beginners. If you are a beginner. Do NOT use this app. I am now currently laying on my bedroom floor with the fan on full blast. Very frustrating and honestly giving up the idea of working out. Just going to deal with the diabetes when I get old and get married before I can’t walk down the aisle. If you have been working out for a while. Want to spice up your workout, tone your body, build muscle, learn new moves, THIS is the app for you. Otherwise just walk away before you end up like me....Magic-mystikVersion: 4.29.0

✓ Glitchy and BuggyThis app, whilst having massive potential is bogged down by a number of glitches and bugs. Updates often break things which weren’t broken, and whenever I contact support they ask me to email the problems, but that would take too long because there’s a lot of issues. The app also sometimes crashes my entire phone when I complete a workout and it calculates my achievements. As I said, has massive potential but for a paid service, I expect updates which are actually beneficial and meaningful and quicker fixes to bugs. I recommend the developers of the app actually use this themselves as there is no way they could miss the bugs.GeohallVersion: 3.21

✓ IT SHOULDNT COST MONEY FOR A PERSON TO WORKOUT!!!I don’t want to have to pay for me to do my workouts!!!.RollerbinVersion: 6.3.0

✓ Fixes neededPlease add the following : 1- Replace kg with lbs for all exercises option (a permanent switch somewhere) 2- When i replace an exercise with another, make it a permanent replacement 3- Add more machines, alot are missing 4- the log set on iphone sometimes jumps to the next excercise instead of staying in the same and moving to the next set. Fix that.Awayase2121Version: 6.16.0

✓ Great idea but has issuesThis is the first fitness app of this kind that I’ve used. It’s a great idea and does a good job at replacing class workouts. I love the mini circuits that it suggested and found they kept me motivated. It provides combinations of exercises I just wouldn’t have made myself. There are however issues that I’ve come across. One of the suggested circuits given was 5 sets followed by 2 sets and another 2 sets across 3 different exercises. What do you do with the final 3 sets of exercise 1...? Also it does not provide a suggested test period between. Do we assume there is no rest (if so it’s not thought through at all) It doesn’t seem to record calories correctly. With an hour and 20 minutes completed it suggested just under 400 calories were burned. The 36 minutes of cardio at the beginning burned 500 alone according to the machine. My final issue is with the ongoing cost. £55 a year seems reasonable if paid monthly, however to pay monthly the cost doubles to just under £10 a month. In my opinion it’s not worth that. Having researched there are several similar apps for half the price. To finish on a positive, the video examples of exercises were very helpful. Especially if you’re trying something new. In conclusion, great idea, well executed in most parts, but not for that price..DarylC.Version: 3.16
