Best workout App ever - need to keep adding new exercises
Been using this app since April. Very effective. Definitely needs to frequently update with new exercises. I use this app at home for my weight training with dumbbells, mini loop bands and body weight because the timeframe to which I workout is a busy time at the gym. Would also like to see specific targeted muscle exercises like the different areas of chest, triceps, biceps, shoulders, etc.Show lessBeastieboy4

Been using this app for 6 months. Great for any beginners, I tried the more popular “workout” app to compare and found this one was better. It has better flexibility if you need to miss a day, easier to customise workouts, tracks your progress better and algorithms for training harder work better. Can adjust the amount of time you want to work out for, as previously said, easier to customise. I will say the only downsides are that there are a lot of easy exercises so I switched to the more difficult workouts only to find the same dumb exercises but the app lets me permanently delete them from future workouts.Show lessReviewer 0000000

Thanks so much for sharing your review and feedback! It's great to see you enjoy the amount of flexibility/customizable options and the different tracking features 🙌 We appreciate you sharing your thoughts!Great app but bored
Been using for 5 years but i am starting to get bored. Wish it had meal plans too making it easy to do the diet too. Thinking about switchingAlison aso

Thanks for sharing your review! In addition to the meal plans, is there anything else that you'd like to see added to the app that would improve your experience?Difficult to create non-gym workouts
I gave up trying to create programs for use at home and at the park.
The app has no support for exercises using park & playground equipment (e.g. park benches, monkey bars). It is also missing simple equipment which could add variety to home workouts (e.g. chair, door frame).
I didn’t find a way to specify custom equipment, and although it’s easy to replace an exercise, the range of exercises without gym equipment is very limited.
While this app wasn’t suitable for the type of workouts I was looking for, it seems quite capable of creating workouts for the gym.Show lessNotsoimpressed@Aus

I have spent the last 3 years using various fitness apps for my home gym. I noticed that after 2 months, I’d get bored with my 3 workouts per week, have a break for a week or two and try and find some new exciting exercise that I wasn’t already doing thinking it would unlock new gains. But doing so meant I was very inconsistent with my reps (either strength, hypertrophy etc) or chosen weight. What I love about this app is taking away the guess work, and just doing what the app recommends with just some minor tweaks if it’s too easy. The variety definitely gives you that CrossFit WOD feeling where you don’t know what you’re walking into that day. As a few people have mentioned, a buffer in the total workout time would be great, as adjusting weights in a home gym is slower than a commercial gym. It’s early days, but even on advanced setting, the workouts suggested are a bit easy - hopefully the AI picks up on this and the progress overload kicks in. Great app guys.Show lessWoov83

Thank you for your review! We're happy to be able to take the guesswork out of your training while keeping things feeling fresh. Definitely adjust the reps/weight as needed as you start out and you can also use the Exertion Rating after completing an exercise, this can help with improving those recommendations. More on the exertion rating here: https://fitbod.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033133174-Exertion-Rating If you have additional feedback along the way, you can send that over to us at feedback@fitbod.me :)Best on the market, room for Improvement
I really want to give this app 5 stars. No other strength training app has come close to the user experience of Fitbod for me. It has helped me tremendously with staying more consistent than ever in my fitness journey over at least the last six months. The written and visual instructions for exercises are bar none. The workouts continually keep you challenged with right amount of variability. If a piece of equipment is being used by someone else, I can swap for another one. If an exercise is not agreeing with my body, I can swap for another one. My first critique is the app continually changes my workout settings. It appears to be a bug. Customer success was unable to resolve this for me. It’s annoying. My second critique is, a while back I reached out for personal training advice and I never received a response. My last critique is I would like to see is stronger training and nutrition recommendations according to one’s specific health needs and goals. It’s nice to see the predetermined options to select from based on one’s fitness goals, but I think it can be even more personalized. I’ve been working my way out of “skinny fat” for a while and it would be nice to see a goal feature that focuses strictly on body recomposition. If that’s already an option, then it’s not made clear. Thank you for considering my feedback.Show lessjpmon086

Really good app. Doesn’t connect to Garmin sadly. I have emailed them shout it. Fitbod responded to say if there were enough requests that they would approach Garmin to enable workouts to load to Garmin like they do to Strava. Please email Fitbod to request this!
I recommend the app.Rodger thst
Developer Response
Thanks for your review and recommendation, Rodger! I've noted your feedback down around a Garmin integration as well. There is a workaround as well where you can sync Fitbod and Garmin to Apple Health and this should allow data to pass between the two. We appreciate your feedback :)Exceptional app
I love the versatility of this app. You can set it to yr home equipment or gym. I have a disorder which means I often have to work around injuries snd this is a breeze with this app given it’s flexibility to adapt programs. Never before paid for an exercise app but this is absolutely worth it.Roro

Thank you so much for choosing Fitbod - if you have any other suggestions along the way to make your app experience the best it can be, feel free to email us at feedback@fitbod.me anytime.Is this even for women??
I love the workouts it formulates, but it should recognize the strength differences between men and women and it doesn’t. Most of the weight recommendations were too low for lower body and WAY too high for upper body. I mean, 120lbs lat pull down and 55lbs dumbbell rows? As a 140lbs woman??? You’re kidding right?Show lessKel5566
Developer Response
We're sorry for any trouble with your weight suggestions, weight suggestions are based on your logged history/settings or we use our Warm Start model for exercises you haven't yet logged in the app, which does use different data including age and gender. Please reach out to our Support team at support@fitbod.me so we can further investigate this for you!Makes Workouts Fun & far more Productive
I’d been working out regularly for a few years but just kept doing the same few exercises & although I was spending a fair bit of time in the gym, I wasn’t getting much of a return.
About this time last year, I decided to try a few different apps to try & get more out of all the time I was spending in the gym.
I liked Fitbod the best as it lets you creat different gym profiles, every workout is different (unless you create your own), there’s a picture of which muscles need recovery, it tracks all your progress & at the end of each workout there’s a little hit of dopamine-inducing fireworks! 🎉
More than this, the results speak for themselves & I’ve doubled my strength in many muscle groups & am so much fitter than I was before!
As a rock climber, my only wish for improvement would be to add a hang board into the equipment list (please request this if you’re a climber too!).
Overall, I love it however & recommend it to everyone.Show lessjgrob3
