Virtual PT - mindblown
Honestly this is the best thing since sliced bread! No exaggeration intended. I’ve always been a person who relies on technology and digital enhancements to make life easier and fun(ner)… and this app pushes the envelope even further; it calculates what type of person you are and tailors a workout just for you! Mathematics and algorithms never sounded better. For the first time I actually enjoy working out, I open the app to find a workout already created for me, I compete the workout and go about my business to return the next day with a new personalised workout all whilst the app does the hard work of calculating reps etc. I’ve used a few apps in the past, one being centr and although it’s a great app (especially the recipes section and random classes) it’s nowhere near as advanced as Fitbod. I’m truly blown away. It’s been a whole year and the reason I chose to write a review this late is because a couple months ago Fitbod asked members for feedback and to my surprise they actually listened… we just got a new update with great new features and UI. Thank you to everyone at Fitbod. This isn’t an app you should be living without. It’s brilliant!Show lessAmin Abdullah
Great app really love it!, but
In January I’ll be already using this app for a year. It’s been quite an experience and it has helped me so much. Going to the gym without having to worry about “what I’m gonna train today” and being certain you’re not overtraining some muscles more than others it’s just so worth it!. I love the fact that I can use it and log sets from my Apple Watch!, even being able to see the exercise example video from your watch it’s also great. There are couple things that can be improved though, like being able to log the amount of effort at the end of each exercise from your Apple Watch, there’s kind of like a glitch when you mix timed exercises with reps exercises the clock keeps running and logging all the sets, it’s a pain in the neck. Also while I’m able to log my Nike Running app runs into Fitbod I’m not able to log my Nike Training routines when I do HIIT training and cardio on that app, that would be a great feature, like for the Fitbod app to be more open, like when I log my weight into my Apple Health from my Fit2Live app and I weight myself everyday. I think inter-connectivity is the way to go, in my humble opinion. Anyways Thank you guys for making such a great app!!! I’m a fan!Show lessMarlon C
Fantastic motivator
I've been away from the gym for 4 months due to Covid restrictions. Now I'm able to return, it's been an eye opener to see how much fitness Ive lost. But comparing the weights and reps that I previously did is a fantastic motivator. I know that exercises that I'm finding hard now will eventually seem too easy, provided I keep putting in the effort regularly. Thank you Fitbod for the unexpected benefit of being able to review my previous Fitbod Achievements 😊Show lessFedUpWithCovidApp
Completely Changed My Relationship with Fitness!
I started FitBod about a year ago and am SO happy I stumbled across this app!! After the changes that came with Covid, and being at home for two months, I was completely off my workout game. Pre-Covid I was an avid morning gym goer.. waking up at 5/530 to get to the gym and workout for an hour before heading to work by 8. When everything shut down last year, we fortunately had some decent at home weights and other things to help maintain a level of fitness, but I was all over the place with what I was doing. I was following random accounts on Instagram to get ideas, or different articles from health magazines, but felt my progress reversing.
When I came across this app, it totally changed everything! It gave me focus and a proper regime for working different muscles. It’s helped me to explore new and different moves, and also make me more comfortable with equipment now that I’m back in the gym. I love that I can set up different gyms, depending on if I’m at home, traveling, or full access at a gym. I still incorporate some other exercises outside of this app, but this has added so much to my routine! Thank you FitBod!!!Show lessJLoveDub1017
Perfect for someone who knows nothing about working out
Hands down, this is the best fitness app I’ve used. I’ve tried several and found this to be the most fit for my needs. Since it pretty much builds my workout based on fresh muscle groups, I confidently walk into the gym knowing that I’ll just do what the app tells me to do. It also gives a great variety to your workouts so you’re not doing the same things everyday. I’ve learned so much about the gym equipment from this app. The explanations and videos are exactly what I needed for new workouts. Honestly, every time I walk out of the gym after using this app, I always find myself saying to myself “that was a great workout”.
On top of that, I really like the replace feature. So if someone is using a piece of equipment outlined on my workout, I just replace it with a workout that exercises the same muscles.
And on top of that, the ability to customize the equipment you have available in the gym was so helpful when Covid closed all the gyms down. At that time I was stuck with at home workouts and the two kettlebells I owned. Thanks to this app, I had no excuses to stop working out when the gyms were closed.Show lessCassoke
Good but could be better
I did my first workout with Fitbod today. I really enjoyed the workout itself as I could pick which muscles I wanted to workout and it would generate the exercises for me. The exercises didn’t repeat, supersets were available, there is a built in timer, all of which I loved. Also available to add on are warm up and cool down exercises that are automatically generated for your muscle groups that you’re working out that day. And it shows you how to do each exercise/stretch. Can’t wait to see how my next two free workouts go before I consider subscribing.
The one downside I’ve noticed while trying to log the weights I used— for the mini loop bands and resistance bands, the only way to log weight is based on their specific band colors/levels of resistance and I have bands from different brands with different levels of resistance to them, so I would like to be able to insert my own level of resistance for workouts rather than the preset ones. Also, the colors of the bands in the app don’t match up with the colors of the bands they sell on the website. This should be reconciled to at least match the ones that the company sells IMO because then I’d be more likely to buy the ones that match the app. This isn’t a huge deal as I just matched the resistances, BUT it’s an easy fix the company should adjust.Show lesstiffydx3
Almost perfect- needs one feature
Hey Fitbod team, I’m loving the app and have been a paid subscriber for a couple of months now. So far I’m really loving it but there’s one missing feature that has put a bit of a thorn in my side, but it’s so close to already existing! Right now there’s a feature to exclude exercises, which I use, but what I really need is a feature to force include exercises. I want to set the foundation of every leg day to be good old fashioned squats, but right now often the app won’t suggest those and I have to manually add it, then remove some other one, which more often than not messes with supersets and is generally a pain to have to do. I would LOVE the ability to set it so that every leg day no matter what will always start with squats and end with leg press drop sets. Then let the app sort out the rest based on those non-negotiables. The same goes for other muscle groups, but I’m sure you get what I’m saying.
Hopefully this is useful feedback, it would be a huge value add for myself and would essentially remove all of the friction out of my workflow- I’d never have to edit workouts again!Show lessLolwuut
Outstanding
I’ve been using Fitbod for around a year now. Before that I’d followed a guide that I found online, which was ok but obviously repetitive and I found that I’d plateaued. Once you add your basic details and preferences (i.e. beginner, strength training, full body) then tell the app what equipment you have, how long you want to work out for and Fitbod will do the rest! It may take a few workouts of giving honest feedback (no effort to max effort) for the algorithms to get to know you, but I’ve seen steady, solid progress since then. Wouldn’t be without it now, happy to pay the annual subscription - it’s actually a huge bargain for what you get! There’s a super supportive, helpful and inclusive Facebook group for Fitbod who will offer all the help and encouragement you need. Honestly could not be happier with Fitbod, thank you!Show lessnotatraindriver
Exactly what I needed!
Growing up in sports and working out most of my adult life, I started to find it difficult after having my daughter to find time to plan my workouts. I’d forego planning, and go to the gym, and leave without feeling accomplished or having done anything meaningful. To combat that, I did CrossFit and workout classes bc I just needed someone to tell me what to do. Finally, I found Fitbod! I look forward to going to the gym throughout the week and have been able to establish a new routine. Before each workout, I check the app to get my mind right and know what workouts are listed for the day. After each workout, I feel SO accomplished! There are new workouts within the app that I’ve never before and are challenging me each workout. I use the HIIT feature for each workout, so it keeps my HR up and prevents me from lagging in between reps.
All in all, I recommend Fitbod to anyone looking to challenge themselves, loose weight, or get stronger, because this app will push you to reach your goals. All you have to do is commit and show up!Show lessCiara Harris
My own personal trainer
I smashed my phone one day and lost track of where I was, how to move forward and which exercises were right for my goals.
The app keeps me on track and with a little self input, I get the result I’m after. Can train without it.Flynns Dad
