Frustrated
I 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...Show lessmagic-mystik
A month in and never going back
I have been trying to get into working out for around 2 years now. I struggle with social anxiety so going to a gym and not knowing what to do or if I’m doing it right had been a BIG struggle. I had settled for 10 minute workout videos and running until I had a friend recommend this app. I’m OBSESSED. The algorithm works different muscle groups each workout so that I’m not doing just an “arm day” or “abs day”. Also, throwing in different exercises each day keeps me interested AND has proven to help my muscles. I love that you can change reps or weight for each round of an exercise as well. The videos and descriptions work perfectly to describe/show the correct form for the exercise. This not only helps my confidence in public but is super important for a beginner (to learn the correct form that is). As a student, it’s also really nice to be able to change gym profiles for at home/at summer apartment/at school. VERY handy. I also loveee the Apple Watch compatibility (calories don’t count unless they’re on the Apple Watch!) I’ve only been using the app for about a month but I am shocked at the amount of muscle i have added. This app really is like a personal trainer and adds room for personalization, the perfect mix.Show lessazilee22
Developer Response
We are thrilled! Thanks for the review we are glad to have you in the Fitbod family 😊All round excellent but with small errors
It's a fantastic app to use for your workouts and has invigorated me to really take control of my fitness. I have noticed smaller things like spelling errors across instructions for excersies, and when doing something like an assisted dip or pull up it still shows the highest value input as the app belives the higher wait makes it harder when it is very much the opposite.
I'd like to see more customisable export of data options and the ability for people with the app to share workouts with each other.Show lessDavid-in-the-212
Great with some easy to fix flaws
The app provides a solid system to set up a workout routine based on your requirements and restraints. The video tutorials provide clarity that affirm you are getting the workout you signed up for. The interface is engaging and well designed. The issue is bugs and some logic within the app. The most annoying issue is the lack luster algorithm for determining calories burned. It is directly tied to the time of your workout, regardless if you just sat there for an hour. In fact if you take twice as long to do the same workout, you will be rewarded about twice the calories. This is silly and should be fixed as it a big reason I do not port this data to Apple health. Two, the split days do not recalibrate correctly if you change the split day (maybe you wanted to do chest on a Friday instead of legs.. it might make it chest again on Monday. Three, small bug but if you go to check future workouts, it won’t load all of them until you click on one first or leave the screen and return to it. This is probably a week of dev work max. Please fix these issues.

Excellent
I have been into physical fitness for many years. Recently gave up my gym membership and purchased my own equipment. I was getting frustrated with the Covid restrictions, and not being able to book a time to go, or the club being completely shut down. The app keeps things fresh and created workouts based on the equipment I have. I have noticed tremendous change in my strength, and my physical appearance. I highly recommend this app.Show lessHollyA1981
Keeps improving but always room for tweaks
Addition of dumbell weight increments in home gym setup has been really handy. Perhaps having a separate *single weight* value would be helpful though - so for people with adjustable weights, you’d have the option to put more on a single dumbell and use much higher weights for concentration curls than for hammer curls for example. You’d want to ensure single weight exercises didn’t mingle with doubles in a set though.
I’d like to see similar modifiers for other equipment too - eg I own loop bands but not the sort of installed framework that I can hook them around so those exercises could be limited to things I can do without that - loop band push ups, shoulder squeezes etc.
One other thing I’d like to see added would be to bring the workout schedule (days of the week) out of the app settings and into the workout settings. Also be good to highlight chosen workout days along the top in the log view too.Show lessMatt MotherChip

Love all of the features
I started using Fitbod in June 2018. Getting back into a workout routine as a mom and night nurse seemed impossible and overwhelming with three kids, an out of whack circadian rhythm, and limited time but I needed to do something for my health and to manage stress. I invested in home gym equipment over the years but never stuck with anything. I literally had to dust my weights and bench. I came across Fitbod while searching for an app to help me organize my workouts, give me some accountability, and some structure. It’s been a total game changer. There are so many helpful features that I love. It took the overwhelming planning me. Fitbod put together my workouts, according to the equipment I had, and was a great way to stay accountable. The instructional short how-to videos and explanations are great for beginners. I used these frequently to review form and ensure I was using the proper technique to avoid injury and get the maximum benefit. The timers for rest periods, superset builders, recovery log, max effort days, I love everything about it. For a busy mom with three kids, lifting with Fitbod took the stress of planning my workouts away and has allowed me to stay organized and progress! This transformation led me to health coaching and Fitbod is something I recommend to anyone looking to incorporate fitness into their routine.Show lessAnother Ashley Johnson
Makes exercise easier
I have been using Fitbod for nearly three months now and it has made it so much easier to work out regularly. I find the hardest part of workouts for me has been choosing exercises and keeping track of what I am doing. Fitbod handles both of those tasks well and lets me focus on the workout.
There are things I’d like to see added such as the ability to add certain exercises that are not there now. For instance, I have a concept2 erg for days I can’t get out and walk - but there is no option for adding rowing. And I often walk my golf rounds carrying my bag - but there is no way to add in the extra weight if I put walking in my log.
But these are small inconveniences compared to the benefits I get from letting Fitbod plan my workout. When it does give me slightly squirrelly exercise lineups (like three variants of glute bridges one day last week) it is easy to pick other things. And i frequently read up on T nation and other places to understand how to have proper form on new exercises, since the instructions in Fitbod tend to be quite concise.
In short, thank you Fitbod - I am already seeing improvements in areas where I was literally weak and that is all the motivation I need.Show lessaepva
BEST. APP. EVER. Great for pandemic weight loss!
I have downloaded every fitness app out there. This app is great because it lets you put in what equipment you have, makes a workout for you, calibrates the workout for you based on what difficulty rating you put in for the workout. It also lets you easily add on to workouts or replace if a workout is too hard. I have been looking for an app like this, I wish I had known about this app earlier before COVID. Gyms would’ve been so much easier to navigate! The recovery section of the app shows you which muscles you worked on the day before. The app also shows you which muscles you’re targeting for the day! Don’t like it? Change what you want to target and it’ll change the workout for you in 2 seconds! Amazing!!!! The tutorials are 5/5, EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT THIS APP is perfect. I wish I could thank the makers in person, you’ve given a highly anxious person peace when it’s time to go back to the gym. Developers, can you also possibly work on adding a punching bag to the list of equipment and have workouts tailored for those as well? Thank you!!! 5/5!!!!!Show lessNiekaaaaaaaa
