Brilliant app!
This was the app I’ve been looking for all these years. Tried a few others before picking Fitbod, I find that it’s perfect for measuring muscular progressive overload which is vital for gradual but steady muscle growth. Also the timings between sets etc are excellent. The app measures progress very well to increase the challenge week to week but you have to be honest with yourself regarding how hard an exercise was before inputting into the app. I’ve already seen more gains using this app in a month than a decade of training erratically without a plan. I also like that it varies exercises and keeps mobility exercises up which have been essential to my progression. I’ll certainly recommend this app when people ask me to give them tips on training which I’m sure will happen soon when they see my results!Show lessBig_Al1
You got equipment? You go to a Gym? Buy this app
If you own your equipment or go to the gym this app is a must have. On most visits to the gym you will find many wondering aimlessly around wondering what exercise to do next, I have also been one of those gym users. With COVID-19 paying us a visit in 2020 I decided with my wife to invest in our own equipment and this app is the perfect partner for home or commercial gym. You tell the app what equipment you have and this could range from a dumbbell/kettlebell to a more complex setup of bars and benches. The app will dynamically create you a work out for YOUR equipment and will keep adjust each day to vary the workouts. This I like as the app takes into account recover. This app does what no other app does and that’s tailored workouts for YOU and YOUR equipment. I’ve seen so many other apps plan workouts for equipment you don’t have. I could ramble on and on about this app I really believe it deserves a number one title and is THE ULTIMATE Fitness app and fairly priced. I would say the way it works is even better than a personal trainer, although I’m sure many will disagree with that comment. Just try it and before long you will see what I mean.Show lessMrme242
LOVE!! Totally worth it.
I love everything about this app. I’ve been using it for a year and can’t believe I haven’t left a review on it yet. Fitbod rocks because it simplifies everything about weightlifting. Other apps like bodyfit make you choose from plans but Fitbod takes the choice out of it and tailor fits the plan to you. Everything is just so personalized I couldn’t recommend it enough. I paid for the annual Membership back in December of 2019 and most certainly plan on letting my renewal rollover. Well worth the price. I’m even willing to pay that amount in spite of the fact that I haven’t had access to the gym. Here in California all the 24 hour fitnesses have shut down for a large part of quarantine. I haven’t used the app that much since I purchased in last December because of the lack of gym equipment but for the little time I was able to use them before March it was a dream. It was literally like a personal trainer for a few months all for the price of $60. They clearly put a lot of work in to this app. Here’s to hoping that they continue to improve and add more helpful intuitive features like the weight plate calculator and the timer etc... 5 stars!!!Show lessElgin Thomas
An almost perfect home fitness app
I’ve been using Fitbod for a couple of months now and it’s proved itself to be worth the money. I’m fortunate to have some equipment at home, all I needed was some guidance on what to do with it. Fitbod has given me exactly what I needed and I’m seeing (and feeling) the results. It costs the same as the cheap gym membership I had, but gives me a plan to follow that is working better than a gym membership did. The functionality of the app is flawless. It gives you a lot of flexibility to customize your workout if you want to change the exercises that it generates. The navigation is easy and it integrates with Apple Health and Fitness. It provides a good post-workout summary and helps keep you motivated by letting you know when you’ve set personal records. Overall, I’m happy.
My only gripe is that, while this app won’t let you forget about leg day, it seems to neglect chest and triceps exercises unless you manually change the muscle groups you want to work out. It’s easy enough to fix that, especially since it shows you how your muscles have recovered since you last worked them, but the point was to have an app that would guide me through full body fitness. For that reason, it falls just a little short of perfect for me. Regardless, I’m still happy overall with the app and plan to continue using it for the foreseeable future.Show lessMasonV57
Great potential but misses the Mark
I’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.Show lessGPDistel
Great features, could be improved
I think this app is absolutely amazing with the timer option for circuits, hundreds of exercises, and very useful support and videos. Building a workout is fun and inspiring once you get the hang of the UX. I even like the emails and blog posts! I am stuck working out at home with limited equipment and the app feels like a daily personal trainer.
My critique is that the workout generator is getting boring as hell after thirty days of use. Every day I get the same three different push ups. Why would I want to do three varieties of push up in a row every day? I like creating my own workout too but I would be so much happier if the AI or algorithm was more varied so I could learn new moves. Or maybe the AI could notice when I’m always swapping the pike push-up for downward dog push up. I don’t want to do superman anymore. Set me free!!!
I also think the blog post workouts should be automatically loaded onto the app as templates, and that more exercises could be added for resistance bands, thigh bands, Pilates ball, and balance exercises. Add a few more isolating muscle groups like obliques and include workout generator categories for balance exercises and dynamic stretch exercises.Show lessnicknamegenerator5000
User friendly and time saving
I have trained with personal trainers and loved it, but due to covid, I was unable to access one any longer. We built up a small gym area in the garage, but after a few months I found my creativity for workout creation fading, my muscles were used to my known exercises, and I was no longer making any gains. Fitbod came right on time. It’s user-friendly, has hundreds of workout options, saves me a lot of time planing workouts, and is excellent for all levels. It takes into account your equipment, or lack thereof, and incorporates it into the routines. It learns what is easy or too hard, as adjusts workouts based on this. The instructions and demonstration videos ensure safety and good form for new exercises, and you can tailor workouts based on your goals. You can be a complete beginner or gym rat and enjoy the workouts, have no equipment or all, and adjust the time you want to spend working out each day. I am honestly really impressed, and for $60 a year I’ve never felt so motivated to keep working out. My only recommendation would be to add in a couple more cardio options (kickboxing, boxing, etc) for those who enjoy MMA and strength fitness routines.Show lessSteph NKing
Wish I’d found it sooner
After filling in my details, the app designed a workout that was perfect for me. Since then I haven’t wanted to skip a workout and I felt better after 1 week using this app than I have in years of training myself. I think it’s perfect for anyone who just wants to get in, train hard, and get out. It does all the thinking for you and if you’re like me it pushes you to go further than you normally would. I’ve been reintroduced to a lot of exercises and body parts that I have neglected and I feel so much better for it. It’s literally like having the best personal trainer in your pocket for a fraction of the cost.Show lessRyanjace
I love the app but
I 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.Show lessbbbbbbbbbbbnb
App keeps crashing & doesn’t sync with Watch app
I’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.Show lessbig review guy
