Best app for at home and gym
This app is absolutely worth the money. Would pay more if they included more diet programmes like fat loss, muscle gain etc just a very simple food guide and not enough meat for me! Lots of vegetarian meals. Also EVERY meal is different in the guide which is hard for planning and macro/calorie breakdown is not provided which is annoying. If they synced their meals and meal plan somehow with MyFitnessPal it would be the dream also their workouts, if they were a listed workout on MyFitnessPal, that would be amazing too. But the Sweat app as a workout app is awesome and updates are continuously improving it.

Effective if you know what you’re doing
Long-time user of this app - on and off for the last five years - but have recently switched to other fitness apps due to more superior offerings for the same price ie guided workouts with verbal coaching and encouragement, particularly regarding form.
SWEAT workouts are effective if you know what you’re doing. However, if you don’t, you do risk injury ie sore knees etc. Do appreciate that there are lengthy written instructions for the ‘silent’ workouts. However, in terms of user experience, most people (myself included) will not choose to pause their workout to scroll through pages of written instructions. You just want to keep moving and get it done!
It would be wonderful to include more guided workouts like Kayla’s Dynamic High Intensity and Britany’s High Intensity Barre. (I know you do offer some guided options, but it would be great if there were more / verbal coaching for existing programs. Suggestion only: perhaps an audio option you can toggle on/off depending on whether the participant needs / wants guidance.

Great app. Nitpicking for future updates
I love Sweat and have been using it for years but would like a few tweaks before giving it a 5* rating... Most importantly: Would love a resistance option to focus on Posture please! That can be done at any time in surplus to or replacing one of the three normal resistance trainings. And: Fix the audio cues so that they end after the promoter (ie Kayla or kelsey has stopped talking) as often my own music volume remains lowered for a whole exercise. Very off-putting when you're enjoying a song and it's stays quiet for a whole set! Then: Cheaper food options / ones that allow to buy for one person / include leftovers Drag and drop planning options in the planner. (Like hold to edit and drag such as when deleting/moving apps on an iPhone) Lastly it would be awesome to be able to click move onto the next workout wirelessley (like clicking the next song on wireless headphones) Do all that and it will get a 5 star! Please and thank you!

Brilliant Programming
I have absolutely loved this app for its ease of use. It’s so well balanced, the programs and workouts are amazing. I began on the Body Burn Challenge and completed the 4 week program and have now begun the Fierce Program. It really takes the thinking out of my workout and I can just watch the videos if I’m unsure of an exercise. If I don’t like the exercise for whatever reason, I can substitute it with another that works the same muscle group, making it so much more versatile for anyone to use. It also avoids burnout too as I don’t have to be in the gym or training at home everyday. I love the emphasis of the rest day each Sunday as that’s my meal prep day. I have had the app in the past but have never used it to its full capacity and I feel like it’s so much more improved than I last remember. I’m getting some great results and feel so good in my skin 🥰

Great App and Program!
Edit: I still like the app. Some other areas of improvement is to allow swap exercises to happen eg the day before doing the workout. You can only swap exercises the day of. On the day of it can take sometime as you try to figure out the exercise you want to swap. I have been using the app for 6 months and still get confused ln finding the programs etc. I wish that the cardio days the app would populate options to do from trainers too if you don’t want to walk, run etc This is a really good app. The features I really like is the: ability to swap exercises, the timer included in the app, ability to record weight lifted, and the ability to swap programs between fitness folks (I have not yet) and even incorporate a workout from another program under different fitness folks to your calendar. How to strengthen: initially I was just a little confused when I began using the app, because of the layout ( I saw different sections for programs, then challenges and was not initially sure on what to do but eventually figured it out), Really appreciate the meal plan, would be nice if in the future they can consider adding food swap features with similar food macros. One other improvement is to maybe change up the cool down exercises and allow swap features for those too. I love the app and am glad I invested in it and am absolutely loving chontel Duncan’s program, which is really my style of training!To me it has been worth it!

Fantastic Workout App
There is not many trainers and workout apps out there that cater for pregnancy and post pregnancy workout. I didn’t have this app while pregnant but I wish I discovered it. I got this app as someone recommended it for their post pregnancy program following a c section. The program has really captured the reality our bodies go through to have a baby particularly the c section journey. It is a slow and steady program that gradually increases in intensity as your body starts to get use to using all types of muscles again. The variety of programs look great. I can’t wait to try more. The food is budget friendly. Only thing about the food is that when you click on a recipe and mark it as a favourite, it doesn’t add it to a favourites folder like the workouts. But I understand Sweat are working on bringing this in as I had enquired about this.

BEST fitness app for women 🫶
I’ve been using this app since 2020 and it’s still one of my favorite things ever. It’s super user friendly and tailored to women with busy lives. I feel like they made it just for me😂. I’ve tried a lot of fitness apps, but this one is hands-down the best. Everything is intuitive and it makes staying fit so simple. The programs have everything you could ever need - good descriptions and clips of trainers doing each exercise, the option to schedule all your workouts each week and get reminders, the ability to follow a program but still pick workouts from any other program you want, and my favorite - you can sub any and every exercise in your workout (and they give you a lot of sub options). My favorite program is Kayla’s High Intensity (BBG). I like that you can do it in your living room or at a gym. Let me tell you - if you stick with it for 6 months and eat a healthy diet, you will be in the BEST shape if your life!! I started out in pretty bad shape and half a year later I couldn’t believe what I saw in the mirror, and I was just doing my 45 minute workouts ~4 days a week. When I fall off, I always come back because I remember how good I feel when I’m following my program and how rewarding it is. Kayla and team - thank you SO much for this app please never change it it’s perfect and a gift to women everywhere ❤️💪🏽🔥

It’s Amazing - Room For Improvement
Ive been using SWEAT since it was only a PDF document. So, I’ve been around for every iteration of the app. The App is very robust in amount of workouts so you never feel like you’re doing the same thing over and over. I love that they've brought on more trainers and their is such a variety of workout styles to choose from. This app makes it easy and ideal for me to work out at home and still push myself. A few things I’d love to see improve: the recipes recycle every 4 weeks. I'm paying $20/month for the app so it would be nice if they would give new recipes each week. The recipes haven’t changed much in 5-6 years. And, the grocery list only calculates your recipes for the week for a single individual. I’d love to see an option to choose how many adults and children you’d be cooking for and for it to calculate the grocery list accordingly. Also, I'd like a variety of types of music. There are a lot more playlists that are available with the new trainers joining the program, but there still aren’t very many that have a variety of song choices.

App Crashes/Will Not Open Constantly
Whatever updates have happened recently make the app slow to open, if it opens at all, and crash without warning. I have been using the Sweat app for over two years and since the iFit buyout, the app has presented technical issues for me. I looked online for a fix to this issue and it seems to be a known issue with no resolution outside of making sure your phone is updated to the most recent IOS (which mine is). Paying monthly for this subscription, I expect the app to work when I am ready to work out. Additionally, I do not like the automatic substitutions that the app makes based on assumed equipment in the “My equipment” section. Sometimes I work out at home, sometimes at the gym. It varies as I have a little one. This feature seems to only be targeted to people who work out at the same place all the time (which I feel is counter intuitive to the purpose of the application). I LOVE the programs and want to use this app when I am ready to work out because the workout programs are wonderful and the community is very supportive. However, some technical improvements need to be made for the end user experience to be what it used to be. If this issue persists, I will most likely choose a different app for my workouts.
