My abs have never looked so good!
I love this app! If you’re looking for a great fitness app with a variety of workouts, this is for you. From a technical standpoint, the app is reliable and works well. In the 2 years I’ve had it, I can only remember one glitch where the app froze. Since it only happened once, I am inclined to think it was my phone not the app.
I haven’t followed Kayla’s exact plan but I have tried to get at least 2 BBG Stronger workouts in per week plus a couple of 3 mile runs because that’s what I enjoy. I feel stronger and look firmer all over. I can also run faster than ever. I also love that I can switch programs or choose a workout from a different program or different week whenever I choose. This is great because I travel for work and sometimes need to get in a quick , equipment free workout.
When I started this program with BBG Stronger Beginner, I was weak due to taking a year off strength training after my son was born. I couldn’t do push ups or burpees. Now, I can do all the push up/burpees/jump combos Kayla put together for the more advanced workouts that you work up to...and oddly, I actually enjoy them! This program has truly made me love working out again!Show lesssarah in phl
Love it.. but needs a couple tweaks
Love love love this. I’m doing the PWR at home and it’s great! I’m in my mid 30’s, haven’t worked out since my wedding ten years ago and definitely not in shape at all. I have 3lb dumbbells and a set of bands and i feel that’s enough to get an excellent workout. I’m sore most days but in a good way!! I’m definitely modifying moves to make them easier so I feel like i could keep this app for a LONG time and still feel really challenged. And most workouts are a TRUE 25-35 minutes, warmup to cool down, so awesome for a busy mom like me. I also love that there aren’t 700 billion programs. Just enough for variety but not feel overwhelming. And they don’t feel gimmicky. The tutorial videos are amazing because I can see a quick preview right before the circuit and I love that it shows it throughout so I can keep my form. My FAVORITE part is the ability to add my own playlist. It’s so fun to make my own Hype playlist of songs I love and I don’t have to compete with the crappy track from the a program. I would love to see the app for Apple TV, though. I hate having to air play it. Also, the ability to record workouts that you might have missed. Sorry, solid Type A here.Show lessbeswick.jessica
Great app, great price
I’ve been using the Sweat app for about a year. It works so well for me and I recommend it to everyone I know! There’s something for everyone here. Beginners, gym rats, and everyone in between. I don’t use the meal plan feature; I only use it for working out.
Most of the workouts can be completed in 40 minutes. If you don’t have that much time or you’re not feeling up to a full workout, you can use one of the MANY “quick workouts” that are 20 minutes are less. There are “workouts” for stretching, too, which is so nice if you’re feeling sore or just need a refresher.
One of my favorite things is that you can use the app on your phone, laptop, tablet, and you can even cast it onto your TV with the Apple TV! Also, you can schedule your workouts and sync it with your calendar.
I will say this: I don’t like doing yoga with this app. I tried the 3 yoga “workouts” and it just wasn’t great. The instructor seems good and I definitely got a good workout, but I just don’t think this is the right platform for yoga. The countdowns always end with loud beeping which brings you out of that zen moment.
I highly recommend the Sweat app and I’ll definitely be renewing my subscription!Show lessSammiD.
Love This App
I love this app because like allot of people, I’m really bad motivating myself while I’m in the gym. Two factors; I like my own specific Dj sets to listen to which I’m so glad I can still listen while using the app, but I also prefer someone telling me what to do and timing me or giving me rep count so I don’t have to look at a freaking notebook or scroll through my phone to find some article with a workout plan thus just wasting time and spending even more time in the gym. This app just makes the process easy to understand and keep motivation through out as it literally walks you through step by step. So if you’re worried about your phone being on the entire time then just keep in mind you might need this app for the motivation, time management, and seeing the movement itself for proper form (as not everyone knows what every exercise looks like. For example did you know a proper squat needs you to focus on pushing your knees out? I see so many people letting their knees buckle in and then wonder why their back and rest of the body hurts from misalignment.) So just shut your phone off if you’re doing cardio, you can always go back and mark it as complete.
The food options are amazing and so easy to make, no excuses on “I don’t have time” ! I’m just overall really impressed with this app, thank you so much !Show lessspookymarena
Absolutely amazing app
I love this app so much! This is an amazing way to work out. I started working out with Sweat since end of February. It’s very smart and very convenient and you can work out at the gym or at home. There are tons of different programs you can choose within Sweat that suits your current condition and goals. I never liked working out but with this app I became obsessed. What I love the most about it is the instructors that I can find on Instagram. The connection makes me feel that there is a real person who is leading me through this. When I said it’s convenient, I meant it 100%. So first of all, if you work out at the gym, they built it the way you can find everything you need for each activation in one place. You watch a short video for each exercise which is showing you how to do it. You don’t have to run from one machine to another with no break in between. They thought of the adequate breaks in between each activation set. Also I love the built-in timers within timers. I am telling you, it makes it so much easier to do it right. I tried a couple more apps before and my experience wasn’t as efficient, pleasant and great as with Sweat. Amazing work, guys! Honestly, my life has changed since this app. Since I am hooked to consistently working out now, I became more fit, confident, healthier, and just more positive!!! Thank you!Show lessnaggiemishka
changing my life
This app motivated me to start working out again after 2 years of inactivity. The workouts are amazing, they have great beginner options, but I went into it at an intermediate level and they're killer! They are tough, but I've found that my strength and confidence has grown tremendously from doing BBG and trying several workouts from the other programs, which is another thing I love about this app. The variety in programs make it suitable for any kind of workout goal. I can see how the intensity and difficulty of BBG might be unmotivating for some though, so it's great that Kayla has recently added more beginner weeks! he community tab is filled with supportive women! The only thing I've never used and probably will never use is the meal plan because there is just a way too many different ingredients and meals (which might be a good thing for other people, but for a broke student, I'm not really looking to buy a full-sized product or unit of produce to use only 1/2 a slice of and then not use for any other meals in the week.) The app has some bugs sometimes but Sweat team replies fast and takes suggestions! My only wish is that it was better compatible with the Apple Watch which is one of the reasons I got the app in the first place, because I saw it could pair to my watch.Show lessHxnxlei
Developer Response
Fantastic! We’re so thrilled to hear you have found what you were looking for in the Sweat app 💪🏼We would love to hear from you via our Suggestions page on the community forum: https://forum.sweat.com so we can continue to improve your experience. 🙂Post rehab game changer - love this app!!!
I had a massive knee surgery about a year ago (tibial osteotomy and ACL reconstruction). It’s been a long road to recovery and I was struggling to imagine heading back to the cross fit gym or really any gym. After physical therapy wound down I was left aimless and a little tentative about every movement. I did a little research one sat morning and downloaded the SWEAT app and haven’t looked back. I really enjoy the PWR track with Kelsey Wells - it feel a bit like being at cross fit but is faster paced and WAY more approachable since I hadn’t been able to lift in almost a year. I feel like my body is coming back to me and this app has given me the confidence to get back in the gym on a daily basis. I love the direction and pace.
I would love it if you could look at the next activity during the “break” every time there is a break - even when I’m in a set I’d love to review the movement while waiting the 30 seconds. Otherwise, I think the whole thing is a huge success. Thanks for keeping it affordable and making my transition back into the gym a positive experience!!Show lessoakcitykate
Great workouts, app quality needs attention
One the one hand I absolutely LOVE the workouts in the sweat app. The PWR program is incredible and the variety of other kinds of workouts when you can’t get to the gym or don’t have a lot of time is great. I never have to think about what to do at the gym, I just open the app.
On the other hand, as a software developer myself, I am constantly baffled by the number of glaring bugs in every single update on the phone app as well as the watch app. I don’t think I have ever gone through a workout without encountering an obvious bug...just an an example in the latest release, I listen to google music and every time the timer stops and the next exercise starts the music pauses and I have to hit play again. On the watch app right now, the timer display stops updating if I look at it! So it will get stuck on a number and I have to keep track myself. Then when I hit next, the timer for the next exercise has already been counting down so I have to restart the section. I wonder if what seems to be the lack of concern over app quality is just because enough people keep paying for it that they prioritize new features over bug fixes.... I’m going to keep paying for it so I guess you could argue why does this feedback even matter?Show lessMcmanuea
free trial isn’t free
Dispute canceling in under 7 days I just discovered that I have been billed even though I rec’d confirmation in the app that I had cancelled the FREE trial - I even did it before because I realized I wasn’t able to find the time and couldn’t justify the monthly cost. I work. I have kids. I know with completely certainty that I canceled and got the app even telling me that it acknowledged my “free” trial was canceled - now I just discovered they have been charging me. Not only are they robbing budget I don’t have they are robbing me of time tracking down the refund. If you were proper you would make it a true FREE trail and ask for credit card info only after the trail period if someone willingly opts in and don’t cheat and trick!!!!! The customer service reply is that they can’t issue a refund because of the sneaky way they require you to opt in for auto renewal through the App Store. I canceled in app and it gave me with completely certianty the sense I had been canceled and wouldn’t be charged - after discovering I was charged they say they can’t refund. What they can do is issue a free trial and then have you opt in to pay - this is a total scam and they are thieves that created a very sneaky and unethical free trial. I can’t believe not only have they charged me I have to keep pushing for a refund. Customer service isn’t acknowledging how sneaky they are. I have 3 small children. They are robbing this budget from them.Show lessVEBN
Disappointed
This app is extremely frustrating and not worth the money when you can easily go to Instagram and find a workout routine. I love that I can see the demonstration of the workout. However, it jumps immediately to the next workout with the clock still ticking meaning I’m wasting time watching what I need to do and trying to grab equipment suddenly. You can pause it, but how is that helpful to cover up the workout I’m trying to watch before completing it myself? I’m sure it’s great when you’ve been doing the program for awhile and know the routine. Also, I’d assume that while it has a trainer talking and a timer going it would notify me when 30 seconds is up on a certain workout like a plank? When I look to start the cool down routine, it just starts the workout over! The workouts are hard for beginners even though it’s ‘beginner’. I have terrible knees and I look for alternatives when it comes to knee ups, so I waste more time on the clock trying to find something else to do. “Alternative” just suggests something more challenging. You definitely have to figure out on your own how to guide yourself through the app as well as the workouts. The community board is useless trying to search for specific questions. As for the ‘progress’ not everyone cares to take pictures, it’d be great to track weight progress and measurements w/o requiring a photo.Show lessLindsBe
