Always a good workout
I’ve been using this app for almost 2 months now and I’m loving it. The workouts are as good as you make it. Meaning, you get 7 minutes to complete a round of 4 workouts. You do what you can within the 7 minutes. You can push harder to do more or you can just do what you can. In total there are 4 sets of 7 minute workouts with a pause between each 7 minutes. I feel more in shape and I’m now starting to see results (age/weight/workout type/diet all play a role in results). There are plenty of different workout options for different levels of fitness and desired results. I have been doing the bbg at home (at home workouts require minimal equipment such as dumbbells, jump rope, and small bench). I might switch to another workout type that requires gym equipment. There is also a lot of support within the app from other users for questions, affirmations, and suggestions on many topics. I made an Instagram account and connected with users from the app and they are always positive ( another outlet for support and affirmations). I recommend giving this app a try.Show lessismellripe
Helping me get fit for my wedding dress!
I love love love this app! I have been using this since the fall to get in shape for my wedding and I can’t wait to show off the results in my low back dress! I actually look forward to going to the gym and enjoy every part of my workout (even when it is tough!) Kelsey’s program is awesome because it changes every week so you never get bored. The gym equipment portions are great and accessible for those who don’t feel as confident using them. The flexibility between programs is also perfect for me with a busy schedule. Sometimes if I can’t make it to the gym I will do a Kayla Itsines BBG workout at home, and be sore for about a week after!! I am also really excited that Kelsey has come out with a home workout program as well!
The one thing I would change about the app is on Monday’s it automatically changes what week you are on and you have to manually go back and change it if you weren’t finished with that particular week. I like to finish all the workouts in each week before i move on, but most of the time I only can get to the gym three to four times a week so it is hard to complete all the workouts in that time. If the weeks didn’t automatically update, this app would be perfect!Show lessvslater26

Fantastic! We’re so happy to hear that. Stay tuned for some new updates coming to your workout experience!Could be a lot better
I really wanted to like this app but I find a lot of problems with it that are more frustrating than helpful.
For one, you have to have the app open to use the timers, ie. doing the warm up or a cardio workout. I prefer to watch a show or videos when I do cardio so it was kind of annoying that I couldn’t. Also, the app crashed several times when I was in the middle of a weight training workout and when I re-opened the app all my progress was lost so the only option was to re-start the workout, again, super annoying when you’re more than halfway through the workout! Also, there is no option to swap out an exercise for something low impact. I have an injury that prevents me from doing any type of jumping and I had to research alternatives for jumping jacks, mountain climbers, etc. on my own because the app didn’t provide any guidance. And my least favorite thing about the app is that you can’t skip a specific set and come back to it. My gym is relatively busy with limited weight equipment and there were times where I had to wait almost 20 min to do a set because the app wouldn’t let me skip and come back to it.
Overall, I like the concept of this app and enjoyed the weekly calendar and the exercises, but I found a lot of flaws that I couldn’t look past and annoyed me, which made using it less enjoyable. Maybe if the app was free or less than $20/month I would have stuck with it!Show lessmeg4eva

We really appreciate your feedback. Ensuring Background App Refresh is enabled for Sweat, and any other apps you open mid-workout, will allow you to watch your favourite show at the same time! The most common cause of a crash during a workout is a loss of network connection. In order to resolve this, please ensure you have Cellular Data enabled specifically for the Sweat app, which can be located alongside the Background App Refresh setting on your device. Stay tuned for some new exciting updates to your workout experience, which are coming soon!Can’t track past workouts correctly
I’d like to be able to add past workouts of any week on the exact day/time of my workout to track what I’ve done. Right now I can only mark my Resistance Trainings as completed and if I miss tracking one day, I have to go back to the previous week and lose any progress on the exact date/time. It shouldn’t be so complicated. I’ve been using more my Fitbit app that has this feature. I can track any type of workout any day at the exact timeframe. It works flawlessly and it’s easy to use. I’ve ended up using Sweat only for the Resistance Trainings, but I also have the PDFs so I’m not seeing a lot of added value in the app.
The only added value I can see is the menu/food section which is really good. The down part is that I do meal prep once for the entire week as I don’t have time to cook separate meals every day, so I end up not using it a lot either.
I also find the “share” pop-ups annoying after every workout. I’m working out for me (for my health, strength and benefit) so I don’t understand why there’s so much sharable content within the app. It’s a fitness app, not a social network. I get that there’s a “community” factor in there but maybe the pop-ups stay in that tab for the people who need that sort of motivation/engagement.Show lesspennylane_10
Just be consistent and the reward will come sooner than you think!
After having my second baby my weight has been a big concern for me, and cardio was very hard because I was breast feeding and I don’t really like running. So, I found sweat. This app was my life change. I got back in shape before my maternity leave expired (with a diet of course). When I got back to work I kind of gave up on working out and I felt guilty about it. But luckily sweat promoted the 12 week challenge and I knew this is the time for me to get back on track so now I don’t miss my workouts and instead of running on a treadmill when the weather is nice I take looong walks with my kids. I don’t do a lot of cardio but I do the daily workouts. I definitely recommend this app, but if you think you won’t be consistent don’t even think starting because you’ll blame the program not yourself. I believe that any workout is good if you’re consistent. If working out is new for you and you don’t know where to start I think sweat is a good start. I have my sisters and my friend on sweat now and we make sure to post our work outs and keep accountable each other, which is fun:) if you want to feel better and look better, then this is for you, too ✊🏋️♀️🏆Show lessDFGN 1803
Could use a few small tweaks
First let me say, I LOVE this app! It is truly life-changing and so inspiring being connected to so many women on similar fitness journeys!! If you’re thinking about trying it out, DO IT!!!
However I do have a couple suggestions I think could improve the app. One is that during certain workouts within circuits that are timed, my phone only vibrates to indicate the time (ex. 30 seconds) is up. But when I’m sweating and breathing hard, I don’t really pay attention to this and have to keep my phone on me or in my hand to know the time is up. It would be nice to have a chime or something go off, similar to the buzzer that sounds when you finish a full circuit in a workout. The other suggestion I have is to add more customizable amounts of how much is water consumed during the day. For instance, I have a 20 oz. cup I sometimes use for my tea, which I add to my water consumption, being that it is unsweetened with nothing else added. But I only have the option of 16 or 24 oz., neither of which is correct.
These additions would be helpful in the app, however I cannot complain because I think Sweat is incredible and will continue to use it regardless.Show lessamandamandyg
Changed my life
Awesome app; WELL worth the money. Not an easy fix to fitness; you have to work for it, but Sweat does such a great job of holding you accountable. You can track your progress, chat with the community, change programs in the middle, they offer a meal plan. The workouts take an average of 30 minutes; it’s not a huge chunk out of your day. I work out at home during nap time while my kids are asleep. If you need to you can do a quick workout or choose one from another program; you’re not shackled to ONE Monday workout, a Tuesday workout, a Wednesday workout, and so on. You can change it up if you get bored or if your circumstances change. I bought it four months after baby #2, and my life completely changed. I don’t have a gym membership and can do my workouts at home. But should I get a gym membership, they have programs that require equipment. If I miss nap time and have to work out while my kids are awake, I can opt for cardio so I can jog behind the stroller or yoga so my two-year-old can workout with me. It can be strict cut and dry or flexible, whatever you need it to be.
SO worth the money; you won’t look back.Show lesssoDovahkiin
Inspiring!
I’ve managed a gym, I’ve been a trainer, I thought I had it down. But this app have SO MUCH variety for whatever type of work out you are feeling that day. If you like structure: stick to a program and it really helps you keep track of your progress and motivate you. If you like variety and get bored easy: you can bounce between yoga, powerlifting style training, HIIT training for days with less time, full body workouts and specific area driven workouts!
The coaching in each session makes it timely and easy to follow with explanations on each exercise, and a good playlist to follow.
You can track your water intake and your food map is planned out for you! The ONLY change I would make is that you can track what you actually eat vs the meal plan set out for your program.
The community and trainers are amazing on social media to keep you motivated, encourage you on your good days, yet convince you to go in and try your best on your bad days! The congratulations with confetti at the end really are satisfying! And when you’re sore, there are recovery days and stretches they guide you through to help out!
Thank you Kayla, from your first book guide years ago to the app you and Tobi made,I feel inspired and flexible in my fitness routine.Show lesskdiddy74024
Love this app!!
I absolutely love this stupid app. It’s got me excited to go to the gym and setting up a schedule and I’ve never had that before. I don’t use the meal planner because I’m a poor college student, so I don’t do much grocery shopping, but the option is there and I really like the meals it offers.
There are a few things I would change, but the pros so outweigh the cons that they’re easy to pass over when deciding between 4 or 5 stars. One, I wish that it gave you the option to change the default warm up setting. Sometimes I forget to change it and it jumps right into the workout and I don’t want that. Also, as someone else said, the mile tracker is wayyy off, but I’m not super concerned with miles right now, I’m just trying to build a cardio base, and I could always just use another app. Lastly, all the tapping is annoying at times, but so sometimes I just don’t do it. I just remember what exercise is coming next and I do it. For the supersets I just use the clock at the top to count my 30 seconds.
Overall, such a good app. I can’t keep the subscription going because, like I said, poor college student and I’m trying to afford a trip to Japan this summer, but holy cow I’m still debating paying for it. I really do love this app. The workout counter keeps me motivated and on track and the workouts are so much fun. I’m really seeing changes and I’m really happy. Thanks Sweat Team!Show lesspemager

Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate your support, and love having you as a member of the Sweat community! Make sure you stay tuned to our newsletters to be the first to know about any future offers.Wonderful app!
This app is hands down the best fitness app! I have been training for several years and have used and tried so many different apps/guides and this one offers so much! While bbg itself is enjoyable, I truly enjoy heavy weightlifting and was thrilled when they added more weight based guides and trainers on the app. The nutrition portion is helpful too; they provide step by step on the recipes and even a grocery list that you can tap to cross off the items you have or buy while shopping. There is so much detail in every last aspect in the app that it is honestly impossible to not know what you are doing while using it. Each exercise has explanations, modified for easy or more difficult versions, a voice guide, and an animation that goes with it to assist you with learning the exercises. The online community in the app is great too! Everyone is very supportive and there is so many posts and tips to read on the forum. Kayla also offers challenges in the app as well as includes stretching/from rolling to help with post exercise soreness. I would highly recommend this app to anyone!Show lessSoleilMarcella
