Postpartum Amazingness
I love how empowered I'm feeling knowing that the precious time I have working on me is making a difference with my strength for my babies.
Best app for at home workouts and gym
I’ve paid for this app for several years now. It’s very affordable and has so many different programs to choose from. Whether you’re a beginner starting at home with little to no equipment or more advanced at a gym- there is a program you’ll find. It also had a fantastic online community and several challenges throughout the year to push you to get your workouts in!

Great workouts. App not so much.
Workouts are amazing. I typically start my week with lower body. Started up again on Sunday and have been sore all week (today is Wednesday).
App is glitchy. Freezes, logs off, and I have to fast forward my workout. It’s slow to catch up. I have updated the app regularly or as my phone prompts me to. Casting is such a HUGE pain. It’s the most annoying thing ever. One day it works, and then it won’t work for another few weeks. Says I need to make sure it’s connected to wifi - I stream everything so my tv is ALWAYS connected to my WiFi. Local network is ALWAYS connected as well. Having to workout off my phone is annoying and frustrating. This phone only app thing needs to go already. I have other workout programs that I use and I am always able to mirror/cast to my tv without issue.

Shady Review Practices
Beware of trusting the reviews. The app forces you to answer whether you’re liking the app or not, and auto directs those who say “yes” to write a review and those who say “no” are directed to write the company an email. Meaning they preselect only the positive respondents to write reviews. Very sketchy! But I actually like the app but hate it when companies engage in this type of sketchy behaviour. It’s a turn off.

Buggy app and inaccurate timings
Timer will stop if you move to another screen (eg to change music)
Progress is not accurately saved
Inaccurate estimation for workout duration

Laggy
I usually love the app but lately I’ve found it unusable. The animations lag out during workouts and whenever I leave the app to change music etc my workout will end and I’ll have to resume it from the previous set. I also find that sometimes I’ll open the app and it won’t load at all, it will just stay frozen on the initial start up screen showing the heart logo. Yes I know that these problems are somewhat manageable but for the amount I’m paying I expect the app to run smoothly. My phone and app are up to date and my phone is only two years old, this shouldn’t be happening.

Good, but a small change would make it perfect
I’ve used various programs on Fit Body for a years. I love that they have options for home and gym, a macro calculator, recipes, etc. I’m currently doing Brittany Lupton’s gym program and it’s my favorite so far. I would definitely like to see another program like hers after I finish the current one. My main problem with the app is that I go to a small gym and sometimes the equipment for the current workout isn’t available if the gym is busy. I understand they want us to do each workout in a certain order, but I don’t want to be standing around waiting for equipment to open up when I can just go onto the next exercise. I’ve had to resort to taking screenshots of each exercise before I start the workout so I can see what’s next. It isn’t a big deal, but it’s annoying to have to spend time doing this and then erasing each screenshot when I’m done. I’ve used another app called FitBod that allows you to change the order of the exercises in the event equipment for the next exercise isn’t available. This is exactly what Fit Body needs to do for those of us doing gym programs. Also, I really like that they have recommended weight ranges for each exercise, but it would be nice to be able to track our weight progression as we’re using the app and working on each set. That way we can see how we’re progressing throughout each program. Those two changes would change my rating to 5 stars.

Prenatal program
I had considered getting this app for about a year and when I got pregnant over the summer I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the app. I followed the Glow and Grow program and let me say. It is incredible. I have always been in pretty good shape and workout regularly so I was worried the program wouldn’t be challenging enough for me, but it’s great. You can choose different difficulty levels. The prenatal program modifies workouts with each trimester. I am now about a week postpartum and am recovery from labor quickly and am easily getting my strength and mobility back which I know was from doing this program for the last 36 weeks. Thanks, Anna and team! You’ve got me hooked and can’t wait to get the all clear from my doctor to start the postpartum program!

Good app but needs some fixes
I lobe the workouts and certain functions of the app such as it’s a one stop shop for nutrition and exercise but …barcode scanning takes too long and is hit and miss compared to Myfitness pal and Lifesum. Building recipes, I still can’t figure it out in this app. I still have to use Lifesum for meal tracking as it is harder to do with this app. To improve the app they need to perfect the. arcade function and allow for recipe building. I like to make recipes in large batches and enter the entire recipe weight in grams to calculate macros for the entire batch. unfortunately this app does not have that functionality.

Great App with brilliant exercise programs to follow
I haven’t use many exercising app but since I start using this I have been sticking to it daily and think it was a very well designed app. Exercises are very easy to follow and I like how it allows me to pause and resume. Overall I would recommend to anyone looking for a simple and easy to use app for their exercising routine. One thing I wish it could improve on is to allow me to customise programs I want to plan for the week. At the moment I have to go to main page to find different programs I want to do, so it requires a lot of time just clicking through pages. It would be perfect if I can stars all programs and select from a customised list.
