It’s a good app

The functionality is solid. Unfortunately just none of the programs were what I was looking for. I wish I would have had a chance to check out the hybrid bodybuilding program before I subscribed - the workouts were very long, the volume was too high for me (6 workouts in 10 days, I was looking for 4/week which is pretty standard), and a lot of the movements would have been very hard to pull off in a busy commercial gym. Wasn’t my cup of tea but I think it’s a cool app.

Sorry to hear the program wasn't what you were after! We do offer a 100% no obligation free trial to all programs, along with swaps for all exercises to suit busy, commercial gyms. If you need any help, email us at support@ganbarumethod.com, or directly in our app community and our coaches can help you out! 🫡

Hybrid 2.0

The app is a little overwhelming at first with all the programs, but i literally sent the last 24 hrs watching the hybrid 2.0 exercise w/tips and understanding why we are doing some movement. And my mind is blown in a very positive way.

Awesome content, awful app design

I’m leaving this critical review to let the app team know that for any product company to be successful long term, you need to get the basics down so you’re not having people like me inundate your customer service for something as basic as resetting a password (that should still work with in the first place). I genuinely don’t need any more new features or updates to content when I can’t even access the app reliably. When major updates are pushed it seems to always sign me out and it’s always a gamble if my saved password will still even work when this happens. The only explanation is that my password is being deleted or changed without my consent.

Otherwise, the content and programs Ganbaru offers is incredible. I do recommend them and would happy to update this review when I can reliably access the content I pay for.

Looks nice but some serious flaws

Bought a program through the app that I was excited about, but then sent eight random workouts without any explanation of how to run them. Reached out for help three different ways over a handful of the days and no one got back to me at all until I got a short message saying I should “ask the community”, so basically post on social media to ask. App looks great but no support. Feels like a waste.

Sorry you've hade this experience! If you email us directly at support@ganbarumethod.com and CC eugene@ganbarumethod.com including the details of this review I can get it investigated thoroughly to see what went wrong. As for "ask the community" - We do provide our in-app community to answer any questions relating to the programs and to offer personalized advice/form checks.  This community allows our expert coaches to give you personal feedback based on your situation within 24 hours, while our support team tends to handle bug/tech related requests.  This is why the support team may have suggested you ask within the community. However, you do also have a direct email contact to our head coach (It'll be in your emails from sign up) if you'd prefer to remain anonymous to our members - Eugene

Glitchy doesn’t work well, limited customization

I’ve been using this app for a while, and I’m seriously disappointed. The features are glitchy, the tracking is inaccurate, and it crashes constantly. It’s almost impossible to follow any workout plan without interruptions, and syncing with other devices is a nightmare. For something that’s supposed to make my fitness routine easier, it’s done nothing but cause frustration. Definitely not worth the download.

Best Workout App Ever

Ganbaru is filled with so much choice in any style of training that you are after. It’s also even further customisable to add extra exercises in each days workout.
It keeps you motivated to improve your training and create discipline in your workouts.
The best!

Love to hear it, and really appreciate it. We've invested a lot this past year in making this as customisable and user-friendly as possible. It's so rewarding to hear that it's so well received by you! - Eugene

SO glad to hear that! Thank you very much for your review - Eugene

Worth every cent

This app is fantastic! It has so many different exercise programs, nutrition info and other educational content. It’s great for beginner gym goers and experienced lifters/athletes.
Only have good this to say about it

Subscription is quoted in USD not Canadian $

The subscription showing is actually in USD not Canadian Dollars. So you need to convert to CAD for to make sure your comfortable with the actual price. I don’t understand why is it showing in USD without indicating this. Quite misleading. The app is great though! A true game changer! Would have given it 5 stars if it was not for that!

QOL significantly needs improvement.

been using for a year. the workout selection is great. the biggest gripe is QOL as you navigate the app.

Lots of errors and bugs, simple stuff like sorting exercises by alphabetical order isn't a thing, there a several duplicates of exercises, it's impossible to an add exercise that doesn't exist in the catalog mid workout, can't rearrange order of exercise in a workout, timer function is broken where you can't edit time.
