Leave a Review Burn by Cara Loren
My absolute favorite workout app!
I have had The Burn App by Cara Loren for a little over a year and it has truly been a game changer for me. I started my fitness journey about 6 months prior to downloading Burn, and I had been stuck at a plateau, but that changed when I joined! I finally started to see and feel real results, and have continued to see results ever since. I think I’ve tried all of the in home programs (except the pregnancy one) and I can’t even pick a favorite! I also love doing the challenges they run-I love having the extra motivation to push harder. I have not only lost body fat and inches all over, but I have gotten much stronger and significantly improved my form. The video loops of each exercise are SO helpful, and I love that Burn allows you to track weight and reps and watch the levels go up! I feel so much stronger and more capable than I think I ever have in my life- and I have so much energy, which all adds up to being a better mama for my kids. That’s all I ever wanted when I began this journey, to be a healthier mom for my kids, and Burn has definitely given me that and more!Show lessApp is okay but workouts are GOLD!
So as someone looking to feel better in my body, I love this app! I’ve worked out on and off for years but never felt like I knew what I was doing and only ever saw minimal results. These workouts have quite literally, changed the game for me. Only a few weeks in and I can see noticeable changes in my body which helps to keep me motivated!
However, the app side does leave some to be desired. I wish I could see a monthly and daily overview of my workouts, showing level changes, tracking progress, etc. I’ll keep using but not bc the app is great, but because the workouts are!Show lessDeveloper Response
Hey Jams08! Thank you for leaving us a review! We're thrilled you're enjoying the workouts and seeing incredible results. We appreciate your feedback on the app too. Just a quick tip: you can see your level changes and progress for each exercise within the app. Look to the right of your circuit number for the history icon. Tap it to view all your weight, rep, and level history by date! Also, great suggestion on a workout overview. We have an update coming soon that will let you preview each workout and program. Stay tuned for the launch date!Good, not Great
I feel like they should have someone do an audit of the programs. There’s a lot of missing things / clarifications needed on some exercises (ie. Reps total or reps / side. Sometimes clear sometimes not, sometimes altogether missing reps). It glitches for me during the cooldown exercise EVERY TIME. I have to close the app and reopen and then my time has to be restarted.
The timer for exercises is inconsistent. Do a countdown not a stopwatch in my opinion.
It would be extremely helpful to be able to see the exercises for the day before hand. Know if I need to get heavier weights, have a bench even if it isn’t listed at the beginning of the workout etc. also, an approximate time to complete. I have daycare at the gym for a certain amount of time or I’m trying to schedule it in with kids and work and sometimes the workout takes me 30-45 minutes to complete and other times upwards of two hours. Just want to know what I’m getting myself into. Also, I had lower back issues postpartum and would have to modify some exercises as I went which ate into my workout time so seeing them beforehand would help to set yourself up prior.
Also, I wish it told you somewhere what week you are on of the specific program you’re in. I have a horrible memory and have no indication of where I’m at weeks wise in the program. Based on reviews I’ll probably try out the SWEAT app when I’m done with this program.Show lessDeveloper Response
Hi MissCosmopolitan, We are so grateful that you took the time to leave an honest review with us to help us improve and become better. We appreciate all the different points you made to help improve the app and we really took these to heart. We've done a complete audit on our workout programs to help make the app more clear on what is expected. We've fixed the glitches and improved the interface. We now have an option to see the exercises before starting the workout and seeing the weights you'll need for each exercise. We hope if you are still an active member you've updated your app in the App Store to our latest version. If you have not, then please reach out to info@getburnapp.com and share this response so we can make this right for you.
