Best fitness app ever
The best app that continues to get better! They recently added 3-4-5 day split options which has been a game changer for me and my schedule. They have also added several app enhancements (cardio recommendations, warm ups, and the express workout options). The app has gifs to show each exercise and auto-calculates you main lifts weights based on %s. So easy for me, all I have to do I show up to the gym and the workout is all ready to go!
I travel frequently for work and the option to toggle to a 3-day week literally gives me so much peace of mind and doesn’t make me feel like I’m behind on workouts since I can just adjust the plan. This app has far exceeded my expectations over the last year+ and brought me back to the gym after a long hiatus post-2020 lockdowns, so thank you SSF/SBTD team 🥰Show lessvenmoonebigscam
Great workout, poor app function
The workout program is great — I bought the program so I’m not having to create my own anymore. However most of the time I can’t even get into the app and when I can, it’s slow and the interface is difficult to interact with. When I click on the app the app freezes and won’t load. The only way to “fix” this is if I delete the entire app and redownload. When I’m actually able to use the app, most of the time it’s slow and laggy so my workout either does not include substitutions or it takes forever to load the next exercise. The app does not let you see your entire workout as you logging in the data — it will be like a page 1/4 that you click through and it only shows the screen for that specific set of exercises. When I was on a bodybuilding team their interface had the entire workout on one screen making it easier to substitute and do the exercises in a different order if machines are unavailable at that moment, etc…
I had also seen that MegSquats was advertising some sort of pregnancy/post partum workout. I’ve repeatedly tried to find how to access this — as I’m 4 months pregnant and was interested to see if the workouts would be better than the current program of hers that I’m using — but the app is not interactive enough to help you access or even figure it out.Show lessIStevens1220

Hi there! We know the issue of slow loading can be super frustrating! We are currently working with the developers to improve this very issue. As for the pregnancy programming, that can be found in our other app: Plus+1. It has a 7-Day Free Trial, that way you can test it and see if it is a good fit for you! If you have any questions, please reach out to sales@strongstrongfriends.com and they will assist you!The app you didn’t know you needed
I’ve been following megs training for years and many other programs before that. When I joined SBTD before there was an app, I tried all the apps out there for logging and was hesitant to try a new system. But wow, the SBTD team has truly thought of everything a lifter could want and continues to make it better and better. It’s designed with the specificities of lifters in mind with features no other apps have- substitute exercises, history of your previous weights for each exercise, an algorithm that calculates the weights/effort, gifs of every exercise and clear descriptions, AND the option to switch 3-5 days when you want. The team has truly crushed it and so thankful for how much incredible value they keep putting into this. A huge move toward making high quality training like this more approachable and accessible.Show lessAtmlutter

I wanted to give this app/program some time before I left a review. Ive been following SBTD for the last5 months and can honestly say I absolutely love this app! I did the 7 day free trial and decided to stay on since I loved it so much. I’ve tried several fitness apps over the last several years but this one blows me away the most. The ability to track your weights and reps, being able to easily substitute exercises, the form cues and library of exercises - all of it is so superior to anything I’ve tried (sweat, evolve you, playbook, FBK, trainerize, etc). My favorite feature is how the app calculates and tells you what weight to use for the primary lifts and it will tell you when to increase your training max as well. I also love that you can easily see you stat progression on your main lifts too. Very cool to see how much my strength ebbs and flows with the programming. The added bonus of having a warm up and conditioning to the workouts is also really great. A recent feature that was released is the ability to change how many days a week you want/can train - and the app will automatically tweak your scheduled workouts for you so you’re able to still train with the intended focus, intensity and volume with the current program without feeling like you’re missing anything. This is really helpful for those weeks or seasons you just can’t get in the 5 workouts a week.Show lesskimdimlim

YAY! We love our community of fellow lifters! We are happy to hear you are loving the app!Best program ever!
I have trialed so many fitness app but this is the best! I absolutely love the splits, workouts aren’t boring and I look forward to training every session. You know you can push hard and be in and out of the gym in an hour. My strength has improved massively and i like how the app records all your weights and make suggestion on what you should be lifting.Show lessNattaHast
Best powerlifting app
Have been using SBD programming for the last 1-2years & wouldn't use another. Best for powerlifting and hypertrophy training with option to add cardio/warm up function. Also recently updated to be either 3 or 4 day training days per week.Becs~
I love this app I love you Meg
I love how versatile this app is. I can substitute any exercise if I don’t have the equipment while still targeting the prescribed muscle group. You get access to a whole library of movements with written instructions AND videos. When it comes to the actual work out it’s broken up in a way that makes us seem really manageable while definitely pushing your limits or whatever you feel you need to do that day (the weight and reps are ultimately up to you). But what I love most is how the program keeps things interesting. I’m constantly learning new movements with tips on how to execute and perfect them. I’ve had trouble sticking with things before because I get bored of doing the same thing or it feels daunting or like I’m not doing the movement right and just hurting myself. With stronger by the day I feel like I have the support to do it the right way and constantly improve. I’m actually looking forward to my next work out and learning new movements and combinations. I love watching the instructional videos too! Definitely feel like I’m getting stronger by the day and building a loving relationship with exercising as a whole. It’s not just lifting weights it’s so much more! Band work, mobility, body weight work and mental strengthening. I love itShow lessTashana M
Best value for price point
If the app were anymore expensive, I’d give it four stars but at such a fair price, it deserves 5. It can crash occasionally and has some clunky bits and missing features but it’s low price point and decent exercise library make it the most accessible workout/lifting app I’ve seen.
What I love: low cost, programming is solid with core moves and ancillary work, tells me when to increase my training max, has barbell or body weight options that you can switch back and forth between if your find yourself traveling , all movements and substitutions have a written explanation and a video demo
What it needs: to crash less often, to have the option to add a substitute movement that is not in their library, to store your lift history by lift instead of date so I can see the last several lifts instead of the very last lift, the timer can be clunky and doesn’t work if you want to switch into another app to if you need to click ahead to view the next exercise group while you’re resting between sets, to be able to export my data into google sheetsShow lessEspacker
Love this app!
I have tried a few other fitness apps but nothing compares to this one, it has everything I want! I can use it for my home gym so I don’t have to go out to the public. SBTD keeps track of everything so thoroughly. Progressive cycling that aligns with my weight training goals.. compound lifts! If I find I don't like an exercise, I can substitute it for something else that will hit those same muscle groups. Alongside being able to adjust reps and weight, sets and so on, it shows you how to do each and every exercise if you aren't sure on its form. Tracking stats you can log and even will show you graph of your progress. When logging your lifts it will suggest when to adjust your training max! Love love love this app! And if you don’t know about using the bar yet, they have before the barbell for if you’re a beginner starting out.Show lessGwendolyni
Detailed Training App
Not only does this app provide tutorials, videos, pictures, explanations on how to do an exercise; you can log your weights & reps used, track them month to month; you visually see your progress, you can even sub out an exercise if you don’t have the equipment or ability to do the programmed workout - it’s the most interactive, structured app I’ve ever used. I’ve lifted for years & I have never trained the way I do using this app - I used to think I had to burn out every muscle on a specific day (hard bro split) & I’ve made more strength progress using this program than I ever have in such a short amount of time (1 year). The people behind the app are ACTUALLY qualified to train, they ACTUALLY know what they’re doing, & the accessory work ACTUALLY compliments the big lifts. You focus on different cycles of training, thus reaching for different goals. Train SMART, train HARD - this app is amazing.Show lessRhiannoNicole
