Timer
I wish there was a timer that would go off to let you know your rest is over!

Fun & Varied Workout Schedule, Lacks Fluid User Experience
First off, I want to say that I just finished the free 2-week trial and decided to pay for the 1-year subscription and this is why. Overall, I enjoyed the varied workouts. I was tired of my own routine and loved the idea that a routine was being made for me. I opted for this app instead of just a PDF because I liked that it included timers and logs my workouts. I also did a quick scan and it seems that even within the same program on a different week (I’m on Hourglass) that there will be some exercises that are swapped out which I like because it keeps it interesting but consistent enough that the first 3 weeks so far are the same.
Although I enjoy the workouts, but only issue is with the app itself. This app is supposed to be used during your entire workout and there are lots of areas for improvements:
1. Provide alternative exercises.
I find that it is inconvenient when my gym doesn’t have that exact machine needed or it is being used and it is my last workout that I can’t use it. So I google alternative workouts myself but it would be nicer to have a button where it opens up a list of alternative workouts that hits the same muscle group.
2. Show recent rep/weight for workouts.
So when you log your workout, it always shows a “-“ which makes sense if you never done it before. But after the first time, it would be sensible to display what you did the most recent time.
Ex:
Hip Thrusts:
(12) x (50)
(12) x (50)
(12) x (70)
That would be 1) convenient to remember how many reps and at what weight you did them last time and 2) help you modify if needed instead of guessing
3. Allow autofill for repeats when you add information for rep/weight
It would be nice if the app allowed you just hit “+” for the same rep+weight you did the last set instead of inputting it one by one each and every time
4. Automatic pop up to log rep+weight
Once you finish a set, the log for rep+weight would automatically pop up
5. More fluid counts/timers.
5a) once you finish one workout and click “next workout,” if it is timed, the timer will automatically starts and more likely than not you’re not ready. It would probably make more sense to have a transitional period when you end one workout for you to hit “next” and just get a preview of what the next one is, head over to the next machine and then to hit “ready” whenever you’re ready to start
5b) After starting a workout, it would be nice if it had a 3-second countdown to start and sync with Sophie’s video to you can do with the tempo. Then once it’s done, it should automatically start the rest timer and when it gets close to starting the next set, it should have a “get ready” by the last 10 seconds of the resting timer and then countdown to start again. This would be nice as it would feel like we have a trainer with us, which is the app. This small but super engaging feature would create a more interactive experience for the user.
Overall, I only paid for the app because I need something more engaging than a PDF of her workouts. But still, I think there needs to be lots of room for improvements for the user experience of this app especially because she made this into a subscription instead of a one-time payment. I hope to see these improvements to see if it would be worth for me to resubscribe for the following year or not.Frustratedchocolate
