Keeping it bc I think the results are coming in but the app has a lot of glitches and it messes up days and your workout…
I love the trainer and I follow her you tube and instagram but the app needs some help.
1. If you click out of the app it closes out of your workout and doesn’t allow you to get back into it.. I just lost my whole workout because I had to answer a text In the middle of it. So frustrating.
2. You have to manually add every set, no way to easily drag and drop or repeat what you did previously.
3. No timers for sets that have length attached.
4. The biggest complaint is that I cannot adjust the days and schedule for which I want to do a workout.. I don’t follow a typical Monday to Sunday schedule and I need to be able adjust my schedule accordingly. The app doesn’t allow you to assign each workout to the day of the week that you want..
5. There is no way to swap out a workout if your gym doesn’t have that machine or you need to make a modification.
Let me start by saying that I used the app during the free 14 day trial and while I enjoyed the workouts the app is extremely glitchy.
The main problem for me is the calendar which a lot of other reviews complain about as well.
As long as you don’t make any changes to it, it’s fine but the moment you do, it loses its mind and the days no longer match.
I hope that in the the future there is a way to save recipes and they need to add some sort of alert when your rest time is a few seconds from ending
I just can’t justify paying 100 dollars for an app that has so many glitches and seems like it was released before it was completed.
I hate that most of the reviews were right about it.
Anyway, I hope that some major changes are made to it and maybe I will try it again.

The workout plans are thorough and very easy to follow even for beginners. Sophie really adds so much attention to posture and pace which sets you up for success!
I would love to see warm-ups and cooldowns associated with the plan, especially for those new to GB.

Your feedback is invaluable in our continuous effort to improve and provide the best possible fitness solutions.I love the workouts and have been seeing results with following the program, but my issue is that it seems like with each new update the app gets glitchier and glitchier. The dates don’t match up to what I have set for my workouts, the preview workouts are completely different from what’s shown in the live workout and the app constantly either completes a set, skips a set or completes a workout all on its own when I’m going through my workout. Gotten into the habit of just screenshotting the workout and keeping track in my notes, but kinda defeats the purpose of having/paying for the app. Hoping these bugs and issues get resolved soon because I’m on week 7 and want to restart the 12 weeks once i complete the first round. Also would be nice to add a feature where the program can be paused. Took a week off due to thanksgiving and family coming over, but didn’t have an option to pause and come back the following week. The app has a lot of potential and holding on for now.
The app keeps defaulting to some random workout schedule that isn’t mine. I also wish it included some kind of tracking system so I could input the weight used and reps for progressive overload. It’s a pretty expensive app and I’m just not sure how it’s worth it with so few features. I would rather just adhere to a workout program I pay for once and fitness recipes that are typically free of charge. I wanted to like this app but I’m just confused as to what I’m paying for exactly.
Developer Response
Thank you for sharing your concerns about the workout schedule and the features of our app. We're pleased to announce that with our latest update, we have fixed the planner issue. Now, the app should accurately reflect your personalized workout schedule.
Additionally, we've introduced a weight log feature to assist with tracking your progress, including weights used and reps, which is essential for progressive overload.
Regarding the cost of the app, we understand your concerns. The subscription fee supports the continuous development of high-quality content, including expertly designed workout programs and fitness recipes. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive fitness solution with regular updates, and personalized features, which distinguishes our app from one-time purchase programs or free content.
We believe in delivering value that justifies the investment in our app, and we're constantly working to enhance the features and overall user experience. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, please contact us at support@gainsbybrains.com. We're here to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the benefits and features our app offers.The workout programs are great as always! I’m really excited that we will be able to log our weight on workouts now. There are some bugs with the app but Sophie’s team is really on top of everything. I’ve had to email for help to get access to the programs and her team was incredibly helpful and responsive.
If I could make a recommendation in addition to the changes they just made, I would ask for descriptions of movements/how to do them properly on each exercise.
Overall, it’s a great app and I’ve already seen improvements in my body from the workouts. Sophie’s team listens and responds well to feedback and I can’t wait for when this app reaches its full potential!
There are a lot of things need work on. 1. I like the idea of quotes in the title of different workouts, but it is very confusing. I’m expecting to know what this workout is by reading the title, but now I have to click and go in to see. 2. You cannot delete a sequence of workouts from the planner, which makes you edit all weeks manually. 3. Workouts are very redundant. I tried beginner and intermediate, every week the same workouts repeat almost three times. 4. You cannot edit your level unless you do the survey question again. 5. When you are exercising, you have to click on the next exercise to start, which is very inconvenient. But overall I think this app has lots of potentials, the meals look delicious too.
Edit: I will not subscribe to this app after the trial period. My biggest complaint is that the workouts are basically exactly the same every single day for entire 12 weeks. They claimed there will be big change after 3-4 weeks. NONE. The workouts still remain the same. I just cannot justify the price for all the repetitive workouts this app provides. Save yourself some money and get other workout apps which have more varieties.

Thank you for your feedback and ideas. We're glad to hear that many of these features are already on our roadmap, and we plan to release them gradually as we work towards continuous improvement and adding more features based on user requests.
Your input is invaluable, and we're committed to enhancing the user experience. If you have any more suggestions or feedback, please don't hesitate to share them with us through our feedback email feedback@gainsbybrains.com The workouts are amazing. I am enjoying those a lot. The app is pretty glitchy, but it is worth the patience. Some recommendations for the developers: if we can log our weight amounts, if the timer can beep when it’s completed and if the timer can still run if we have to swipe away from the app during rests. Also for the sprint/easy run splits, it would be really nice if it just flowed straight through with beeps so I wouldn’t have to spend time fussing around with timers. Really excited to watch the app continue to develop!!
The meals section is loading and been stuck ever since I subscribed to it. Extremely buggy
My issue with it the lack of alternatives for certain workouts .Not suitable for users who have their own home gym (lack of certain machines) This is great for gym use100%. The treadmill run lacks 0 information about the incline &suggested speed. I hope this app gets better and offers more workout that is suitable for home/gym users.
Developer Response
We apologize for the loading issues you're experiencing with the meals section. Please contact our support team at support@gainsbybrains.com for assistance with this. We're working on enhancing the app with a cardio timer to improve your cardio workouts. Additionally, more detailed information per exercise and alternative exercises are in the pipeline. We also plan to introduce home workout programs in the future to cater to a wider range of fitness environments. Your feedback is crucial for our continuous improvement, and we're committed to making the app more versatile for both home and gym users. Thank you!
