Sloppy
Used to love this site. Downloaded the app today and while the exercises are helpful, information is inaccurate such as muscles worked. The search function also doesn’t work properly. I searched for abdominal exercises with a cable machine and probably over half of the available exercises didn’t populate.

Downgrade from previous app
I was a long time user of bodybuilding.coms previous workout social app and track, Bodyspace. That app used to be amazing but when it got phased out, i lost all my workout history.
I tried to come back and use this new app but it felt stripped of many old features. One major feature is the ability to build workouts as you do them. You can only create templates and can’t edit once the workout starts. I used to use the search exercise feature to find new exercises and variations. Now the search/filter don’t work as cleanly. I can be searching for Bicep/cable and I’ll still get back/machine or other non related exercises.
The main thing is like previously stated that i can’t build/ edit my custom workouts once i started exercising. Allow me to build my workouts, reps, exercises, and time as im doing them. Having to rebuild a template to adjust reps or exercises is frustrating and takes more time away from workout.

Older Version was better
The new version of the app is not intuitive. I want to supplement movements based on available equipment but I’m unable to. Also hard to track the strength progression without having a spot to log the weight.
Update or downgrade
I have been using bodybuilding app for years and stopped for a while for my pregnancy and was excited to come back just to find out that all the diet plans and the easy to follow format of the workouts is lost. I wish they gave me the option to use the old app
I can’t look for products unless I am logged in..
Unfortunately, I can’t use the app without being logged in, which makes it essentially useless for me. Because of this limitation, the app has become obsolete in my experience, so I deleted it and went back to the regal homepage. Very disappointing.
Absolute GARBAGE
This app is absolute garbage and does nothing but ROB the user of $9.99. I subscribed and the app would not allow me to open ANY programs. 0/5 stars. Absolute TRASH.
Not great, not terrible
Old BodySpace app was better but this has potential. It’s not as intuitive as the old one. One issue I’m having is I can’t seem to find out to delete past workouts. I’ve initiated a few workouts but they got messed up so I had to start a new one and now I have a mess of workouts that never happened in my history. Please address this.

Cart
Great app, however it needs to be updated, because RN, items cannot be added to the cart 🛍️💸
Terrible update
What was once the best workout app for programs and tracking is now terrible. Used the previous version for years then it was updated and totally changed. Keep thinking they’ll bring back the old app but hasn’t and probably won’t happen.
Mr smith
What happen to this app? Used to be the best for tracking workouts now it’s the worst. Looking for something else…
Missing the old app
Can’t add new exercises to keep track of my routine cause there not in the library and I can’t add it like the old app did .plus miss the old set up more it was easier and faster to set up for a work out . Pls update this feature just bring the old app back it was way much better then this
Miss the the articles along with easier tracking your and nice layout, this new version idoesn’t work half the time or the videos really disappointed I thought they would work on it more

App down for nearly 2 weeks.
****Update 2026****
Wow this app has gotten worse. I signed up for a promised 7 day trial and was immediately billed. So I gave it a go, what can I say it’s an unusable fall from grace from the simple clean UI of the distant past. Avoid this app.
——————
I missed the programs this app had, so after a long hiatus, I came back and… well deleted it promptly. Everything from the Font to the UI basic usability is a failure. They managed to make it near unusable from how the app was years ago.
Do not install, pass this app up. They have a record of failure that your reps could ever achieve.
Can Apple please audit this app and remove it from the store? It’s time bodybuilding.com shape up or lose the privilege of reach to users on iOS.

When this app works it’s great, but currently it has not been accessible for nearly 2 weeks. Fortunate for me my auto renewal would have started in a few days so I was able to cancel it. Please fix the app and I will come back, until then I advise anyone to look elsewhere for a fitness app.
EDIT: Keeping it the one star they earned. Took weeks for them to acknowledge the app went down, been using this app for years and it’s apparent the dev lost focus on the community. Switched to Boostcamp, BodyFit needs to vastly update this app and put redundancies in place to minimize downtime before I would consider subscribing again.

New app layout is frustrating
I used to have great success with this app until they updated it. The new layout is overly complicated and doesn’t sync well some of the programs. I used to love doing Jim Stoppani’s 6Weeks to Shred but the app makes it functionally impossible to navigate and the accelerated cardio times don’t work. It’s beyond frustrating fighting with an app when you’re just trying to get through your workout. I wish I could just use the old version. This feels like a waste of money and a complete disappointment.

Horrible App
This app is horrible. It’s difficult to use and it doesn’t work correctly. I have a subscription and it will not allow me to access workouts, even though I’ve paid for the workouts. Also, it doesn’t function properly when I can access it. bodybuilding.com has a lot of work to do with this app. It’s actually the worst I’ve ever used.

Latest update
Why you removed workout set weight number entry ? There is only set number but cant put in the weight.
Getting
Love having the programs I’ve followed on BodyBuilding.com for years built in an app that tracks progress. I will say when they first launched it, it had a ton of issues but, it looks like the developers have made a lot of updates and fixes since launching and it is improving. So, if you have up on the app after the major update, you might want to give it another go. I do wish they made some of the supplemental material for the programs available. Back when these were on the website, they would include PDFs of things like diet and an overview of the entire program. Another big drawback is that you can’t do more than one workout program at once or it will kick you off the existing one. I also wish it would save the weight for your last set for the next for each workout, instead of zeroing out watch set.

Barely functional
Virtually every time I try to open the app, there is an issue with logging in, selecting a workout, or being able to select any option. The technical issues are embarrassing.
Can’t see my workout program
Can’t see my workout program. It just brings me to a subscription page each time, despite the fact that I’m already subscribed
Use to be great app, sucks now
This app use to be great until they turned it into a social media platform. It use to be all about the workouts but the app lost so many features with the new update. It burns through so much of my battery if I’m using it and listening to music I can’t go into the gym with less than 50%. The rest period timers don’t make any sense. Super sets in the app don’t save correctly. Saving my workout history is a hit or miss.
I still used the app after the big update hoping they would fix all the issues. They did fix some and I did suggest a few via instagram and saw them implemented. So that was nice. But no one asked for the social media platform and their server and interface does not look like it was built to sustain it. They should have made the apps separate, a workout app “BodyFit” and a social media app maybe called “BodyFitBook” or something. Melting both ideas together before establishing market demand sandbag the great aspects of the fitness app and created disdain for the social platform. Not recognizing your competition is Instagram and the quality of their platform already far exceeds what you released.
It seemed like all of your trainers hated the update as much as everyone else because all of their lives people were shouting how much we hated it and no one wanted to address the issue. The trainers ignored the cries of the people like a red headed step child.
Icing on the cake is I’ve still been paying the $9.99 monthly subscription and using the app on a regular basis. Then today I go to look at my workouts and it says I need to pay the subscription fee… again! I just got charged last week! Now I can’t do my workout. I can’t justify this anymore. I’m switching to Hevy.
