Amazing
I really love this app. I’m about 1 year postpartum with my second and last child and have been really prioritizing getting back in shape and specifically strength training. This program is the first I’ve been able to stick to for an extended period after trying other very popular and more expensive options. Following the Build programs, I am always able to fit my workout in and I always know what I’m supposed to do that day. There’s no guessing. I’ve been tracking my weights and going up in most all of them. Most importantly, I feel really great!

Not worth the price
I was really looking forward to joining this program at almost one year postpartum. I was especially interested in the community aspect, since I love connecting with other moms and it’s not something you always get with a lot of virtual programs. I had followed Marlie on IG for years and she always shared so many posts from the WhatsApp group - I was genuinely really excited. But to my disappointment the groups on WhatsApp were really quiet (like only a couple of posts a days). I posted a couple times and got hardly any interaction. Most of the posts are posted by someone who is paid to do so (think their name was Phoebe), which kind of detracts from the experience imo. The workouts are ok enough, but there is so much available for free online that I didn’t really find that these provided anything extra to justify the cost of the membership. The live workouts tend to be scheduled at the same time every week and as a result, I was never able to join a single one. What really disappointed me was when Marlie launched the Build program and started counting macros and weighing all of her food - felt like a complete contradiction to the BounceFoward program. Needless to say I won’t be renewing my membership.

Gains achieved
I’m just beginning week four of the Build program and I’m impressed with my progressive gains already. I needed some direction with weights and I found it on Build. I’m only able to do it three times a week instead of the four, but even with that, I’m noticing the gains. Marlie is easy to listen to and gives thoughtful instructions. I do some modifications with a few of the moves due to nerve damage in my neck. I’m looking forward to the next program, when I finish Build!

Amazing for Moms!!
As a mom, I LOVE using the Bounce Forward app because it’s so easy to navigate and the weekly schedule helps take out the “mindwork” of having to figure out which workout to do every time. I also love how it includes the recent challenges, and a library of workouts that even includes pregnancy workouts and early post-partum ones. Highly recommend!!
