Not worth the money

I was excited to use this, I have used workout apps before like EvolveYou. As soon as I downloaded this the app felt messy and chaotic (I’m very tech savvy) it is not user friendly or organized AT ALL. A lot of the “programs” are just mish mashs of other programs in her guide pieced together using the same workouts and videos to create the illusion of having “options”. The instructions for the workout are super disorganized as well. You cannot simply click and workout. Depending on the workout guide you pick you have to read what video you should be following. I’m not talking just a simple couple sentences, you are supposed to read a few pages worth of info just to figure out what workout you need to be doing. It’s very messy. For example “week 1,3,5, watch this video etc. Week 2,6,7 watch this” it’s a weird setup. I don’t have time to search for the workouts. I’m a busy mom and I need an app I can just pop open and go. I quickly realized I would not long term spend money on this so I cancelled my subscription but the cancellation didn’t go through so I was charged for yet another month. You can’t just cancel your subscription, you have to go to her website and cancel from there. Super disappointing. I’ll stick to the EvolveYou app.

Response from developer

I’m sorry you had this experience but what you have described doesn’t sound anything like my app. The app is very simple to use and I will be happy to explain a few things. All you need to do is, log in - enroll in one of the programs or challenges and press play. You can choose between following my full length workout videos which are totally unique to every single program. I am one of the few trainers who do these programs from start to finish with you and there is nothing mashed together to create an illusion. There are instructions in the overview for each workout which are meant to be of assistance to beginners but they can easily be ignored and it’s definitely not “pages” like the reviewer suggests. More like a few sentences explaining what equipment is needed and tips for proper form. At no point do you need to search for workouts in the app. There is nothing at all in the app that would even suggest that. The whole point is to enroll in one of the programs which I’ve designed to give you effective results. Once you enroll a schedule will be created, your calendar will become populated and all you need to do is press “start”. It doesn’t sound like you were enrolling in a program and you were just looking at random workouts on the app and thinking you needed to search for the days. Really, all you needed to do was go to the “Programs” section of the app instead of looking at “Workouts” section. You must not have spent enough time on the app to realize this. If you create your subscription on the website you will need to cancel it on the website. I’m sorry, but that’s just the way that has to be and there’s no way to change it. There is a confirmation box at checkout that states this and asks you to agree that you understand it before you are permitted to create your subscription.

Mom of 3

I love how she is just real. She is not fake. I really enjoy my workout sessions with her. This is my 3rd day of sweat and swear.

Great Workouts

I have been following Becky on instagram and finally subscribed to her workouts! Great form, videos and clean healthy food recommendations!

Can’t even make my account!

I downloaded the app. Tried several times to create an account, but every time I filled out the form, then clicked the “sign up with email” button…nothing happened. So I deleted the app, downloaded it again, and tried several times again, but to no avail! Very frustrating! Becky comes highly recommended by a friend. Very disappointed!

Amazing App from Beginners to Experts

I’m a beginner and Becky’s app has made me enjoy finding the energy to get started. I have been on her dot plan which has helped and it’s all nutritional. The workouts are easy to follow and give you the option to work out with her or at your own speed. You can keep track of your progress. It’s just so fun and I am feeing the burn after 45 min each day, from the comfort of my home!

Easy & Challenging

Becky’s app is so user friendly. I’m able to navigate it without being confused with the different options she offers. Although the workouts are easy to follow, they pack a punch. She gives great instructions along the way and I’m left weak, in the best way possible!
Thanks Becky (and Marc😉).

Love love love!

Amazing app! Zero complaints! I’ve tried tons. This one is my fav!

Customer support does not work

Many functions work fine but I have found multiple glitches and when I try to email their support they either have a bounce back or no one responds. I have tried about three times on spread out dates.

The emails could possibly be wrong? I have tried accounts@builtbybecky. I always get notification they have received the support request then nothing.

The app needs lots of improvement for the $20 subscription

I love working out with Becky. I’ve been doing it for months and dealt with some issues that I ignored but then I remember, hey, I’m paying $20 a month, it should run perfectly.

So first, I work out mostly with user progressed. Many times the exercises are actually standard, not a superset etc but the app for some reason makes me do each exercises one set each. So normally it should be one exercise and repeat it 3-4 times, but many times it makes me go through all exercises with just one set.

Second, when exercises are connected into a superset, many times it does not allow you to substitute an exercise that’s inside it. Sometimes it allows one, but usually not the one I’d wanna switch out.

Third, sometimes I take a break in between the sets and go use a different app and when I get back to the BBB app (maybe 3-5 mins later), it quit my whole workout. I have to start it again and keep clicking until I get to the point I was in.

These maybe are small things but for a $20 dollar app I’d except that these should not happen. I’m hoping Becky will see this feedback and improve the app further!

Response from developer

I’m sorry you had this experience but I wish you would message me - for the life of me I can’t figure out which program you encountered the issue with the workouts only doing 1 set each. I’ve never heard of anyone else having that issue on the programs. It’s easy for me to fix an issue like that so I’d love to know which program it happened on. I do my absolute best to provide substitutions on the exercises but sometimes it’s hard to think of all of the possibilities. I will do my best to improve on this. I will talk with the app developers about correcting your issue with leaving the app for an extended period of time and the workout not saving to where you left off.

Suggestions!

Love the workouts! However I have a couple of suggestions. 1) In addition to being able to log reps and weight, I would love a place to write a few notes to myself. For instance reminders about whether the previous weight was one dumbbell or 2. A combined weight or weight per db. Also when I use resistance bands I like to log the color for myself. I don’t know the “weight” so it would be helpful to have a place to write “used red band” etc. Or if I added a band to an exercise like glute bridge I would like a reminder to myself like “used black fabric band” in addition to being able to log db weight. 2) I use small addl clip on weights to my dumbellws that are each 1.25lbs. So if 15s are easy I can make them 16.25. But there’s no way to add a decimal point in the weight section to log that type of weight. I do love the programs - these are just ideas that would help me personally !

Mom of two toddlers!

I have tried so many different apps, but BBB has been everything! This is the ONLY program that has worked for my postpartum core—I’m actually starting to see abs, but also I can feel the strength coming back! She is amazing! From her nutrition to her motivation to her workout playlist! She has it ALL. She doesn’t disappoint and you will love it! Give it a try! She also gets down to what you need without making it a 60-120 minute workout. Some people may have that kind of time, but as a working mama of two precious littles—I sure don’t! Thank you, Becky! You’ve boosted my confidence! Five stars all the way.

The only app I can stick with!

Absolutely love this app and Becky. Something about her attitude towards working out (do your best with what you have/ don’t need a gym), combined with the types of exercises (basic/no HIIT or crazy 5 step exercises) has me hooked. I’ve tried many different apps over the years but this one is my absolute fave because I’ve been able to stick with it and actually look forward to working out which has been an on going issue over the past few years. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you Becky!

Great workouts!

I am a week in, and I am SWEATING! Love her pace and the fact that she keeps it 30-40mins.

Love it

I’ve worked out for most of my life and Becky’s workouts have been my favorite. You see results if you stay consistent. I truly enjoy them and recommend it!

Best workout app

You will love working out with Becky. I look forward to it every day! Don’t hesitate, giver here try. Once you do you’ll wonder why you didn’t start your fitness journey sooner!

Becky Girl Forever

I’ve been following Becky for the past 5 years, and her programs are absolutely amazing,they truly deliver results. In a world full of endless options, I choose her because I love her program and I love her. She’s an influencer with no filters, you always get the real deal.

Programs are great, app is mediocre

The app needs an update or attention or something. It’s super inconvenient that it resets in the middle of a workout and forces you to log back in and start over. I love the programs but won’t renew my subscription if the app isn’t fixed.

Mh aunt :3

My aunt is epic for making this app it helps me cook :3

Great for ADHD fit chicks!

I’m a fairly advanced lifter but i absolutely hate going to the gym—ladies, I know you feel me—but I’m also extremely ADHD, so this helps keep me on track every week. I like that I can choose guided or user progressed (always user progressed for me!), and I love that the rests are timed so I don’t find myself off on some 30-minute side-quest in the middle of a workout. I love that there are a wide variety of programs or individual workouts to choose from, and at various fitness levels, so I don’t get bored.
While I’m used to lifting with heavier weights, I always feel like I got a great workout in, especially with lower body days. I wish some of the upper body workouts were more challenging and “complete” feeling, but I realize this is not on most women’s radars and I can always add exercises in as needed.
I also like the various meal ideas, which helps give me ideas for easy meal-prep when I’m sick of my usual go-tos or just stuck on planning.
Overall the best workout program I’ve used, especially for those with executive functioning deficits. Thank you!!
