Nice update team!
Excellent update, much smoother and cleaner guys.
Big Upgrade
The newest version of the App is great. The new features are fun to use but the speed and performance is the best part.
Good app, better programs, great community
I love the workout programs these guys come up with. I noticed some great gains from the strength program. The community and support you get is awesome
Seamless and intuitive
I started this year in BJJ, like most older guys lacking mobility, flexibility and specific strength to really make a difference on the mats. Enter the bulletproof for bjj app, the app with all the support from videos and community make it easy to plug and play the training to suit your needs. I can happily say that has made a huge contribution to my training and giving me enough variety, progression and repetition to see the gains. This app is a must have for the busy athlete wanting to maximise their potential on the mats! Just get the app!!

Buggy app
Keeps freezing where I have to kill the app and relaunch to view a video
Good idea, poorly executed
Honest Feedback for Future Improvements
I genuinely appreciate the intention behind this app. It’s clear the developers aren’t from a big software house, but they’ve built a solid foundation with a lot of potential. I’m a big fan of their podcast and was excited to invest in a full year of the app. However, there are several small but impactful issues that make the user experience less enjoyable.
Key Areas for Improvement:
1. Loading Times: The app is painfully slow to load. It’s frustrating to be left staring at the screen, waiting for workouts to start.
2. Workout Flexibility: Currently, you can only access a workout by adding it to a program. Sometimes, you just want to jump into a kettlebell workout without committing to a six-week program.
3. Progress Tracking Between Programs: There’s no seamless tracking of progress between programs. For example, if I log a deadlift weight in “Standards,” it doesn’t carry over to “Strength 101.” The programs feel quite separate.
4. Random Restarts: The app occasionally restarts itself, forcing you to navigate back to the workout—an unnecessarily tedious process.
5. Historical Data Visibility: There’s no way to view historical lift data. If I have an off day and reduce my weight, I can’t easily see what I achieved when I was feeling stronger the previous week.
6. Session Target Flexibility: I don’t see an option to update weekly session targets. Some weeks, I’m fully focused on BJJ with no gym sessions, while other weeks involve heavy travel for work. It would be helpful to adjust the app’s goals accordingly.
7. Offline Mode: An offline mode would be a game-changer, especially for those of us who train in gyms with poor internet connectivity—like hotel gyms.
I truly hope the developers take this feedback on board. There’s so much potential here, and with these improvements, the app could become a go-to fitness tool. While I love the concept and the podcast, I’m considering switching back to traditional PT apps next year, as they offer these features and more.

Great overall program
45years old, doing BJJ last 3yrs & stopped lifting when I started BJJ. Realized I needed to keep my joints strong & wanted a program. Perfect supplement to add into my week. Usually do 3 days BJJ & 2 Days of their Standards. Perfect balance without over working it for the BJJ hobiest who spends to much time in the office & commuting

Always delivers great results
A huge thank you to JT and Joey not only for this awesome training tool.
BPFBJJ has helped me not only get stronger and increase my mobility and movement, but also to keep me training hard constantly and confidently but most of all has helped me to finally be pain free again after years struggling with some issues I thought I’d never kick to the curb.
Thanks fellas.
I’ve been an athlete my whole life and I wish I had this resource all those years ago.
Also, the support and service along the way has been stellar.

Great app, great podcast great community!
I have been listening to the Bulletproof podcast for about a year, and started using the app about eight months ago. It has made me stronger and more mobile, just as advertised! The Facebook community is very active, and Joey and JT personally answer questions with the Facebook community group. It’s really appreciated, and I have gotten so much from both learning from the guys and from consistently utilizing the exercises in the app. Absolutely recommend for anyone doing Jiu Jitsu, or even if you just want solid, easy to follow and progressive strength and mobility routines.

Too many bugs
The videos are good but the app barely works as intended. The basics like checkboxes don’t work half the time.
Glitchy, need to include podcast access, good programming though
So the programming is solid. No contest there.
But once you have access there is nothing stopping you rom transcribing the programs to excel and abandoning the app.
I didn’t want to do that because the app could be handy. Unfortunately the app is very glitchy. When logging your sets it routinely lags and fails. This means you spend a lot of time mid workout trying to reload the app and fix your tracking. So in that sense the app isn’t better than a transcribed program which you print and carry hard-copy.
I could forgive the app if you got access to exclusive podcasts included in subscription. But you don’t. That’s an extra $5 a month on top of your $30.
My advice. Do the trial and transcribe all the workouts you want. Then unsubscribe from the $30 app and subscribe to the $5 podcast.

Response from developer
Phil, thanks for your honest review. You're absolutely right, we've had our fair share of bugs, which we've been working really hard on fixing. App function is much smoother now, which is great! Not super stoked on your recommending people sign up for free and rip our life's work. Call us old school, but we think the 30+ years of experience and expertise that's gone into our app is worth something. You're not wrong, I just would put your recommendation in the 'not particularly cool' basket. Oss!
Good exercises, frustrating app
Love the workouts but it’s a constant battle to check off my exercises and complete them. This always messes with my flow and the wasted time is adding up.
Great Program, Less Great App
The program is well thought out and excellent. It has helped me so much in my middle age as I try to stay healthy for jiu jitsu. The app is ridiculous. It always thinks the same routine is next, so I have to look back in my history to see what’s actually next. It also will log certain things then not give credit in the dashboard. That’s kind of annoying, but it’s very worth it, as this still ends with me doing the exercises I need to keep at it. I recommend the program, it be prepared to do a little work to overcome the many deficiencies of the app itself.

Freezes on Membership Page
Guys the app doesn’t work. I’ve made an account and logged in, but it freezes on the membership options page, every time. I’ve uninstalled the app numerous times on my phone but it happens each time I log in. I’ve even installed it on a tablet with the same result
Excellent app
Super easy to use: intuitive navigation, has all the features you want in an exercise app.
Also these guys really know what they’re doing on the fitness side of things. They’re as qualified as you can get.

The best companion on your jiu jitsu journey!
Plenty of programs to follow for strength and mobility. Very easy to use with many exercises that update based on your level. The program remembers what exercise and weight you did in your workout last week so you can easily keep track of what you are up to.
Track your jiu jitsu and gym sessions in a calendar, I like to leave myself notes on what I learned that day as it makes me re think about the lesson.
Having a program to work by that has been completed by professionals is a game changer. I was doing strength work from my own program but these guys have put hours and hours of work into what are the best exercises for you to do.
They also have a podcast and an Instagram account so you can really deep dive into jiu jitsu.
I hope this grows and they can keep giving us this excellent content.

Dom, thanks so much for the 5 star review. We are stoked you're loving the app and the podcast!
Good workouts, Good updates
I really like the exercises and how they pair well with my BJJ. I feel so much more capable and my recovery has improved immensely along with my mobility. The app was recently updated fixing a lot of what I struggled with. It’s 10x better now. I appreciate the fast follow update!
Good workouts, but app slows me down
I really like the exercises and how they pair well with my BJJ. However, it takes a lot of clicks to get into my workouts, and, sometimes I can’t get there without restarting the app. Sometimes I complete exercises and they don’t complete I have to keep retrying or close the app. Often times the workout screen freezes and I have to restart the app. I click items like the instructional video and it doesn’t always load. The update looks nice but ultimately it has caused me more struggle to track through my workouts. I’d prefer the app to work well vs looking nice. The 4 stars is weighted higher because the workouts have been very valuable to me, so I’m putting up with the inefficiencies of the app.

Can't access anything
Can't access the app or the website...multiple emails have gone unanswered - and now I'll be charged with no way to cancel.
What looked promising has now become a total loss of money with no way to stop being charged - for nothing in return.

Love the app but the new update has some issues
This is a great app that I rely on for bjj adjacent training, however there are a couple of teething issues with the new update.
The new UI is very nice, however there is no mention of how many sets one should be doing after the warmups. Additionally, there is a space for weight in the warmups, but not in the main workouts which seems counterintuitive.
Thanks
