Nearly half of my check-ins fail to count and workouts are often more difficult to cast to a TV than it should be. Would like to have more dynamic controls of content search by being able to tag a favorite coach to avoid having to search each time and possibly a weekly planner to see your workout progress and plan your workouts for the week. ### 2/5 — iPad version is broken *2025-11-27, version 8.2.0* Virtual workout recordings freeze, been happening for months and not fixed. Pretty frustrating when your mid workout ### 4/5 — Workout and camp great, the app… *2025-08-20* Camp Gladiator is great! I can’t recommend it enough. The app always seem to be buggy after each release. The latest release, 801, is missing the checking button at the bottom of the screen. I have to go find my location before checking in. I always get a “network error” every time I go to the Home Screen. And when I do check in, the check in total never goes up unless I restart the app, although in check in details it will show the new check in date in the list. Small, but annoying things. ### 3/5 — Update bugs *2025-08-05, version 8.0.0* Ever since the last update, the app has been glitchy, I’m no longer able to AirPlay my workouts from my phone to my television, which is very frustrating! ### 2/5 — Not the best update *2025-07-28, version 8.0.0* With this update, you can’t edit your profile pic. It says changes have been saved but, it doesn’t appear. It takes long to load schedules and on demand library. ### 2/5 — Can’t check in *2023-09-13, version 7.2.0* After recent update, I haven’t been able to check in. I’ve deleted and reinstalled app. Restarted phone and Contacted customer service, they were unable to resolve. Was forwarded to tech tech support. Didn’t near back. Disappointed because I liked tracking my workouts. ### 2/5 — This app is poor *2023-09-12, version 7.2.0* The app was fine until CG made changes and now we have all kinds of technical issue. The app is still not working well at all. ### 1/5 — App for IOS still not working correctly… *2023-09-03, version 7.6.1* First update…I was able to see some workouts but not my check-ins or update my profile. Also, app doesn’t allow me to see trainers on Sunday if I clicked Browse all live workouts. After another update…after uninstalling and reinstalling and clearing Cache I could see my check-ins but still no workouts on Sunday. Another update… I could update my photo on profile, see trainers on Sunday in the “quick access workouts” but not if I clicked Browse all workouts. Now today 9-3-23 after another update … I uninstalled/ reinstalled cleared cache and now I can’t see any workouts. ### 1/5 — App issues *2023-09-02, version 7.6.1* App rarely works ### 1/5 — Won’t let you cancel membership *2023-09-01, version 7.6.1* You can’t even contact customer service, no option to cancel membership in the app. Don’t start this program!!!!! ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2023-08-31, version 7.6.0* App has been really glitchy for the past several months. I can’t get checked in and have had to uninstall and reinstall several times. Super frustrating! ### 1/5 — App is trash now *2023-08-22, version 7.5.0* The app used to be great on my iPhone and IPad. Now it’s constantly crashes and make me sign in every time. My favorite trainer workouts are no longer saved. The app on IPad doesn’t work great. When I turn on camera. It’s just a froze image. ### 2/5 — What’s Going on? *2023-08-16, version 7.5.0* CG used to be an easy to use, easy to navigate, and an easy way to find a trainer that worked with your schedule or preferences. Now, I’m constantly having to redownload the app or refresh the websites or it is through the app. If it works at all. It has been an on going issue for a while now. Please get this fixed! ### 1/5 — Unstable App *2023-08-04, version 7.4.1* This app crashes every time I open it. I have to delete it and reload it to get anything to load. ### 2/5 — Not there yet *2023-07-07, version 7.4.1* After a long wait for an app update that shows our total check-ins, it’s disappointing to see that the number of check-ins is completely off (by about 200). I’ve heard other campers have the same experience. For how I use the app, it was much better BEFORE all these recent updates. Feels like we’re going backwards. BUT … I still love going to CG! ### 2/5 — App is busted again *2023-06-24, version 7.3.0* I love camp gladiator workouts. But this rating is for the app that doesn’t work more often than it does. Currently I can’t see my user profile (error) or access any on demand workouts (force quits the app) so I have to log into the website. What a pain. ### 3/5 — Search function doesn’t work right *2023-06-20, version 7.3.0* You can search for camps by day of the week, but the time of day filter does not work correctly. ### 2/5 — Love CG, but app migration is terrible *2023-05-26, version 7.3.0* CG is migrating to a new platform and they obviously were not ready. Multiple logins are necessary. Check-ins just recently we’re added back in, but total amount isn’t known. Trainers can’t track either and you can’t check in with them if they are at an alternate location. What should have been a seamless transition has taken way too long. Do better CG. ### 1/5 — Don’t roll out painful changes until you are ready *2023-05-18* I have never experienced an app as bad as this. Have to download a new version multiple times. Had to follow very specific directions to change password on the browser before attempting to download new app. Constant missteps and they passed the pain of migrating to a new system on to the customers when they clearly weren’t ready. Points earned are missing. These points can pay for items in their store. They gave us little notice that perk was going away and therewas virtually nothing left to “buy” by the time we were notified. Amateurs affecting the trainers ability to serve customers should be fired. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So many bugs *2025-11-03, version 8.1.1* This app is terrible. It freezes. Often the location doesn’t work. Simple functions freeze. The banner at the top after check in gets stuck. It’s really not a good app. ### 1/5 — worst app *2025-10-14, version 8.0.3* Possibly the worst app on my phone- unfortunately need it to check in for accountability for my insurance. Customer service is all AI based and gets nothing solved. It's so frustrating especially for the amount of money we pay each month to workout in a parking lot. CG needs to get it together. If it wasn't for my amazing trainers I'd have canceled a long time ago and gone to a more professional company. ### 1/5 — Worst customer support *2025-08-07, version 8.0.0* I will never ever recommend anyone to join you guys. ### 1/5 — Yeah, but can you check-in? *2025-08-05, version 8.0.0* For whatever good you think you have achieved with this update, you have made It so much worse because it takes more steps to actually check-in. You raise prices, you cut back on merch and now you think you’ve made improvements, but the one thing I really want to do (check-in easily at outdoor camps), you’ve managed to make it even more difficult. Terrible—it’s a backdate, not an update. ### 1/5 — Can only do on demand classes through the app *2024-11-12, version 7.8.5* It is very frustrating not being able to take a live class using the app it won’t let me go to one. The good news is that I can still do on-demand but that’s not what I was looking for over the last two weeks. Please get this fixed. ### 1/5 — An absolute NIGHTMARE to cancel. Not worth it. *2024-05-01* This company has probably the worst customer service "support" I've ever seen. The CG workout program itself is good - good trainers, community and workouts. HOWEVER - the membership itself is the part that's awful. It's specifically designed to be difficult to navigate so that they keep you stuck in this confusing cycle, all the while continuing to take your money. Somehow I got signed up for the two year payment program - this was not what I asked for, and I had just been heavily injured so was unable to workout at all - so I tried to call to ask them about it. They do not have public information about how to contact support - the only option they provide is chat (which I'll get to in a bit). There is no number, no contact info - nothing. I had to hunt down the # and finally found it after ten minutes (and much frustration) from a third party website (which has since been purged). When I called, they told me that unless you notified them within an HOUR of signing up, it was 'too late' to cancel. So I was forced to pay $70 a month for a membership I couldn't even use - for a year and a half. On top of that, you cannot cancel your membership online or by phone - has to be done through trainer only. Their "helpful" "article" on how to cancel your BOLD membership has one line only - "if you are eligible to cancel, contact trainer through app." Customer service is ONLY through chat - (my multiple follow ups all had to be through chat as earlier number was purged) after you spend several minutes navigating through the AI that will only answer four very specific questions at most (how to pay, how to add new card, and how to buy gear) then try to send you "helpful" links for articles that no longer exist. When I finally got to a rep over chat, they continued to throw that vague language - "you may cancel your membership when your account is eligible". It felt like I was pulling teeth just to get ANY actually helpful or specific information. I spent a few years doing camp gladiator which I really enjoyed, but this whole manipulative pyramid scheme-esque membership structure left an awful taste in my mouth. So if you're the kind of person who is on top of your affairs, this might be the program for you - but I would avoid it all together. ### 1/5 — Broken for a Year *2024-03-11, version 7.8* Y'all broke the app about a year ago. It used to be easy to check-in, rate trainer's workouts, and track your check-ins. With all the lapses in the app, we all lost so many check-ins that they almost feel meaningless at this point. It used to be easy to check-in on the app from the home screen, but now it takes 4 clicks minimum. And now, after taking away trainer ratings from the app, you're reimplementing them via TEXT MESSAGES? This is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — App fails often *2023-11-27, version 7.7.5* I truly enjoy the CG classes I take. But there is nothing good to say about this app. They should kill it and start over. ### 1/5 — CG I recommend. Their app… no! *2023-09-27, version 7.7.1* App stopped working for weeks After frustrating my trainer and myself for weeks, finally discovered the app had stopped working with my iOS version. Would have been nice to see a message in the app that told me that was my problem. I DO RECOMMEND CG because of my trainer Amy W. (Raleigh, NC) regardless of my app issues - because she is so great (try her for online if you aren’t local). I’ve met a couple other local CG trainers, and they also have been good. The online trainers have been good so far. afaik: You have to use the app to be in CG ### 1/5 — ABSURD - CANNOT CANCEL WITH EASE *2023-09-06, version 7.6.1* There is absolutely no option to cancel within the app. No phone number to call. The option is to get on an automated chat and convince it that you actually DO want to cancel, then you have to wait 20 minutes to talk to a person that takes 5 minutes per reply, and won’t just cancel the membership without 20 questions. I’ve got the screen shots of the chat but I guess I can’t upload.

Workouts are challenging but meet me where I’m at and I feel truly cared for! ### 5/5 — Cg review *2022-12-18, version 6.4.2* It’s the best! Workouts, Community, Fun, Results with most awesome Trainers 1️⃣ ### 5/5 — The ONLY workout I ever want *2022-12-06, version 6.4.2* Camp Gladiator is revolutionary as far as I’m concerned. •Outdoor group workouts with a personal trainer. •Live virtual options. •Recorded On-Demand workouts. CG caters to all levels of athleticism, from beginner to Elite. It really is for everyone. After six and a half years of training with CG, I honestly can’t imagine myself training any other way or anywhere else. I absolutely LOVE CG! ### 5/5 — Best workout for all ages! Always challenging *2022-12-04, version 6.4.2* best work is always something different and challenging plus when you do pick a favorite trainer it still stays challenging because they vary every workout. Plus plus there are always variations for us old folks! However with CG I feel younger and stronger then I have in years! ### 5/5 — Camp Gladiator *2022-11-15, version 6.4.1* Ive been a camper since 2016, still loving it these many years later! Always something different and challenging. A great workout and a wonderful community of trainers and fellow campers, can’t recommend it highly enough!!!! ### 5/5 — Great options for workouts *2022-10-21* I started with virtual workouts with Jeff Kelly because I’m in North Myrtle Beach. He is so Awesome …. Once he went to Charleston but not virtual I branched out to Teri Wagner and Amanda Brisco…. After my two year membership I was turning 70 but didn’t want to quit, so I signed up for another two years. I’m an active person and was in Jazzercise a long time but CG is the absolute Best!!! After 300+checkins after two years I’m looking forward to another 300!! I really enjoy the 30 minute focused workouts on building muscles. I think that’s a great way to focus on areas to keep me strong. If only I could get some referrals to boost me! I keep trying realizing this is a golfing area ( which I also partake in) but focusing on certain muscle groups has definitely helped me. Thank you CG!! Keep it up!! Wut Wut Marsha Mims ### 5/5 — Workouts on Demand *2022-09-22, version 6.4.0* Last year my husband and I moved from Tyler, Texas (a big Cg hub) to Hayesville, North Carolina. We are up in the mountains “two hours from anywhere” which also come with sketchy internet/cell service. But the views are amazing! With that said, I love the workouts-on-demand. I can do these workouts when my internet service is good and I still feel like I’m training and apart of the Cg family. -Hope ### 5/5 — Workouts *2022-08-18, version 6.2.0* Camp Gladiator is the best ever!! I have no doubts! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2022-08-10, version 6.1.0* Easy to use. Lots of new content. It is great ### 5/5 — Great way to get fit *2022-06-17, version 5.4.0* Stick to it and you’ll see results --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
