Great all around
I bought the hybrid bodybuilding bundle and I absolutely love it. The programs are awesome and the app is very well thought out. Also, a shout out to their customer service for being on point helping me get things sorted out
App overall works okay
The exercises offered are different compared to other workout apps. I have two complaints, 1. It would be nice to have a a tone or indicator when the rest period ends. 2. My current plane is hybrid bodybuilding 4.0 phase 2. During the workout, the phone screen closes and I have to reopen the phone. This is annoying especially when doing timed cardio. This didn’t happen with phase 1.

Customer support nonexistent
Customer support is not answering my emails. I sent them emails asking if they have an update on my request and they didn’t even bother answering. App may be good but don’t expect customer support to help you.
Major bugs/design problems
The developers of this app have clearly opted to prioritize paying fitspo influencers for their programs over functionality and user friendly interfaces.
The first major issue I have is that no music or video app will consistently playback while this app is open. My music stops every 5-10 seconds while I’m lifting, and god forbid I have it still open when I try to throw on Netflix while doing LISS cardio. And before you suggest troubleshooting, I have tried every single thing I could find while scouring the internet.
The user interface is clunky. Nobody I have ever met logs reps THEN weight, especially with RPE/RIR based training. You pick a weight, then log the reps. The app needs to add warmup set functionality to be fully useful. One other thing: the fact that the requires so much wifi bandwidth is absolutely infuriating. Not every gym has WiFi, and if it takes 5 minutes to load or complete a workout, you’ve lost me.
Disappointed with this. Hope it gets fixed.

Support won’t reply
I contacted the support, but they just reply nothing even just want to change email address and login name. I will give 0 star if I can.
Very good
It's good app for all people who want improve yourself. Recommend!
It’s fantastic
It’s deep, challenging, worth every penny, worth your time. If you commit, it pays you back in spades.
Good app
i'm very insterested in
UI & UX are rough
I’m sure everyone who puts out content on this app are good at what they do. This app is a great catalogue and introduction to these coaches, but it’s frustrating to navigate through this system so I would rather buy their programs through other means than this app… for now.
Aggressive marketing
The app is fair. However, be prepared for aggressive in-app marketing to buy in deeper. I also can’t stop the flood of emails to upgrade the program I have already purchased.
Not another subscription
I was really looking forward to purchasing a membership, but I will not be unless the lifetime access is “back in stock.” With everything nowadays being on a subscription model, I was happy to hear that I can get a well liked fitness app for a one time higher price. Unfortunately it seems that this option has “sold out,” which means if you want to use this app, then it’s one more subscription to add. I really love the work that Eugene Teo puts out, and hope to see the lifetime membership come back, as if it does, I will be back as well.

Bait and switch
The app and programming is great, but couple years ago I bought a lifetime membership and now it asks me to pay for the pro account. Seems wrong
Basic features don’t work
I have two huge complaints with this app.
- it quite literally never registers when I finish a workout. Every single time I mark a workout as complete and then come back to the app the next day, it tells me that I have been in the previous workout for 30+ hours and it’s not finished. In the best case this is a minor annoyance. In the worst case the app errors out over and over as I try to complete the workout
- for paid workout plans, the set scheme isn’t filled in with the buttons. If it tells you two sets of 30 seconds, the markers showing each set don’t show up, you have to create them yourself and THEN mark them as done. For such a simple app, I found this inexcusable.
- finally, a small thing, needing to have my internet on to see the plan I already paid for is a nuisance

App is not working properly
I just want continue with my split stretches and app is not working empty screen to choose workouts
Wishes
I like parts of this but the interface is terrible, I can’t tell what I’m supposed to do in supersets and my intensity doesn’t get saved
Horrible customer service
The app is fine once you get the access you pay for. Customer service accepts your payment then doesn’t grant the paid access for 6 days then charged me $6 cancellation fee to remove the access they never even granted! Customer service only in off hours as they’re offshore.
Horrible UI
I cannot say enough bad things about the UI in this app. I really love the programs and coaches- but the UI is just a mess.
One of the worst “features” is that if you tap a little fast- I mean ANYTHING at any time, the support menu will interrupt you and pop up.

Top tier
I’ve been using this app for about three years and keep coming back to it because of its wide variety of programs and exercises that keep things interesting. I really appreciate how Eugene explains each movement in detail, which helps me perfect my form.
The leg program is especially effective—I’ve always had small legs, but I’ve seen real growth. Even the non-leg workouts include a solid leg component. Overall, I’m very happy with the app!

THANK YOU for the 5 star review! Me and the team really appreciate it and are so grateful to have you along for so long - Eugene
It’s a good app
The functionality is solid. Unfortunately just none of the programs were what I was looking for. I wish I would have had a chance to check out the hybrid bodybuilding program before I subscribed - the workouts were very long, the volume was too high for me (6 workouts in 10 days, I was looking for 4/week which is pretty standard), and a lot of the movements would have been very hard to pull off in a busy commercial gym. Wasn’t my cup of tea but I think it’s a cool app.

Sorry to hear the program wasn't what you were after! We do offer a 100% no obligation free trial to all programs, along with swaps for all exercises to suit busy, commercial gyms. If you need any help, email us at support@ganbarumethod.com, or directly in our app community and our coaches can help you out! 🫡
Hybrid 2.0
The app is a little overwhelming at first with all the programs, but i literally sent the last 24 hrs watching the hybrid 2.0 exercise w/tips and understanding why we are doing some movement. And my mind is blown in a very positive way.

Glad to hear it!! Thank you for your review
