They’re always adding new features too. W app ### 5/5 — Wow love it *2023-09-08* This is a great app to meet people who are like minded and have the same workout needs! I am so excited I found this. Def worth it ### 5/5 — Slayyy *2023-07-24* I usually hate going to the gym alone because I get nervous about working out by myself. This app really helped me connect with other people so I don’t have to worry about going alone anymore, and I can find people who share the same exercise goals as me. ### 5/5 — Great Gym App! *2023-07-22* GymBuddy has helped me get over my gymtimidation and get into the gym with others! I go to UC Davis and this app is amazing for finding new people to workout with, the ARC is overwhelming sometimes and it helps to have someone to workout with! ### 5/5 — Awesome idea! *2023-07-21* This is such an awesome idea! It’s already easy to use and is a great way to connect people who are using the app for the same purpose as you. Finding a gym buddy can be tough so this app is just what I need! Cant wait to see how it grows and evolves in the future. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-07-21* AMAZING APP! Easy to use and navigate and allows people to gather around a common interest! It’s a shame it’s only for students so far, but I believe they will expand it in the future. Never thought meeting other gym goers would be so easy ### 5/5 — W app *2023-07-21* I originally thought that this was people in my area but now after downloading the app it’s FOR STUDENTS! That makes it all the better in my opinion. After using it I was able to meet a new friend. Since then we always lift together, hang out, and figured out we are in the same major and have a class together. This all is great for networking and meeting with other students who you normally wouldn’t attempt to approach, especially at a larger University. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2023-07-19* It’s incredibly user friendly for students interested in finding a gym partner. I like that users can indicate their preferred workout times and fitness level since it makes it easier to locate partners who match your workout style as soon as possible without wasting much time. The chat feature is also very helpful to communicate with potential partners to make plans to work out. Anyone who is looking to make a “gym buddy” this app is for you! ### 5/5 — easy to use! *2023-07-19* the arc is kinda intimidating, so this app is a great way to connect with people before heading into the gym! highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Amazing concept and great app! *2023-05-08* I downloaded the app because I loved the concept, and so far the app has been great!
