Getting better
I took a chance on the Harambe System in 2023, and it’s been one of the best investments I’ve made in years. It helped me get back into shape and, more importantly, maintain that progress over the long term. The app was a great companion from the start, but in 2026 it’s better than ever more informative, more polished, and far more useful for tracking progress and staying consistent.

Don’t keep their commitments
Review: They Don’t Keep Their Commitments – Data Lost and Service Canceled
This company does not stand by its word or its contracts. I had an active, paid yearly subscription valid until January 2027, but with zero warning, they deleted the app I was using and replaced it with a new version that stripped away everything I paid for.
Because of this unannounced "upgrade," I have lost months of workout data and no longer have access to my training programs. I’m now stuck trying to figure out which exercises I was supposed to be doing and where I left off in my progress.
Despite their public announcements promising a "seamless transition" with "nothing to re-buy" and "grandfathered" rates, they refused to honor my existing subscription. The new app is technically free to download, but it is an empty shell; to get back the functionality and programs I already paid for, they are demanding a new subscription fee of $199/year.
When I confronted them, they admitted their announcement was "misleading" but still refused to restore my access. Instead, they offered to "refund" me via PayPal or Zelle because they won’t even use official App Store channels to fix their own mistake.
Do not trust this company's "locked-in" promises. They will change the terms, hike the price, and wipe out your data whenever it suits them. Total bait-and-switch.

Expensive
Had this for a while, and stopped for a month and went on vacation. Came back eager to start, but now the app is updated and my old information cannot be found. Also, now we have to pay a lot more monthly/annually on top of the cost that we paid for the system. Expensive
Used to be simple and good. Now is AI slop.
I had purchased the yearly pro plan and used the app weekly. Now the app has been updated and the Pro plan I purchased is no longer valid. But I can’t get a refund from Apple at this point. Now instead of 20 dollars a year the price has increased 10x to 200 dollars, and my subscription is no longer valid. I’m told that they can put the 20 dollars toward the new subscription, so I’d still only have to pay a measly 180 dollars! Terrible customer service and support. Bait and switch. Plus I lost all my customized workouts and history with no warning.

Best at home workout I’ve found.
Updated: Cyberplate takes this to another level. The app continues to improve over time. The Harambe K Bar complete system, along with the Harambe Fit app, have truly been a game changer in my workouts. I bought it when looking at 125lb ajustable dumbbells, and you get way more bang for your buck with this system. The app is great for tracking everything, and you can’t beat it for $20 a year!!! Thanks Khalid & the Harambe team for all you do!!! If you’re not a member of the Harambe FB community you should check it out too. This company has truly changed my life.
