Great app
You can see that the devs put a lot of effort in thinking about the features, the only missing feature is Apple Watch app so I can leave my phone instead of checking it constantly and getting distracted. I hope they finish the beta soon
Exactly what I want
Personal Reason for Having App:
First off I bought both the workout and the nutrition apps of the subscription, and rarely do I hop on subscription. I’ve been trying to keep track of both my own workout and nutrition from google spread sheets and over time it’s become more work to try and do everything on your own. As I’ve gotten to use it for a couple of weeks now, I can say that it is much simpler, and a lot easier to track all the important details without you needing to do any extra thinking.
Both MacroFactor Workouts & Nutrition:
For the workout side, it was convenient for me to tell the app what is available for me for equipment and also what parts I’m trying to target, and when logging in my weights, it even adjusted a suggested weight for my next set, really liked that suggestion.
For the MacroFactor Nutrition, I appreciate the AI function of being able to take a picture of what I am about to eat, log it in, and later being able to look back at where I need to improve and what am I missing in my diet.
OVERALL:
Anyone who is really interested and focused on being better without having to do a lot of extra thinking, these apps are for you. Highly suggest this to anyone who wants to level up their game.

App Doesn't Work
Workouts would not load. Asked for support to fix. They told me they couldn't and offered no other solutions or advice as to how it could be fixed. I just wasted an annual subscription on an app that can't load workouts.
Great Features
Love the ease of tracking and even without smart generation this app is worth it
Not Great
I create my own workouts. If you do that, the app smart shuffles or “helps” you and changes all the exercises and reps you entered. Now I have to change it all back. Whats the point of entering it in the first place then?
Great App!
So far this app is pushing me to do harder more sensible, disciplined workouts!
Best Workout Tracker, Period!
As someone who has been working out for almost a decade, I’ve tried many apps to log my workouts, track my progress, and do it all in convenience.
None have come even remotely close to this app. Being able to set multiple programs, multiple gyms with equipment availability and base your workouts on them, have them provide you a coached program or make your own, and the general great customer service are all reasons why this app is the number 1 workout tracker app out there, in my opinion.
The team is amazing at taking in feedback and releasing improvements, at no additional cost!
And their use of AI in their features actually makes sense. It’s not shoved into areas in a way that feels forced, but actually provides a benefit if you wish to use it.
As someone in the tech field, this app is so well made that it makes me want to work at the MacroFactor team 😂 I’m very grateful that this finally entered the market.
I can honestly say that the MacroFactor Food & Workout bundle was one of the best application purchases I’ve ever made in my life, and I don’t regret it one bit.
Keep it up team!!!

Great! But..
Love the app, the UI is so clean and satisfying. Please add more options for the smart generation feature!! There are only 2 splits available currently. Would love to see PPL, PPLUL, or even custom splits that the app can generate for you.
Just a tracking app
I really like Jeff Nippard programs so when I saw the app could generate programs for you based on the amount of time, equipment available and goals, I thought it would be great.
But for now, it is mostly a workout tracking app that is more convenient than your Notes app but there are free ones that can do thar.
I cannot recommend the program generation for now as it ends up planning identical exercises in a row (machine lateral raise followed by dumbbell lateral raise) and does not handle well the volume per muscle group.
I really hope it gets better in the future

Love the app, but it’s missing one major thing
First, the good things. This app is incredible in terms of ease of use and descriptions. The demo videos are top notch, and the use of intensifiers is very well done.
The bad news is that outside of programs that I manually build I can’t get much use out of the app so I rarely use it. The reason for that is because the smart program builder will only create full body or upper/lower splits. This is a deal breaker for me because I train 6 days a week and neither of those are feasible for me to run and be able to recover from. If there were options such as bro split, ppl, pplUL, Arnold split, etc. I would log every single workout here because I love the rest of the app, but unfortunately due to this constraint I’m unable to use it

Worth the Subscription
This app is everything I wanted from a training program. I had been using Jeff Nippard’s programs and the excel trackers on my phone which was fine, and I made progress for sure over a year, but this app truly is a godsend. I am able to load the programs I use from Jeff into the app, but also have custom built training programs based on time commitment as well as get demos for every exercise. I cannot recommend this enough.

Just stopped working today
Been enjoying this app for a few months, today it is just a black screen. Oh well.
So far so good!
I’ve been using the app for about 2 weeks now. Setup was easy and intuitive, the workouts feel intentional and aligned with my goals, and so far the recommended rep/weight targets have been pretty spot on relative to my RPE. It’s been a nice mix up from my usual programming. Give it a shot!
Not there yet
The app is easy to use and helpful to log in your workout.
On the downside, extremely repetitive workout suggestions and only two splits offered (full body and upper/lower). Definitely need some more work. Also really wrong in estimating how much you can lift, if you do a max one week of 70kgx10rep with 0 rir, it will expect you to be able to do 75 or 80kg the following week. Sorry but that's really not how things work.

Flawless
I’m not a review person but you can tell this app is so thoughtfully designed at every step. Works perfectly for everything you could possibly need and looks amazing doing it. From the clean design, the ease of use, to the videos for almost every exercise. There isn’t a single missed detail!
Takes the Guesswork Out of Strength Training
I’m really impressed with MacroFactor Workouts so far! I love that it takes the guesswork out of my strength training by giving me a structured program with specific sets, rep ranges, RIR targets, progression, recovery days, and even planned deloads. I completed my first workout today and loved being able to track everything as I went. The app is easy to follow at the gym and shows exactly which muscles I’m training. I already use MacroFactor for nutrition, so having my nutrition and strength training organized this well feels like the perfect combination for my fitness goals. Excited to see my progress over the next several weeks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great app - bad service
I loved the app and had the free version that came for members of MacroFactor. When they discontinued the free trial I couldn’t even log in anymore without paying. All I wanted was to download the workout data or even just see it to keep track of what I’d done but they locked it behind a paywall. I get not letting me use the app for workouts but taking your data from you and then holding it hostage unless you pay for it is a greedy bs move and makes me lose respect for Jeff for doing it.

Didn’t know you played like that Jeffrey
Absolutely smashed me to bits. Bent me right over and progressively overloaded me
