Long time user now disappointed
Updated app isn’t great
Feedback from a longtime user
The app itself feels clunky and less flexible than it used to be. Previously, I could easily switch between home and gym versions of a workout or adjust between beginner and intermediate levels. That flexibility mattered. Some days I’m especially sore, returning after time away, or simply need to modify my workout. Removing those options makes it harder to stay consistent.
The same is true for home and gym workouts. One of the things I valued most about Sculpt You was the encouragement to work out wherever you could. If I made it to the gym, I could use the gym version. If I couldn’t, I could still complete a comparable home workout focused on the same goals. That made the program practical and helped remove the all-or-nothing mindset that can derail consistency.
There are also basic user-interface issues that make completing a workout unnecessarily frustrating. For example, when entering a weight during a set, especially during a superset, the keyboard doesn’t close or move out of the way properly. This can force the user to back out of the superset, enter the weight, and then reopen the superset to continue. Small workflow issues like this interrupt the workout and make the app feel unintuitive rather than seamless.
I recently returned after a couple of years away and paid for a month because I hoped the original flexibility was still part of the experience. I was surprised by how different the app felt and how similar it now seems to many other fitness apps.
The challenges also appear to have changed. They’re available to start at any time and seem more like self-directed programs than true monthly community challenges. The original shared monthly format created accountability and the feeling that everyone was working toward something together. Making them available on demand may be more convenient, but it loses much of that community motivation.
I’m also concerned about how difficult it is to cancel a subscription. After searching throughout the app, I couldn’t find any way to cancel. The only option I could locate was buried in the online web version, which users are being told will soon be discontinued. If there’s another cancellation method, it isn’t clearly communicated or easy to find. Making it easy to subscribe but difficult to locate the cancellation option feels wrong and potentially deceptive to users.
I’ve genuinely loved Sculpt You in the past, so this feedback comes from wanting to see it succeed. At its current price, though, I can’t justify continuing to pay the same amount I would for other fitness apps when the features that originally made Sculpt You valuable to me are no longer available, the basic workout experience isn’t very user-friendly, and managing the subscription isn’t transparent.
The new update ended it for me
New app
UI update is not user friendly
Just deleted it, won’t be back.
too many app issues
Love the app but…
Hoping with the next update the bugs are fixed!
