Bring back 3 & 4 day options!
I have been a consistent user and big fan of SBTD since 2022 and have raved about it to anyone who will listen for years! It is easy to follow, well organized, and will help everyone from beginner to experienced lifters get stronger without having to do their own calculations. The workouts are fun and variable. BUT! after the update I only see 5 day option. I’m a busy mom, business owner, am 46 years old and want to lift but also be kind to my aging joints. The 3 day plan was PERFECT. PLEASE bring it back!

A game changer
I was first introduced to Meg’s programming through her pregnancy program, Plus 1. I credit it with physically comfortable (at least as much as possible…) and my rapid c-section recovery. After postpartum I went back to my old Hypertrophy app that was really more designed for men and felt achey and unbalanced. I was stalling out, tired, and BORED. I gave STBTD a try and it has improved my fitness, mindset, and physical appearance. The diverse and fun programming is ever changing and keeps you progressing without getting bored. I love this program.

Life changing
Growing up in the 90’s as a female meant I spent the better part of my adolescence and young adulthood chasing skinny through hiit, bb workouts, random YouTube workouts, endless running (ugh), and whatever else the voices around me said I needed to do. Exercise was a necessary evil used to force my body into compliance. Dreaded, always left me feeling weak and defeated, wondering if there was another way. Enter SBTD. Lifting weights has changed my life. This app makes it so easy for a beginner to start lifting- everything is laid out perfectly, lifts are all tracked ensuring you continue to progress, it’s literally open and go. After three years on SBTD I can say that I don’t ever see myself switching. I genuinely look forward to and love my workouts (what?!) and no longer see my body as an object to shrink but as a God given gift to be stewarded and strengthened. Thanks Meg and team for all you do- your work matters!

App is a pain.
Work outs are fine (nothing ground breaking or personalized) & they are easy to change out how ever you want, but the app itself has so many bugs way too often. If you’re not in the discord (which I hate discord) you’d never know what to do or how to fix things- example recently no one could log in, so we were told to delete & reinstall.. only for it to have more issues a day or so later. Will probably look for a better app after my year is up.

Badly Maintained App
So many bugs constantly!! Once my year is up I’m finding something else. It feels like every other workout I have to exit the app and reload for it to work! The workouts are great but I’m over it
Life changing
Been using this program weekly for 3 years because I don’t have to plan anything myself and I know I’m getting a top notch program. The app does everything - keeps a record, easily subs, gives written and video instructions, tracks progress, etc. I’ll never switch programs!
amazing!!
I absolutely love SBTD. I have been using it for two years, I love the workouts, love the video demonstrations for each movement and cues, love that you can substitute exercises, and it stores all of your data! No more notes on my phone with stats!
New App Update Obsessed
I love these workouts as a girl who loves a strength program. The new app update is amazing, the timer part portion was a huge issue I had with the previous app. Workouts are 10/10 and obtainable for any level. Highly recommend!
One request
Love the app and the workouts but please stop putting those videos in there that auto play with loud sound! I keep getting in trouble at work when I’m trying to log my workout 😩
Best App to Bring to the Gym!
As a 40 year old woman who wants to lift weights to get stronger and ensure I have enough muscle mass to carry my own groceries when I’m 90, I love this app! Even though I’ve been working out since I was 13, I still prefer to have a program to follow and a quick tutorial of the movement to watch and mimic. My phone case is a magnet, so I place my phone on the workout equipment I’m using, at eye level, to watch the tutorials as I work out.
I’ve tried many apps before this - Sweat, BeachBody, Hailey Happens, and even Tracy Anderson, and Stronger by the Day is the best app/program I’ve ever used. Here’s why:
1. You can listen to music (or just be in silence) at the same time you’re using this app because this app doesn’t have any sound! It’s brilliant. If you’re a highly sensitive person or just don’t need extra noise in your life, this app gets it.
2. There is a video and a detailed description for each move that you can make larger on your phone screen if you need it or make smaller, if you don’t need it. Brilliant.
3. There is a place to log each and every set including how many reps you did and, if applicable, how much weight you used.
4. The user interface is highly intuitive. You can easily choose how many days you want to workout, find substitutes for the workouts, set your program and be ready to jump in the minute you get into the gym.
5. You can decide whether you want to see a warmup up or not, other apps don’t give you a choice and most make you warm up or at least pretend you did, in order to move forward.
6. You can see all the moves and how the sets are structured before starting the workout (with some apps, the next move is a mystery).
7. Even the colors are calming.
Seriously, this is the best app to take with you to the gym. If you have any doubts, just try it out and walk into that weight section confident that you are not alone and will figure it all out, one move at a time!

The only program I can stick with
Incredibly comprehensive strength-based training program, phenomenal resources, and built-in progressive overload programming to make sure you’re making progress without you having to do a lot of calculations yourself.
Building back stronger
I have used this app on and off over the past 2 years. Last year I was not able to workout as much due to family matters but this is way back!!! I love that it offers an express and no weight. I love the new format and I’ve already made gains and feel great at 62.
Try this app you won’t regret it.

Love the workouts but the app is glitchy
I love the workouts and the information and everything, no complaints at all there. My only complaint is that there are constant glitches with the app in the almost one year I’ve been using it. It will quit suddenly, not log workouts, error codes, the videos at the beginning of a new unit never load and I will get stuck unable to view my workout for the day. I’ve had to totally uninstall a couple of times and lose my history. Not sure why the team can’t get the app to be stable, but i wish it was more reliable.

Exactly what i was looking for
Finally, I found a program that’s simple and straightforward, strength-focused, affordable, and with a great app that functions like it was actually designed by someone who works out and knows the features people want and need in the moment. So glad I found it!
Such a great resource!
I’ve been using this programming for years, from when it was just published on a website to now. Meg and her team have made weight training easy, and
approachable! Take the guess work out of walking into the gym and lifting. Continual improvements in my lifting and the app interface. Thank you!

Great Routine!
I absolutely love this app! I feel like the workouts are well balanced working all muscle groups. I love that I can just follow along and not have to figure out a routine myself.
Best powerbuilding app
I like that the workout program is constantly changing and there are many options for Home gym setup
Always improving
You can’t beat the price point! I’ve been using SBTD for years and it’s generally always improving and as pretty decent costumer service. I the best feature is having 3, 4, and 5 day “Gym” “Express” and “Bodyweight” programs you can switch between based on your needs each week. Some missing features include a built in calculator (it does calculation for you but when you’re changing things up it’s challenging), choose your own start day— Day 1 used to be a U.S. Sunday and it moved to Monday a long time ago, which makes it a little less accesible to folks to need to get their week organized on the weekends. It has a great exercise substitution library, and I’m hoping they add an option to add a sub they don’t already have in their library. Lately, I’ve seen some new exercises that I don’t think are appropriate for an app used by a lot of self-taught amateurs, so it’s important to approach each exercise with discretion.

Good workouts - proper strength stuff, lots of adaptations
I did have an online coach but needed a change and something with a bit more flexibility. Love the options for workouts (3,4,5 days), gym, express and body weight and ability to switch out any activity with a menu of alternatives. Instructions are clear, app is easy to use. Definitely recommend
FINALLY seeing results
I have been lifting for years without any real purpose or direction, then I discovered Stronger by the Day! In the past two years I finally have direction and purpose in the gym! I have muscles that can be seen! I am in fact truly stronger!
