Fitbod: Gym & Fitness Planner

App is not working all day. What is wrong with it?

Most recent update broke the Apple Watch sync. And now the app no longer syncs heart rate with your workout. Impacts the total amount of calories burned. This has happened again and again it’s honestly really tiring and I’m going to cancel my subscription because of it. With every new update they break existing features, it’s very frustrating. Not sure if they are vibe coding things and reducing dev staff but QA process needs to be dramatically improved.

I’ve been using the app for over a year, and while I have really enjoyed it, a recent update is causing me a lot of problems. I am unable to change my training split. I sent a screen recording to support but kept getting unhelpful replies from an AI bot. I liked the “notes” function to save notes on my setup on different machines, but those no longer save/appear. Also, not sure if the AI trainer function changed, but it was much more helpful before. Overall not happy at the moment.

I’ve been using the app for over a year, and lately it’s becoming less stable. For example, if you create a custom workout out with two cardio options it doesn’t work. Secondly, why are there now multiple sets of cardio? Like when you select a weight exercise

Fitbod is no longer working with my Apple Watch! I hate carrying my phone around in the gym. Fix this bug fast please!!!

So far the app looks good. I’m on day 6. You only get 1 week to try and that’s not enough. Update Oct 2026.I paid for a month to give it more of a chance. Seems buggy and has a very confusing interface. It’s wasted two workouts plus frustration and time. Good luck with support. So far I got an AI answer.

Seems to be an issue on their side, probably vibe-coding server side… This wasn’t an issue until recently. Very frustrating.

I’ll try to put my weight and height and when I put next it will just freeze my entire app making me reset it and just for it to do the same thing.

Watch app keeps freezing and that’s the only reason I have this damn app

Was already overpriced garbage with useless “suggested workouts” you can’t turn off. Would’ve dropped it long ago I just didn’t want to lose my history. Now it won’t work on my Apple Watch and they added AI bloat to useless features…

Doesn’t work on Apple Watch though

I used to really like this app because it paired well with the Apple Watch, but now the app no longer works. Have tried updating phone and watch but still does not work because the app crashes. Will edit the review once resolved.

Love this app and being able to log sets using the watch but that was lost with the latest update

Watch says to open app but the app is already open on the iPhone. Then it closes when you try to reopen on the watch.

App glitches more often than not. Workouts don’t always feel like they flow well together.

The calories never match what my watch or other apps track, and seems random. I can do a heavy leg day, hit a 90 min, 18k weight moved and it registered 190 calories burned but do a 40min upper routine that I barely broke a sweat on and it says I burned 700+ calories. Couple that with glitching out in the middle of a set or workout and it’s pretty frustrating to pay so much for an app that is barely subpar.

Tried to set up an account and reset the password 3 times! Still didn’t work,trash!

Won’t reload my bench press weights also needs AI to search and ask questions about specific lists why and which would be better

The app asks what equipment I have, but then recommends exercises that require equipment I never selected. I specified that I have one kettlebell, and it suggested exercises requiring two kettlebells and a weight plate.

My complaint is when I try to add my weight and my height it just sends me to the website to go and download the app instead of sending me to a place where I can change my height and weight I can’t do that at all again it just sends me to some website and I can only login just to get sent to the website to download the app again. I just don’t understand why this issue isn’t fixed and why it’s working this way. Could you guys please resolve this issue? Thank you.

The swap feature is not working correctly. It just reverts back to the current workout instead of swapping within the training split as intended.

Overall a solid app. Has all the basic functionality and a couple more advanced features you'd want from an exercise app. I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 because there's a plethora of UX/UI behavior issues I've run into over the years that have somehow never been fixed that degrades the experience and makes it frustrating at times.

This is the buggiest app I’ve ever used. Here is an idea - test the update before publishing. Now I can’t listen to Spotify while using FitBod. Eye roll.
