Fitbod: Gym & Fitness Planner

Without the app and its ability to be modified with all movements, I would not have had the progress I’ve attained over the past year. Strength and conditioning is my profession. I just don’t like to program my own workouts. So, Fitbod takes that responsibility. I just show up, follow the plan and watch my performance and fitness improve. Nice work Fitbod!

I enjoy the app, though my main concern is the need for an internet connection to use it. More features should work on the device when offline. Please allow us to download assets. Some gyms I visit lack internet, and my cellular signal is weak, so I cannot view exercise videos, my history, or trends, or even create a workout from my plan. When I attempt this, the message reads “looks like you’re offline, so today’s workout may differ from your plan.” Otherwise, the app works well with a connection.

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

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

Very good for progression building, but the UI struggles communicating between the app and Apple Watch. Constantly desync. It does the job, it could do it better.

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

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.

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this app. It has literally been one of the foundational things that helped me lose 72 pounds over the last year. It has pushed me to be bigger better and stronger than I’ve ever pushed myself in my entire life. however, this latest update seems to have completely scaled the app back to where it is not scaling reps correctly anymore. It is no longer pushing me and the insights that it gives are completely useless. If you’re going to use an AI assist thing it should at least tell you the reason why am I loading or deloading because I have a Max lift coming up or because I struggled with something last time but it just tells you silly nonsense that doesn’t assist with anything. You guys really need to rework this last update. My workouts are not as good as they used to be so now I’m fighting them every day checking histories to see what i should push. This might drive me away from this app if it is not fixed somewhat soon.

The workouts are good when you start but then as you go is significantly increases your weight, reps and sets in between just one session.

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.
