Reviews for BodBot AI Workout Planner

On a Pixel phone (Android) the interface is not intuitive to use. You have to scroll down or ask for more info to understand the exercise it is telling you to do. I also had issues removing or adding exercises. There is also no functionality to add exercises that are not in the app. No free text or way to record anything the app doesn't have stored as an exercise. If you want to modify your routine you need to select from exercises the app has.

I've had this app for a long time now, and I wanted to update my review that I had made a couple years ago. What is great about this app is that while you do get some great features with the premium subscription, such as nutrition tracking, the free version still has everything you need for a solid start to getting in shape. They offer a variety of goals, including training for certain sports, and I love the amount of customization that this app offers over others!

Amazing app! I started out motivated to exercise, and quickly realized what a chore it is to find what workouts to do with no equipment as a regular routine. It was such a pain I started to dread that portion of it, accepting mediocre routines that I found online and highly modifying them to suit my needs. With this app though, I simply tell it I have no equipment, and it gives me great workouts every day that I choose to do them! I love this app and I'm finding it so easy to just get to it!

Great for beginners, gives you MANY alternatives for workouts with videos and written out for correct form. It can give you a preset workout routine if you don't know how, or have an hour to spare. Can adapt based on your input. And about 90% of the app is FREE (I don't use the dietary stuff anyway). Only complaints I have is () I'd like the ability to have a negative weight option for "assisted" variations of some workouts () and it doesn't save your "performance last time" correctly.

I got this when I went into quarantine, but I would have used it anyway. Price is comparable to the cheapest gyms, which I like. It's been great about understanding the equipment I have access to, but I wish I could clarify my weight range for dumbbells. Docking an entire star for the outrageous photos that are included for workouts. No woman works out with full makeup and pursed lips. As an average woman just trying to stay fit, I find this condescending.

I've used BodBot for a couple of years and have sadly decided to cancel my membership. The app features are fantastic, and I'd recommend this app to anyone just starting to work out. However, exercises on machines are just far too limited. Even many very basic machines like leg extensions aren't an option. The gym is full of machines that I'm not using because they're not supported in the app, and that's unfortunately become a deal breaker for me. If these were to be added, I'd likely come back.

I have been using this app for a few weeks and I really like it. I am not an exercise buff and needed a boost. I'm 60 years old and female. Low metabolism and overweight. I really like how it adjusts the workout level for me. The only complaint that I have so far is that the food inventory is minimal. That may be the newness of the app. It has kept me somewhat motivated, which for me, says a lot. Oh, and it connects to my fitbit to record steps and sleep. Pretty cool.

I use this app everyday and have premium membership. I really like the app but it could do with some refinements. - It is difficult to know what the next day’s exercises will be, even after completing a session as the exercises seem to change more than once over the day (even if options are not changed). Even opening the app on the same day in morning does not guarantee the same exercises will show later. Can be a bit frustrating when planning out best time to get equipment or order of exercises. - It would be great if the app remembered added exercises, reps and weights for the next time. Also when you change amounts while doing exercises, it would be good if this was remembered rather than the original reps/weights. - The amount of time for exercises seems off. I have tried with and without rest timer etc but a 50 min session usually takes about 30 mins. If I go over 60 mins it seems to default to one or two exercises taking 10 mins at most. I am not rushing things either…I don’t think! - At some points the app, half way through a session, will change all the exercises and not have the ones already completed showing. Anyway, thank you for keeping me fit!

I have been using bodbot for about half a decade, it's great. I have several suggestions that I'd like to submit, but I won't get into here. The app is is good, especially the paid version. I supplement a lot of the lacking areas with other programs like google Fit, strava, garmin Connect, and 1rm tracker - it is not a one-stop shop, but probably best on the market. Strongly recommend!

I just LOVE the customation even the basic app offers without any purchases. You can customize to your goals, how long or intense you want a workout, plus what equipment you have so the exercise doesn't ask you to perform anything you lack equipment for. Or you can stick to basic body resistant exercises. LOVE it! I recommend it to all my friends.

Would be 5* if I could purchase the premium exercise portion WITHOUT the clunky, worst food tracker I've ever experienced. I LOVE the premium workouts; adaptable, customizable, scheduling... Excellent. The food tracker search is a joke after having used the free version of Cronometer. It's search isn't consistent, showing different, unrelated things, in different order, when doing the same search twice. If I could choose just the workouts I would renew. As of now, nope. Needs slight price cut

Great app. Few minor annoyances. I recommend adding an option to go back after completing a set. I often forget to adjust the weight when that weight increment isnt available and want to go back to adjust it, but once you enter set rest, that set is in stone. Another thing is this bug that won't allow adaptive workout because "no connection" when I obviously have connection.

Just tried it for the first time. Great app even without paying. Easy to use, customizable for whatever equipment you have, tailors to your difficulty, and has built-in times for cool-downs. 5th Star would be if they will it a watch app and/or integration with body sensors (myZone, Google, whatever). I prefer not to be starting at my phone while I work out so that would be a great addition.

I stepped away from the app for a while, but recently came back because I like the stretching and mobility exercises. great for that. but the app is very buggy. if you leave the app, the timer keeps running and doesn't alert you to the end of a set/rest. coming back to the app, it's navigated to another page. connected to health connect, but still doesn't import nutrition. UI is outdated, but I don't mind it if bugs weren't so prevalent.

I have mixed feelings about this app. I have been using it about for about three years, both free and paid versions. I have used it for workouts at home, with access to bands, stability ball, pull up bar and gym rings; home with no equipment; gym; and swimming pool. I have always struggled with issues where the instructions and video/ pictures don't always match. Quality of workouts can vary dramatically and swimming workouts are non-existant, even after years. Which is frustrating.

Didn't like it. it just shows pictures for the different exercises and you need to figure out the motions yourself. You can click on each picture to see the video how it should be done, but that breaks the flow of the workout when I need to stop and watch a video before reach exercise. Other workout apps do it right when they show animation/video of the exercises during the exercises, not in a separate screen.

Update: After paying to unlock all the features, the app falls way short of expectations. Routines are good for beginners or rehab only. The nutrition log gets annoying, no good way to save meals you eat all the time. The workout tracking UI is a cluttered mess of venn diagrams and near unreadable bar graphs. Lots of excersises, not enough filters to find any you need. Does not respect equipment limitations, like plates available. Lots more, but not enough space to list it.

Update: 3 for Customer service got back to me quickly. I was thankfully able to get a refund after all. They were very helpful. The limitations of the app still remain such as the limited options and visibility in the nutrition section. The alt exercises are still only increased difficulty and still include exercises that don't work the same muscle group as the original. They said they would take these issues into consideration. For now its not a helpful app for me but maybe if they work on it.

Overall a really good app that does pretty much everything I'm looking for from a workout app. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement (for instance, it'd be great to be able to make custom meals or have repeatable foods in the nutrition section or make it quicker and easier to add or remove rest days) and the user interface is a little buggy and not intuitive. However, The feature set is good enough that it doesn't matter, and the workouts have been a good mix.

I tried several fitness apps before landing on BodBot, and this was the only one that was both comprehensive (combines fitness, nutrition and sleep data in one app) and had the flexibility and customizability that I was looking for. It does take a little bit of setting up, but it can draw sleep and activity data from a separate tracker, accepts custom nutrition data on whatever meals or snacks you like, and then puts all that data together to build your workout.
