Workout section is fantastic! All workouts in one place. But the groups section is terrible, which is the other half of app. Sometimes workouts log, other times they don't. The time a log or a post is posted is really just the time passed but that seems to change every time someone comments or likes the post. I can see what BB is aiming for: a social media for accountability, but the functionality of it is back about 10 years ago. Our coaches moved us to Facebook group for the time being.
Reviews for BODi Fitness, Workouts, & Gym
Ever since the BODi portion was added, my app has been lagging. I am not signed in to BODi, but it lags because it updates how many minutes are left in each and every BODi class. What a terrible idea for people who think they should be able to open the app and hit play instead of waiting for the app to update the classes I'm not taking. Also, a side note, super fancy compounded exercises serve less of a purpose than simple exercises or less compounded. You are the experts, you should know this.
I love having access to so many workouts but I have to go through my firestick bc the only other console I have is a Playstation which isn't compatible with BOD. It takes forever to load and most of the time I have to get out of it completely at least 2 times before it'll properly load. I wish they would make the app compatible with Playstation since it works with Xbox.
At least once a week (on Thursday), sometimes more, I get a network error message. The only way to get the app to work is to uninstall it and then install it again. VERY frustrating! Update: Changed to one star as I have had to uninstall and then install the app EVERY DAY since my last review due to the unknown network error. FIX THIS, PLEASE!!!
This app sucks. While I appreciate having something like this, sometimes it doesn't want to connect, other times I can't rewatch a video because it just closes out. First work on connections. Secondly, if I go back to a work out that I've finished allow me to start the video over. Thirdly, when I'm done with that video and I turn off cast, don't continue the video because then I will have to close out the program
I spend more time trying to get the dang thing to cast to my TV than I do actually working out!! I can cast from EVERY OTHER app but this one, it's hit or miss. The app connects ok, but the video won't play!! Once I FINALLY get it to cast I LOVE it, but geesh, I have to plan to add at least 15 minutes to my 20 minutes workout just to get the workout to play!!! And its NOT my internet connection, it's the app.
I have had Beachbody in the past and the app was always great to cast and use from the phone to TV. Just recently subscribed again, quit for a year, and now to just to pay all of this money to not be able to cast from my phone to TV. It works fine on just the phone but I don't want to workout on such a small screen. Really upset as to the technology that is lacking.
Since the 2 apps were integrated, I've had a lot of trouble. The app crashes EVERY TIME I try to access my group on my phone. Logging my workout is more difficult than it was before, especially adding comments. And my workouts don't automatically sync until the next day. The workouts load just as well as they used to, but for tracking and networking purposes, this app has been rendered pretty much useless.
I'm not a fitness buff and I don't like gyms or traditional workouts. With Beachbody, I can exercise at home, in private, whenever I want. The yearly subscription and mobile app is especially cool because you get 24/7 access to all of Beachbody's content. There's really diverse programs and trainers, so I'm never bored, and I can easily something that fits the time I have that day, even if it's only 5 minutes. Love all the mindfulness content too!
The workouts themselves are great, and I like that my workout is logged automatically when I finish. The search and filter functionality could be improved. I like how the BODi blocks subscribe you to the block and it's easy to get back to and know what your next workout is. Non block programs don't behave the same & you have to look at a PDF to find the correct next workout, which is not ideal. Also, I can't see my BOD group and react & comment on member activity. I can only do that on the web.
