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
← Back to BODi Fitness, Workouts, & GymEver 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.
Good recommendation if you want to get in better shape and actually do the workouts. Wish the meal plans and charts was added for some of the programs. Maybe I didn't find it in the app but would be a nice touch up if it was also included. Overall it has been great. Can work out anywhere, anytime. It all depends on you. And how committed you are in getting a better health life. And for the people that actually work out, there is a good line of warm ups you can do. My personal fav' T25.
I love my Bodi app. It gives me access to endless workouts. I am unhappy though, woth the fact that it does not log all my workouts, it shows that some are incomplete after I finish completely. Also, my previous programs that I have completed have started to disappear. So I have no record of completing them and also, if I want to go back to do extras or bonuses that I had not done, there is no way to see which ones I have not tried since it appears that none of the workouts were ever done.
Well..they have a boat load of videos and no reason we should be coach potatoes. They have a lot of different offerings and certainly each person can find something. However, finding the workout a long time ....then, you cannot save it to a favorite folder. Each time you have to go look for the workout(s) you like but even the search functions aren't so great so your video won't pop up unless you remember how you found it in the past. Sad!
Great app, awesome workouts, TOO EXPENSIVE. I've been a fan for YEARS - used to get the videos then switched when I discovered the app. I really hate to leave but I just got a notice my yearly payment is due at the end of the month and it's gone up almost $100! That's insane. I don't understand how Beachbody expects anyone to be able to afford that right now. I can only hope they realize that and do the right thing for their many loyal customers.
The app disconnects from casting a lot. I wish the # of people working out was the first thing that you see at the top when logging in instead of having to scroll WAY down. I wish the new Bodi experience/chat groups were available through the app. It's only been a week or two and all the emails are already tiresome as well as navigating the website. I would be more engaged in the dashboard if this was fully included within the app itself instead of a separate webpage that's hard to navigate.
I love, love, LOVE Beachbody!! I love the ability to workout whenever, wherever I want. My only issue with the app is that I had downloaded workouts for my weekend away. Then, I couldn't even log into my app when I was up in the mountains. I was a bit frustrating, and I hope it's fixed for next time I go camping.
The app is adequate and it has all the programmes that are on the regular Bodi website. I wish Bodi would add more strength training programmes with a 45 minute to an hour workout sessions. seems like the workouts are getting shorter and shorter. this is not acceptable to me. I also request that Bodi would start putting back the timers in their programmes to let people know how much longer the workout is and how long that set is. it seems to me that the production value has gone down.
works great on my Android phone - I appreciate the convenience of being able to take my workout out of the house. My reason for 3 stars instead of 5 is the big drawback of not being able to cast from the phone. I use to love being able to have the control on my phone (be able to pause or go back) while having the workout on the TV bc let's be honest you can't really see your workout on your phone - and it bothers me to have to connect my computer each time to the TV through the HDMI.
This app is my life. I use it every single day, several times a day. I would be lost without it. I get my workouts, my meditation, track my meals, my water intake, and my progress. BODi is my #1 most used app on my phone. I never have any tech issues on my phone, but once in a while I have trouble opening the app on my Roku. It usually just takes a quick reset and we're back up and running though. Love my BODi app.
I have used this app across multiple devices for years. It was fantastic up until this past week. I haven't heard been able to get the app to open in days. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried multiple devices. it won't function on my fire stick, tablet either cell phone etc. the app just had a dumb bell or a spinning motion. I've cleared cache etc. not working. so very sad, plus I am paying for an app I can't use 😕
