Reviews for Bodybuilding.com - Fitness App

This has been my go-to at home fitness app for over 5 years at this point. The workouts are great though, the trainers for the at home workouts are very motivating and do a great job explaining each movement and variations if necessary. Unfortunately, over the past year or so, the app crashes constantly and as of 3/31/24 - I can't log in at all... really disappointing for a paid subscription for an app that used to work flawlessly.

The new app has lots of potential. It looks nice and it should work well with tracking your workouts,but it doesn't. After each set you record the number and sometimes you have to go back to correct them. Well depending on the stage of when correcting the new number is not saved. At the end when looking at the summary the numbers are all wrong. Also, when building your own workout the interface is not smooth and it feels clunky. Also, won't save the picture

The sudden overhaul to the app completely ruined it. It erased all record of the program I was working on, and I had to start everything over from scratch. Several weeks of progress gone without any way to retrieve that data. It's now not nearly as intuitive to use, and there's no longer an effort tracker, which was useful for tracking progressive overload. Finally, the elliptical trainer doesn't have a set count down timer anymore, and its sets ask for the weight used. Why change everything?

The app was amazing until the last update... The U.I. is hardly user-friendly. It also allowed easy access to see your progress of weightlifting; that could be accessed within each individual workout. Also, the beeping to start each set interrupts my music. This is not to mention how loud it is in one's ears. I have reoccurring nightmares of the, "beep...beep...beep"

Been using it since 2018. The app was completely overhauled recently and it's now almost unusable. Nearly every feature that I found useful is gone (lifting history, a timer between sets, and effort scale for each set, easy to enter set info, etc.) I'll be cancelling my subscription and looking for something to better suit my needs. It has been my go-to workout app for 7 years, but no more.

I had used this app for years. It started off great, now it's not. An annual subscriber, it works less than 1/2 the time. Fails to load, stuck on the main logo page. If you can get past that, you're lucky and will see a wide range of workouts and plans which are great. The content is good, although it's slipped in years, the app though literally makes your subscription worthless.

this isn't an upgrade from the old app... it doesn't have drops sets/track drop sets, it doesn't display the next exercise at the conclusion of the last set, and you have to interact/hit a million buttons to conclude a set. the old app took less human input and gave more information. very frustrating especially after paying to just use the app. extremely lousy.

The Body Space/Fit app was an amazing app for working out. You could track your progress, workouts and network. It was pretty freaking amazing...and it was free! Now, you have to pay for an app that is so subpar, its laughable. Someone let the Good-Idea Fairy loose and screwed the whole thing up. Reinvented the wheel into a block...wth?!?! The app doesn't let you add programs to your profile, no calendar. It's clunky as hell, unless you want merch of course.

They transitioned from the BodyFit app to this app and the recipes and bonus video content of the programs I was following were removed. It's just strictly a workout app and an online store with nothing else to provide. It's been months since they did this transition but they haven't done anything yet to be sure that every program will include all the content included. Until they bring back all the features of the programs, my rating won't change.

Bodyspace was a great app. This push to monetize isn't even done well. Lost all the workouts tracked over the years. This app is more a supplement shop app with some workout plans attached. It should be the other way around. I'll gladly pay for the old bodyspace app. Whoever thought this was good ux to track workouts over the existing app should know how wrong they are.

I have this app so I can follow Hannah Eden's FYR and FYR2.0, where there's a new workout video each day. The exercise program is great, however, the app is useless to me because it no longer plays any of the videos! it worked fine last week. They better figure this bug out, or add them back in, otherwise I have no use for this and will be canceling my subscription.

I had been an avid user and fan of the Bodyspace app for years. The interface was clean. Finding and adding exercises to a workout was straightforward. Finding and adding programs directly to the calendar was so simple. The app was a perfect replacement for a notepad and pen. Everything that a more serious enthusiast could want. You abandoned it for this abomination you offered us. Please bring back Bodyspace. Remove social, store workouts locally to reduce overhead. It's better in every way.

The free version was great. Would have paid for that over what it is now. One workout will not end and always tries to resume when i open app. The program I used in past, I was on 2nd day of program and i almost done. I answer a text and all progress is gone when i come back. The app worked great when it was Bodyspace. Fire whoever changed it and revert back to the previous version and id pay the subscription.

Bodyspace was much better for workout tracking. Not giving more stars until there is feature parity and all my data is restored. Not being able to add/delete/move movements during an on going workout is frustrating as well as not being able to delete workouts. Moving between sets takes way too many button presses. After using for a bit the app is losing changes to weights and times, its an absolute mess. I used BB for more than 10 years, no more after this experience they've lost my business.

Paid a subscription. Haven't been able to sign into app for nearly five days. This exact thing happened a few months ago and I figured it was fixed. Nope. Not worth it. Update- APP IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. edit: few months later and this app doesn't work AGAIN. I am paying a subscription for this..... It will not load my workout and says I need to pay to access it. I'm already paying you!!!!! What is happening over there. SMH

I was a long time user of the previous app, bodyspace. this is supposed to be a replacement, but the features are seriously lacking. my stats didn't transfer over for most of the exercises. no support for rest pause sets or drop sets like the old app. changing time for timed exercises is frustrating, as you can't just put in the number. I gave it a shot and paid for the yearly subscription, but if they didn't update something, I'll need to find a new workout tracker.

The rework of this app is terrible. The menu doesn't hold your place. If you look at a workout, it resets and you have to find your place. When you end a days workout, it doesn't close and move to the next day. If you go back in to try to end the workout again, it deletes any saved information. I don't like the random people that pop up in the menu, with no way to turn it off. The exercise library is still useful, which is the only thing saving this app at this time.

Used to love it, but lately I cannot access my workout, It's a matter of fact, they disappear, it tells me I have to pay even though I have a yearly subscription. I have done everything, from cleaning caches, and cookies, n history, to deleting and reinstalling the up. Help please!! And with all the complaints I read and the company still not doing something to fix its issues, so sad.

I dont leave reviews often, so let that be a sign for how miserable this app is now. Navigating it is annoying. It doesnt track sets properly anymore, god forbid you do multiple sets, as it'll keep focus on just 1 workout and none of the others. It'll fire notifications on your rest time being up even when you're in the middle of a workout. unbelievable what this apps become considering how good it was before this update.

My phone updated the app overnight and whoever designed it should be fired. I lost all my progress, I can't just look at the overview workout anymore and have to follow along with the workout, nor can I manually complete a set or workout. On top of that, it's really buggy and has crashed on the 3x during a single workout; and of course it didn't save any of my progress or notes, so I had to waste a ton of time going back through each time and waiting to catch up killing my workout.
