This app has completely reinvigorated my motivation and progress in the gym! Was getting apathetic and going through the motions, not really tracking, and making little to no progress. This app provided a very user-friendly way to track that I actually use! You can make your own custom workouts or they have a ton of great pre-made program by very reputable people in the field. 4 weeks into Albert Nunez's program and have increased weight or reps every session.
Reviews for Boostcamp: Gym & Fitness Coach
I like the programs and the setup, but the app is pretty buggy. Half the time when I try to hit a button or enter a number there's just no response. I have to force stop and reopen several times to get it to do anything. Often I'm unable to enter my numbers until enough time has passed that I've done a few sets and already forgotten how many reps I did in the first set.
What a great app, searching for this for the longest. Store is flooded with so many apps, but at a cost, or worse, a monthly cost, this app is mostly free (just some paid programs for the more advanced), crowdfunded, and simple programs for someone that just wants a plan to follow to quickly start. Small minor bugs could have been forgiven but it's minus a star because this REALLY needs an offline mode, most gyms have horrible reception and this app won't work without data!!
I love this app and the simplicity takes all the thinking out of going to the gym for me. You can watch form videos without navigating away from your workout which I love! It's helped me stay consistent for once. For the devs: It would be awesome if there was a pregnancy lifting routine added as I just found out I'm pregnant and I'd like to continue lifting but safely. I bought the year just before finding out and now I feel like I wasted my money for the year.
I have tried many workout apps, some I have a lifetime membership to. I really enjoyed the use of this bootcamp app; it allows me to do things that the other apps cannot. The way you can plan your own workouts, I love the templates. I would ask for one upgrade and that would be to allow super setting certain exercises within the workout plan. Will be using for a while, maybe Go Pro, we will see after this 8 weeks workout program!
Had an issue linking my premium subscription to my account. Couple of quick emails with support and everything was ironed out. App is also great. But if you're curious if they're just trying to take your subscription fee and leave you hanging - that's definitely not the case. It seems the meat of the app is behind the subscription, but it's worth the price and comes with stellar support.
App was fine until UI change, makes it near impossible to see progression scheme of a program you've already started. Also no option to resume a workout if you accidentally click "finish", you can only go back and edit it. I'll be sticking to paper. Update: tried again, used for a few months, this app has less features than a Google spreadsheet and constantly begs you to buy Pro. 0/10 do not install
Works as intended for logging sets/reps/weight, but often when I try to write notes I get an error, the app reloads, and then the text field I was editing cannot be changed. The notes for other exercises can still be edited, but this often happens for 2-3 exercises per session. I highly value taking notes during my workouts so this is a major issue for me. Edit: Updated the app and have not had the above error since. However, occasionally the app reloads when in use which is slightly annoying.
Overall the app is good with a great selection of routines. The custom routines are where there are major issues though. As far as I can tell, there is no way to simply delete an exercise from a routine. This leads to you having to rebuild the entire routine from scratch. You also cannot delete sets from an exercise that you picked. What's the point of making everything permanent? The experience is just frustrating. Notes below worked! Thanks! Would be great if this feature was more obvious :)
I love searching work outs and finding new programs and that they auto populate for me. I love having Demos right in the work out and all the other information and analytics. I dislike that the demo video crashes the app on first launch. I dislike the auto timer scroll wheel. It's a pain to get what I want. I'd rather just punch in a number. Set and weight data entry is slow and leads to inaccuracies. Overall this is a great app that needs a bit of polish to make it 5 stars.
