I loved this app for the most part. I found the workouts fun and challenging. However, I was injured doing the cable/barbell curl with palms facing down. This exercise is extremely strenuous on the tendons, ligaments and muscles around the elbow. With all the other exercises working the same area it was easily overwhelmed. I ended up with tennis elbow on both elbows. It was very painful and it took me approximately 11 months to fully recover. Sad to say I am terrified to start this app again.

Could be a lot better
I really wanted to like this app but I find a lot of problems with it that are more frustrating than helpful. For one, you have to have the app open to use the timers, ie. doing the warm up or a cardio workout. I prefer to watch a show or videos when I do cardio so it was kind of annoying that I couldn’t. Also, the app crashed several times when I was in the middle of a weight training workout and when I re-opened the app all my progress was lost so the only option was to re-start the workout, again, super annoying when you’re more than halfway through the workout! Also, there is no option to swap out an exercise for something low impact. I have an injury that prevents me from doing any type of jumping and I had to research alternatives for jumping jacks, mountain climbers, etc. on my own because the app didn’t provide any guidance. And my least favorite thing about the app is that you can’t skip a specific set and come back to it. My gym is relatively busy with limited weight equipment and there were times where I had to wait almost 20 min to do a set because the app wouldn’t let me skip and come back to it. Overall, I like the concept of this app and enjoyed the weekly calendar and the exercises, but I found a lot of flaws that I couldn’t look past and annoyed me, which made using it less enjoyable. Maybe if the app was free or less than $20/month I would have stuck with it! -
It’s good but needs improvement
I got this app bc of all the buzz and great reviews! This app is very confusing, I’m very tech savvy I used to work with computers and cell phones so I’d say I know more about technology than the average person. When you first open the app it has all these sections ( post baby, flow resistance, power, etc....) I thought I had to do all of those as part of the program. When I first signed up I chose the BBG so I was so confused as to why all these other workouts were coming up! So I figured that out and then the workout program I chose is specifically for at home where you don’t need equipment . So when it’s telling me to jump rope I don’t have that and I’m in my house, and telling me I need a bench I can’t do those workouts either. And then I press for alternatives and all of those include the equipment I don’t have too. This is very frustrating so I have to do complete alternatives. Lastly, some of these workout don’t have easier options. I hurt my back recently and some of these exercises I can’t do yet and it gives no easier or back friendly alternatives. And sometimes this is the entire workout so it’s really a bummer. I mean even if you guys included a Pilates based program that would be great for the back. So on those days I go on the Fit Radio app which is an amazing alternative and have multiple different options so even if your hurt they still have a workout for you. -
free trial isn’t free
Dispute canceling in under 7 days I just discovered that I have been billed even though I rec’d confirmation in the app that I had cancelled the FREE trial - I even did it before because I realized I wasn’t able to find the time and couldn’t justify the monthly cost. I work. I have kids. I know with completely certainty that I canceled and got the app even telling me that it acknowledged my “free” trial was canceled - now I just discovered they have been charging me. Not only are they robbing budget I don’t have they are robbing me of time tracking down the refund. If you were proper you would make it a true FREE trail and ask for credit card info only after the trail period if someone willingly opts in and don’t cheat and trick!!!!! The customer service reply is that they can’t issue a refund because of the sneaky way they require you to opt in for auto renewal through the App Store. I canceled in app and it gave me with completely certianty the sense I had been canceled and wouldn’t be charged - after discovering I was charged they say they can’t refund. What they can do is issue a free trial and then have you opt in to pay - this is a total scam and they are thieves that created a very sneaky and unethical free trial. I can’t believe not only have they charged me I have to keep pushing for a refund. Customer service isn’t acknowledging how sneaky they are. I have 3 small children. They are robbing this budget from them. -
Dishonest and misleading when canceling
I loved that this app offered a free trial before having to pay for the subscription, because in my opinion, it’s a pretty expensive subscription. The app turned out to not be a great fit for me, so I canceled before the trial was up so I wouldn’t get charged...or so I thought. I went to “manage my profile” and scrolled down to the bottom and clicked “CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION” at which point a big pink pop-up said “SUBSCRIPTION CANCELED” and then asked me to choose a reason for leaving. It then took me to iTunes where nothing on the page indicated that I needed to do anything further. Today I saw on my bank account that I had been charged for the first month’s subscription, so I did a little investigating, and even though the app has a big pink pop-up telling you “SUBSCRIPTION CANCELED” it turns out you have to scroll all the way down on the App Store page to CONFIRM the cancellation. Yes, it’s my mistake for not reading the fine print beneath the “SUBSCRIPTION CANCELED” but I feel it’s extremely misleading and dishonest wording on behalf of the Sweat app. How about “CONFIRM CANCELLATION THROUGH THE APP STORE” or “BEFORE YOU CONFIRM ON THE APP STORE, tell us why you’re leaving.” Or even a simple “ALMOST DONE” would have worked. $20 may not be a big deal to some, but it’s still $20 I could have happily used elsewhere in my budget. But now I’m just out $20 for an app I won’t use this month. Very annoyed.

I have been using the app for almost two years now, and have always been happier with the content and design rather than the functionality - it's always been buggy for me. But tonight I got to the gym and the app won't start. I tried logging out and back in, couldn't even log back in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting my phone - nothing worked. Now I am logged out of a service I paid a yearly subscription for, a global service without 24/7 global support. Shame!

Normally I love this app but it has been down all day with no information regarding when the issue will be fixed!
-
App stopped working! I got error on launching. Reinstall didn't help!!! Pleas fix it asap!

App is incredibly glitchy. I've spent the last hour trying to get into the programs to see what's available after being immediately charged, no 7 day free trial. I'm yet to be able to log into the app without an error message, tho it has allowed me to access my profile a few times. Won't save any edits made to profile. Have reinstalled and restarted phone multiple times. Incredibly disappointing for $20, given the expense and quality of other fitness apps.

Buggy, intuitive, strange features
I am 6 weeks through BBG 1.0 on this app. I also completed the same program a year ago using this app. Pros: the workouts are good and I like the interface you get while doing the circuits Cons: the calendar is buggy and unintuitive - you basically have to schedule workouts one by one from the workout page, not from the calendar page; you can't select a day on the calendar and add a workout from there unless it's the recommended one, which you only get as an option if you have opted in to the recommended schedule. additionally, you can only mark a workout complete on the current day you're using the app, not retroactively, which is frustrating if you forgot to record LISS or if the app bugs out and doesn't record. separately, the Nutrition and Community pages are not useful and seem like a waste of space on the app. and finally, the instructions for each exercise are these long sentences and sometimes paragraphs for each step and the video of the exercise just keeps playing while you're trying to read the instructions, rather than showing an image or isolated part of the exercise that aligns with each step.

Disappointed
This app is extremely frustrating and not worth the money when you can easily go to Instagram and find a workout routine. I love that I can see the demonstration of the workout. However, it jumps immediately to the next workout with the clock still ticking meaning I’m wasting time watching what I need to do and trying to grab equipment suddenly. You can pause it, but how is that helpful to cover up the workout I’m trying to watch before completing it myself? I’m sure it’s great when you’ve been doing the program for awhile and know the routine. Also, I’d assume that while it has a trainer talking and a timer going it would notify me when 30 seconds is up on a certain workout like a plank? When I look to start the cool down routine, it just starts the workout over! The workouts are hard for beginners even though it’s ‘beginner’. I have terrible knees and I look for alternatives when it comes to knee ups, so I waste more time on the clock trying to find something else to do. “Alternative” just suggests something more challenging. You definitely have to figure out on your own how to guide yourself through the app as well as the workouts. The community board is useless trying to search for specific questions. As for the ‘progress’ not everyone cares to take pictures, it’d be great to track weight progress and measurements w/o requiring a photo. -
Not user friendly
This app frustrates me to no end! I have the original Kayla pdf workouts so I’m already familiar with the program and decided to try the app because of the timing feature and demonstrations of the workouts but the app is SO CONFUSING. I started my workout on a saturday but the app is set on a monday-sunday schedule. I decided to work out and record it anyway and on monday it reset itself!! So annoying. This makes tracking my progress virtually impossible unless i work out on their schedule. There is also no option to pause the workout and the app doesn’t tell you what equipment you need beforehand. So when the next workout comes up and I need to go grab that dumbbell I can’t pause the app and lose time. I also wanted to restart a specific workout because I ran low on time and I wanted to complete it but the app forces you to move on. Also during the warm-up if you don’t keep the app open the timer pauses so if you ate listening to music and forget to go back to the app it doesn’t time and during the warm up you can’t see what workouts are coming up next without exiting. This is just such a poor user experience I would rather just time it myself and cancel this subscription. There isn’t enough value here and too high of a learning curve and it just doesn’t work as expected. I’m so disappointed. The app needs to be redesigned.
