1. [R1] 5/5 · US Keep moving and sweat’n!: I’m really enjoying this app and all the workouts it has to offer. One thing I’d like to see is an eating plan for women in their 40+ years of age. This would help give variety at all levels of fitness and stages of life.
2. [R5] 5/5 · US Don guess your workouts: I love that my workouts for the day/week are planned out for me. I don’t have to think about what to do! I love the programs too! I’ve done many of the strength plans and currently completing the postpartum plan.
3. [R6] 5/5 · US Barre with Britney (beginner): Amazing program! I hadn’t worked out since before my baby who is 1 year old now, and it has been a great program to build my strength and endurance, Challenge me, and sculpt my body with great ways to modify until my core got stronger.
4. [R12] 5/5 · US Motivating, Easy to Use & Fun!: Love having this app. There are so many different plans to bounce between and I love having something to guide me in “anything outside of cardio.” Cardio is always easy for me to plan out but the toning & strengthening, not so much. Sweat is awesome!!
5. [R4] 5/5 · US Mid year fitness challenge: I loved my first strength workout and the app is very user friendly and amazing.
6. [R7] 4/5 · US Amazing workouts that are easy to follow: Easy to understand
7. [R17] 5/5 · US Great app, finally got me exercising: I usually never bother reviewing things but this app is first thing that ever got me exercising consistently in my life. It’s so customizable with difficulty level, length of workout, and even lets you swap out individual moves in a workout which has allowed me to finally properly exercise while still accommodating injuries and my small apartment space.

8. [R23] 5/5 · US Awesome: This app is so easy to follow, and fits to my needs. Love it!!
9. [R3] 5/5 · US This app changed my life!: This app changed my life!
10. [R10] 5/5 · US Stronger: Great app that keeps you stay routine with strength workouts!
11. [R15] 5/5 · US SWEAT: I have been following Kayla since the original printed BBG days. She is a phenomenal trainer, very down to earth, and I have loved the inclusion of other types of training with other trainers. I have cycled through a couple of the programs (sometimes two or three times) and still find them to be challenging because I start with heavier weights or go through the rounds faster…all good things
12. [R104] 2/5 · US Won’t load!: I got a membership with them and lately it’s just not loading for me or letting me see my workouts. They really charge a lot for an app not to be working.
13. [R186] 3/5 · US Good programs bad app: I enjoy the structure of the programs. This is probably one of the few programs that create three day workout structures with other body, lower body and full body days. However, the app is extremely unreliable. There is no connection to my Apple Watch. You have to choose to either look up on the app or the watch. When I work out on the watch, the app turns off made a workout
14. [R277] 3/5 · GB Aaaaaaaa: Love the app when I can get in. FREQUENTLY crashes before it opens. Annoying.
15. [R313] 1/5 · GB The app constantly crashes: The app constantly crashes and I am not able to complete all the weekly workouts. Some days I cannot even open the app! It’s an expensive subscription and I had it now for over 5 years so I am very disappointed and just fed up with constantly having to try multiple times to open the app and complete a workout.
16. [R206] 1/5 · US Log in: I have paid for an account for years. I used the app yesterday; attempted to open today and I am logged out. It is only giving me the option of creating a new account and it will not let me log back into my account despite my paid subscription still being up to date.
17. [R231] 1/5 · US Update fail: I’ve had this app for three years. I got charged for my yearly subscription March 3. on March 22, I did my workout and the app prompted me with an update after the update. All of my information was lost. Wanted me to re-purchase the app and put in all of my information again even lost the program that I have been in for six weeks if you are reading this do not do the updates as I am n
18. [R238] 1/5 · US App Functionality is SO Bad: The app was already bad with not showing the correct exercises, not substituting the correct sets, and not tracking history correctly. I just updated the app hoping some of these things would be fixed and it logged me out, then when I logged back in all my progress is missing and it says my account expired, despite also showing I purchased a year in November. Whoever d
19. [R249] 1/5 · US Update wiped data: I have been using the app for years and the latest update deleted all my progress, streaks, and tracking. Very disappointed. May cancel.
20. [R32] 5/5 · US Love love love Sweat BUT…: I truly love this app. But I need a feature added. Back story, in 2023 I was training for the police department and needed to get in shape and used the app and meal plans religiously. But you took away the meal plan calendar, I felt like I lost the weight A LOT faster when your app had it all laid out for me: work outs and what I should eat every day. Can we have an opti
21. [R392] 1/5 · GB Lost value after removing the food plan: I’m very disappointed to open my app today and find the food planner has been removed after purchasing an annual subscription. It’s a good app as far as exercise programs are concerned, I enjoy using it for that. But I really loved the features that had daily meal suggestions and a shopping list, as it made the app unique and convinced me it was worth the
22. [R398] 1/5 · GB They removed the food plan: I’ve rated this app 5 stars ever since it was released, but they have hugely downgraded it by removing the food plan. There are barely any vegan recipes now, when there used to be a wide variety before. I could previously set my preference as vegan and have an excellent meal plan. There are like 4 breakfast meals if you search and none are vegan. Prior to this there w
23. [R461] 3/5 · GB A high price for such a buggy app: Really love the concept and how this was branded and advertised. The workout section is the best, really good range to select from and I like the way the workouts are formatted. There are so many issues though. The worst is the food planning aspect which is a good idea but really poorly implemented. It doesn’t even work, for example, I can’t scroll back to see pr
24. [R20] 1/5 · US Poor workout programming and scammy: I had canceled my subscription for this app after signing up for a one year plan months before it was supposed to renew, however, they still tried to charge my card for another year when it came close to the renewal date. The workouts also aren't well programmed and don't follow sound progressive overload principles.
25. [R118] 1/5 · US Impossible to deactivate subscription: It’s is extremely difficult to deactivate the subscription.
26. [R234] 1/5 · US Zero refunds: They don’t offer refunds even for accidental purchases.
27. [R353] 1/5 · GB Money being stolen from account: I had cancelled my subscription months ago and you are still taking money from my account, which is against the law. I have disputed all payments with my bank who have thankfully blocked all payments from being taken. Please can you stop taking my money otherwise I will be forced to take legal action against your company. I have proof of this.
28. [R93] 1/5 · US Not free: Don’t claim it’s free and it’s not stop luring to people don’t deserve a star for ur lies
29. [R178] 1/5 · US Preview: I find it incredibly frustrating that I can’t view the types of workouts without signing up. Why would I pay for something I can’t get some idea of? I’m not talking about seeing workouts themselves - just the names and types of workouts with descriptions.
30. [R197] 1/5 · US Disappointed: Dont understand how you can have an app that IMMEDIATELY hits you with a paywall. How do you expect people to know and understand what your app is if you immediately block potential buyers from checking out your app
31. [R213] 1/5 · US Money: Can’t even create an account without paying for it, heads up
32. [R198] 2/5 · US Sound Issues: I’ve used this app for years and never had any issues but ever since iOS 26 was released I’ve been having issues with the app pausing my Apple Music and not allowing me to listen to my music while in the sweat app. This is a big issue for me. I’ll update my rating once it’s fixed.
33. [R538] 1/5 · CA Subscription nightmare: You have to pay for either Apple Music or Spotify premium in order to have any music playing in the background to use this app. We live in a subscription nightmare. This app does not even offer basic music in the background to workout to
34. [R576] 1/5 · CA Don’t fall for the hype: Don’t fall for the hype, you need to have your Spotify or Amazon Music to have any music in background. everything is based on timer that doesn’t move swiftly from one cycle to the next. There is no coaching, for all we know, it could be one person using AI to change their voice to have “various” trainers. This is a boring app!
35. [R607] 2/5 · CA Music: I can’t use Spotify and the app simultaneously. Each time I open the app, the music stops. It’s too annoying!!
36. [R2] 1/5 · US Please fix this: The app easily makes it so you skip the superset and then once you start the cooldown you can’t go back and do the superset. PLEASE FIX THIS You should be able to go back to a section of your workout!
37. [R193] 2/5 · US Needs work: Update 4/20/2026: meh try something else…. I used to absolutely love this app features the functionality the workouts available and unfortunately, I just don’t think it’s worth it anymore. They haven’t really released a lot of new programs and lately when I’ve been trying to do workout substitutions in the app. It doesn’t work at all. Save your money! Previous review: I really
38. [R296] 2/5 · GB Boring: Tried one of the workout plans. Leg day was just squats and wall sit on repeat for increasing reps each time. Can get that from YouTube.
39. [R364] 2/5 · GB Not great and unreliable: The app was always very glitchy and only always you to be on one programme at the time. If you want to be working at home and at the gym on different days, for one of the locations you have to pick up a random workout routine instead of having something solid. But my biggest issues with it is that on almost every workout the app will have same exercise for two or three st
40. [R343] 3/5 · GB Ok…when it works: Not sure what is happening with the app at the moment but it launches the start screen then drops out immediately. When it works it’s ok - could offer a broader strength range and then ability to swap sets around depending on equipment availability (E.g. if someone is currently using the leg press so you want to skip to another set then come back to it once the equipment is free
41. [R34] 4/5 · US Would like to select more than one program!: Love the workouts but wish further customization was possible - like to be able to view and select workouts from multiple types of programs in the planner.
42. [R65] 3/5 · US Overall, happy with some suggestions: I’m a regular user of the app and overall I really love it. One feature I especially appreciate is the ability to substitute exercises, because it makes the workouts much more flexible depending on what equipment is available at my gym. That said, I wanted to share some feedback about a couple of areas that could make the app even better. First, I’ve noticed
43. [R991] 3/5 · AU Meal planner: Sweat! You’re latest update has removed the meal planner. This was the most important part of the app for me and why I bought it. It saved me hours of planning. How can I get an old version back - or even better - please add it back in!
44. [R347] 3/5 · GB Great workouts but the app crashes: I have followed Kayla Fromm bbg 1.0 and used the SWEAT app for years now. Love the workouts always have. But the app is so so frustrating. It takes at least a minute to open and half the time I end up turning my phone off to try and stop the app crashing. Which is so frustrating when you are at the gym. I have an iPhone 14 and I update the app regularly so it’s
