  1. [R2] Gymverse 5/5 · US Great App: Gymverse is a great app for anyone serious about fitness and structured training. The interface is clean, the workouts are easy to follow, and it does a great job helping users stay consistent and motivated. I especially appreciate how organized the workout programs are and how simple it is to track progress. One request I would love to see added is workout plans that follow NASM progr
  2. [R5] Gymverse 5/5 · US Perfect Workout Planner!: Whether you’re a beginner or experienced lifter, this app is perfect! Easily scale it to your experience level, abilities and available equipment or just body weight exercises. You can even create your own schedule. If you miss a day or two, it encourages you to get back to it and it holds your place in the plan and starts you right where you left off. I loved doing Cross
  3. [R7] Gymverse 2/5 · US Annoyingly Dumb: Interface is good. But the app itself is frustratingly dumb. It has no context for timing of workouts or its place in a series. For example, it gets confused when you previously did a 225x8 bench press set (first workout of the day) and can’t seem to understand why you won’t get the same weight after it has you do 3x3x10 chest workouts with bench as the last workout. Then, to add
  4. [R8] Gymverse 5/5 · US Excellent workout companion: I’ve been using this app for over two years now. It has really helped me stay on track and consistent with my workouts. Really like that I can set my goals and see progress over time. Also really like the flexibility in building workout routines that match my goals. Highly recommend!
  5. [R25] Gymverse 5/5 · US Awesome: Keeps track of sets and is just an overall great app for motivation and dedication etc
  6. [R31] Gymverse 5/5 · US Worth Every Penny: I’m middle-aged and have been working out here and there for ages before apps came along. I’ve tried so many workout apps, and honestly, they’ve all been a bit of a letdown. But Gymverse? It’s a whole different story! Let’s start with the interface; I’m a huge fan! It’s not only visually appealing but also super easy to use. They offer a ton of workout programs that fit all sort
  7. [R9] Gymverse 3/5 · US Decent app but keeps crashing: Good modules but as you near the end of the workout, the app just crashes.
  8. [R13] Gymverse 2/5 · US Review: Watch app needs better functionality. I should be able to follow along on watch and phone, not one or the other. Watch app doesn’t show last weight and rep count. Hard to progress without. Both phone and watch app need a way to set max weight for each exercise. Shouldn’t keep recommending increase in weight/reps. Need more equipment listed. Some equipment at my gym isn’t listed in list
  9. [R24] Gymverse 2/5 · US Just one fix needed: Keeps clearing and restarting my whole workout randomly! Half way through i have to remember ALL my sets and weights and reenter. Got done with the workout entered last set. Then i get home and wonder why the yellow gymverse icon is counting down at the top of my screen. Go into the app and it cleared my ENTIRE workout again!!! As if i hadnt even done a single rep 😡 i had to r
  10. [R35] Gymverse 4/5 · US Close to all you need: I’ve rated Gymverse 4 stars mainly because of the limitation around syncing custom workout plans to the Apple Watch. As someone who likes to build and follow structured routines, this is a feature that would really take the app to the next level. That said, everything else about the app has been great. The interface is clean, workouts are easy to track, and it does a solid
  11. [R1] Gymverse 1/5 · US IT IS NOT FREE: Free app… $119 for the year to use it
  12. [R4] Gymverse 2/5 · US Poor Advertising: Advertised price of 30% percent off but actually billed and charged the full price. No answer from support. Won’t be renewing, there’s a ton of other apps out there.
  13. [R6] Gymverse 3/5 · US Great if you have the money: Even the most basic workout plan is locked passed the first week. It’s unfair to force people into a 7day free trail, if once it ends you can’t use literally anything.
  14. [R15] Gymverse 3/5 · US Too expensive: Loved the app had it for years but now it got too expensive had to uninstall
  15. [R14] Gymverse 5/5 · US Superb Workout Partner: This app has it all. I use the training videos as my workout partner who is ready 24/7/365. There is a learning curve and my questions were answered by the support team within 12 hours. I'm sore a lot which is a great feeling for someone who likes changing routines. I can't say enough particularly because it has a one time option lifetime fee which is less than two weeks wi
  16. [R16] Gymverse 1/5 · US Cannot contact: It charged a yearly fee when it should be monthly. Cannot contact anyone to change or refund because it does not pull up a receipt of purchase
  17. [R40] Gymverse 1/5 · US Lost all saved programs and progress: The app deleted all my saved workouts and programs. Support says there’s nothing to restore it and that nothing gets synced in the cloud. Now I’ve gotta spend hours to recreate my custom workouts if I want to use it again. Waste of a lifetime subscription. Support is not helpful
  18. [R22] Gymverse 1/5 · US Too expensive: The app itself is good, but i don’t know why anyone would want to pay $20 a month for an app that used to be free. This is beyond greedy.
  19. [R11] Gymverse 5/5 · US Garmin Watch: I really enjoy the app. As a Garmin Watch user I’m looking to connect this app to my watch to track my trainings. If you can add it to your future updates it would be awesome.
  20. [R17] Gymverse 4/5 · US Great app. No garmin: This is a great app! I’ve been using it for about 3 years and it keeps getting better. Tracks everything great! But, it does not work with a garmin watch. Which is a real bummer. Garmin is a fitness watch. They need to make em work together. Would give it 5 stars because aside from that it’s perfect!
  21. [R26] Gymverse 2/5 · US Severely Limited Customization & Workout Logic: This app worked well for me at first, but once I started building my own workouts, the limitations became really frustrating. The customization options are extremely limited and sometimes confusing. For example, I couldn’t select something as basic as an assisted underhand pull-up, and creating functional movements is almost impossible. There’s no wa
