Sweat vs JustFit
Sweat is the better choice for users seeking a reliable, structured workout experience with a strong community, while JustFit struggles with app stability and transparent pricing.
Sweat offers a wide variety of well-programmed workouts and strong community support, though some users experience app crashes. JustFit faces significant criticism for deceptive free trial advertising, frequent payment issues, and inconsistent workout programming, despite some users finding its workouts effective.
Head to head
Pick Sweat if you are looking for a comprehensive fitness app with a wide range of structured workout programs, including specialized options like postpartum, and value the ability to customize exercises and be part of a motivating community R11.
Pick JustFit if you are a beginner or senior looking for varied, easy-to-follow workouts, including 'bed' options, and are prepared to navigate its subscription model carefully .
Evidence note: JustFit's reviews are heavily skewed by complaints about deceptive pricing and billing issues, making it difficult to assess the app's core fitness value fairly. Many positive reviews are very short and generic, or from new users.

- [R2] Sweat 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.
- [R3] Sweat 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
- [R9] Sweat 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
- [R11] Sweat 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.
- [R1] Sweat 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!
- [R4] Sweat Doesn’t work without equipment: I spent 30 minutes setting up the app and answering questions. I was so excited for this app because I needed something to use to help me keep on track and build back up postpartum. However, I made sure I said I didn’t have equipment when answering the questions and it still recommended a program with lots of equipment needed. I then went and manually adjusted it in
- [R8] Sweat Mid year fitness challenge: I loved my first strength workout and the app is very user friendly and amazing.
- [R6] Sweat Aaaaaaaa: Love the app when I can get in. FREQUENTLY crashes before it opens. Annoying.
- [R12] Sweat 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
- [R13] Sweat 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.
- [R7] Sweat 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.
- [R10] Sweat Not free: Don’t claim it’s free and it’s not stop luring to people don’t deserve a star for ur lies
- [R16] Sweat Impossible to deactivate subscription: It’s is extremely difficult to deactivate the subscription.
- [R30] Sweat 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.
- [R31] Sweat 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
- [R50] Sweat Best workout app by far: I have been actively using the Sweat app since Covid. I feel that it has kept me more consistent than any other app, and any other gym or at home program could have provided me. Something about the motivation from the women, the interaction with other Sweat users in the app, and following along in their Instagram, just makes the app feel so personal to you.
- [R85] JustFit Fraudulent charges and no way to contact actual customer service: I wish I could give zero stars, I feel so scammed after getting this app with the initial purchase that was supposed to be an annual subscription one time payment but then it charges monthly on top of that without any way to cancel it as when I click on the cancel link in the app it will bring you to an error page, then the only way
- [R97] JustFit Waste of money beware: They ask you a couple of questions and then give you an exercise plan they want you to have. I am disabled and they gave me walk Pilates. I have been trying to contact them for three weeks and keep getting automatic responses. They took it upon themselves to cancel my subscription. I only wanted to have the la y workout plan done from bed because that’s something I can do.
- [R61] JustFit disappointed: i really got my hopes up tht is was free and it WAS NOT im 11 and i wanna start changing my body shape and tht made me quite disappointed
- [R64] JustFit Inconsistent: Thought this workout would be nice, ads made it seem like it was easy and free (yes it’s free to download but there is a subscription to use it). The workouts are inconsistent, part way through an exercise it will say to switch sides but you aren’t just switching, they have to start from a sitting position when all you have to do is stay laying down and lift the other leg. You stretc
- [R70] JustFit Money: While I was doing the workout plan it never said that you would have to pay to continue and now I’m very disappointed because what about people that can’t afford it and just thought it was free.👎
- [R73] JustFit Ads state FREE! Far from free!!!!: The advertisements the person’s asking the person exercising how much is it? It’s free then you go to sign up and they want a credit card and it’s not free at all. Very, very deceptive. All it’s gonna do is earn you of one star rating.
- [R36] Sweat 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
- [R38] Sweat 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
- [R41] Sweat Motivating, Challenging, Empowering: Love this app! The structure of the workouts, the plethora of choices when it comes to workouts, the meal plans… it keeps me coming back for more. I’ve noticed a huge change in what type of exercise my body needs in recent years, and I’ve been able to simply change programs to accommodate my new needs. Highly recommend.
- [R51] Sweat 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
- [R79] JustFit Charged without warning: If you decide to do the low cost trial., Be sure to put a reminder in your phone to cancel it. They charge you the renewal without any warning to give you a minute to go and cancel the subscription. For me, this app was a waste of money because I never even used it, and unlike the majority of apps where you either get something from the app itself or from Apple Pay telling
- [R88] JustFit Charged after 3 years: Cancelled my subscription in June 2023 (email confirmation) and was just charged. I have not logged into or opened this app since before June 2023. Not sure where to find a number for JustFit but will be disputing with cc company.
- [R91] JustFit Rip off!!: If there were a zero, this is it! Do not do it!!! They have billed me multiple times since January and do a refund or 2 and then keep billing but you never get your money back and you never get taken care of!!! I have a photo where they bill me like 3 or 4 times in a row at once. And I have never used the app!!
