  1. [R3] Fitbod 3/5 · US App: Good app. Missing a lot of exercises. Body weight exercises, a lot, missing and not easy to add
  2. [R5] Fitbod 5/5 · US Great app: Great app and tracker. Can make suggested weights and track your progress as well as suggested workouts based on your activities. Also allows you to build your own workouts which is what I typically do
  3. [R12] Fitbod 3/5 · US Latest Update: Why did u guys take away the target muscle group dropdown from the Workouts tab..?? I used that ALL THE TIME. Now it’s several extra taps thru the Swap button. Way less intuitive. :(
  4. [R14] Fitbod 5/5 · US Great app for all levels: I have been using this for a while now and getting a fresh workout each time based off equipment you have, is great. The explanations with videos is great for new exercises and the customization is better than any app I’ve tried.

  6. [R13] Fitbod 1/5 · US App update IS HORRIBLE: You guys actually made the app so much worse with this most recent update. Did you even consumer test it with your current consumer base before you launched it? It’s absolute garbage. Change it back. Also, I gave you feedback long ago that you never responded to. I kept it below for your reference. You’re still not providing any ability to adjust equipment limitations in t
  7. [R35] Fitbod 5/5 · US Simple to navigate!: I love this app. All of the exercises are presented to me. I can swap exercises or add more and adjust reps and weight as need be. Much easier than coming up with my own plan!

  10. [R18] Fitbod 3/5 · US Crashes too often: Nothing more irritating than being in the middle of a workout and seeing all of your reps and added exercises disappear.

  12. [R10] Fitbod 1/5 · US $100 app: This stupid app requires downloading and creating an account before they slap you with the price tag of $100/yr and no free version. Why is this info not front and center before downloading the app?

  19. [R29] Fitbod 1/5 · US SLA - Custom Service: I really want to love Fitbod, but I’m now 48 hours into a 7-day trial and still haven’t been able to use the app. I signed up using Apple’s “Hide My Email” and Single Sign-On.

I submitted a support ticket with screenshots and all the information needed for what sho
  20. [R33] Fitbod 2/5 · US Subscription needed: The app setup was amazing at first. But the fact that I need to buy a subscription to use it is ridiculous. Money hungry set up.
