BodySpace - Social Fitness App 12+

The exercise database is great, though creating custom exercises is frustrating. Also can't simply log exercise post workout and it wants to time the reps when I already did them. Would like to access full plan website info as well. The meal part of the program I chose only displays in the full web version. Also, it doesn't sync to my Fitbit account. I would like that so the meals I log there are tracked from one account. My fitness pal has better overall function but terrible on exercise logging. If Fitbit, myfitnesspal and bodyspace all smashed into one app, it would be perfect. Also...”friend” requests can be tricky. You post images of your workouts and work progress and this is inherently tricky since it is the body impacted by weight training. Some people are in BodySpace to flirt and it would be nice if everyone came to work, not pick up a date or send creepy messages about how hot people are. I love the exercise and motivation but if the pervs could be addressed it would be great.

I’ve used this app for almost a year and it has completely shifted the way I workout. Using programs (I use Kris Gethin’ 12 week trainer) has made a drastic difference in the way I work out and the goals I’ve set for myself. I love how each day has a set workout list, some that are familiar and some that are pretty foreign, that are geared towards accomplishing the end goal. I can go into the gym not incredibly motivated to workout in the beginning but as the program list helps he organize my workouts in a way that helps me finish every session.

What still needs improvements, however is certain bugs within the programs. I’m not sure if it is specific to the program I use because as of right now I’ve only used one but there have been some pretty frustrating issues that have put pauses on my workouts. For example, there will be times were it just won’t list the “target rep number” where it should. Sometimes it won’t list the workout day all together and I’ll just have to skip it and move to the next day. I’ve actually temporarily paused my subscription because I didn’t want to deal with these issues.

This is the only review I’ve given for an app because it’s one that I want to incorporate into my daily lifestyle as I saw significant improvements in my workouts and wellbeing after using it. If these issues were to be resolved I’d for sure pay for a subscription to keep going after my goal.

This app/community helped me so much over the past 4/5 years. I’ve logged over 700 workouts and made quite a few friends. The functionality and variety of workouts were great.... WERE. Lately I have to restart the app several times to even view my WOD. My notifications barely load (I constantly get an error that reads “Notifications cannot be loaded, please try again later”) My profile page does not load at all, just my avatar pic and no info (workouts tracked, weight lifted etc). I have brought this up SEVERAL times to customer support and all I’ve gotten back was a generic “we are aware of problems that users are having and are working to fix the issue, in the meantime please consider paying for a subscription...”.....?!!?! For an app that has been free for HOW MANY YEARS?! BB doesn’t make enough money off of their website and supplements that they now have to make money off of an app that has been free for so long?!! Now some workouts that I have used over and over are now behind a pay wall??!! Stop being greedy and FIX YOUR APP! I already spend enough money ordering supps on your site!! This makes me want to just delete the app and delete my account. BB obviously isn’t interested in the well being of its users as it is in the all mighty dollar.
