BodySpace - Social Fitness App

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.

Like all of us, this app is working hard but has room for improvement. It would be beneficial if we could make notes on the workout or easily modify a workout plan if the gym doesn’t have certain equipment etc. I know you can add sets or add extra exercises at the end of a workout but being able to modify an existing super set would be helpful. Making notes like, how a certain exercise made you feel, what you should work on, tips to improve your stance etc. would be great too. Let’s take it to the next level! The search feature is quirky too. Sometimes I can search for an workout plan by a name and it comes up, sometimes it doesn’t. Searching for a particular exercise isn’t easy either. The categories don’t always make sense or have a body part even selected so it’s hard to find an exercise if you don’t know it’s exact name. Again, the app is awesome and it’s amazing that it’s free. This is just some wishful feedback.

This app is like having a thousand personal trainers. The network of friends is truly supportive and positive, more than any social media I’m aware of. The app has given me the right amount of motivation to go to the gym (because there’s never a shortage of excuses not to go), and the programs maximize my time there. The app really helped change my lifestyle for the better on all fronts! Just try it. The missing fifth star is for the software not being able to keep up with so many users. A minor inconvenience to not have your previous weights from six months ago or your friend’s comments not load from time to time. Kind of endearing, like the app is run by a couple of dudes in the Midwest. Highly recommended for everyone curious about fitness. From teenager to retiree. From no experience (that was me) to professionals (that answer my questions) it is a great tool.

I used to use this app a lot when i was getting into lifting weights. It was fantastic to work with! The tools they put in place and the helpful tips found throughout the website really helped me get started on my goal to swoleness. So it’s sad to see that when I suggested this same app to a friend I quickly discovered that the same tools I had utilized for free back just a year ago had now been locked behind a paywall. On further inspection, I saw that there were no additional tools to suffice the cost. Plain and simple, this app was perfect when it was free, but I can’t recommend it now that everything is locked behind a pay wall. In fact, i would suggest googling certain workout regiments, like Kris gethins plans, and finding the programs for free cause through a $9 a month subscription is not worth it. I know they’re a business and need to make money, but they have their own clothing, supplements, and other various product lines to generate a sufficient profit, especially with how popular the site has become.
