Plankk Studio

First of all shoutout Mark from Plankk for setting me up. I have used the app several times and am a big fan of what seems like limitless options for workouts/stretches. Been able to join live classes or do on demand at my leisure. I’m not tech savvy so this may be possible, but if there was a way to stream this on my tv that would make the app even better. Every time an instructor does an exercise or pose I am unfamiliar with I have to crawl over to my phone to see the form and technique.

I opened the app and the first thing I wanted to do was filter out things I really didn’t want and focus on what I was looking for. There is a search option, which is great but typing in “no equipment” or “bodyweight only” finds no results. Not sure why that’s not possible when “bodyweight only” are words used to categories workouts. Personalization is so important for apps like these. So many people workout for many different reasons. I see that sections are broken up by different areas of focus for workouts but that’s just not enough. There is is just too much clicking and scrolling through the app to find what I need. I would love it if there was a filter option in the nav where I could select specific workouts based on areas of the body, indicate that I have no equipment, select my experience level and length of time in workout. You could even take this app to the next level by tracking my workouts, weight, overall progress and include recommendations based off of what I’ve done and what I’m lacking. Health and body goals aren’t just about working out, including nutrition would be mind-blowing (this is really pushing it though lol). This is just ok. I’m sure the trainers are amazing but this app could be soooo much better!! I really hope these ideas will be considered.

Have to say that many of the videos seem to be designed by a porn studio rather than a fitness one. The highlighted trainers are generally highly manicured women showing off cleavage in skin tight clothing, performing exercises without any background music as the camera zooms in and out, sometimes on parts of them that are not relevant for the exercise (lunges zoomed in on their face and chest for example). Some of the thumbnails for classes highlight the name of the instructor before the type of class and show pictures truly suggestive of porn websites, such as an oiled woman wearing a bikini and arching her back over a bench that she is lying on. I haven’t seen a single black trainer on there (and if they are on there they’re certainly not being highlighted). Definitely not designed for women.

I like the idea of this. The trainers are great and I like that the workouts are quick but give you a great burn. However, it’s very annoying that the app is only available on the iPhone and not on the Mac. Using a small screen is next to impossible because you’re trying to observe what the trainer is doing while also trying to do the exercise yourself in correct form. If this could be corrected, the app would be much much better.

The first week I tried use this app there were so many glitches that I was never able to complete a workout. When I went to unsubscribe so as not to be charged for the month the app wasn’t on my subscriptions under my Apple account. I presumed that maybe because the app was such a huge failure that it hadn’t properly subscribed me either. It turns out that the only thing that works on this app is how it charged me for a subscription that I cannot even use. Please someone take care of this, I do not want to be billed further and I can’t unsubscribe from this app because it doesn’t appear where it should on my subscriptions! And refund now. Horrible experience!
