decent programs but the app REALLY needs to support multiple family profiles like the bodi bike does ( and just like every other paid fitness system (peloton, total, etc...). if you are a couple and want to individually track progress and program completion and goals, this app won't support you and therefore the programs won't either. this would be a simple app add too, not sure why they haven't done it....
Well..they have a boat load of videos and no reason we should be coach potatoes. They have a lot of different offerings and certainly each person can find something. However, finding the workout a long time ....then, you cannot save it to a favorite folder. Each time you have to go look for the workout(s) you like but even the search functions aren't so great so your video won't pop up unless you remember how you found it in the past. Sad!
I love my Bodi app. It gives me access to endless workouts. I am unhappy though, woth the fact that it does not log all my workouts, it shows that some are incomplete after I finish completely. Also, my previous programs that I have completed have started to disappear. So I have no record of completing them and also, if I want to go back to do extras or bonuses that I had not done, there is no way to see which ones I have not tried since it appears that none of the workouts were ever done.
This app sucks. While I appreciate having something like this, sometimes it doesn't want to connect, other times I can't rewatch a video because it just closes out. First work on connections. Secondly, if I go back to a work out that I've finished allow me to start the video over. Thirdly, when I'm done with that video and I turn off cast, don't continue the video because then I will have to close out the program
The workouts themselves are great, and I like that my workout is logged automatically when I finish. The search and filter functionality could be improved. I like how the BODi blocks subscribe you to the block and it's easy to get back to and know what your next workout is. Non block programs don't behave the same & you have to look at a PDF to find the correct next workout, which is not ideal. Also, I can't see my BOD group and react & comment on member activity. I can only do that on the web.
I'm not a fitness buff and I don't like gyms or traditional workouts. With Beachbody, I can exercise at home, in private, whenever I want. The yearly subscription and mobile app is especially cool because you get 24/7 access to all of Beachbody's content. There's really diverse programs and trainers, so I'm never bored, and I can easily something that fits the time I have that day, even if it's only 5 minutes. Love all the mindfulness content too!
Since the 2 apps were integrated, I've had a lot of trouble. The app crashes EVERY TIME I try to access my group on my phone. Logging my workout is more difficult than it was before, especially adding comments. And my workouts don't automatically sync until the next day. The workouts load just as well as they used to, but for tracking and networking purposes, this app has been rendered pretty much useless.
I spend more time trying to get the dang thing to cast to my TV than I do actually working out!! I can cast from EVERY OTHER app but this one, it's hit or miss. The app connects ok, but the video won't play!! Once I FINALLY get it to cast I LOVE it, but geesh, I have to plan to add at least 15 minutes to my 20 minutes workout just to get the workout to play!!! And its NOT my internet connection, it's the app.
I love having access to so many workouts but I have to go through my firestick bc the only other console I have is a Playstation which isn't compatible with BOD. It takes forever to load and most of the time I have to get out of it completely at least 2 times before it'll properly load. I wish they would make the app compatible with Playstation since it works with Xbox.
Ever since the BODi portion was added, my app has been lagging. I am not signed in to BODi, but it lags because it updates how many minutes are left in each and every BODi class. What a terrible idea for people who think they should be able to open the app and hit play instead of waiting for the app to update the classes I'm not taking. Also, a side note, super fancy compounded exercises serve less of a purpose than simple exercises or less compounded. You are the experts, you should know this.
Workout section is fantastic! All workouts in one place. But the groups section is terrible, which is the other half of app. Sometimes workouts log, other times they don't. The time a log or a post is posted is really just the time passed but that seems to change every time someone comments or likes the post. I can see what BB is aiming for: a social media for accountability, but the functionality of it is back about 10 years ago. Our coaches moved us to Facebook group for the time being.
The app is set up well and easy to use and navigate. It's nice to be able to track all your food and water on here, it would be nice if it could some how link to my Fitbit...the app on my firestick also updated and now it has a 'start over' and 'resume' which is nice because I don't have to rewind it if I don't finish it all (that was kind of a pain)
I have loved the app thus far. However for the past 2 days it will NOT load. Just stays on "pending". Even after uninstalling, powering off of phone, closing all other apps! The desktop version keeps referring me to the app. It all started because it would not let me into app without updating.😭😤so im still waiting after 2 days of not being able to track my workouts which kill me bc I was participating in a challenge group.
I like the access to workouts and my group in one place. What I don't like is the long loading time for the programs page and (once chosen) workout. At least 5 min. I also don't like how logged workouts in a group are only auto filled with the workout of that day, and not also the program name or week progression(if valid). Lastly, if I mirror screen with my TV, it causes a glitch so that my workouts aren't auto logged in.
Expected more. You have access to the workouts. You can input daily what your goal weight/current weight are, water intake, shakeology if you can afford it. It has a meal tracking option that I haven't explored (plate it or containers).That's pretty much it. I expected it to track my workouts (you have the option to print the workout calender of each program and do it yourself) and maybe have the option of selecting my favourite programs for quick access so i can do multiple programs at once.
As big of a fan of Beachbody, shakeology and everything else this app is severely lacking. The food journal is lacking so many features. It's not very easy to use. I only log my workout and Shakeology. It's not the best for food. Add a barcode scanner. Let me see my calorie intake. Allow me to build my meal or dish. I want to see macros. Perhaps I'm doing this part wrong, but how do I add in the milk i had in my cereal. And the English muffin on the side? I dream of the day i can use just 1 app
I love the offline viewing feature of the app since my Internet connection is spotty and I like to workout outdoors too where there is no connection. Occasionally in the middle of the workout it wants Internet to check membership, that can be problematic when being without connection. It could be nice if the app would just store the membership info somwhere, I prepaid for a year and it should know... other than that it works beautifully. The content is excellent too regarding the workouts. When online though instead of using the offline workouts, I have to agree with another user that there is now all this social and blah blah stuff, which I have no use for. I'm here to work out, find my favorite workout and sometimes look for new workouts. So it is four stars which otherwise would be five.
I thought I signed up for three month membership only to find out I have been charged consecutively for the last year since January 5 different times for the three month membership! Costing me over $200! And then when you try to talk to someone and get them to take the charges off you can’t talk to anyone on the phone you are forced to go through email very very very frustrating! I am still trying to work on getting some sort of resolution to this.
I haven't used this in years. I didn't update my payment info because I didn't want to renew it. Somehow these people, after several failed attempts to debit my card, managed to change some of the card info and the bank allowed it to go through. No address. Expiration date was wrong and the bank still allowed them to debit my account. How bout you people just learn to accept when people no longer want your services. And make sure the number on people's statements can actually be called. Smh
I loved this app until the recent update ! It no longer prompts to log your workout once completed, you have to manually enter it under the day. The app will play in the background even once all apps are closed out, unless I go and pause the video then exit.. and also the ads. The ads drive me insane. Like a lot of comments, I don't think we need to be spammed with ads when we pay for this service. This is something that BB coaches can post in groups/emails to let their customers know.
