AMAZING!!!

I was looking for an app that would help motivate me and get me to the gym. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Not only is it easy to use and navigate, but it looks so cool!! I love the graphics and ease of building my workouts. If you were looking for a personal trainer, give this app a try 1st. You wont be sorry.

Great for weight lifting, but yoga a bit tedious

its the best weight lifting app of the many out there, cardio is great too, but I hope that they can improve the usability of the yoga routines.

Definite downgrade

Just recently upgraded this. I really liked this app and used it for a few years. I think Im going to be in the market for something different. It seems a lot less user friendly inside the workout. Rest timer is driving me crazy.

Keeps me organized

Over the top on the options. Building workouts is as fast to do as my brain will kick it out. When a client asks how much weight did I use on the last time or whats the heaviest I ever went on this? I am pulling up years worth of easy to read data in less than a minute. Thats fast! No guess work, I got the facts, all saved in fitness builder. Clients know exactly what to do and on what day and I know exactly when they compete it, so I can correspond to them immediately. It doesnt get any better. I dont know who loves it more, me or my clients. Fitness builder had Great updates and always unbelievably fast on responses. If you havent tried it, your missing out. Fast and understanding with a crisp professional style. Works Great!!

Really great app, minor bug issue

I love this app and it has really been a tremendous aid as Ive taken getting in shape much more seriously of late. I love that I can add an exercise if it doesnt already exist. One bug Im having with the Apple Watch is the rest timer isnt working. Though rests are set to 45 or 60 seconds, when I tap the timer it either counts 3 seconds off and then says rest over, or it just immediately says rest over without counting any time. Hopefully this is addressed in an update. Otherwise this is a five star app. Great job!

Im in love!

I love FitnessBuilder... My only 2 complaints: 1. There arent a whole lot of lower body driven plans. Most of the plans are upper focused and then have 2-3 ab/leg exercises. 2. When you add a new workout for scheduling, it defaults to 10am when every other workout of mine starts at 5:30. Please change the default time to whatever you set your workout as last.

Watch support lacking

Great iPhone app but watch support is horrible. App is slow and isnt native to phones I the ability to use just the watch at the gym and ditch the phone isnt possible. Make this a native app that works and would b 5 stars!

Overpriced

I do think the app offers a lot, but it is overpriced! I spend hours entering all my own workouts and wanted to just use those. I couldn’t do so without paying $ 6.99 a month for the Plus Access. That would be $84 a year. That is a lot of money for a single app. I am going to use a different app, like gymgoal2!

Fonts too small on the latest update

I love this app. I use it everyday to program my clients sessions. But, the latest update has made the font sooooo small that I cant read it without reading glasses. Bring back the larger fonts or at least a happy medium.

Awesome

Great app, not a fan of personal trainer, with this app one is not needed.

Dropped support for older ios versions

I cannot login (authentication failed) or create a new account on my ipod runnin ios6. Apparently the app now only supports ios9.1 and up, although there are no messages that tell me this when trying to use the app on my ios6 device. I own 4 apple devices, and not all 4 of them are brand new. I choose to bring my small, lightweight ipod touch to the gym, and this app appears not to support it. Although instead of just telling you that, there are a bunch of frustrating messages like "authentication failed".I dont see why the app needs ios9.1 to function.

Wont restore my Plus Membership!

I had to restore my iPhone from a backup, when I tried to access my workouts I was told I needed to upgrade. So I clicked restore account and it said Subscription Restored yet I still have no access to the full app. Im canceling my auto renew now and going to a different app.

No reset for password

I enjoyed the fitness class app and have a pain subscription however I now can NOT sign in or get a response from the company apparently without signing in. I have had an injury and have not used it in a while. Seventy dollars down the drain. If not resolved I will be canceling the auto renew. They should have better support as they are not the only fitness app out there

BEST FITNESS APP PERIOD!!

Im not saying its the best just to say it. I tried other fitness apps but this one is light years ahead of its competition. It honestly feels like your holding one specific gadget not just a phone in your hand. This app could be its own product, theres just so much depth! I know people are giving this app low scores for its price but honestly its worth it *only if your heavily committed to fitness. I find the steep yearly subscription way over priced!! Pro: -New Update (SYNC) vastly improves backup. -So much to do, COME ON 5,600 workouts!! -Keeps track of reps, sets, rest timer and more. -Personal Trainer do I have to repeat myself, PERSONAL TRAINER (responded to my question same day, AMAZING!). -Takes my daily, weekly, monthly status with pictures all the way to blood pressure and heart rate. Sync to Facebook :) -Graphs my people, its got graphs! Cons: -Way over priced for yearly subscription. $39.99 sounds more reasonable. -RESOLUTION to support iPhone 6 & 6 plus needs to be implemented. -After trying other fitness Apps and coming to this I cant think of one. Im bieng completly honest here. -New 5.0 App icon is ugly. Go for a flat 3 color layout or something with contrast and depth. What I would like to see in Future Updates: -Be able to sync a finished workout with "PATH" like Nike fuel band!! -I would like and most would agree, MORE frequent updates even if they are small things. -Faster navigation would be nice, iPhone 6 chip is definitely capable. -The rest Timer should be able to appear in every page for example: Say Im doing a chest exercise and I feel I can do one more chest exercise. When I hit edit my rest timer RESETS. Rest timer is very important to keep your muscles at work and your blood pumping through out your body and most importantly keep our heart rate up!! -Make Fitness Builder more atractive to fitness app shoppers: I think this app has potential to grow. I think the product is here but its missing something. I think I might have the answer, this product needs to become a community to grow! Make a website that syncs with our profile with all our stats, workouts, friends etc.. I think we all need a Message board for Fitness Builder users so we can comunicate with each other, help each other out, tips, foods to eat, meet new ppl etc.. I think you guys should hire a nutritionist and have a section that gives advice/tips to eat right so we can achieve our goals in a healthy contructive way. Maybe even add a calorie manager, or when to have protein, the right amount of water a day etc.. Keep up the good work!

Glitchy and Freemium

If youre willing to pay the cost each month for the plus subscription, then maybe its better. Kind of useless without the exercises restricted to the premium accounts. And the builder feature is super glitchy. Oh, and the Facebook sign doesnt work. Real nice.
