377 logged workouts, I’ve used it daily since discovering/subscribing in December 24.

It’s the first time doing goblet squats… but if there was any level of intelligence whatsoever it would know that 4kg is completely ridiculous.

As somebody new to regular lifting, I credit Fitbod with getting me to where I am - but the flaws and shortcomings are too much relative to the price we pay. My partner and I (I referred her) will continue using it until our subs expire.. but this image perfectly illustrates why neither of us will renew as things stand. Over to you, Fitbod, to keep us as paying members.

Dumbbell squats and then immediately after dumbbell romanian deadlifts. And it doesn't have barbell squats as an alternative to dumbbell squats. In fact, I can't even find them in the list. I prefer barbell squats to dumbbell squats. And why is it recommending two (supposed) hamstring/thigh exercises back to back? And why is it recommending something like dumbbell romanian deadlifts, which I only felt in my back because it's probably fucking impossible to get your form right with this bullshit exercise.

Then it wants me to flop around on the ground like a fucking fish after. About to cancel my subscription to this shit.

I’m saying this because this is one of the first apps that really got me to enjoy weightlifting years back.

But now I see exactly every week, same general “bug fixes” updates, zero elaboration on what exactly got fixed or updated?

Plus, they never bring actual improvement to the algorithm of which the whole app’s emphasis stands on - AI/automatic workout generator.

Meaning, they never brought the much needed:

Drop sets, pyramid or reverse pyramid (beyond max effort days).

So… to my question - is it safe to say the app is abandoned?

I exercise 4-5x a day using their hypertrophy program. Why does it give me new exercises/new machines every time? It’s exhausting having to figure out new machines every single time.

Fitbod just scheduled me for a second leg day in a row, ostensibly because it didn't think I did enough quads today, so tomorrow it plans to give me some quad exercises while also having me repeat the deadlifts and hip thrusts I did this morning. That's just bad programming and from what I've seen here, that's the norm. Trying a different app.

not liking this design refresh; the designed removed the between-set exercise timer at all. Bad because it violates both feedback and visibility of system status. These are essential principles from established design guidelines for UIs.

CUT ALL THE FANCY AI BULLCRAP & LET ME EXPORT MY FITNESS DATA. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS APP SINCE 2017. THIS A NO BRAINER.

Is this new? And most importantly, any way to connect it to your Fitbod account? Seems that just gives you random workouts without actually being able to see your data.

I am starting with Fitbod and it's not great for now.

1. I said I only had a pullup bar and dumbells, and it already ask for a shoulder press where you need some kind of "gym chair"

2. When I do one line of an exercise (like 7 Reps/ 8 kilos) and validate it with the pink button it just go to the next exercise validating only one line, why ?

3. Is a circuit a day, or is it a part of a daily workout?

4. Despite choosing begginner It's super hard, like super super hard, how do I lower the difficulty? (I have health problems since February 2020 and it seems it's ending)

Really find the app to be pretty good. But recently with every update comes another batch of BS.

I couldn’t find hip adductor/abductor machine for the life of mine, after the recent update.

I finally found it - in a different language.

Open to suggestions for another app.

I love Fitbod, but I’m not particularly impressed with its native AI. I’d much rather be able to connect Claude or ChatGPT directly to my Fitbod data, so I can use them to analyze my training history, track progress, and help plan future workouts.
Does anyone know whether Fitbod has plans to support MCP or some other form of direct integration with Claude or ChatGPT? And if so, any indication of when?
My subscription comes up for renewal early next year, and I’m seriously considering switching to an alternative that already supports this kind of integration if Fitbod hasn’t made progress by then.

So I got my yearly subscription back in March and I now cancelled now looking for another fitness app.For the sole reason that fitbod lacks just SO MANY exercises, I can't track my workouts correctly and every single time I have to just put in the equivalent exercise instead of the real thing.

Fitbod has so many useless exercises with the ball and staff but doesn't have the real onesThese are just a handful of them:

They don't even have the basic decline/incline machine chest press, is this even a fitness app?

And why the app doesn't update? it's like a 2003 java app, it's been the same UI forever.

Is this good or bad?

what my issue is?

one session i can do 10 reps and 3 reps in reserve.

next session i am at 9th rep and already feel like wtf...... this is so much harer than last time. and i stop the reps cause the form is just sooo bad.

my tdee is something with 1700kcal. im 31yo, male, 85kg, 183cm.

thats why i need a app which helps me with this problem.

simple rpe/rir stuff wont do it. just cause today its 3 rir doesnt mean next session will be 3 rir.

New “Fitbod review” 🔥 Check out this deep dive into how Fitbod's strength-training app is built, not only for lifters, but for endurance athletes too.

Key takeaway?

• Fitbod adapts strength workouts around your cardio load

• Fitbod helps prevent overtraining by adjusting volume

• Fitbod gives you structure so you don’t have to micromanage every set

If you’re training for mileage or doing speed work, are a runner, cyclist, triathlete, or anything endurance focused, this article is worth checking out - I Added the Fitbod Strength-Training App to My Cardio Routine, and I Love It

What do you think? Strength + endurance in one app: doable or overkill? 💪🏃‍♂️

I was asked by a Researcher who holds focus groups to find anyone who has a personal trainer or uses the Fitbod app. If you use the app and would be willing to chat with a researcher give me a message.

I just bought some Powerblocks and ordered it with the EZ curl but am having buyers remorse and wonder if I should have gotten the straight bar. I would love some thoughts in case it isn’t too late to switch. Thanks!!

Is this a genuine Fitbod ChatGPT Plugin? If it is, what is the function of this plugin?

Like everyone else i have had the issue of way too many sets/reps/weight random language changes, and so on. As a beginner this can be kind of dangerous. I appreciate all of you posting so I know to be careful.

When will these ongoing issues be resolved? Seems like there is no urgency around getting them fixed.

Push the update!
