1. ★★★★★apple Watch and Health sync loses or duplicates workouts

   Membership Cancelled - glitchy and useless ai. I’ve been using the app for almost a year now and over the past few months it has become extremely glitchy The ai does not make adjustments to workouts despite that being advertised, i think I’ve told it over 5 times over the past few months to give me more machine oriented workouts (yes the relevant equipment is selected in settings) and it just doesn’t listen despite giving a confirmation “the next workout will include more machine oriented workouts” The phone app and apple watch app lose sync causing incorrect data being written to apple health The apps buttons just stop working during workouts, clicking next before a rest doesn’t go to rest but the next workout begins. Force quitting restores functionality but I’ve had a workout completely reset as a result OR the app recovers but the apple watch app thinks you have the workout paused Not sure if the devs have embraced vibe coding recently, but recent app performance tells me “probably” Canceling membership and going back to traditional workout tracking, really wanted this app to work out!

   Equipment order. App has you using 2 different types of equipment in one round not gonna work in a public gym with equipment on different areas of the gym and packed with people

   Why so complicated. I just want to workout and be healthy. The gym isn’t a “lifestyle”. I have a life. I just want to go to the gym to stay healthy and have an app help me. This thing requires all your info, exactly what weights and machines are at your gym. Min 3 days per week. What if I start with 1? Does that make me a bad person and shouldn’t use the app?!? Why can’t I just say. I’m looking for a general all around workout schedule. When I come back next is my next workout regardless of the days in between. I don’t want daily notifications and a constant email. I’m not looking to join a community. I just want to be a little healthier than I am now. Why is that so hard for you fanatics to understand!!

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Horrible. THEY TOOK MY MONEY WHEN I CANCLED THE SUBSCRIPTION SO I DONT RECOMMEND THEM ANY WORKOUT APP BETTER THAN STEALING MONEY

5. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Good workouts, nonexistent customer service. I downloaded this app using a promo code, but Apple Pay kept bouncing back the charges. After the two week trial I was essentially kicked out, but I pressed the button to re-enroll and this time it worked but only at full price. I wrote to customer service for two issues- this issue with the billing, and about a creepy guy harassing me and wanting to exchange photos. I asked for help with a block function to keep him from viewing my account and messaging me. I never heard back. For an app that costs over 100 dollars a year I really expected support when I needed it. Once again, I am being harassed by a fellow member and have no response from customer support. There needs to be a blocking feature.

   Simplicity. Back when i got the app everything was simple and all my workouts were pretty much straightforward and now it’s overly complicated and i have to manually select what workouts i want

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Updated review. Everything cost money now

   Generic mass market fitness…. This is mass-market fitness, not serious training. Loads are timid, movements are repetitive, and there’s no real progression. It’s built to feel safe and approachable, not to drive strength or hypertrophy.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Had High Hopes, but Ultimately Disappointed. This app consistently has failed to impress me. Today’s malfunction has made me seriously consider deleting the app and asking for a refund. For the last 4 workouts I’ve tried to ask my “Coach” a question and my question won’t submit. When I finally finish the workout, my question can finally be submitted. The coaches are one of the main selling points for this app so to not have access to one is annoying. My calories weren’t properly tracked for my workout out today. At the end of my workout it was stated that I burned 200+ calories. Yet, when I looked at my Fitness+ app it was showing that I burned ZERO calories. I tried to look back on this app to find the calories that I burned, but I can’t see that information when I look at my previous workouts.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hard to use and useless AI. Great exercise range but it’s barely customizable. You learn to use it as you go. Exercises are arranged as if you have a whole gym to yourself. The AI feature is useless

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to be great.. Member since 2024. Lately app has been crashing repeatedly. Mid workout- it stops working

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Gone downhill. I’ve had shred for 11 months now. Started off great and tailored workouts to my equipment. Now I can’t do a leg day without a leg press machine, which my gym doesn’t have, and it can’t give me a workout without it. This was never an issue until the past two months. I didn’t change the program and made sure I only had the equipment listed that I was able to use. Same for ab workouts, it cant create one without a bosu ball which isn’t available. Not sure why the app has gotten so much worse but I will not be renewing subscription.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Unauthorised charge. I tried the app for 2 days and cancelled, but they still charged my card for a full month

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Fraud don’t subscribe. I signed up for free trial and was told to check my email for password assistance as adding a password at the time was not an option. However I needed a password to sue the app. I checked my email, spam folder etc. nothing received. I “reset password“ several times nothing. I contacted them several times on their website using “report a problem” explaining the issue. Still heard nothing. Finally had to contact AppleCare to report as frauds. The only thing I did receive from the was an email for a bill. I wouldn’t recommend this.

    Video casting. When casting to TV, the person on tbe TV is sideways. No matter how rotate tbe phone, the video casting onto the TV does not move. So i am either watching the person upside down or sideways on the TV screen, while on the phone its correct. Why does it do this?

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Rearrange. I don’t like that we can add which workout come 1st as rearrange and we can add a custom set !

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. I had a fraudulent charge on my account in the amount of 131.74 through what pretended to be Apple. On the same day, I was supposed to have $119 come out of my account from Shred. I wanted to confirm with Shred before I cancelled my debit card and I received no response. My debit card was on hold and I was waiting for shred just to confirm it was/was not them. There is not a contact number, just email. I enjoyed this App but don’t expect anything to be rectified if an issue occurs. I ended up just cancelling my card anyway. And I won’t be renewing with shred, I’ll find use out of the million others.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Scam don’t do it. They claim you can use the app for free but that is not the case, I reported this scam to the proper authorities

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not my thing. Getting back in gym wanted simple exercises and they got some wack exercises and are missing some of the exercises i do may not be a bad app just not for me

20. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!. I selected the monthly with a free 7 day trial, I was charged $19.99 for a month. They will not reply. I have to live off SSI, they do not care. Do yourself a favor and skip this scam!!!

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why is Gender the First Question Required to Sign Up. The very first question when creating an account is gender with only two options. Really? That is the most important thing over age, height, weight, workout goals, etc? This feels like a political agenda. Why does every service have to be politicized and weaponized. Not interested.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Dont waste money. There are plenty of resources/plans to get in shape. This is not one of them. There is no point in paying $20 a month for something that you can look up on the Internet or ask ChatGPT. Complete scam. Politically.

23. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    All bad. I’ve had this app for quite some time, and it has been pretty reliable. All of a sudden, they’ve made some updates and now the app has gotten worse. I’d suggest looking for another workout app than this one because it’s just all bad now.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Crashing. The app has bugs that need to be fixed. If you choose an alternate workout it will ignore the workout you pick and select a random one for you. If you try to reselect your original alternate the app will crash and you loose your data for that days training. App will tell you it’s chest day and then throw in like 3 isolated leg lifts……. Once my subscription is up I won’t be renewing

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Would not recommend. Did the free trial seemed to work for at home workouts, after trial ended it won’t make workouts anymore stating I don’t have enough equipment when I have most out side of TRX bands and dumbbells. Did not think the app provided the value that was intended.

26. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    App Flat out doesn’t work. Doesn’t save my workout settings, won’t save a program even after signing up to start the free trial, won’t load a workout, cannot create a custom workout as that will not load, will not load my profile as I guess it corrupted its own data. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled twice, made sure to delete the data from my iPhone Settings and rebooted my phone. Still nothing. Does this even work?

27. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    NOT WORKING!!!!. The mirror/video aspect of the app stopped working with this last update. That is easily one of the best things about this app. I've emailed support but not heard back. I'm very frustrated because I pay a good amount for this app.

28. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Don’t use. Crashes all the time, super glitchy, also doesn’t keep a good record. Constantly deletes my history. Haven’t found a good alternative yet but still looking

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Glitchy. App doesn’t adapt well to progress. Suggested weight barely ever changes. Doesn’t record my load, duration, or workouts. I don’t like it uses profanity. Not a good value for the money spent. Glitchy and crashes often.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Stay away ! Useless.. Horrible useless app. Such a waste of money.
