Athena - Fitness Community

Almost no real people on this. Downloaded it to try and find a workout buddy and it’s been anything but that. Only bots trying to sell s*x and scam guys.

Well color me surprised when I tried to join a “clean eating” community within in the app and there was straight up porn in there!!!!! What in the world?!!! I mean post after post of women offering all kinds of things and none of it was related to a fit lifestyle…..or at least not in the way that one looking for gym friends who expect. I’m deleting my account immediately. So grossed out!!!!!!!!!!

cool idea but majority fake accounts. need to fix that if it has any hope of success

When I first downloaded the app, it was great! I enjoyed finding friends that have the same fitness interests as myself. Lots of actual great people that use it! It’s been about two months now that I have been logged out of my account. My account is now disabled and I have been trying to get ahold of the support team to get it fixed. I emailed them 3 times before turning to instagram and messaging the instagram account. I finally heard back from someone on instagram 3 weeks after I initially reached out on instagram saying they would look into it ASAP. I responded basically saying, “thank you”. That message was seen about a month and a half ago. My account is still not fixed, and I haven’t heard back from anyone. I followed all of the guidelines, so I am unsure why my account would have been suspended. I just tried getting back in and my account is STILL disabled. No explanation. No response. Just disabled. What is really disappointing, is that I paid for the subscription for a whole year before cancelling because I haven’t heard a single word back.

A lot of scammers

Scammers are everywhere be careful

When I first download this app maybe about a year ago.. it was the best workout community app I had found. You could meet up with people in your area who wanna go to the gym with you. You actually had a profile to keep up your progress over time, I don’t know where all my photos are now because I CANNOT get an only way of contact which is an email response. Figure the creator of the app just stopped caring and got money hungry. But this app has HEAVILY went down hill and don’t download unless you want a bunch of creeps messaging you.

The app has a great concept and I’ve met decent people interested in fitness and the gym. But basic features are behind a paywall such as just having the option to find people in your area which primarily people want to find people to workout with near by not across the country. The unlimited swipes, boosts , view who likes you behind a paywall is fine. But otherwise this app is useless and essentially a discord or fb group for fitness would be better for this. Also the app use to have a newsfeed of people you followed or trending in general on app and now it’s gone or for life of me can’t find it. I see my previous posts but can’t find a explore page at all. The app obviously has fake accounts which should maybe have an option to verify by an ID and then be able to filter to show verified accounts or not. Many accounts are clearly fake and soliciting. Summary of my review: 1. Great concept, terribly executed 2. Paywall for basic features like location/ distance of people 3. No explore/ newsfeed as previously had or impossible to find 4. Fake accounts/ needs verification or option to show verified accounts only 5. Price for Gold is steep for what is currently offering/ quality. In all it has great potential and I feel it was better when I first downloaded it a year or more ago. The only improvements is speed and smoother UI but app crashed 3 times using it just now.

So far 100% of the profiles are fake. Customer support does not respond to emails. I want to delete my account and never got a response. You have to pay to limit your search to your area. Pointless and fraudulent app. Do not download

I like the idea of this but it needs more users. Growing pains, I suspect.
