Athena - Fitness Community

Never works anymore. Greta idea for fitnes community. Think ig/linkedin for fitness. But then it got flooded with bots and p*rn. I got locked out. Went to resign in and my profile was gone. They store profiles of users who do not have accounts. I know this because I found my old account that I had deleted over a year ago, still in tact.

The app started off really good even got to meet some people on there… and I thought the app was amazing for the goals I aimed to achieve in my fitness career took some time off the app for competitions and when I came back it was different like people went from being people that you can actually interact with to bots or scammers in hordes… I would literally have 6 or 7 unread messages daily with the same greeting and as soon as you respond to their Heys and hi’s then they try to solicit you and it was back to back… so I took some time off the app until these issues got resolved to come back to a sign in screen and apparently Athena deleted my profile I had so much content on there… all my content was appropriately fitness related and I have tried logging in with my phone number my email and now I have 2 new accounts that I am not even going to bother setting up… felt like a huge waste of my time and my efforts to find like minded people were for nothing… huge disappointment and demotivated to even try and re start a new page for content…

I’ve been an Athena user for a couple years now. Wanted to connect with a broader fitness community than just the city I was in and took a chance on the app. This app has so much potential, good things about it, but the bots and fake accounts are OUT OF CONTROL. Many accounts “bored and looking to hookup” or “want to have fun, hmu on Signal or iMessage” with numbers in the bio, multiple fake accounts using 1 different pic but are the same bot. In all honesty, good app, again SO MUCH POTENTIAL! Major problem are the bots, maybe selfie authentication that used an actual photo or photos taken from the users camera, I’ll be a guinea pig😂 anything that could help this app be more successful than it already is.

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.
