BodySpace - Social Fitness App

Yall gonna do any kind of update to this app anytime soon?? The last update was 2 years ago!

I’ve been using BodySpace for a few years. BodySpace has the largest library of exercises to better track your workouts. The app also does a great job showing your progression.

App is decent. But too difficult to customize. Also, it won’t save my settings to record workouts in kg, it always resets to lbs, no matter how many times I click save. Very frustrating when stationed in Europe and everything is metric.

I’ve been using this for years and it’s one of the best social apps I love using. Some hiccups but they are quick to fix the issue

I’ve used this app nearly daily for years, logging more than 2000 workouts. I like the database and can design workouts on my laptop. A big problem with the app is that when I try to use a custom workout template, I frequently get an error message that these aren’t available - to try again later. If I quit the app and restart it, the custom template is now available. Sometimes it takes multiple restarts. Sometimes it will tell me, “You have no history for this exercise” for something that I’ve done many times. Sometimes it won’t show previous stats for an exercise. Again, quitting and restarting seems to restore these, but it’s very frustrating enough to deduct some stars. The biggest problem is that the app is totally server dependent for accessing past workouts. These are not saved locally, so when the server is down (as it was recently for a couple of weeks) I can’t access previous workouts to know what current load and reps should be.

I have tried a number of workout apps and there is not a single app out there that offers the number of exercises, workouts, or programs that BodySpace does. The ease and flexibility this app offers, in every aspect, is like having a free personal trainer. I have even looked into paid apps and there is nothing even close. Thank you BodyBuilder.com for continuing to provide the public with this amazing training app.

You can't even change the username in this app, they give u a random name

Used about five years for tracking workouts. Keeps track of pr’s and total weight lifted. Five Stars!

I have been using the app to track my workouts for over a decade, not because I like the app, but because there are no better options. What’s good: The workout plan and tracking are very well designed, offering a lot of customization options. What can be improved: The app is clunky. There are constant connection issues that you can’t see any of the workouts plans. The shutdown sometimes last for weeks. At times, you can build a new one but are unable to view any pictures of the exercises. Sometimes, it’s completely non-functional, not even allowing you to build a new workout plan. The UI is among the worst I have ever used. The flow is weirdly designed; figuring out where to add a photo, where it shows up, and how to add friends and see your friends is so confusing that I’d rather just avoid any of these features. It’s such a missed opportunity. I’ve been looking for a fitness social app that can really activate users, connect them, and build a community. I see a lot of potential for this app to achieve that, to become an Instagram plus Nike Fitness for fitness enthusiasts. However, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Edit 4/19/24: app works again but have moved to just using a google sheet for tracking. Bummer Not even able to transfer that data or routines out
