GAINSBYBRAINS: Fitness & Food

I did want to love this app so much but I have a few pointers that they should address asap. Without that I am not sure I will renew my yearly subscription. - easier and more accessible way to input your weights and reps (for example a slide up bottom to see your previous weights/reps and then there you input you reps and weight of your current workout). Now you have to click on the side and then choose from a menu. You also have to “add new set” always. In short: a lot of clicking for something that you have to use every few minutes. - a way to pause the video showing (drains battery + internet) - the most important one!!!! Since the beginning of the launch (almost a whole year now) there haven’t been added any weeks to the existing programs. Which means that everyone using this app have been doing the same workouts for almost a year now. I know you need consistency, but finishing the last week of the program and restarting back to week 1 for a whole year is just not nice. In this case it is better to buy a guide than to pay a subscription. The app costs 120€ per year for the same programs over and over without any updates, het guides cost around 30-40€ which you’ll have for life. They should really do something about this asap. - the recipes are nice and at times I “like” one so I can prepare it later but I cannot find the ones I liked anywhere?? I do want to clarify: the workout that are in the app are absolutely amazing!!! Sophie is incredible in what she does and again the workouts are amazing. I just wish I could continue the Hourglass program with the same intensity it ends with in the last week.

I used to work with Sophie’s guides and was excited with the app launch. But the app keeps logging me out, it doesn’t keep track of my trainings, I need to recalculate the trainings, and it’s not flexible, I haven’t felt consistent with this app at all. I am a little mad I paid for the whole year. Definitely not coming back to this app

Me sentía súper entusiasmada por la app primero pagué tres meses en los cuales tenía problemas porque se cambiaban los días de entrenamiento y tenía que estar saliendo de la app para que se acomodaran, volví a pagar tres meses más y ahora ya tengo dos semanas que no me aparecen los entrenamientos, sé que es nueva y trabajan en mejorarla pero dos semanas me parece mucho tiempo y no tengo las rutinas.

Realmente esperaba más de la aplicación! Desde un inicio aposté por ella… Pague una anualidad precisamente por lo mismo, tiene muy buena programación pero batallo mucho porque los días se cambian solos, es demasiado inestable, hoy no he podido tener la programación del mes, sale en blanco para toda la semana, y por más que actualizo y la elimine y volví a descargar tampoco funciona! Se sale a cada rato y debo volver a iniciar sesión, todo lo que tenía se borró… y es una app que se usa diariamente y en esas condiciones no me parece justo… yo no quería dar una mala reseña pero esto es casi de siempre, por eso decidí hacerlo hoy! Porque todo cuesta y merezco un buen servicio

Los ejercicios están increíbles y las recetas deliciosas

I subscribed for the yearly plan and the app crashes, it changes the day of work out randomly, some recipes doesn’t load, between other things. Hope you can work this things out or I want my money back.

So many glitches. I hate how long the workouts are and they’re the same every week. There’s several things they can work on. I cancelled my subscription and got the app Ladder! It’s like having a personal trainer walk you step by step. If anyone’s looking for a different app!

Personally, I think everyone is far too harsh reviewing this app. I wouldn’t give it a 5 because there are some personal gripes I have with it, such as not specifying if the single leg workouts/stretches are each or you’re supposed to split the set, and that you can’t choose to start on a Saturday it automatically starts on a Monday, and I’d also love to be able to put what my PR is for a weight on that workout. HOWEVER, I’ve been using it for a month and already have results! I’ve been doing the hourglass program 6 days a week (not super consistently, I missed some days here and there but I was fairly consistent) and I went from a 27-38 to a 26-39 :). Regardless of some technical errors that are way fewer than the reviews lead you to believe, this app gives results, and I think thats the most important takeaway here.

When setting up the app there is a screen that asks you “on which days do you want to work out?” I selected the days and the “next” button would never “ungrey”. No matter how many days I selected or what I did the next button never became active so I couldn’t use the app at all :( I just blew my free trial so if they flix the glitch I’ll next get to try the app. I wish she would use an existing app like Playbook. That app is awesome and works.

Was really looking forward to getting this app. It won’t go past the 3rd screen
