Ganbaru Method

Ganbaru method isn’t just one of the many training apps with random workouts or maybe even AI built workout that tells you that they are “personalized”. Coming from a fitness professional, this app is not just for trainees, but very useful for professionals and trainers, as you don’t have only very good programs which you can learn from, you have an entire learning section with lots of top notch content on education about training, programming and nutrition. (Also better than various PT courses) You have also the community section within the apps where other users and all the coaches will reply to your posts about anything, so you have always the right advice on what you need, or just an objective eye or a technique check. Ganbaru offers real and thoughtful programs made and thought from great coaches in various fields with its latest update which is amazing. Other than the many programs made by the one and only Eugene Teo, we have many other great coaches and experts in their fields with other great well thought programs varying from hyper trophy, powerlifting, gymnastics, calisthenics, mobility, hybrid training, cardio and CrossFit type things. And everything in between! Every programs is covered with phases that build onto the previous with well thought progressions. You can even adjust and mix more training programs or single balanced workouts to your training week, and have literally everything you may need and wonder. If you’re in doubt, don’t search further for a fitness app!

Ganbaru method is now part of my daily routine and it changed my approach to workout. I started following Eugene a couple years ago on IG and I’m so glad he’s on the planet 🌍🌏🌎

The app is absolutely amazing!!!

The functionality is solid. Unfortunately just none of the programs were what I was looking for. I wish I would have had a chance to check out the hybrid bodybuilding program before I subscribed - the workouts were very long, the volume was too high for me (6 workouts in 10 days, I was looking for 4/week which is pretty standard), and a lot of the movements would have been very hard to pull off in a busy commercial gym. Wasn’t my cup of tea but I think it’s a cool app.

Started my free trial. It’s almost over and no workouts show on the workout tab. It says choose a program below but no program shows

I’m leaving this critical review to let the app team know that for any product company to be successful long term, you need to get the basics down so you’re not having people like me inundate your customer service for something as basic as resetting a password (that should still work with in the first place). I genuinely don’t need any more new features or updates to content when I can’t even access the app reliably. When major updates are pushed it seems to always sign me out and it’s always a gamble if my saved password will still even work when this happens. The only explanation is that my password is being deleted or changed without my consent. Otherwise, the content and programs Ganbaru offers is incredible. I do recommend them and would happy to update this review when I can reliably access the content I pay for.

Bought a program through the app that I was excited about, but then sent eight random workouts without any explanation of how to run them. Reached out for help three different ways over a handful of the days and no one got back to me at all until I got a short message saying I should “ask the community”, so basically post on social media to ask. App looks great but no support. Feels like a waste.

I'm a huge fan of this app. If I could add one feature, it would be Apple Watch integration to synchronize health data.

I’d look at the code and fix it for free at this point, because for $35 a month I expect a functioning app. A shame because it does look great for the few minutes it works. Wanted to learn flexibility from David, but he should consider diversifying his platforms

I like the organization and flow of the app. However. Day one and it was regularly crashing while I browse programs. Silver lining, once I started the workouts and timer the app never crashed and I’ve already completed two different workouts. I love having options that focus on specific skills (i.e. Handstands, front splits) along with overall strength training and cardio programs. Hopefully an update will fix the crashing because I really want to align my loyalty and stay consistent with this programming.
