BridgeTracker

After analyzing many of the applications on the market, Bridge Athletic is by far the one that provides the best resources, appearance and support. One of the things that I value a lot is the speed with which they respond to any request or questions you may have with your user account, rate or with the operation of the app.

Good app. I use it mainly because that’s what my trainer uses to write programs for clients. Something I’d like to see is a UI refresh and the ability to connect Apple Health to the app so that metrics like weight/sleep/etc. can be tracked.

Overall I think it’s great. Have gotten some good feedback from clients saying they like the interface and it’s been easy to navigate. I would like to see the “alternate exercise” option in the app for writing programs. Safari on the iPad Air doesn’t quite support editing from the browser (just takes a while) so again, having the alternate exercise button would make this top tier.

There are an absurd number of prompts and mandatory “performance logs” required to even view a workout. Do you want to review last week’s workout? You’ll need to navigate 3 pages of menus and questions. Then enjoy doing it again if you want to go back to today’s workout. Also I hope you have a good internet connection wherever you workout.

Not a good app at all

And no sound on videos. What a waste of time

The new ui is a downgrade from the previous. The timer/stopwatch gets stuck over the exercise, and when I swipe down it often goes to the next or previous exercise instead of dismissing it. Also, the countdown timer defaults to 59 seconds and not the length of the exercise.

Amazing app and features to make programs for your clients. This is an absolute game changer in my business as it saves myself hours of writing programs and makes it easier to implement in our personal training sessions. Single handedly best change I’ve made to our gym in years.

With Bridge my workout is organized and clear. Video demonstrations, timer, and a space to put the amount of weight lifted are just some of the accommodations Bridge gives you.

I have been using Bridge Athletic from the start. I use it to deliver programs to clients who do their workouts on their own or come into the studio for PT once per week and do the other workout days on their own. I also have a client in London. I started using the program templates (limited) but ended up writing my own custom programs. I upload my own exercises and create my own custom templates. Tech support is limited.
