Grounds: Fitness App For Women

This app is so comprehensive and the interface is stunning and easy to use but there definitely needs to be some development. Initially the workouts were lacking some things. The inability to reorder and modify workouts was difficult because if you’re in a large gym and machines aren’t available etc. They fixed this feature for the most part just need to add a few staple movements to the modification sections that aren’t there. There are lots of different types of workouts, the meal tracking is phenomenal, the water tracking and cycle tracking is great, and the journaling and community features are awesome. However, I have some notes that were almost deal breakers for me and almost lead me to cancel most of which has to do with syncing to apple health. Apple health offers a lot of these features like water tracking and cycle tracking and it doesn’t sync so I have to either type my information in both or choose one or the other which is not ideal (its actually super annoying). The other huge issue I have is that there is not syncing to Apple Watch and if you close the app on your phone the workout timers stop. I don’t like checking my phone every ten seconds during a workout. I almost switched back to Whitney Simmons alive app (even tho the workouts got tired and its not as comprehensive) just because the workout and timers don’t sync to my watch with Grounds and the calories burned don’t sync accurately. They really need to work on this if they want to be a competitive platform.

Obsessed with these workouts

I love the concept of the app. I love having a period tracker, macro/food tracker, and my workouts all in one place. I appreciate the challenges and the premade workouts. Overall, the app is awesome. What isn’t awesome is the amount that it force closes while I make changes to my daily food logs. And, most recently, it’s decided to force close during my workouts and refuse to reopen. I’ve now had to delete and redownload the app a total of 4 times just to get it to work again. There have been so many bugs corrected since it’s debuted and I will continue to use it, as I am a huge fan of Heidi and the strong women she has chosen for her Grounds team. However, it’s very inconvenient and frustrating to have everything mapped and planned for success just for the app to not corporate.

I have been a Grounds member for just over a year, and I am impressed by the continuous improvements. They are always updating the app and adding new programs, which keeps everything fresh and exciting! I started using this app during a challenging time in my life as a new mom. I was trying to navigate my new responsibilities while struggling with body image issues and my health. I also lacked discipline, battled depression, and dealt with PTSD. One year later, this app has played a crucial role in transforming my body and my mental attitude. I have developed more discipline and am better at showing up for myself. It offers encouragement and takes the planning out of my routine; I simply show up, and it tells me what to do. I am committed to being a lifetime member because this app has truly changed my life.

I’m a few weeks into using this app and so far I love it! I would like to see a few additions to its offerings - like expanded nutrition info in the meal tracking section - but they are openly accepting suggestions and feedback on improving the app in the community part of the app, so I have confidence that things will continue to improve on here in positive ways! That said, the meal tracker is great, the workouts are challenging, and I love the community element!

Loving the app it’s so easy to follow the exercises ! They show you how to do it properly and even how long to rest. You can re arrange the order you want to do the exercises incase your gym is busy like mine! Love everything about the app!

I have tried so many different fitness and health apps over the years. The grounds app is the best app out there it has so many great features like meal, water, and period tracking. This app is one of a kind and a must try. 🤍

Workouts are great and easy to track food. I love the dashboard. It shows everything in one place as well as having a cool modern look.

I was actively working out 6 days a week on top of an already active lifestyle (hiking/biking/etc). We moved remotely for the winter and I needed an option for home workouts as I am limited on days I can spend in the gym. I was skeptical on how the app would work and if it would be challenging enough. I am on week 2 of the burn challenge and I am surprised at how sore I am from week 1! I also enjoy the period tracking and reminding me that it is normal to have low energy during certain “phases.” I also really love the detailed descriptions to perfect form as this is often an area people struggle in. Nice work ladies! Loving the app 🧡💛

Some workouts are labeled as shoulder workouts and contain only back exercises. Workouts are way too high volume- like 8 different exercises in one workout plus 20 min cardio machines on top of that. Exercises within a workout are redundant- like basically two different versions/modifications of the same movement.
