I was excited to have an app to lead me through home workouts during pregnancy especially during quarantine. At the start (in second trimester), I was enjoying the app overall. My biggest complaint was that I didn’t feel I was getting enough cardio and there is no way (so far as I can tell) to customize the workout type (eg have more cardio routines to select from in a given week) apart from repeating a workout. As the weeks have gone on, as other reviewers have noted, it seems the exercises are just recycled —I’m doing the same exercises I have been, perhaps just in different order, for several weeks without any new additions mixed in. In addition, the trainer in the video barely appears pregnant so in my third trimester I’m following someone that has a lot more range of mobility etc. it seems for a pregnancy dedicated app, the very least it could do would be to film instructors at about the appropriate prenatal stage... there is a lot of room for improvement and I don’t feel I will continue with the app beyond the initial period I’ve already paid for.

I, at first, fell in love with this app for the weekly circuit workouts. They were a perfect addition to walking and yoga during my pregnancy. However, there isn’t sound and they don’t include transition time in between exercises so I had to be prepared to makeup those missed reps later. Well, now in my third trimester the circuits stopped. Are they not done creating them yet? So now I’ve tried using the MyFitnessStudio portion and the workout orders are not correct. Today I did a workout that went from warm-up, to cool down, and then the workout. Do the creators not test these out before they post them? Also who creates these workouts? One had a lot of bridge exercises so I was on my back for a long time and then there was reclined twists which can be unsafe. I hope they have certified instructors creating these workouts because women are trusting you. Review your own app Baby2Body so you know you are charging women for the app you are intending to give them.

I’d purchased the membership primarily so that I can get a variety of prenatal workouts in and now that I’ve used it for a couple of months, I can say that there is definitely room for improvement.

My main gripe with the app is that the membership fee is not cheap and the workouts all revolve around a handful of exercises and they just recycle / repeat the same exercises. This means there’s no variety both within the class and across classes. Additionally, it seems like there’s no customization as one progresses through pregnancy - the workouts I’d done in week 25 is about the same as the workouts now, so that begs the question of 1) whether it is safe and 2) shouldn’t the exercises be changed over time as the belly grows?

For an app that charges over $10 a month, I would expect there to be more effort involved in designing these workout classes.
