Baby2Body: Pregnancy Wellness Reviews

by Preety224

Good workouts, weird interface. I waste to much time navigating back and fourth from the list of workouts back to the workout. Theres a pause button that should be used for breaks when needed.
The workouts are decent, i usually feel great after the workout itself. Just the list of workouts, breaks. There should be a easier:faster way to navigate to the next workout or back, pause as needed. Baby2Body needs work. Weird transitions. One minute I'm using a band around my leg, then next exercise i am not, then I'm using the band again. Do you realize the amount of time it takes to move the band up and down your legs, let alone when your prego.

I, at first, fell in love with Baby2Body 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 this app so you know you are charging women for Baby2Body you are intending to give them.

I was really excited about Baby2Body and wanted to try it out. In my experience “in-app” purchase apps still have some functionality without purchasing. And they let you test drive parts of the locked stuff to see if you like it before giving your billing info and having to cancel later. Very disappointed in this as you can’t do much of anything on Baby2Body unless you sign up for a 7 day free trial. And everything you click on leads back to a page asking for $7/mo. Makes it seem like a money grabbing app, not one out to support moms to be and their well-being. I would recommend “what to expect” app if ur going to pay. At least they don’t seem like they’re reaching in your pocket every 10sec.

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 Baby2Body 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 Baby2Body beyond the initial period I’ve already paid for.

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 Baby2Body 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.

I am using Baby2Body primarily for workouts and pelvic floor exercises. I don’t have much at-home exercise equipment so I have to do a ton of modifications. It would be nice if there were more exercises that didn’t rely on special equipment or large exercise balls. In terms of UX, the pelvic floor exercises are buried in the overflow menu instead of accessible from home screen. And it would be nice to have more granular control over notifications.

Finally, it would be great it if could track things like weight or blood pressure which are so important to pregnancy and then integrate with the Apple Health app. Thank you for creating and continuing to improve this product.

So many flaws in the UI. Airplay doesn’t work. There is no prep time between 2 exercises. If I by mistake click on an exercise which is already finished, it marks it as incomplete and then the whole session will be marked as incomplete and I get an option to resume the session. Worst of it all AirPlay not working properly. It works sometimes and sometimes takes forever to automatically load the next exercise and screen mirroring has same issue. Very frustrating to use Baby2Body .

The exercises, meal plan and other things are good. But if we can’t use Baby2Body peacefully then the whole experience gets screwed up. They should really focus on improving the user interface.

I was so excited to find Baby2Body and have purchased the premium and been using it for a week now, but in the middle of the workouts the exercise will simply stop loading and I’m sitting waiting for it while my heart rate slows and I lose the burn. At first I figured out that if I click on the next movement it will load more quickly SOMETIMES, but mainly it just glitches more. Another day I tried to let it “load” aka sit for 30 minutes before I even click play to begin the daily workout, but that didn’t work either. I use 5G WiFi and have no issues with slow connection in the house, I have deleted Baby2Body and re-downloaded it and re-started my phone to troubleshoot at no avail. If this one glitch would be fixed I would be happy to rate Baby2Body a 5 star! The workouts are challenging and easy to follow along, and I love being able to track my progress. I do wish I could track what I eat in the “kitchen” but I just had to download a separate app for that. I am a single mother and a lot of the recipes do not seem budget friendly, but the recipes are listed and arranged to make them so simple! I do hope to try some of them as my pregnancy progresses. All in all it is a very cool app!!

I downloaded Baby2Body for the workouts and really new to Baby2Body , but first impressions are.... the exercises are great, but the transitions between each exercise are awkward. While the video example is great to have, they just start way too late! There seems to be a long pause where the model isn’t doing anything, like she’s almost waiting for the voice over to explain before she starts, so by the time she shows you what to do, half the time of the exercise clock has run out. I’d recommend the model should already be in action doing the exercise routine right from the second the time starts (not 5-10 seconds in). I also think the cool down is too long (almost as long as the main session, I’d rather send more time in the main session. I’m going to keep using Baby2Body for now and see if I get use to the awkward pauses and maybe as I get further along I’ll appreciate them, but for not completely sold in this so look at other options too.

I subscribed Baby2Body as an option for a home workout during my pregnancy and quarantine period. I added my goal of exercising 4 days a week for about 30-40min. At the beginning I noticed that the videos was always crashing, so an exercise plan of 40 minutes normally takes longer as it restart the whole exercise. The plans are pretty similar, over and over, and not only there is a slim model on the videos (not a pregnant woman on an exercise app designed for pregnant women) but also a bunch of lunges for example and other exercises not really good or comfortable for 20+ weeks pregnancy. There is a huge amount of repetitive exercises during a pla. I’m 23 weeks pregnant and it has increasing the number of lunges and other extreme exercises as well as sending longer plans (47 minutes). They offer repetitive shorter options in case you wanna reduce your time, but really, same exercises all the time! I will not continue with my subscription and I’m extremely disappointed! Do not recommend!

I couldn’t decide if I should give 3 or 4 stars. Here’s what I like: the tracking feature. You are given a set number of workouts to complete in a week (I have mine set to four because I like to run/walk in addition to using Baby2Body). The set number of workouts to check off my list keeps me motivated. I like the pelvic floor exercises because otherwise I’d never do them. There are also other features like audio workouts (I suppose people use these at the gym as opposed to watching along with the video) and you can always search and do more than your recommended weekly workouts.

What I don’t like: the workouts can be very repetitive within a set. For example it’ll have you doing donkey kicks all workout long it feels like. They could spice it up a bit and work the same area in a different way. I also don’t like that the advanced option isn’t very advanced. I’m a pretty fit person and really enjoy working out and I give it my all every time so I expect an advanced workout to make me sweat and tire me out. Oftentimes, I feel like I could keep going for wayyy past the end of the workouts.

Edit**** the developers heard our concerns the glitches have been fixed. Since it’s a new app there’s always room for improvement. Some exercises are missing equipment needed before it starts. For example there’s some workouts where I’ve needed a mat since there’s floor stretching but it didn’t have it in the equipment needed. But it do enjoy that the model doing the exercises is the same stage of pregnancy as I am to ensure the safety of the movements.

Edit**** they added demonstrations before workout but a lot of times during the demonstrations it glitches and when it goes to the workout it will jump to half the workout or finishes and goes to the next**** hope they fix it

I love Baby2Body , started using it as I entered my second trimester and had to slow down from my regular HIIT workouts. However, I do feel it needs a bit more time between workouts to either grab the weights or put them down. I end up missing the first few reps. It seems that it’s the same workouts weekly which I thought would be different as my growing belly will get in the way of some. And wish there were some more weight training for upper body workouts. Other than that love the exercises and videos

I just downloaded today and I’m obsessed. However, I wish there was a way to add journal entities from previous weeks to Baby2Body . I’ve been using Ovia and a journal app combined thus far and wish I could just add the information from those apps in previous weeks to this one and solely rely on Baby2Body from here on out. But I feel like I have to keep the other ones so I can remember how the first few weeks went. Maybe there’s a way to do this and I haven’t seen it yet but I feel like I’ve searched all around. For example, I’d like to add my pictures from weeks 4 and 5 instead of starting at week 6.

I started Baby2Body during my second trimester and it was def worth the investment! Each week you get 4 workouts with 4-5 bonus workouts If you want to do more! I also love the weekly recipes and daily bites of information. You can also log your weight and water intake too. Looking forward to continuing this even post pregnancy as well. If you download this def use it to your advantage Baby2Body has so much to offer. I wish it had an option to save workouts, that’s the only thing other than that it’s great!

I never wrote a review on any app. I absolutely love this one. I was a bit hesitant, because $20/month (I didn’t want to do the whole year subscription) seemed like a lot of money for an app. I am so glad I did it. I don’t have any gym membership, so $20 a month to get me work out 3-4 times a week is just so worth it. Workouts are safe, yet challenging! I didn’t really like the pregnancy workouts on YT, because I practically didn’t feel them. With Baby2Body I can definitely tell I worked out. I don’t really use the recipes, but I really enjoy the pelvic floor exercises and the guided meditations. It’s also very esthetically pleasing and super easy to navigate. 5/5 from me and thank you for Baby2Body!

It’s tough to dig through all the prenatal apps out there, but this app offers easy to follow video workouts that you can take with you on the go... to the gym, beach, living room, wherever. It can also be confusing as your pregnancy progresses to know what exercises are safe and accessible while still challenging. They tailor to your fitness level and desired frequency. I also love the pelvic floor exercise timer and recipe options. Worth paying for, but it’s great that they have free content available as well.

by Deevadev

Fully recommend Baby2Body!!! I used Baby2Body through my second trimester into my third. It helped me stay motivated when in my beautifully changing body. I thought I wouldn’t be ready to exercise postpartum, however, thus app is beautifully designed to move with you through recovery. I also needed to make a change to my account and received a personal response from the customer service department within 1 business day. Hooray!

by Babybrain247

I never leave reviews but I wanted others who are considering downloading Baby2Body to know you have the option to keep Baby2Body 100% free! they do offer premium accounts for less than a Netflix account, but they have plenty of tailored workouts and meditations to follow along with and I appreciate it SOO much. This is my first pregnancy and Fitness and well-being of me and my baby is my #1 GOAL and Baby2Body is great help and reminder for my baby brain! Download Baby2Body, you won’t be disappointed!

Becoming a mom-to-be for the very first time is an amazing roller coaster ride . The amount of apps I have downloaded for this baby are definitely in the double digits but I have deleted some of them , I kept this one around because it’s the full package ! There’s Zen breathing which I just began doing ( it really helps ) , meal and recipe ideas , and full workouts ( did one today ! 💪🏾 broke a sweat and I felt amazing ) designed to your fitness level . You get a lot for it to be a free app but you get even more with the in app purchases ! I recommend Baby2Body to anybody that’s on their way to motherhood

by Metz Brown

Baby2Body is amazing for pregnant women feeling lost on what things to eat, which work outs are safe, and it keeps you wanting to stay on track! It’s super important to eat healthy to FEEL good. Specially in the first trimester. Which in my opinion it’s the worst time during pregnancy because hormones can really take a toll on how you feel. I feel extremely tired and sick if I don’t work out and get good foods in my body, so Baby2Body teaches you different recipes that will help you through “morning sickness” which is all day sickness for me.

Do yourself a favor and just do the free days and write them down. Because once you buy the subscription, you’ll be doing those same days over and over. I was so excited to have new content in the second trimester. I got so bored with the same workouts every week. There was two days of new stuff and then it went right back to first trimester workouts. WHY. I bought three months worth so I’ll continue. Hopefully it gets better.
Update 2/9- even better. Baby2Body keeps glitching. I have to reclick the moves to keep it going. Workouts are taking forever. (No, it’s not my internet connection) I repeat, don’t waste your time.

by Laurenvieira

The only reason I’m giving three stars is because Baby2Body is gorgeous and I’m sure its great once you purchase it. I’m trying to save as much as possible before our baby comes and spending $7/mo on an app isn’t worth it for me, regardless of how good Baby2Body is. I thought the free version would at least have some functionality but it’s a total waste of time. All of the content is locked until you purchase. It would be great if Baby2Body had at least some features that made the free version worth keeping. I downloaded it and immediately deleted it unfortunately.

by Puneezzy

I have been using Baby2Body since I got pregnant and now I am in my third trimester. It has few glitches that need to be fixed specially if you are paying $10+ every month. While using the fitness studio, if you make it full screen, it looses all the time and is stuck on 34 seconds. So by the end it will show you that you have only completed 34 seconds of workout and not the actual timing. It’s kind of annoying, specially if you want to share your progress. Please look into it.

by PaigeNF

Love Baby2Body! Having guided exercises for each phase of my pregnancy has been really helpful and has kept me motivated. Only downside I have is some of the transitions from one exercise to another is unrealistically fast. For example when switching to an exercise that has ankle weights it doesn’t allow you time to get ready and then the pause button doesn’t actually pause the exercise so you get behind. Overall love Baby2Body and if that was fixed it would have 5 stars!

I’m loving doing these workouts every morning. I’m super early in my first pregnancy and was trying to find an app that knew what I should do to stay fit and be safe for my baby! The workouts are simple but I am always starting to sweat by the end of it. Gets me in the right mind set every day! Love the recipes too :) I’ve only done a few days so far and I’ve noticed the warm ups are always the same. Do y’all add variety through the trimesters? Thanks for putting this together I really enjoy Baby2Body!!

by A_manderss

Definitely worth the $6.99 a month price tag! The “thought of the day” quote helped me get through a lot of challenging and exhausted days during my pregnancy and postpartum period. My only complaint is that I can’t listen to music on my phone while following the workout. Makes working out at the gym a little boring since I enjoy working out to music. Overall, a great app with lots of yummy recipes, helpful tips, and great advice for staying emotionally, physically and mentally strong ♥️

by Sarah.k.Hau

I found Baby2Body during the last week of my second trimester. I am SO disappointed I did not find it sooner! As a very athletic woman trying to maintain fitness through pregnancy I was ecstatic to FINALLY find an app with real workouts that are challenging and yet safe to do. The advice and daily tips are absolutely wonderful compared to the outdated advice I found in other apps. Seriously, Baby2Body is worth every penny of the small cost.

by Mama Moonlove

Even before I got pregnant I was trying to find a workout that wasn’t too strenuous for my back. I saw Baby2Body on an instagram Ad and checked it out, figured I would give it a try. I loveeeee it! It’s nice and short so it’s not too much, easy to fit in your schedule and great workouts to get you moving. I do it first thing in the morning and I feel stretched out and ready for the day! Thank you for Baby2Body!

I’m really loving Baby2Body so far. I’m one week into the exercise program, and I am feeling so fantastic and proud of what I have accomplished so far. I paid for three months of the extra workout features, and I’m really glad I did. Definitely worth it. I’m enjoying the other features too like the articles and quotes. I’ll be recommending Baby2Body to my pregnant friends for sure!!
