Flex Fitness: Gym Workouts Reviews

by Jrdnmccllm

$20 a month to change a exercise mid workout is absolutely INSANE or pay $120 for a year…
They have to implement a mid tier or something. For someone that is simply trying to track weight progression and doesn’t care about all the extra stuff that FlexFitness includes then this one isn’t for you. FlexFitness is clean and looks good but it’s either a $120 commitment or $20 a month… insane.

FlexFitness being free is completely misleading. I understand having an option for a free trial, but I wish it stated that you HAVE to make a purchase to even use anything. I’m not looking for another subscription. I know it’s as easy as uninstalling FlexFitness , just kind of annoying that it isn’t advertised that you MUST have a subscription to use FlexFitness .

FlexFitness is useful but I am finding many glitches that interrupt and confuse me during my workouts. For starters, the rest times are never consistent. When I set my rest time to thirty seconds, sometimes it’ll choose to default back to two minutes and other times thirty seconds. I also find that FlexFitness skips over many of my exercises. Also, when I pause a timed exercise, FlexFitness will randomly choose to resume the workout and I’ll come back to FlexFitness to find that I “missed” several minutes of workouts, and I have to skip back to where I had left off. Other times, during a timed exercise the exercise will end as if the time was up, even though I still had time left. I really want FlexFitness to work, and I still find it useful but it becomes very frustrating while I’m working out.

Been using FlexFitness for a couple of weeks now and I enjoy being able to create my own workouts and fitness plan. A key feature that FlexFitness is missing, though, is the ability to save plans for future use. Currently, if you want to implement a new plan the previous plan is deleted with no way of future recovery. Would love if users were given the ability to save workouts in a library and choose from it when building plans.

Also, while I love the idea, the apps interface isn’t the most intuitive and does take some fumbling around to get used to

I had just started using FlexFitness this week. I made my own plan for 4 days. I used it the first 3 days without issue. Today, I went to go start my work out with a previously created plan, and EVERYTHING was erased. Had this not happened, I would have given 5 stars. I wish I could get the work outs back, because they took a long time to plan out every detail.

FlexFitness is great. It’s a bit non intuitive at first. The lay out for your own workouts you created Can get messy. If you want a better experience at less than half the cost check out smart gym. FlexFitness would be perfect if it had a half step for people who want to make their own workouts and don’t want all the suggestions.

When you edit the days in your plan to rearrange rest days and then hit done, it doesn’t save any changes. Also ironically the big report and contact buttons don’t work they just show an alert saying “Bug Report” with an okay button 🤣 Seems like a bug! Beautiful design but not signing up yet.

I’ve been trying to find an app that has programs to use but also allows me to add in my own sets/workouts, and so far I love FlexFitness for that! Although, there is a BIG limitation if you’re only using it for free, like me.

$100+ a year is expensive for a college student like myself for a fitness app. That $100 could go to use elsewhere. And only having the free version limits the ability of trying new workouts, connecting my music, and editing the workouts beyond the weight and reps.

I’m debating on purchasing the premium version, but am still trying the free version now to see if I can get used to it. There are some workouts I’m actually surprised aren’t automatically in the database like standard military presses or landmine squats. But, adding them as my own exercise is really easy!

So, overall, I do love FlexFitness , I just wish there would be more options with the free/non-premium version. Definitely recommend to those who want an app that’s good with rest time, easy changes to weights and reps, and for beginners who may not know where to start!

Really like FlexFitness, but is missing a pretty big feature of being able to create multiple plans to switch too and from.

Right now, you can only have one plan and if you create a new one, it immediately erases your old one and the entire exercise history which is a pretty big bug that is the only reason I put 4 stars not 5.

Once they have this feature and can successfully cache exercise history, I will change this review to 5 stars.

Great interface and easy to navigate. A friend of mine recommended FlexFitness so I thought I’d give it a try. So far 5 stars

FlexFitness is beautifully created and is a pleasure to use. It’s perfect for a guy like me who likes the option to use plans with or without equipment.

I would be happy to pay $10 or even $15 a month but $20 a month is a lot to pay. But I love FlexFitness and concept.

by Djhunne

I love FlexFitness and because of the freedom in curating workouts. I hope that they expand the workout library!

by Lezce

I feel like I could write for hours about how good Flex is. Your workouts are personalized, so you’re never bored and always challenged. I just love everything about FlexFitness.

by Tristanjwhite15

Great workouts, great amount of equipment and exercises both with weights and bodyweight. Apple Watch tracking is terrific and the AI-generated workouts accomplish my goals while allowing me to easily make changes as needed.

by MilieS12

I love FlexFitness and the fact that you can create your own workouts!! I would love if I could share a workout with another user tho! Or create a plan for both of us that can be edited by both parties on the premium side would be great as well!!

So I’ve been lifting and working out for years on my own but after awhile I found myself repeating and doing the same stuff, stagnating if you will. With Flex, my workouts have been reinvigorated and I cannot get enough of it. From building my workouts to the plans they provide this is an amazing app!

by Disciplined Rabbit

After 3 days of using FlexFitness I can confidently say that this is the best app for logging routines and scheduling workouts. The demonstration of the workouts and knowing which muscles are being worked on is a huge plus for beginners. The only downside to FlexFitness is that you have to pay in order for the Apple Watch compatibility to work.

by FluffyMashmallowComfortPillow

Perfect app, except for one thing: I assign certain workouts to certain days, but they are off centered. For instance, “Push” is on Tuesday and Friday for me, and it is the same in my plan, but when I look at my calendar, it is on Monday and Thursday. Is there any way to fix this? Surely FlexFitness would be five stars if this could be changed! Thank you!

Edit: Fixed and 5 stars!

I’m an individual on the Autism spectrum and I can’t express enough just how beneficial FlexFitness has been in rebooting my fitness journey.

Having an app that lays everything out for me — including tracking sets, providing exercise explanations and tutorials, and building routines based on my own performance — is a game-changer.

But the coolest part might be that FlexFitness feels like it’s always been a part of my iPhone.

Everything I need is laid out for me in an easy-to-understand way, which super helpful for someone who isn’t as familiar with all the nuances that come along with fitness training. And user-friendly interface and overall organization make FlexFitness the least intimidating experience I’ve had.

I’ve tried many workout apps in the past, and this one is the best.🦧🦧 orngtang⬅️⬅️🤯

by Toxic Hazmat53

This is the best fitness app available! It’s very organized and easy to use!

by Rolney2

Seriously cool technology, it is a great tool for tracking workouts and creating new workout routines.

This is literally the best app I’ve ever used for working out.

I’ve been with Flex as a beta tester since (almost) the beginning, and I can’t recommend FlexFitness enough! Creating workouts is SO SIMPLE and using one of FlexFitness generated programs is awesome too! I started using FlexFitness by using one of FlexFitness programs and it was LEGIT. I eventually started doing a different program and with FlexFitness I never have to worry about logging info or increasing weight because FlexFitness does all that for me automatically.

The exercise library has grown tremendously! And now that you can add custom exercises, there’s no excuse to not do the exercises in an outside plan you might be inputting.

Freestyle is a recent addition and I was actually so excited when this launched in beta that I made my husband (who does NOT workout lol) go through all the workouts with me 😂 he has the patience of a Saint, I tell ya lol.

I LOVE FlexFitness! I love it so much that I decided to continue beta testing for this company. They have been so easy to get in touch with and always so kind and really just have been great people to work with.

Definitely check out FlexFitness ! Get the premium version, it’s 10000% worth it!
