Workouts by Muscle Booster Reviews

I never buy apps but I wanted to get a workout routine that was tuned to me and would progress as I do. I loved this app in the beginning, my muscles are more sore than any other workout I have done in the past. I’m a week in and my triceps are at their max so I figured my routine would move into my legs or abs, but it kept having me repeat the chest and arm strengthening. I found out today that the app is not tracking my progress, it doesn’t think I have been working out all week. For those that this is happening to, the developer requires you to hit the share button at the end of the workout to track that you completed it. This is annoying, I didn’t plan on posting to Facebook my workouts, the developer is trying to get free advertisement for a paid app. They need to add an option at the end to share or mark the workout complete. The good news is you can click on the share button, but cancel the actual Facebook post. This will mark your routine done but keep it private. I’m going to try that until my subscription is up and look for another app. Also, like others mention, the “contact us” button doesn’t work. I’m very suspicious of the integrity of this app. The workout have been great though so I hope they make some improvements. This app is too pricey for it not to “requires” free advertisement to Facebook. No one wants to see me post everyday I performed a daily routine for 7 minutes, how annoying I would be 😀

I don’t even know where to begin. I started off like many of you, a total loser. A lonely shrimp of us man weighing only 70 lbs. Someone who poured his milk before his cereal and ate Peanut butter sandwiches without jelly. That was, until, I discovered the Muscle Booster app. Within a short span I was able to put on weight, increase my PRs, get on a steady nutrition plan, learn to overcome my fear of talking to women and I even gained the courage to dabble in the stock market and grow my financial portfolio. I am now a married man with a smokin’ hot 6 for a wife and I have two 5 year old D1 bound sons (Arnold and Sergio) who bench press our Great Dane for morning warm ups. I expect them both to solve world hunger by 2042. Needless to say this app is quite the turn-around point my life needed. I swear by them. Live by them. Die by them. These workouts blow anchor arms outta the watta. If you want gains on an unparalleled level, give muscle booster a shot. “Shreddalations 3:12: Father forgive me for the gains I’m about to receive.”

Asked me for my body type and my desired look which is standard in a muscle building app but doesn’t have any real way of helping a person determine their actual body type. If I were to have more weight on me then I can’t determine how much muscle is underneath or even if I’m “skinny, muscled, or heavily muscled”. It doesn’t allow for me to type in my height, weight or anything that are needed to help determine which workouts will better sure my interests. The “get started” screen is a picture or a heavily cut man more standing like a egotistical model rather than a man modeling his physique. After picking my body type the app went to the target my weaknesses rather than my strengths. They call them “problem areas” :wimpy pecs, skinny arms, small legs. Connotations like that are unnecessary and not user friendly for someone trying to improve themselves. This app has been made to prey on the insecurities of males and push the typical negative agenda of what the mainstream media calls the “perfect male physique”. I don’t think there is any changes to be made to make this app better. I’d say throw it out and start from scratch. There are so many other apps out there. This one is a dud not needed in the lives of people trying to become more. Thank you for giving me the ability to rate this app.

I would give five star review because it has potential but extra frustrated this morning. I limited my time using this app for the past month hoping the glitches would be fixed or at least minimized. Wow, wrong direction guys!! This app has potential to be a top product that is why I continue to come back to it but is more unstable than ever. I start a work out only to be stopped because it freezes or doesn’t show the exercise even though the counter continues to run or gives me a countdown of 59 min. And I can’t skip because then the whole thing freezes again. I’ve restarted this work out five times now. Not really looking for a workout app that’s going to take the wind out of my sails. I wish I had pics but when the app freezes it freezes my whole phone which I have no other problem with any other app I use and I have a lot of them I use daily. Please fix.I will update this post and add stars as things are resolved.

After the first workout, I find that the App provides clear prompts and good visuals to show how exercises are to be performed. I notice that it does not seem to read or write to Apple’s “Health” App (even thought the read/write permissions have been approved on both the Health and the Muscle Booster Apps). The Apple Watch “Muscle Booster” App only provides the basics such as pause, and stop… It would be nice if it would allow the ability to start the exercise routine and also to advance to the next exercise from the watch App. Looking forward to to using this App on a daily Muscle Booster after 35 days… Thank you for the recent App improvements. The integration with the iPhone and Apple Watch is much improved. IMO, this App now rates 5 stars. The exercise selection is great and I’m seeing positive results. Thank you!

I have been actively working out on my own for 20 years or so and needed something to shake things up a bit. I also got pretty tired of coming up with workouts myself and thought trying something new might help a bit. The workouts are pretty decent and the variety didn’t disappoint. I have a home gym and do not always have all of the equipment that a commercial gym would have but the app allows you to swap exercises as needed. The one thing I would change is the countdown comments (“there’s a little time left”). After a month or two using the app, hearing that gets old. I have also noticed that sometimes there are bugs that result in two countdown voices happening at different times making it a bit confusing. Overall I think the app does its job maintaining my lean figure, I wouldn’t go as far to say that it has “bulked me up” any but with my high metabolism that is no surprise. My recommendation is that the app is certainly worth a go for someone trying to shake it up a bit!

The app has a wonderful data base of workouts and specific exercises by muscle group but I have two really big issues with it. I listen to a lot of my music on SoundCloud and don’t necessarily need to see how the exercise is done every time so I pause the demonstration video. However, by doing this it pauses my music every single time and whenever I go to the next exercise demonstration and I pause the demonstration it pauses my music again which is extremely frustrating. Also there is no way while doing a workout to go back to the full list of exercises listed in the full workout without completely stopping the workout to see it in list form. The other option is scrolling left or right through the exercises demonstrations but then again it continues to pause my music. Seems like a super good app but it really needs to make it possible to just pause the demonstrations without it affecting music and there should be an easier way to see the exercises listed in a list and not have to do the demonstrations while doing a workout.

A lot of people talked about free trial here so I thought it comes with a free trial. I downloaded it and purchased it. But then I realized that there isn’t one. I decided to give it try. I’m not a fitness expert but I personally don’t like it. The workouts look really basic and especially there are not many gym workouts. When I went to the developer website, there is no info on the people who developed the app. Are the people who created the app professional trainers? They’re very sneaky with the billing. So later I realized that if you download the app through the link from Google, you do get a 7-day free trial. But the subscription price doubles compared to direct download from the App Store. That’s so shady. I wonder how many are paying that much money. I looked more deeply into the reviews and realized that a lot of people had the same issue as me, and the customer service here imply Apple controls the refund. But if you go to Apple refund page, it’ll tell you it’s not within policy to refund. The policy is set by the App developers. Overall, I really have some suspicions over why this app is one of the top ranked apps but so many much better similar apps (Nike training club, Fitbod, Centre, etc.) are ranked far below.

This is probably the first review I have ever written for an app. I was on my way to actually getting back in the gym and this app was keeping me on track. I’ve gone to the gym for a long time and I know correct form and workouts, but I was losing motivation and needed someone to just get me there and tell me what to do. This app was doing just that. I downloaded and purchase a monthly plan on December 30. Right away I started working out on the regular. I could see what days I had worked out and tracked my progress. I opened the app yesterday to see what my workout would be today and guess what? It acted like it was the first time I had ever opened it after I downloaded. It is asking me all of the qualifying questions and wants me to pay....again! Firstly I have paid for this month (I double checked my purchase in my apple account) and I am not paying again! I want my progress back and I want the app to give me access again. I’m very disappointed that I can’t access it because I was on a roll. Thanks guys! Guess I’ll have cancel my monthly subscription (which I was happy to pay for a good while) and go to another solution.

I’m a 42 year old male who has had some decking health over the past few years. It has been a struggle to get the motivation to start working my way back to a better, stronger me. Especially since I am intimidated by the gym atmosphere and feel lost when it comes to developing a plan that I know will produce results. I came across this app and was a little skeptical on how well it would work, but I have to say I am impressed! I am 3 weeks in now and have already noticed a HUGE difference in my strength and endurance! I have even started to notice decent muscle growth and toning, all from following the plan that was developed by the app! No equipment, just my own body weight at home and now I am regaining my confidence that will in turn help me continue my journey of regaining my health and becoming a better/stronger me. Thanks Muscle Builder!!

I love the workouts and the way they work, I just want it to work with my Apple Health app and sync my steps, weight, height, blood pressure etc and everything else a regular workout app uses to help personalize the experience for each user. If you can do this, I won’t need to hit start walking, and then walk 30 minutes and hit stop once I’m done in order to record that. I walk more than half an hour a day everyday, I just don’t log it. It counts in my phones pedometer via the Health app but I want that reflected on the app too with my workouts and I want it to affect the way my workouts will be when I start to do it. I would gladly pay more just to make it easier for me and make it easier on everyone else who are having very similar issues as well. It’s a feature that’s expected that isn’t there and it’s kinda disappointing that we pay for an app that has so much potential but lacks in the basics. If these features get added, this app would go from a 2-star to a 5-star top 5 fitness apps in the App Store. Just the basics are lacking.

I’ve had the app for a few days and it is pretty nice the workouts are great I like the schedule and routines it puts you in but my problem with this app is that the meal plan is not very good I am looking to bulk up and there are several food options but none of them involve any meat meals or really any weight gain plans also there is no true way of tracking your progress like I meal tracker you can put in and in my case a tracker to see the amount of weight I gained and in what time frame and what I was eating during that period where I was gaining weight there is really no progress tracking at all in the app I can’t even see the ideal weight goal I set in the beginning Changes - I would say a better meal plan that includes meat diets like chicken beef and other forms of meat ways to track progress so it can be seen And track the meals that were consumed during high progress moments in goals

I’ve been using this app for 5 months regularly. I’m 56yrs old and I’ve I’m definitely seeing results. I love not having to worry what workout I need to do each day because they have designed a program for me. A 7 minute Morning Routine to warm up followed by a workout tailored to different parts of my body. I always leave the gym tired and feeling good. They build in some rest days or easy days so I don’t burn myself out. I recently had an issue where my app wasn’t working. I sent an email and an actual person wrote me back within minutes! (Thanks Alex!). I’m sure the issue will be fixed quickly because they take their business seriously. I will gladly renew my 1yr subscription when it is time to renew.

Hello developers I purchased this app a couple of weeks ago, I used it once and I liked it but for personal reasons I was not able to continue to use it for like a week but as soon as I was able to I got to using and working out with the app. I was using the app without any issue until after a week into using it (fully) that I starting having issues. At first it was that the workouts would take 10-15 minutes to download, and then I tried to get on yesterday to do my workout and I couldn’t get in. At first I thought that it was a loading issue so I let it load for 30 minutes and it was not loading at all, like I didn’t even see the Home Screen that has the workouts. So I said whatever I will just try tomorrow. Today is tomorrow and now the app won’t even open, so I deleted the app waited a bit then got it again, I tried opening it but it still wouldn’t open… so yeah I need help with this because I spent 105-ish dollars on this…so any help would be appreciated.

I really enjoyed using this app for the first week. The gym/home combo really adds to the daily workout time. However, I have noticed multiple bugs / room for improvements: 1. Workout cannot be switched in the middle of a session. All changes have to be planned ahead. This is not a user friendly feature, as I might want to switch workouts in the middle of a session given how busy different stations are. 2. Workouts can get stalled even though they are completed, which means you could always have the same session showing up in your to-do list as the next one. 3. Countdown voices can be buggy and overlap with each other. I can hear overlapping countdown beeps in the same workout. This is a very distracting bug. Given the reasons above, I have decided to go back to the market and find some alternatives to this app. The ideas and actual workouts of this app are good, but the execution is faulty.

I never would have downloaded this app if I didn’t need home workout ideas during quarantine. I’m a mid 20s male who was at the gym 4-5 times a week and I stated that when the app ask you a questionnaire in the beginning. Rather than give me a workout that made me sweat and tired daily, like at the gym, it’s mostly stretching and abs. The stretches are things you learned in middle school gym and the abs are from any ab workouts you’ll find on the internet. This app switches from timing you on certain workouts, to giving you a number of reps to do (Example 20 squats vs 30 seconds for squats). The workouts that are timed only give you time to do so many reps to the point that you have to run through an extra cycle or two by yourself after the workout is done to even feel like you got a workout at all. The only reason I didn’t give this a one star review is because as terrible as 90% of the workouts were, I did get a handful of new home workouts out of it that I didn’t think of originally. Save yourself the money and do different variations of pushups, squats/leg workouts, and look up an ab workout, along with running/walking. You can find these anywhere on the internet. The best part about fitness apps is there’s a lot more out there to choose from. I would suggest looking up target muscle groups that you want to build, and build your own workout instead of spending money on an app.

Muscle Booster’s customer support team is non-existent. I cannot get the help I need for the technical issues I am experiencing. My uncle, who is a busy CEO also purchased a subscription to this app is also experiencing issues and no one is there to assist him. What is going on with you guys? On Monday I did a leg and shoulder workout from this app. It was excellent. Now it's Wednesday and presumably time to do a Chest workout. I load the app to checkout what I need to do and it says Legs & Shoulders. My Monday workout for some reason was not logged and there is no option for me to manually log my workout or switch todays workout to Chest. Instead I have to pretend it's Friday, which throws my whole flow off. The Contact Us under settings is just there for looks and give you no actual option to contact someone for help. Also, some type of log to insert the weight I worked with would be nice. *edit* it is now Friday and it has not registered I have worked out at all this week!

I’ve had the app for 4 days, purchased it so I could get some new exercises into my weekly routines. I am not new to working out nor inexperienced. However having a program to track and rotate your exercises for you is a time saver. Especially when you enjoy changing up your workouts. I have had this app for 4 days. Completed a morning workout each day, to include suggested workouts, as well as an additional workout in that time. Not one has been tracked, the history shows no workouts completed, and the contact us in the application does nothing when clicked on. So besides being able to select workouts and do them. I had to manually track the workouts completed, which I was doing before the app. I have the correct version of iOS operating system for the app and I have no issues with any other applications on my phone. So I paid 63 dollars for basically a list of workouts for a year, which I already new 90% of. Very disappointing.

This is my first review I’ve ever left on an app, but I felt I needed to write this review for the sake of other users. I used this app for the first time today. The app was not what I was expecting. After I completed one workout I accidentally hit the exit. It would not let me cancel my exit and did not give me credit for the workout. It kept blaring “still some time left”, “just hang in there”, and giving me beeping tones even when I was back to the home screen. The sound was blaring over my music and distracting and the user interface is annoying. There is no trial period for the app, and the plans that you’re forced to pay to use it at all are extremely incentivized to pay for a full year. I tried refunding my yearly subscription within the hour but was not refunded my $60+ payment. Overall, the app has very little personalization, the workout setup is frustrating, and the cost of the payment plans are not worth the app. I would not recommend this app.

I look forward to using this app every day. I needed a change in my life and I tried this back in April when I worked from home and then I stopped after a week and a half. I went through my wedding in August not looking my best and feeling low about myself but hey-it’s 2020, right. Well I’m on a mission. I got my playlist going and I’m on a mission for transformation and wow I really do feel the results. Granted, I’ve been eating so well and with 1 cheat meal a week. The daily menu helps me out and I got some good recipes from there. This app def feeds my competitive nature and I love even the little confetti thing at the end of a session. Anyhow, give this app a shot! Looking forward to using this app for a very long time!
