HYBRID | Strength Coach Reviews

So, I have never done CrossFit. I have been going to the gym to do general fitness for three years. Never had a coach or a trainer. Finally decided to get a little structure. 4 days in to this and so far I want to cry every day once I have finished the workout. I must be crazy because i continue to come back. So far HYBRIDStrengthCoach has been great, from the tracking of each set, notes section at the bottom where I can explain what I did if I wasn’t able to complete the specified movement, full range of workouts on each day so it’s not just hitting one muscle group. I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend to everyone to try.

I have used hybrid for 1.5 years. I started on the web based platform and now on HYBRIDStrengthCoach . The structure and evidenced based training has really improved myself as a competitive athlete. Video are super helpful to better understand the movements. Access to coaches has been super helpful with form checks and questions. It is structured with purposed and isn’t some bro science programming. It has helped me reach powerlifting and physique goals. It provides the template and you have to put in the work. 100% worth it in my opinion. -willowgahr

Very disappointed about the “bank for your buck” trade off.
The monthly subscription is high compared to the quality of the content of HYBRIDStrengthCoach . There are no links to instructional videos for any of the movements prescribed. The creators didn’t even bother create their own videos demonstrating the movements. Instead you watch a coach talking for 15 mins about how to do the movements. Really?
In terms of capabilities, for instance, when pull ups are prescribed , it doesn’t consider this is a body weight movement, so the “weight” field is not necessary, but it forces you to add a number.
As soon as I finish my program I’ll cancel my subscription.
Thanks

HYBRIDStrengthCoach is missing so many features that would make it 5 star and I honestly expected more from an app that hosts Mat Fraser’s programming. Especially since Hybrid strength is such an amazing brand! Things I wish HYBRIDStrengthCoach had:

1. It would be incredibly convenient to have HYBRIDStrengthCoach work offline. Currently deployed and the wifi is so bad I can’t pull up workouts.
2. For workouts with a percentage, I wish you could type in your 1RM and it would calculate each one for you.
3. To be able to see your previous numbers of a same workout instead of going searching through previous days and even then it doesn’t show percentages it just shows weigh lifted so you can’t tell exactly what the workout was.
4. Small but annoying, when I type anything into the notes the keyboard blocks the text box so i can’t see what I’m typing.

All in all decent app but so many small things that could make it so much better. Needs some better User Design to make the experience much better.

HYBRIDStrengthCoach is amazing! So it’s so easy to get started building and logging workouts. The exercise library is super helpful, And It seems like every few weeks there is an update that adds a cool new feature! It has been the best thing for my training in a long time.

I prepaid for a year membership through the webpage and HYBRIDStrengthCoach . Came out shortly after that. I contacted tech support for hybrid and they said they would not be able to transfer my membership and I would have to start a new subscription on HYBRIDStrengthCoach despite already paying for a year of hybrid training. Additionally one of the reasons I bought a whole year was the discounted monthly price that applies after the year is up. If I switched to HYBRIDStrengthCoach that discount wouldn’t apply. Very disappointing. I like hybrid training but I feel like as one of the OG subscribers to hybrid fitness, we haven’t been taken into consideration at all for the new app. It’s mostly just for new subscribers they pulled in with Matt Fraser.

HYBRIDStrengthCoach is a great concept but is seriously lacking both support and features. The lack of an ability to go back and view previous workouts when locked into a current session is a major flaw. What good is a notes section if I can’t easily go back and review my notes without cancelling out of the session and essentially rebooting HYBRIDStrengthCoach . I went from recording my workouts on paper for three years to hoping this would make things easier. I think it could work, but it needs some serious revamping.

I’ve sent several emails to the support team that have not even been responded to. HWPO?

Disappointed because the program you pay for isn’t connected to HYBRIDStrengthCoach and I hate using the webpage to look at the programming for the day. The webpage is also frustrating to use in the sense that you can’t pick your own days to workout it already has set days for you to workout on and you can’t move to the next on your own. So since I finished week 2 already it won’t let me move on to week 3 even tho my off days were diff from what it was set to. Not sure if I’m using it wrong but I’ve literally looked in every aspect of the website to try and change it and I can not. Program is great but man this has so much potential to be better.

I have been using the HWPO60 program. I like the workouts and design. However HYBRIDStrengthCoach it not helpful in executing the working efficiently. You are able to enter your PR’s for exercises, but for exercises based on percent of PR HYBRIDStrengthCoach doesn’t calculate them. Also there isn’t a countdown timer. For example if you are supposed to do strength sets every 2 minutes on the 2 minute mark there should be an Emom timer built in. Also when a new PR is achieved it does not automatically update your PR’s list. I use another app with all of the above features integrated. It is a nuisance to import the workout just so I can follow the program efficiently and track my progress.

I used to write my own programs & constantly hitting plateaus in my training. I’ve been following the Hybrid powerlifting program & been loving it. Previous personal records have been smashed & I haven’t even peaked yet. The results are real!

Unfortunately if you are already a subscriber of the Hybrid Training Program, HYBRIDStrengthCoach isn’t connected to your account so you can’t access the programs or material you’ve already paid for; this is a separate program that you’ll need to pay for as well. Disappointing because I really dislike using a webpage on my phone for accessing the programs and was excited for HYBRIDStrengthCoach to drop. Hopefully they link these later but until then HYBRIDStrengthCoach is useless to current HPM members.

Two main things that are aggravating is not being able to rearrange the exercises after they have been selected which seems like a simple enough fix. The other is having the ability to write in your own exercise since many are missing from the platform…

Timer disappears if you try to look at anything in HYBRIDStrengthCoach and pauses if you turn off your phone screen.

Notes section deletes what I type and sometimes adds it again. Other times I have to type it just for what I previously typed to pop up again. Kind of annoying.

I have been in fit for over 6 years and this program by far is the best for my body and mind strength!

Got bored with the repetitive nature of the work out programs and paying the outrageous fee to simple conduct the same work out every 3 days. Went to cancel and couldn’t find the option within HYBRIDStrengthCoach so contact the support channel. Was told to go through HYBRIDStrengthCoach even though I expressed in the email I wasn’t presented that option. Poor customer service for an overpriced repetitive workout program.

Have had HYBRIDStrengthCoach since the HWPO workout came out. It’s terrible. I like the workouts but the interface is absolutely terrible. It doesn’t calculate weights for you so you’re busy doing math that HYBRIDStrengthCoach should take care of. Recording weights and whatnot is not great and it does show what you did last time so what’s the point. I ended up just making an excel with the workouts and will cancel at the end of the month.

Needs a workout reset button for the whole program and a notes tab that lets you actually see what you’re previous lifts were and how much stronger fares you've gotten since starting

I love that you can place photos in the wods. But I wish that the timer would stay up even when I tap the screen for rest

I really like HYBRIDStrengthCoach what I don’t like is that I use my iPhone and IPad but constantly being logged out is frustrating. I wish we were able to log on to multiple devices at the same time.

It's still new but HYBRIDStrengthCoach shows a lot of potential and the programing is top class

HYBRIDStrengthCoach is a game changer. Love having my HYBRID Training programs here. The videos and workout history are super helpful!
