The DB Method Reviews

by KatChrissy

TheDBMethod… where to start.

It doesn’t link to your watch, or play on anything but your phone screen. Be prepared to enjoy finagling a way to watch your phone screen while trying to do the workouts they have listed if you’re doing anything other than the basic squats.

It doesn’t link to Apple Health, so there’s no way (other than to open your db app) to keep track of the workouts, which is insanely inconvenient, especially for those trying to streamline their workout journey and see ALL their progress - not just the progress that plays nice with Apple Health.

It ALSO doesn’t link to your activity tracking, so you can basically go f yourself if you’re trying to use this to close those rings and share your pre-wedding workout stats with the other people in your wedding party like every other workout app on the Apple platform does.

The subscription cost is laughable for the minimal amount of programs they have. Let’s be honest, there is only so much you can do with this machine and it’s accessories, and you can buy workout set posters, resistance loops, resistance bands, and weighted belts/bracelets/anklets from other retailers for less than the cost of 6 months of this subscription. You’d also have a lot more options for your workouts going that route.

TheDBMethod is genuinely disappointing, but at least their machine lives up to the hype.

Do better db.

I see they only respond to certain reviews! Nothing on TheDBMethod worth downloading! Offer more free workouts, they are basically the same anyway!! Also how about the 30 day challenge. Take a look at your overall ratings….2 star is not getting you popular I see why you are getting a lot of 1 stars!!!!!

You spend all the money on the machine and only get about 8 free workouts on TheDBMethod . There should be way more than that before having to buy the monthly subscription. Or lower the subscription fee. Not happy

Really enjoying the actual machine! How we TheDBMethod has ALOT of room for improvement. $10 a month is a little steep for the very small and limited selection of classes and programs. Also this cannot be played on a big screen, so not very convenient. Would also love a search option to look up a specific workout. I’m glad that they offered a free month trial, because I would not have been happy to be locked into monthly subscription for the limited selection.

TheDBMethod is absolutely terrible. I get so frustrated with it I end up making up my own workouts and god knows I’m not qualified to do that. It won’t load half the time and you can’t watch it on anything but your phone. My results won’t be as good because I have zero guidance. God speed.

by Shouldnt Be Charged For This

I’m very disappointed to see that we do not get TheDBMethod for free! There are numerous amazing workout apps out there that are free. So not only do we have to buy the equipment but also pay to use TheDBMethod especially when all the videos are on the website for free.

TheDBMethod is terrible. I’ve never been able to access the premium content and it always tells me my subscription will renew rather than letting me access content. I’ve installed and uninstalled TheDBMethod and also done the same for the subscription. It’s a shame too because it looks like the content could be good…

by Louise Mensch

I have subscribed and unsubscribed, deleted TheDBMethod , re-subscribed, nothing works I cannot see any premium videos and it keeps asking me to subscribe when I am already subscribed. Apple Dave’s should have a look at the bugs here and remove this from TheDBMethod Store until they have fixed the ability to login. There is a restore subscription button which does not work. PS I am using the latest Apple iPhone 13 max. It’s not me. It’s you, DB Method.

I’ve been doing this program and machine for over a year. Saw this and thought why not. But honestly for $9.99 a month no I don’t think so . I thought as a lot of other apps are free . I’m just as happy with the you tube videos . Please refund me if you attempt to charge me . Extremely disappointed. Nice machine but I’m not going to pay to exercise on this or any other app. Thank you

I had done my first workout with my Bluetooth headphones, now after disconnecting and trying to watch with mount my headphones, the sound won’t work. Now I can only listen with the headphones. Pretty annoying.

Also there are so few workouts, they really need to add more. I feel like I could get through all of them in the first month and just cancel my subscription from there.

It shows that it is enabled to cast to a Google Home or Chromecast device, but does not allow you to connect that device. It gets stuck on the “connect microphone” page every time.

by Johrka

I haven’t been able to access the subscription content for the past week even though TheDBMethod recognizes my subscription is active and valid. Customer support has been unresponsive in communication. Planning to cancel and requesting refund.

Just downloaded TheDBMethod . No videos have any sound

by Dnwhit

Discontinuing membership because TheDBMethod continually crashes when trying to start a workout. I have enough data, no other apps running, phone is up to date on software, and it still happens. Very disappointed!

by Traveling Mrs K

I was really excited to start but I can’t get TheDBMethod to work on my Chrome device. It downloaded no problem but it’s freezes at the intro. It works fine on my iPhone but I would like to be able to see the videos on a larger screen.

by Gyrlfr58

I would love TheDBMethod more if it would not drop during the work out the trainers are awesome but TheDBMethod is not strong enough it keeps dropping during the workouts and it also needs a lot more work out activities!

by Miszicy

I really like the videos they have up for this machine but I can only watch them on my phone. Airplay and casting support needs improvement

by Ashtanny

Waiting on getting it I’m so excited to be able to cancel my gym membership because this is the only stuff I want to focus!

by Uniquediamond185

I have no problem with sound and I can AirPlay the videos to my Samsung 7 series TV. It’s a good app with many workouts.

I love my DB Method machine and have realized doing 10 mins a day for me is more of an achievable goal than going to the gym. TheDBMethod is a great compliment and helps me add variety to my workouts!

by Mona Bly

I can’t use TheDBMethod because no sound comes through.

by Minsue Bell

I have tried multiple things and TheDBMethod has no sound!! Every other app works on my phone

by Bradmmmmm

I read through some of the earlier reviews and agree that the sound cuts in and out, as in it toggles from my ear buds and the phone. This causes you to stop and then restart. Also during one of the videos, I saw an error message (red screen with six lines of text in different languages) pop up and go away. Very distracting and also concerning. Can’t justify paying for TheDBMethod just yet. The video catalog good. I need it to be great in order to pay for this. Also maybe do some trouble shooting videos on proper form. More of the mechanics, especially for tall people.

by Kelseyb123456

There really isn’t that many videos to justify the price. Most of the videos don’t have sound for some reason.

Edit to add:
Thank you for your response! I can make sure to change that button next time
