Fitness Buddy Home Gym Workout Reviews

I only downloaded FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout today, but I’m sold on it already. With custom workout logging, thousands of exercises, tons of workouts, comprehensive plans, meal guides, and top-notch calorie input, and more, FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout is truly an all-in-one jackpot. I look forward to logging my progress and reviewing insights all in one place. I was considering paying higher, separate subscriptions for three other apps that did what this one app is able to do! And the subscription cost for this one is cheaper than any of the others! There are a few features that I would love to see added like widgets, exercise swapping, and custom HIIT / duration based workouts. I have experienced a few glitches while diving into FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout , and I got immediate response & resolution from their support team. I am going to continue with the 3 day trial, and as long as FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout continues to run smoothly I’m sure I will be purchasing the full version!

I figured out a way around what I posted below, so it’s good again.

I have been using FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout for over a year, and I have loved it. After a run or a bike ride, I could do a quick strength training workout. I could specify the amount of time, what equipment I had, and what parts of my body I wanted to work, and it would give me a workout with a variety of activities. With the most recent update however, I can no longer do that. I have to choose pre-programmed workouts, and I have to do three repetitions of each one. I don’t like the new format and I miss the old feature. I may not renew next time my subscription comes around.

I tried to send them a message about FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout not working and received a “failure” message every time. I just got FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout today and I’m completely dissatisfied. This was the message I repeated tried to send to them : “ Hi, I purchased your app today and I’m not satisfied with it at all. It set up a basic 12 week program for me to lose weight but I didn’t put any information about my weight in FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout to get this plan. When I found where to manually put in my current weight and goals it told it it would develop a plan for me to lose my weight by May 25th. I went back to see if any thing had been updated and nothing had changed to reflect my new plan. I took several of the nutrition quizzes to see which would work best for me but once I answered the last question it just took me back to the last page without any explanation whatsoever about if that specific plan was right for me. I do not want to pay $30 for something that is not going to deliver the results it promised. I would like my money back.” What a complete rip off.

I’m just trying out FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout but already I’m noticing some issues.

For some reason, when I do a workout, the calories out are not logged as part of my exercise (yet for some reason the amount of calories is posted to my profile feed). This is a annoying bug as it makes it hard when I look at my nutrition page to see all my calories out, and seems like it would be a simple fix. Also it would be nice if I could quickly add meals, exercise and weight information in FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout on any page. It wasn’t intuitive that those options would only be on my profile page and for some reason the profile page is the far right option?

That being said the recipe suggestions are nice and like the customization based on goals.

I lift weights and I’d like to plan my workouts better. To make FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout better you could add the following- customizable workouts based on what is recommended. I don’t like how the workouts are the same. We should be able to design our workouts based on the muscle groups we want to hit and there should be recommendations for what we need. We also need different kind of sets for instance, super sets, warm ups, pyramid bench, etc. lots of other things that need improvement. Wouldn’t be that hard to program a rest timer into FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout or having different workouts for a weight lifter vs a bodybuilder. I’d be glad to help, I’ve tried a lot of different workout apps and I know the exact layout that could make it a lot better.

I use FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout nearly every single day and love what I can do with it! I’ve been an avid user for nearly 6 years now, and have trimmed the fat and put on serious muscle by being able to track and progress.

Unfortunately the update that released today caused breaking changes which causes my app to crash immediately upon opening. I have tried restarting my phone and even deleting and reinstalling the application with no success.

Even worse, their website has no link for customer support (that I could find). The only option to contact them outside FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout is a contact form on their website which does not work. It displays a “failure” message, which I have seen others experience in past reviews.

FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout is wonderful but if you are going to release changes that cause it to break, and not address the issues with your lack of customer support options, I can’t give it a 5 star review like I would normally...

Please fix your app and address your customer support.

I’ve tried various apps, gyms and trainers but nothing has kept my workouts consistent like Fitness Buddy. It’s amazing to me that others are still using less comprehensive and structured apps. Fitness Buddy gives you everything from pre-made workouts that fit your specific goals, to the ability to create your own exercise plans, to individual meal plans that will give you optimum results. FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout can be your own personal trainer for a ridiculously low price. Or it can keep you on track with your trainer as I recently started doing for myself. I’ve used Fitness Buddy for almost 2 years and it just keeps getting better and better.

FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout is wonderful. Even the free version with ADs provides an individual with way more coaching and guidance than needed. The reminders to get a premium version is really their way of telling you; “hey look what more you can get at A ridiculously low price!” The premium versions work out plans literally can eliminate the need for a gym membership. They use compound exercises that don’t require you to work out all day. As a mom with 4 children and one of whom is disabled this is exactly what I needed and I’m so glad they pestered me to get the premium version. FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout when used as a self-motivated indivisible is amazing!

FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout is great, I use it every day. I use both the pre made and I build my own workouts but either way it makes working out so much more efficient. I used to jump around to different workouts in the gym before because it was hard for me to keep track in my head. This settles that and has made my workouts so much better. You can also see what weight you used before so you can beat it. It has a lot to offer but once you get to the highest level there isn’t much for variations, more should be added.

Still do like FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout but “booo” on the way individual exercises are searched and filtered now! I used to be able to have both intermediate and advanced level exercises appear in my search… But now it’s just one or the other.

Here’s a suggestion… When an exercise is search based on a particular muscle (i.e. abdominal, obliques, flutes, etc), I believe there should be a sort option that will show 1st show the exercises where that muscle group is targeted most, then second, etc... i’m not sure if I’m describing that well… But if I want to work my glutes and it is the fourth in line muscle that is targeted in an exercise, I don’t want to see it at the top of my list just because it falls that way alphabetically.

FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout was the most comprehensive and flexible compared to all of the other apps I looked at. If you don’t choose it over the rest, the only reason I can think of is because some menu options are tricky to find. Otherwise you are missing out on keeping a comprehensive record of what you’re doing to go where you want to go! Don’t forget: failing to plan is a plan to fail. Failure to document means it didn’t happen.

Love FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout. Helped me a lot when I was making a lifestyle change that incorporated hitting the gym. One thing I wish would improve is: sometimes FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout closes itself while you’re in the middle of a workout. Once that happens, it completes your workout right then and there. If there was a way to possibly “resume” the workout rather than having to start all over and manually check off the exercises, reps, and sets all over again, that would be awesome!

The breakdown of each muscle group and exercise is fantastic. Love FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout, definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get in the gym and do it right.

I’m one of those people that tend to wander aimlessly around the gym wondering what else to work on. FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout is great to keep you on track as you input your reps and sets and even the resting time is convenient. I even like the meal plans available as well! My only issue is that FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout glitches every time I try to share my workout on social media. It’ll first say error and then have a window repeatedly open and close and you can’t get out of FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout unless you turn your phone off. Fix this bug!! Cuz that’ll only motivate me more if I can share my progress and gain support from friends and followers!

This is a great little workout app, tons of workouts to choose from that can fit into pretty much any schedule! The meal plan section needs some work, the meals say they are one serving, however the quantities of ingredients and calories listed don’t match so it looks like the recipes might actually be for 4 servings. The vegan section definitely needs some better planning, some days the meal plan would only work out to about 800 calories for the day which is too low for anyone, especially someone who is exercising! There are no instructions on snacking or portion sizes to consume.

FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout really doesn’t work for me. I️ can barely do anything as a result of the constant nagging to upgrade to premium. Sometimes it’ll freeze on the upgrade screen, which makes me want to upgrade less anyway. I️ downloaded FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout to get meal plan ideas that fit my dietary restrictions and when I️ take the quiz, it gives me suggestions completely disregarding them. FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout has a fantastic UI, but the functionality needs work. Great potential here, but poor implementation. I’m deleting it for now and I’ll try again in a few months. I’m very hopeful for FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout because it seems like this could have been a winner if it wasn’t for the aforementioned issues.

I can't speak for those of you who are committed to exercising regularly that know what exercises to do (and how to do them). But for a novice to (regular exercise) this site is so useful. It shows not only how to do the exercises, but provides a person to exercise with "at a pace" controlled by me that I can manage to keep up with. I'm mounting a tv to my basement wall where I exercise so I can plug my smartphone into the USB Port and follow the personal trainer much easier by sight, and remote control. 😊👍🏋️

I bought a year subscription, because of the all the positive reviews and I am quite surprised by FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout itself.
When I finish a workout it takes ages to get recorded to the Calories tab and even then it disappeared over night.
Step count is totally inaccurate ignoring info from the Health app, where my fitness band is synced.
I cannot report the bug in FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout , because the function is not working for me (please set up your email).
I have to use 3 apps (Argus for dashboars, Buddy for workouts, Calories Mams for intake, to take photos of the meals) and yet I still do not have correct overview of my day, as recorded information can disappear over night.

This has always been my favorite app. I love the function of selecting exercises by muscles and the explanations of which exercises main effort which muscles.

Since FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout added as many pop up ads that cannot be exited out of as my computer as a kid when my mom wasn’t home, you cannot use several of the filters. This is due to the ads at the bottom of the screen blocking the, “Apply” button in many instances.

FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout no longer being any different than myself going to DuckDuckGo and looking up, “exercises for [insert muscle name here]”, I’ve opted to give this one star. I came here to get off the Internet, not use a smaller version of it.

I really enjoy FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout, I use it 4x a week to track my progress. My only complaint is that the calories burnt is not accurate. Harvard Law did a study that showed the average person burns 90 calories every 30 minutes doing strength training exercise. Honestly I view this as a huge issue, it’s spreading false information about the amount of calories you’re actually burning which can lead people to eat more. I did a simple 60 minute strength training workout tonight and it said that I burnt 900 calories, this is obviously not true. This is almost false advertising. Thank you.

I’m enjoying FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout , like the workouts and eating plans. What all these calorie tracking apps are missing are a way to set your days. I work 3rd shift and so halfway trough my “day” the counter and workout change over to the next day and I have to change the day when I’m counting back to the previous day or I’ll forget and record things on the wrong day. Maybe you can have an option in settings to customize when your day starts and ends. That would help out a lot! Thanks!

Too many ads and way too much pestering to go premium/subscription. There is a reminder for premium just about everywhere you look and each time you go somewhere. And what about the item in Settings called "baseline?" All I get when go there is an ad to buy a healthkit; thinking it was just there to see before I could enter info for a baseline, or set something, I dismissed it. Lo and behold, nothing to see, you just get kicked out to settings. Not going to try to use FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout a few times just to see if anything changes with the "baseline" item because can't seem to set up a workout like I want, with the elements of my normal routine. Doesn't seem to be a way to combine running and/or biking with some different exercises and weights. All I want is a simple, useful log for my workouts, to record distance, calories burned, time spent on workout elements. A timer would also be very, very useful. FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout doesn't combine the features I want; I'd be interested in using it and trying some of the workouts or exercises in it if it also had the features I need. The annoying ads and upgrade pestering is too much, though, when I can't find all the features I want and regularly use. There seem to be a million apps out there for logging weightlifting routines but not any good ones, from what I've tested so far, for combining a bit of weights with long runs or bike rides, a few other exercises and stretching. So, time to delete.

I downloaded FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout with a high level of enthusiasm and optimism however I soon discovered the ridiculous scam that is “Fitness Buddy”. The first option you’re given upon completion of your profile is to upgrade to premium (not so uncommon) but I want to try before I buy as any one would, right? I passed on the upgrade and dove in to see what FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout could provide me that I couldn’t find in any other app or free resource and was dissatisfied immediately. The list of options for workouts is minimal, home workouts is non existent and every time you touch the screen a countdown to get the upgrade at a “discount” begins. Another overwhelmingly unrealistic expectation set by FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout is that you WILL look like a fitness model but only by way of using this ingenious application.... intimidating many users with overly buffed up gym rats sets a negative tone with many people simply trying to get more active and begin living a healthier lifestyle. The amount of used car salesmenship for the premium and jacked up models was too much. I know everyone is in business to make money but the creators of FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout do not give a user the ability to try any features without handing over their checkbook. Definitely not worth downloading!

I love FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout! Not only does it provide you with a myriad of workout routines it allows you to create your own workout for variance. I have only been lifting for about three years the last two years being more serious about my workouts trying to gain mass while getting fit! FitnessBuddyHomeGymWorkout has allowed me the independence to use one of their workouts and then fine tune it with some additional routines! I live it, well worth the money!
