Fitness App (ABC Trainerize) Reviews

This is one of the worst health & fitness related apps available. It crashes daily, crashes during workouts , doesn’t sync properly with my Apple Watch, doesn’t properly record workouts , doesn’t properly update from my fitness pal foods and frequently leaves out entire meals and steps. I could go on and on, basically every it claims to do it doesn’t do. And guess what happens when you reach ont to customer support ? They have you delete and re download FitnessAppABCTrainerize over and over again , never taking responsibility for their own bungled technology. Guess what customer support, Re downloading it on a now daily basis does nothing to fix your poorly made technology. All it does it drive your customers crazy. On top of that they have blamed my watch &
Phone as the problem.
Here’s the thing, I took both devices to Apple and they’re working perfectly, they run every other app perfectly. So how is it that I can operate phone, my watch and every other app but yours but somehow it’s my fault as a customer ? How about fixing your app. I have no choice but to use it because it’s FitnessAppABCTrainerize my trainer uses, but I hope he finds a new choice soon. Trainers, watch out , you want accurate stats on your clients ? Don’t look here. Your clients will eventually drop you out of frustration.

Let me preface this review by saying that I love what Trainerize has done for my business. I can now give clients the holistic experience and coaching they actually need to successfully change their lives. FitnessAppABCTrainerize works well enough most of the time, although it’s a little rough around the edges. It crashes more than I’d like but the third party integration and automation capabilities make up for that shortcoming. I’ve built a solid business through FitnessAppABCTrainerize but more personal training apps are popping up every day and if anything ever causes me to switch, it is Trainerize’s non-existent customer support. I regularly have to wait days to get any sort of response and when I do it’s usually some canned email that doesn’t address my issue. Only after I’ve emailed back saying as much do I get any sort of genuine help. That can take up to a week sometimes if it happens at all. I expect more from software I pay over $700/yr for. I don’t want to switch software, but if this continues I’ll be looking at other alternatives.

FitnessAppABCTrainerize needs a lot of upgrades before it’s a 5 star app.
1. They need more exercises that users can add, outside of the training plan provided by the trainer. For example - indoor spin versus outdoor cycling. Yoga. Hiking. Right now the options are so limited, it’s incredibly frustrating.
2. They removed the ability to edit a workout provided by a trainer. We used to be able to edit and substitute an exercise (like a kneeling plank vs a dynamic plank), but that’s gone with their most recent update which basically makes it unusable.
3. Their change management process is chaotic at best. They push out changes outside of app upgrades and so you never know what you’re going to get when you open it. It also makes FitnessAppABCTrainerize unstable and crashes - probably because they are updating it behind the scenes in the middle of the day.
4. Weight tracking - the shortest increment for tracking is THREE MONTHS! Every other program out there has at least weekly graphs. They have weekly and monthly for other body measurements.

I understand the purpose of FitnessAppABCTrainerize but the amount of glitches and issues is beyond ridiculous. When the rest timer goes off, sometimes it will lower your music and then never increase the volume again until you go into your music app, pause the song and then play it again. Currently, it signed me out so I could not track my workout last night and probably won’t be able to do so today because it keeps telling me my login is incorrect, even after resetting the password. Sometimes when I start my workout, the time on my phone and the time on my watch do not sync and the timing is off. Or I’ll end my workout and it’ll start again on it’s own. One time it told me it had been tracking my workout for 18 hours, when I had already stopped the workout and saved it! My trainer will also upload my workouts and it will show on her end but not mine, which is frustrating. FitnessAppABCTrainerize has the potential to do so much but these issues need to be fixed ASAP!!

I signed up with TWZ in early January 2022 with the intention of getting in shape and getting off all meds by May. Zein takes the time to interview you to understand how your body works and then design a program that is specific for you! Zein is very knowledgeable in health and wellness as well as fitness. Her exercise program is low impact and touches each of your muscle groups. As you progress she ups the program to keep you moving toward your goal. I enjoy the program and actually look forward to doing my exercises.
Thank you Zein for everything!!!

My trainer uses FitnessAppABCTrainerize with all of her clients. A lot of things have improved over the years, but the latest update has changed the background so I can’t see the timer, notes icons and other options while in my workout. It seems the background and the icons are both white. I just happen to know where they are. So, when I tap them, they work. 🤷‍♀️. I unsintalled FitnessAppABCTrainerize and reinstalled it and still it is like this. Other users in my fitness group are having the same issue.

One change I would like to see is when the timer is going, that it not pause automatically if I quickly leave FitnessAppABCTrainerize to say, change my music during a test period.

I’ve had to reinstall FitnessAppABCTrainerize at least 4 times but I think I found the bug. Since I have an Apple Watch, I try to connect it to FitnessAppABCTrainerize and when I do it finishes the process and then it crashes. When I go back to the setting, it still says it’s the Apple Watch is not connected and FitnessAppABCTrainerize continues to crash after about a minute, no matter what screen FitnessAppABCTrainerize is on. It would drain my battery and make my phone very hot. I wonder if this is the same issue other users are experiencing.

Uninstalling and reinstalling FitnessAppABCTrainerize fixes the issue and then I just don’t try to connect my Apple Watch anymore; until there’s a fix.

I’ve used several training apps and keep coming back to this one. Feels intuitive and thought out. I like how simple it is to build a workout and tweak it as I go. MFP integration is done beautifully.

Only improvement I recommend would be the demo videos. In the middle of the workout, I don’t need an explanation. Just need to see how it’s done. Also, some demos are done with poor attention to detail (poor form or long winded cues) and several videos have edit cuts still in them. I like that I can plug in my own but would love them to be consistent.

Keep up the great work! It’s paying off!!

FitnessAppABCTrainerize allows me to stay connected with my trainer and a group of ladies who are on the same or similar health journey.

I have been using FitnessAppABCTrainerize for about a month and I love the accountability that is in place. I can get to the group chat directly through FitnessAppABCTrainerize , all of my daily exercises are listed and I can track any additional exercises in FitnessAppABCTrainerize as well.

FitnessAppABCTrainerize is also set up to communicate with other health apps like myfitnesspal & Fitbit. I’ve see improvements with my health goals and that continues to encourage me to keep going!

I have used your app for quite a while. I just wanted to tone my muscles and keep fit. This works fine for me. I have managed with your help to keep most of the weight off and feel good.I am 76 years old and have sciatica, and planter fasciitis. The work outs help with both. The supplements are great too when I use them. I also have a small abdominal aneurysm so must limit the stress on the blood pressure, so I go with less weight as prescribed by my doc. I will continue this home workout procedure as long as I can.

This is by far my favorite training/workout tracking app. I love all the workout features and options, including the built-in stopwatch. Communication with my trainer is easy, and everything is right there in one app.

I also love that it integrates w the Apple Watch—sort of. The bug is FitnessAppABCTrainerize on the Apple Watch won’t stop. It doesn’t end when you complete a workout, and there is no “Finish” like there is with Strava. It drains the watch battery (but at least doesn’t seem to affect the data recorded on FitnessAppABCTrainerize ). Fix the Apple Watch bugs for 5 stars!

FitnessAppABCTrainerize doesn’t crash, but the user interface is poor. Instead of easy to understand Start/Pause/Stop buttons, it has buttons labeled Check In and Track. They both end the workout unexpectedly. For example, if you try to watch a trainer video when you’re on the Track screen, the workout ends. You never get a confirmation screen of whether you want a workout to end.

You can edit the labels on the workout items, but the edits don’t stay saved. And you can make the edits only when a workout is in progress, not in advance. Same goes for rearranging the order.

It seems the developers didn’t research standard software conventions or look at well-made apps before creating this one.

If your personal trainer use FitnessAppABCTrainerize, run the other way or tell him/her to switch to another app. So many options out there.

FitnessAppABCTrainerize has an unethical business model. Trainers are forced to pay to keep trainee accounts activate. Guess what happens when you stop paying? They DELETED my account!! I cannot even log back in to my account to see my historical data and previous workouts I already paid for. This is WRONG!

FitnessAppABCTrainerize is also very basic and buggy. Video and audio always have issues like lag, no sound, or wouldn’t load. You cannot play music during your workout, so silence and very robotic count down. I rather get a interval timer for my workout. My personal trainer and I had so many issues using FitnessAppABCTrainerize.

I have been using FitnessAppABCTrainerize With A personal trainer by the Name of Shelly Nichols. We are states away from each. I have seen such amazing results In less than 6 weeks I lost over 6 percent body fat, gained 5 lbs of muscle and lost two lbs . Talk about some great result. She is able to get in set up meal plans, work out ,plans ,video calls, and messages. It makes it seem like sheIs right there. There is no guessing with thing. I love it as well as the results I have gotten. Great app with a great trainer. Equally great results.

Even though I have an apple device, I still use google calendar. I wish I could sync my calendar with FitnessAppABCTrainerize but it only uses the apple app which I never use.
I also wish that the sync with the Apple Watch happened automatically when you opened FitnessAppABCTrainerize instead of some of the progress needing to be manually updated. Maybe something to talk to health about so it synced better.
I’m still a fairly new user and this seems like a nifty little app but it just needs a few tweaks to help make it more user friendly.

I love FitnessAppABCTrainerize! It is a game changer for keeping my trainer up to date on everything he needs. I love that I can pay through it. The workout videos are so helpful. It links to my withings scale and my fitness pal so everything ends up in one place! The data is invaluable and the graphs help me see my progress. Also being able to see the body composition side by side photos is GOLD! So happy my trainer went to this tool. It has changed so many things for me!

FitnessAppABCTrainerize is awesome, very helpful and super easy to use. I love the workouts and the tutorial videos, I love the ability to track my workouts, body stats, progress photos in FitnessAppABCTrainerize . It will never shut down on you and loose your reps and sets info, even if you close FitnessAppABCTrainerize in the middle of a workout or forget to save your data. Next time you open it, you will be exactly where you left at. It definitely helps to stay on track and to track your fitness progress. I love Ben’s app and highly recommend it)

This company/app/website are stellar! They are constantly listening, reviewing and updating the interfaces. I’ve never experience a company that was so in tune with their client base. It is incredibly robust and ever growing/adapting.
Don’t be fooled by its lack of “sex appeal.” It’s not trying to look super sleek and cool and it doesn’t need to be! The other guys have to cover for their lack of functionality with bells and whistles.

Don’t bother with the other fitness apps - this is FitnessAppABCTrainerize for coaches.

Use this through my trainer. It’s fairly simple to follow along and works well. There are a few sync issues with apple health but are usually corrected if you force stop FitnessAppABCTrainerize and relaunch, then sync. The biggest issue I have is that it absolutely mows through battery life. It is common to lose 40% battery on iPhone XS Max in just 30 minutes. Other fitness apps while also the playing music offer much less battery drain. If they can improve this, it would be a 5 star review

I think FitnessAppABCTrainerize is more helpful for trainers than trainees. I guess trainees aren’t your direct customer, but if it’s not easy to use for us eventually trainers will go elsewhere. While I’m glad there’s one place I can go for my meal plan, progress photos, workouts, and chat with my trainer I have two major complaints:

1. PLEASE add weight import/export from/to Apple Health. You support this for other metrics, why not weight?! I don’t want my health data trapped in your app forever. I want to use Apple Health and other apps to visualize my health data in ways you don’t support.

2. Visual refresh. The design is dated and cluttered.

The worst workout app I’ve ever used. I’ve hesitated writing a review for a year because I (wrongly) assumed it would be fixed considering so many coaches use it but it only get MORE AWFUL. Now, whenever FitnessAppABCTrainerize is open, it freezes my entire phone. I’ve resulted to writing down the workout from my coach (which is given to me through FitnessAppABCTrainerize ) in my notes and filling it in later when I have more time to wait 1 minute between entering numbers for my phone to unfreeze. It makes me want to pull my hair out and throw my phone against a wall. THE WORST. Every time I see an update I’m hopeful it will be fixed even just a LITTLE but it’s only deteriorating. Avoid FitnessAppABCTrainerize at all costs.

I want to preface this review with this: I love FitnessAppABCTrainerize!!!!!!

The massive problem though is I’ve had to re-download this 5 times now because often times when I open it, even if I just had it open, it will be just a blank white screen and load nothing. It has happened 5 times now and that is the only thing that makes this a 4/5 app, not 5/5. Just frustrating to be in the middle of a workout and you need to take 5 minutes to re-download:(

Not sure why FitnessAppABCTrainerize doesn’t allow my iPhone to auto-lock or sleep. FitnessAppABCTrainerize ’s screen remains on unless I switch screens. This drains my battery while unless I remember to manually to lock my phone. It’s like FitnessAppABCTrainerize overrides my phone’s setting to automatically sleep/lock after 1 minute of nonuse. Could you guys fix this please?

It’s also nearly impossible to view your personal records. Right now FitnessAppABCTrainerize shows you details for your personal records immediately after your workout, then stores your 3 most recent PRs on the dashboard. There should be a way to access ALL of your PRs, especially if FitnessAppABCTrainerize is tracking that data.

I love the IDEA of FitnessAppABCTrainerize and how it’s supposed to work. But at least once a week I have a hard time with MFP syncing properly. I will be editing my foods in MFP to fit my macros in trainerize and all of the sudden it will stop adjusting and just keep adding calories or won’t do anything at all. I wrote down all of my food and deleted everything to start over, and it deleted half of it and two days later it’s still stuck. I’ve deleted, uninstalled, rebooted etc. it’s frustrating 😭

I provide In-Home personal training sessions and track my clients progress through FitnessAppABCTrainerize . Lately this has been a big problem because FitnessAppABCTrainerize will freeze, close itself out, etc. I’ve lost my clients weight selections when trying to save their workout! This is something that is very frustrating and has me looking into our companies. For the amount of money I pay I shouldn’t have to worry about the product working correctly.

Love how easy it is to program once and use it for multiple clients, just tweaking for each person. Clients love how user friendly it is in the gym. The videos are great and the fact that I can use my own videos. Love FitnessAppABCTrainerize so much!!! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is because I’m just starting out in my business, so I’m not making much money yet and the 5 client option is crazy expensive. But worth it.

I’ve been using this for months now and enjoy how it tracks and gives me my PR’s.

The only thing I’d like to see and maybe it’s already there and done know, but a timer for my workout. Like when I hit start a timer starts and when I save the timer stops. This would be helpful in regulating closing my yap if I’m talking too much while working out. Thanks

I have been training my online clients on FitnessAppABCTrainerize for about 6 months now & I love it! My clients find it easy to use, user-friendly

I’ve made many tutorial vids & uploaded it to FitnessAppABCTrainerize & make my clients programs that way. I like the interval style when I make their workouts- my clients like the countdown feature; it pushes them harder since I’m not physically there with them

A picture is worth a thousand words so my current clients love to follow along with their phones as they do their at - home workouts. I am just experimenting with my long term clients right now but plan to roll out a subscription service eventually. I have never had problems loading it so maybe that was fixed in the last update.

Love FitnessAppABCTrainerize and all it’s tools that make being an online coach so easy! The whole site is built for ease of use and the latest upgrade has taken FitnessAppABCTrainerize to a whole other magical level! My clients love it and how self explanatory it is to use! Highly recommended for any coach who wants to offer online coaching programs and support to their coaching clients!!

Love FitnessAppABCTrainerize. Loved it before the update and love it now! But I would suggest that you either make the top display bar color darker, or make the words/font darker. The white font on the extremely light blue - almost off white color just doesn’t work, cuz I can’t read anything up there 🤷🏽‍♂️ Other than that, it’s great!

I have loved using this with my trainer. It's easy to see which exercise I'm supposed to be doing and how to do it. I find the addition of the videos especially helpful.

I DO WISH THERE WAS A BUILT IN CALCULATOR. I'm math dumb and it would be nice to have a calculator built in like the timer. I have difficulty adding my weights in my head as I add weight or start a new round of programming. So, I'd give it 5 stars if there was a calculator included!

FitnessAppABCTrainerize is okay, but the training plans need to move beyond the calendar style. Things happen in life and if you skip a few days it makes using FitnessAppABCTrainerize more a hassle. I want a view where I only see my next day of training when I choose to do it. Maybe have a target date in the background.. just a suggestion so FitnessAppABCTrainerize is easier to use for longer-term users
