Contact Sworkit Fitness Workout App Support

I have been using this app for years. I have always loved the variety of exercises and how easy it is to navigate and track workouts. However, I have recently become paralyzed and realized that there really aren’t workouts that are geared towards people who are paralyzed. If you go into the exercise library and look at individual exercises there are many that are already wheelchair/paralyzed friendly. I am paralyzed below the hips so using the app is a little difficult when I have to pick out each exercise from several hundred options. However, there are no pre-made workouts that are made fully accessible so you have to go through several hundred exercises to find the accessible ones. I would really love if Sworkit created workouts within the app that have pre-made workouts in different areas (stretching, cardio, strength, etc.) where every exercise in the workout is either already accessible for someone who is paralyzed or can be easily adapted for someone who is paralyzed.

My feelings about this app are mixed. The workouts are pretty solid, and the American College of Sports Medicine has rated it closest to its particular standards. Their on-call trainers hold verified certifications through ACSM for the most part (I think there may be a couple of NASM people there too), so it does have that going for it. But the official Facebook group is a problem. From my experience the challenges and contests there require you to register ahead of time with no hint of what you’re getting into. I remember wanting to do the 2020 Fit Future challenge but having weight problems at the time, so I wanted to talk to my assigned trainer about whether it was even appropriate for me to consider it. Suffice it to say that the details were not released until the day before the challenge was to start, giving me no time to formulate and ask my questions…and the live Q&A wasn’t scheduled until after the challenge started. I felt abandoned, had a breakdown, was forced to ask to space so I could be left alone, and when my assigned trainer was switched without valid explanation or notice six weeks later I decided enough was enough and left for good. It’s a decent platform but their commitment to seeing you succeed can thus best be defined as questionable, and the moment that became clear I couldn’t go on.

Hello! Absolutely love the apps y'all put out but if there's one thing I could change it would be to be able to customize your workout a little more. I think there should be a screen that lists all the different exercises in the program and you should be able to toggle certain ones on/off. For example I feel awkward at the gym doing genie sits for abs and would rather be able to turn that off and have more options to turn on. Right now I just substitute it for say, penguin crunches or mountain climbers. If there's no way for you to add an exercise option on your end then I think in the toggle screen you should be able to add the name of an exercise you like so it comes up in rotation. Hopefully you consider this!! I rave about these apps to all of my friends but that's one thing I would definitely change.
