Full Fitness Workout Trainer Reviews

Been using this application for years as a no nonsense, check what I'm doing, type reference app.
I see there is an update available so I wait for it to finish downloading; to my horror, there is a random typo filled questionnaire when I reopen FullFitness , and after all of that nonsense I'm presented with a subscription options plan.
FullFitness itself has not been changed, there is no new workouts or information available within it. In fact, much of the information I had stored on FullFitness seems to now be deleted, and what I had paid to access before already is now locked behind an arbitrary pay wall.
To the developer, I loved your app before you chose to go down this route.
If you wanted to make an app where you charge people a subscription, you should have made a new app, this was most definitely the wrong choice.

I’ve use FullFitness for at least a decade, probably longer. I consider myself an advanced lifter and Full Fitness has always been a highly functional, small footprint app that gave me everything I need without the extra fat other fitness apps always contain. When I saw the new update, I was surprised because, aside from a few quirks, FullFitness was perfect for its function of storing user’s progress. After downloading the update though, I’m actually hurt but not surprised by the new direction. FullFitness has deleted all of my progress I’ve trusted it with over the last decade plus. And on top of that, even if you wanted to start over and rebuild your workout routines, 95-98% of the exercises are paywalled. This is just scummy and disrespectful to this apps many long time loyal users. I’ll use this word again, trust, I trusted Full Fitness with an important part of almost a third of my life and they destroyed that with no warning. Disgusting.

This was one of the best fitness apps of its era (many years ago), but has been completely abandoned… last updated in 2017. Dealbreakers: FullFitness ’s UX is designed to fit with an iPhone 8 or earlier screen (size and graphics quality), buggy / crashes frequently with iOS 15, limited fitness tracking categories compared to current fitness apps, no integrations… doesn’t connect to Apple health or any other fitness app, no Apple Watch support,

To the developer: Mehrdad- you wrote in FullFitness ’s description, “We do not believe in in-app purchases. Further, we are dedicated to providing regular free updates. The next update is under development.” It’s unfortunate that FullFitness’s continued development has been shelved. Your existing customers deserve an update, but more so you are hurting your rep and leaving $$$ on the table by neglecting existing customers and selling an antiquated buggy app to new customers. Not a good look, my friend. If updated, I’ll adjust my review accordingly. Best of luck!

The update deleted all my data, my history, my workouts. And on top of that, they want me to pay for subscriptions now when I Have Already Bought FullFitness. I bought FullFitness when there was no such thing as subscription or in-app purchases, and I had access to all exercises, able to create custom exercises and other features. Why do I have to pay to unlock the exercises I had access before when I Bought FullFitness? Can’t even create custom exercises neither? Why wasn’t a warning about this so I wouldn’t have to update? THIS WAS A DOWNGRADE (that never existed). I should have access to the exercises I had before, should be able to add custom exercises and more (for everything I lost …)

Myself, along with the dozens of other reviewers , were shocked to find that after we hit the update icon, all of our data that we have had for 8 years was completely wiped out. There was no warning by the new developer that our data was going to be removed. There was no warning in FullFitness or on FullFitness Store that now there's an app purchase subscription requirement as well before our data was removed . This clearly was not a "bug" .

I purchased FullFitness eight years ago and have been a loyal user since that time. I Understand that there may be a new business model, but at least show the gratitude for your loyal supporters who have gave you excellent reviews many years ago. It was our reviews that made it a better proposition for your purchase of FullFitness from the original developer . The fact that you disregarded your loyal branding shows the pure greed of Fuminaire holdings.

I'm quite sure that deleting the user's data including custom workout and YEARS of logs would not be looked upon favorably by Apple under review.

I hope Apple removes this developer completely from FullFitness Store due to blatant disregard of the user's data rights.

If the TERMS OF SERVICE changed when the new owner /"developer" took over , they had the lack of any moral compass by avoiding disclosing any change in the TOS to any of its customers ----including DELETING all customer data with warning or the ability to recover or backup.

Used FullFitness for 6+ years, even when it seemed to be barely maintained and running poorly on newer phones. Used it to track my progress through hundreds of workouts, and I enjoyed using it. I paid $4.99 for it back in the day too.

With the most recent update, they’ve moved to a subscription model. All my custom workouts built over 6+ years are gone. Not only are they gone, half the exercises are locked behind a subscription paywall. Why can’t I keep using FullFitness the way I have? I can understand a hiccup in an update that might wipe out my saved stuff. This is just pure greed. Leave it to some company to buy up an app that they didn’t make, only to put it behind a paywall. I’m sick of everything being a subscription I don’t want to pay another monthly fee so I end up paying for something a hundreds of times over what it’s actually worth.

I’ve been using FullFitness since the middle of college, so just about 8 years. It’s been my favorite, and I loved that all it took was a one time payment to buy FullFitness and the entire arsenal of exercises was at my fingertips.

I don’t how many people you’ve betrayed with this recent update that locks out a majority of exercises until the purchase of a subscription, but I can’t believe for a second that I’m the only one. I just lost all the history of workouts that was stored in FullFitness with this update, so I can’t even go back and see my progress.

Honestly, you should have learned from the mistake that MyFitnessPal made when they started demanding payed subscriptions for something as simple as scanning barcodes. Stop gate keeping fitness, FullFitness was perfect before. It was my favorite. I recommended it to everybody I knew who started lifting. I can’t do that anymore.

Edit, June 1, 2017:
It's been some time since the last update. So none of the bugs below have been addressed in the last six months or so. Since have also noticed creating a profile also crashes FullFitness , so people who don't have a profile already (i.e., new users) will lose all their workouts if they reset their phone or have to re-download FullFitness . Still great potential, but the support—particularly for long-term know issues—isn't worthy of people's money.

Previous Review:
Basic functionality restored by 3.1. Still not as stable or useful as 2.2 was from 2013–16, but main things work now. And, some improvements (e.g., notes handling, sorting w/i muscle group by equipment type and collapsing history menu format) will make it better than Version 2.2 if they work out the bugs. Can't wait for 3.2.

Having used FullFitness for five years, I have enjoyed being able to go back and track my progress throughout the years. As this is a small side project of two developers, the lack of updates have finally made me move on to a different app. The application does not support the iPhone X full screen but more importantly many features now freeze FullFitness entirely. For example the calendar view will freeze FullFitness as will checking other log in/previous session workouts. The spell check no longer works like in the previous version and interment issues such as lag, freezing, crashes have made me move on to other apps. I hope FullFitness is updated in the future. I do miss being able to go back and track my progress through the years but this current product is outdated and unreliable. If it is fixed, I will come back to it.

I purchased FullFitness on June 6th and have enjoyed using it. I wrote to support later that same day as I was trying to create some workouts, explained what I was trying to accomplish, and asked if it was possible — or would be in a future update.

In the contact information section of FullFitness with regard to support it says they read “every email.” So, I wrote to them again — after not hearing back — almost exactly two months later with a different issue. In that message I even included a screen recording to help further explain the issue I was having. I also re-sent my first message … both messages were sent on August 7th.

To this day I have still not heard back from them, not a peep. I don't even know if my emails were received. Maybe they’re going out of business and have stopped supporting FullFitness . I don’t know because there has been no response whatsoever. I was waiting to hear back before writing a review, but oh well …

I guess I’ll have to start searching for another app, and hopefully they will have better support.

Have used this for years. Loved everything about it. But now it works so so so slow, it's kind of a pain. I read about how the development team is only a couple of people--who have had some health issues and who now made a "long awaited update." (Not sure why people thought it needed changing.)

I saw in the reviews that people were unhappy, but then it sounded like they fixed some stuff?? Not sure what, because I still have lots of problems with it. As someone else mentioned, the history doesn't work at all for me. (can't even look at the cool graph anymore.). And whenever I go to change exercises there is a very long wait. And even when I go to record reps it takes like 20-30 seconds after I hit the submit button. What am I doing wrong? And if it's not me, then please just either fix it or offer the old version again. Please!! I really really don't want to change apps.

I've been using FullFitness for at least 6 years since I got my first smartphone. However, it hasn't been updated in some time. I'd like to see an update to support the larger screen on the iPhone 6 and up as well as some new exercises. I love the timers and tracking features as they're very helpful in my workouts.

New version 3.1 still has some issues to workout. Every time I go to view my history, add an exercise that isn’t in my pre made logs or do an in app backup, FullFitness crashes. The newest version has also removed the swipe feature in those saved workouts. I used to be able to swipe right to the next exercise and keep my pace but now I have to go back three screens, select the next exercise on my list and go forward three screens to log. I have emailed the developers multiple times but to no avail. I can’t even do a backup to be able to try deleting and reinstalling. This is very frustrating.

I like FullFitness a lot, but I have a few major gripes with it. Firstly, during a workout, it constantly gets confused which exercise I'm doing. Looking at the history, it always shows the history for the next exercise in the workout. Swiping back & forth & it will show the correct history. Same with viewing exercise statistics. Also, statistics starts off sorting exercise dates by the day of the month ONLY, so the trend line is way way out of wack. Changing the visible data points will sometimes get it to sort by month then day, but not always. The navigation is also pretty cumbersome. If you have to do an alternate exercise for whatever reason, theres no quick & easy way to do it - you have to navigate away from your workout & find the thing you want, then go back & resume your exercise.

It has also been over a year since the developer has published an update. Might want to explore other options before spending money on an abandoned project.

Have used FullFitness for years in its previous incarnations (MyFitness Pro, etc). For a while, they kept what was good and streamlined it. Still a good all-around instructional and organizational app, whether you like to make up your own routines or choose from a number of others they have laid out.

However, the most recent version is a disappointment. It freezes up frequently. As others have noted, the History section is either very slow or doesn't work at all. You used to be able to turn your phone sideways and get a nice calendar overview of your workouts, but that has completely disappeared. When the history does work, it orders the workouts by the number of the day of the month and not by the date. Very annoying.

I'll be looking around for something better. Too bad.

I like the new interface a lot. Things are cleaner and FullFitness no longer crashes. That being said, the new version came with a a few huge problems. I use the "History" tab quite a bit to look at past workouts/progress. With the update, it is EXTREMELY slow loading, to the point that FullFitness is almost unusable. Also, I wish they'd bring back the ability to simply tap enter when tracking sets of same reps/weight. You now have to enter it every time. I've also experienced workouts showing up as doubled, or being swapped to an incorrect date. Finally, again in the "History" tab, when you used to click 7 days, 14 days, etc, it would show which days over the past 7, 14, etc you worked out. Now, it simply shows your past 7 or 14 workouts. If these problems are fixed, FullFitness is the best on FullFitness Store for fitness tracking.

I just got FullFitness and setting up my personal workouts. I love the design in many ways. Very clean and simple interface. It really is one of the better ones that I have seen out there. The price and value of it are unbeatable. But if you want to setup super set or giant set or have 3 sets together with a drop then it will be really clunking and quite a bit of extra work! If the was designed to handle this better then I would have given it 5 stars but with this significant hole I can only give it 3 stars. It still is a great app and definitely a great addition. If they fix the setup for the 3 sets with a drop set, super sets, or giant sets then it’ll be top notch.

This is a very good app, especially considering that other similar ones are charging ridiculous prices for their full versions.
Having said that, there are a few minor things that bug me, that I wish could have been fixed:
I don't like that I have to erase the previous weight used, whereas before just clicking in the field would erase it; there's no dedicated field to super or staggered sets; and when I add custom exercise, let’s say for biceps, when I go to exercises by muscle section and click on biceps, that custom exercise doesn’t show up. It only shows up under a broader category of arms.
But these are little quibbles and otherwise FullFitness is excellent.

So I just started using FullFitness today and so far I like what I see. I recently gained some weight and i was eager to get back to my old weight. However, being a banker I’m seated large periods of time so finding good ways to work out was important to me.
For the price it’s a great all In one app. There are many workout plans and videos to demonstrate them. One reason I docked one star was because of the calorie counter section. When adding food I noticed it’s very particular on spelling. If misspelled there are no possible matches.
If you’re a 5’11”, 230lbs, 26 year old banker like me give FullFitness a try.

Ive been on the hunt for a workout tracking app for years, and this is by far my favorite. I use it every single time i go to the gym, or even workout at home and FullFitness makes it super fun to look through my history and share lifting buddies. You can tell that whoever developed FullFitness actually workout themselves because they built every single feature i ever need and make it super easy to use/understand. After two and a half years of consistently lifting i started seeing plateaus in hypertrophy and size, but it wasnt until i realized that this was due to inconsistent progressive overload that i began using full fitness and things turned around. I’ve tried using google spreadsheets and writing my workout logs on paper but nothing compares to the ease of logging my workouts in FullFitness. Im super impressed with full fitness and cannot recommend it enough

I actually started out on the free version for my first 6 months, but have since upgraded and the personalized plan has become my all-time favorite workout. I do it every week now!! I would recommend at least trying the personalized plan but overall you dont need it to use FullFitness productively and they have everything you need for free🙏

I among most, if not all, of the loyal Full Fitness app users were undoubtedly frustrated and turned off by the long awaited rollout of the apps version 3.0 that came out in November 2016. FullFitness got a nice facelift but the usability of it took a nose dive and it was very hard to navigate workout history, review most recent information and even having to enter all the info for a set for each and every set was frustrating. Well it looks like the developers received plenty of feedback from it (I myself wrote a somewhat lengthy review of it) and version 3.1 is in! I took it for a quick test drive this morning before work and everything I asked for to be corrected has been. The workout history is in chronological order, the most recent lifts are on the log entry page and your weight and rep input stays in for easy re-entry. I can't wait to get back in that gym for a full workout and have my trusted, beloved and easy to use app back. Thank you to the developers for quickly correcting these major issue for the users.

before I have a problems with the coach Always he careless about me and now with this application I have motivation more than ever I feel this application will make me successfully to pass all my Practice in the gym from now I have really fun with this application in the gym because I heard that you need to change your practice at that time I don’t have any idea about changing my practice Which make me feel boring when I’m doing practice in the gym with this application I can say Goodbye for the coach I can do the gym with myself

This is a great app and is a terrific resource and repository for workouts. What I love is that FullFitness breaks down the exercises by body and muscle group which is perfect for getting quick on hand exercises when needed.

However, that app could use an update. FullFitness needs to be updated to the dimensions of the new iPhone screen size and could use a cosmetic boost compatible with iOS 15. Yet, FullFitness still runs on the latest iOS update but FullFitness screen size however is reduced.

Still one of the best apps out there for on hand list of exercises.

Revising my review from prior. I’m a long time user of FullFitness and hit a severe speed bump last time the developers did a significant upgrade of FullFitness. In that it ran dog slow on my iPhone 7. I recently upgraded to iPhone X and was for whatever reason unable to do a restore of all my data from 7 to X. So ended up setting up everything from scratch. Surprised to find that FullFitness now runs 100x faster! I presume something in my upgrade from iPhone 5->6->7 plus version rev of FullFitness caused things to run slow and what was required was a fresh start. Happy therefore to revise the rating from 3 -> 5.

This has been a work(out)horse of an app! Still going for many years now despite hiccups along the way caused primarily by Apple updates. Thanks to the developer(s?) for keeping it going! The best comprehensive workout app I’ve found and not bothered by the constant and often mandatory connect-to-everyone-else-on-the-planet mania found in other apps.

September 2020 update. FullFitness has been a solid COVID companion at home and still keeping me sane. 6 stars! It seems to be getting buggy again but in some of the extraneous functions like sharing workouts with others, but the core stuff is still solid. Please, please keep FullFitness alive.

This is a straightforward, no frills app. Other popular apps I looked at all want to charge you a recurring yearly fee fo their premium features. I don’t need a million diet plans. This is a one time fee that allows you to make as many workout plans as you wish. Occasionally I find an exercise that isn’t in their database, but I always find something similar and I just remember to substitute it. The only change i would recommend is to label the workout history. You can see what exercises you have previously done, but I have five i cycle between and if I have taken a couple of rest days I sometimes forget where I left off. It doesn’t say “workout A” or whatever I have named it. You just have to look and figure out what you were doing. Overall I hope they keep doing updates and keep FullFitness active.

How incredibly sad that the newer, better version of FullFitness only appears to be newer!! I have tried over & over to create custom workouts and it’s simply impossible to do based on my memory of the 1 time only set-up instruction. Oddly enough I can find nowhere within FullFitness where the instruction is repeated for future use. I understand that a party of two is solely responsible for FullFitness (which I loved the original version, so easy to use) but this is seriously cutting into my workouts and I can get absolutely no reply on how to set up. Additionally because the cut off for the compatibility of the old version with the latest iPhone update had no warning I lost the usability of all 20 of my custom workouts from the old app.

I was introduced to FullFitness by my brother in law. Since it worked for him I decided to download FullFitness . As I perused the different functions, I became fascinated by the breadth of information available: pertaining to fitness. There are not only pictures demonstrating how to do the exercises, but there are videos that break it down for you. No more injuries for me! I can do the exercises with correct form: thanks to FullFitness. In addition , I can schedule my work outs to cover all major muscle groups. PLUS cardio. Hands down: FullFitness may very well help me to reduce my weight to 140 lbs. I’m very motivated and excited for the future as I apply all my resources to my fitness goals.
