Contact BodBot AI Personal Trainer Support

Aside from the nutrition portion of the app that I could not figure out how to use, this app is put together in a somewhat easy to use fashion. That being said, in regards to the claim of being a pocket personal trainer, it is lacking. The idea of having people take a fitness test and then the app adapting the workouts according to the answers is a great idea. After playing around with app for a couple weeks, it seemed to always randomly pick exercise with no regard to either the seeds of the fitness test answers or the clever biometric tracking—which would be great for avoiding overtraining muscle groups. The app had me doing the same workouts on consecutive days at times for no reason at all. Ultimately, none of those unique features appeared to work correctly. After the app made me take my fitness tests and It said I failed on everything, it generated the same workout for me when I reported that I passed the fitness teats. I ended up doing my own research and changing workouts myself, rather than being able to trust any sort of comprehensive progression path that the app laid out due to the app’s randomness. There are complete free apps that do the same thing as this app in the areas that seem to actually be useful. So even though I wanted to love this app and trust it would be worth paying for, sadly it isnt.

I really like the idea of the app - using AÍ to develop a personalized training program designed to correct imbalances in your body. And the app appears to do a good job of finding those imbalances. Almost immediately, the algorithm detected I have weak shoulders and rotator cuff and correctly focused on those areas. However, the app seems to overly focus on those specific muscle groups. I get rotator cuff exercises almost every workout (which actually led to a small overuse injury), while chest, abs, and triceps are almost completely ignored. The app had me go almost two weeks without doing a single chest exercise. I’m worried that in the long term, this could actually cause muscle imbalances/injuries rather than reducing them. Now, I get that it wants me to focus on certain muscle groups - but that shouldn’t be at the exclusion of others. Even when I set the app to focus on chest and shoulders a certain day, it still only recommended one chest exercise. It doesn’t seem clear to me how the fitness tests translate into the recommended workouts. The app could do with better explainability - there should be more details on why it chose the exercises it did. And it should attempt to give more well-rounded workouts. If those issues were fixed, I think it would be pretty great. The interface is also extremely clunky, but that’s not a huge concern for me.

First off I love this app. Getting back in the gym was daunting for me. I’ve always hated it because I didn’t know what to do once I got there and can’t afford a personal trainer. This app originally fit that need. However it’s been almost a month now and I’ve only worked on upper body exercises. I’ve completed the fit tests that have come up but I’ve done ZERO leg exercises. I changed my tailoring to primarily core and lower body focus but it still only workout arms, chest and back. Based on my activity level it adds 30 mins of walking at the end of my workouts but still there’s no exercises focused on lower body movements. Oh! And the nutrition portion of the app is horrible. Scratch it and start over. It’s super confusing and doesn’t make sense to me at all. I’ve paid for the annual subscription but I’m really starting to regret it.
