Camp Gladiator Reviews

by BobRobApex

Update: I guess it's time to abandon CampGladiator for most functions like check-ins and leaderboard. Finally got TouchID to work for a couple days but now it's gone again and took away actually COUNTING my check-in with it. Leaderboard is blank again. Hope I can trust it to remember my CG Fit results and that it eventually counts my 12th check-in this camp to complete CG Fit.

Simplest way to check in to camp is still broken after several months, even after reporting the issue to CG. Am I the only one that uses this feature? Now I have to cancel out of the Touch ID prompt then tap in the PIN field then the phone number field to log in AND it's logging me out more frequently. Maybe they are trying to steer campers to logging in from the trainer's iPad instead by making it harder to use CampGladiator ?

CampGladiator does a good job at helping you find camps near you, however it does a terrible job of providing the details for the camps in a readable, usable fashion.
If the camp occurs on 3 or more days then the space allotted to show the camp days and times is truncated and you can't see the actual time the camp starts. E.g. the camp may be at 9:15, 9:30, 9:45, or 9:00 but you'll have no way of knowing because all you can see on CampGladiator is "9:" because the rest of the time is cut off.
Additionally, the camp rating system is garbage. 1) it's not anonymous which results in heavily positive skewed reviews and 2) you can't leave a review without explaining why- CampGladiator won't accept your star rating unless you add text or select from the preset options for what was good or bad with the trainer/workout.

Please please please fix this once and for all. It’s super important that we as campers are able to provide timely feedback to our trainers on the camp experience. This helps to keep enhancing our camp experiences over time. Yet CampGladiator continues to have problems with this one particular aspect and it’s just so disappointing and it’s getting rather old. What’s the point of downloading an update to CampGladiator if it is just going to take away the option for campers to rate their camps and trainers? Highly disappointed that this continues to be an issue and meanwhile Campers are still unable to leave any feedback for their trainers.

The old app made checking in easy and right on the front page. It’s a lot harder to try and search for and check in now. Your check-in history is no longer available on CampGladiator you must do it from the desktop. I set check in goals by the month so not being able to easily count up where I’m at is a big let down. Lastly the old app allowed you to set up your workouts as a calendar meeting. This is a huge part of my consistency and making my workouts a priority especially with an ever changing work schedule. Hopefully they will come back with the old features that made the old CG app 5 Stars.

Trying to go to a new location is painful. CampGladiator provides no way to contact trainer in advance for info, which many are more than happy to provide. But also if they change location you are on your own to run around to all the alternates to see if they “might” be at one of them. Two thumbs down. They need to give trainer some way to update location with where a specific work was changed to a different location. Would be nice if that updated on map and allowed app checkin as well at alternate location. I just spent 45min running around looking for this workout. Would have been better off just going for a run. Boo

When I get a pop up of a notification, it never shows up in the actual app. Why? The notifications area is useless if I can’t see notifications (I use an iPhone). I was told I can receive notifications/messages from my trainers, but apparently I’m not actually receiving those.

The filter section is also pointless if it doesn’t narrow down classes. The algorithm needs to be an “AND”, not “OR” equation. For example, if I want to be able to search for classes on Mondays between 4a-8a, I don’t want the filter to return locations that have classes on Monday at 5:45PM, just because there is also a 5:30AM class on a Tuesday at that location.

The main reason I use CampGladiator, apart from checking in, is to find locations. However, the filter seems to use an OR Boolean, when it should use AND. I want to see all the camps available on a certain day AND time, not day OR time. How it is now, I have to go through each one individually.

Also, my faves aren’t marked on the map. They should appear as a heart.

Finally, check ins aren’t reliable. I know they rolled out a new system recently, but I’ve had 2 issues. First, with the old system, if I checked in and then tried it again at Camp (want to be sure I check in, since there’s no notification to insure I checked in from my car), it would say I’m already checked in. With the new system, it double counted me. Second, the graph at the bottom doesn’t seem to be accurate. It’ll tel me I have no check-ins when my history says I do, and vice versa.

Unrelated and didn’t affect my rating. Really wish CG would offer camps on Fridays. Not everyone cares about going out on Friday nights. I know a lot of the trainers are young, but maybe get some of the older ones to do it. A lot of people I’ve met in CG, like me, run T/R/Sat, so the Sat Camp isn’t the best if you want to get enough rest/recovery time.

I’ve used CampGladiator since Nov 2017, my issues seem to be the same every time. They all are consistent with getting logged in. I get logged out while already in CampGladiator , I can’t log in due to some issue, or I’m not a recognized user, and I always have to delete and download CampGladiator again. Recently I’ve had issues where when I go to download CampGladiator again it won’t even download.
On a personal note, since the last update, I guess the CG Store got removed from CampGladiator . I kind of liked being able to shop while in CampGladiator . But not a problem to open my Chrome and login from there to shop.

Being part of camp is great, but CampGladiator is just a mess. Finding the schedule is not effortless and too much work. Feels like you get enough of a workout just navigating through this crappy app. Doesn’t always update the account on time, points are always pending status but show available. Missing explanations for certain ribbons and member status. Instead of trying to be fancy, the developers should really work harder to understand their target audience. Also, even when you find the schedule, the actual camps are different, especially during bold week.

First I love CG and the workouts. I love how seamlessly you pivoted to have virtual workouts. That being said.. in the last few months I got an Apple Watch and more notifications pop up. PLEASE fix CampGladiator to ask us how our camp was at 60min from check in, not at 30 minutes. I will be in mid workout and my watch will buzz and it’s CampGladiator asking me to rate the workout. All of our workouts are an hour, there’s no reason to ask after 30 minutes.
Minor nitpicking, more for esthetics - under points why are the positive points added red and the subtraction of points redeemed black. It should be the other way around.
Also wish there was a way to get to your billing page without closing CampGladiator and logging in on the internet. Sometimes I choose to use points towards memberships and sometimes I want to save them for other things. It would be nice to have that option on CampGladiator or at least a link that will take you there directly on the site.

Is there a way to add an Apple Watch extension? Like maybe we can check in from our watch ? This especially helps when I’m having to carry everything to my spot at early morning camps since I don’t like to take my phone or check in on the iPad all the time.
Next can we add a filter by trainer? I’m all about trying different trainers but sometimes I wanna just see where my faves are.
Last, I would love if we can look just by the lunch hour time frame like 11 am -1pm workouts . I would like to do some two a days but i can only do that in early morning and lunch and it takes forever to with the filter to find it during just those times.

I love CG and I love the community! I’m having a little problem/confusion with my app and didn’t know where else to go but here to get help! My app says I have done 13/50 workouts but I know I have done over 20! The switch happened when I decided to commit to go bold! When I go to check in history all my checkins are there but about 10 of my check ins say “points pending”. Would love some insight on this! Just want to make sure I’m getting points for those :) Thanks y’all! #CGstrong - Chloe B.

cG has been killing it when keeping their app updated and making changes through the pandemic. They have added features to help everyone check in. You can check in 30 min before camp so I’m confused about some of the complaints. They have been vocal and have made changes in a timely manner. Thanks for the communication and dedication to your campers!

Camp Gladiator has change my life and my families life for the better! Not only am I physically in the best shape of my life (even after being a competitive Division I Athlete), I feel more connected to my community, my family, and feeling more positive than ever! Each workout is led by a certified personal trainer who is passionate each and every one of the campers! The community that CG builds is unbeatable! Highly recommend this program for any age and any level of fitness!

I hate seeing the bad reviews associated with people trying to quit. Sorry, you signed a contract. CG was very careful with me to ensure I understood my financial commitment. I also had a situation where I quit my month to month contract last year. Corporate called me back (a couple of times because I don’t answer numbers I don’t recognize) were friendly and helpful in my cancellation.

I came back in January and really enjoy the classes, the comradery and the instructors. Any workout program will be the same / you will get out of it what you put into it.

CampGladiator works great, the program is great. Don’t let a few bad reviews sway you away.

There many trainer across the city that do great things in Murphy Sachse Wylie but today I want to say that Marlo Paris is awesome. She devotes hours of her time out of a busy week and us camper notice. From community week game nights to Sunday fun runs is a great trainer and person all in one. She bring energy and humor to camps that make peak week seem not so scary some of us. She is definitely one reason I love camp gladiator and continue to go to camp.
Thank you

Camp Gladiator’s App saves me every time I travel to another city or am looking for a location that is not my usual one I attend. I mean there are over 6,000 locations so being able to filter those makes my life so much easier, am I right!?? It also lets me know who the Trainer at that specific location is so I know who to expect when I show up. Overall, I recommend CampGladiator and definitely sign up Bold 😉

CG trainers are 5 star and the transition to zoom is good the problem is with CampGladiator check in . It . Doesn’t count them correctly. To get a workout to count you have to delete it and reinstall it and then you get a check in but then you loose your points I had my contact person try to add missing check ins and it doesn’t work very disappointed with CampGladiator since points and check ins are suppose to be a big deal.

My wife and I joined Camp Gladiator almost a year ago, and we have finally found a work out program that works! We were both pretty active before but were not consistent with regular fitness. Camp Gladiator has kept us accountable and given us the opportunity to connect with our neighbors! The trainers have so much energy and genuinely care about your progress. I am challenged every time I go to a cg workout, and I always leave more energized (sweaty), and ready for the day!

Camp Gladiator is definitely my go to for workouts, mental and physical therapy, and a social life! The same people “just like me” show up to challenge themselves and each other to be better everyday. I HATED the gym. Felt like I was in a fishbowl and stared at making me uncomfortable. Camp Gladiator allows you to set up where YOU want to be and work at your own pace. The trainers encourage you to meet the people around you without it being awkward. I’ve made some great friends who hold me accountable over the past 2 years. I’ve gone from gym failure to CG STRONG! It’s definitely #bettertogether.

I hate seeing bad reviews especially about the company because this should be about CampGladiator . CampGladiator is awesome and so are the workouts- I can track my check ins and all of my friend referrals. About a month ago when I was in Florida for work, I just pulled up the locations and was able to head to a new location and follow my maps. They were actually at an alternate location and that was listed in CampGladiator as well so i was able to find everything! It has the trainer of the location listed and their photo and their trainer rating also.

I had a friend that had to cancel because she moved to Oklahoma and they were able to cancel her account same day. Never had a problem at all!

Camp Gladiator is an amazing way to have a full body workout with a certified personal trainer that hold you accountable and motivates you while your working out and when you are not.
There’s more to working out. CG offers CG fit, CG games, and brings a culture together by having socials.
Camp Gladiator has a 4 week cycle starting with Endurance, strength, agility, interval and peak. Memberships are as low as $59/month. Can’t beat that price for unlimited times and locations to chose from.
