If you follow Chelsey on social media, you know she’s a reasonable fitness influencer. I found her because I had been doing Ben Bruno’s programs and she was demoing the exercises for him. I actually find they structure their workouts similarly, but here’s why I prefer Chelsey’s workouts. First, she incorporates barbells. Ben Bruno’s programs are great if you workout from home and just have dumbbells. Chelsey has those workouts on her apps as well. Chelsey also gives fantastic instructions for the exercises. Most of them have at least a two minute breakdown of how to do them and she points out mistakes that people typically make when doing the exercise. The typical strength workout has 9 exercises, broken down in groups of three. I think she said Build is still technically in beta testing, so my feedback is for Build itself - it would be nice if the user had the option to swap out an exercise if they can’t do one of them or don’t like the exercise. Also, when recording the weights on Build , you can’t change the reps. Sometimes cal when I’m testing out the weights, I might fall short of the target rep or I might might end up doing a few more. It would be nice if it had a similar way to record it like the trainerize app where you could see the whole workout at once. When I’m at the gym, especially with the cable exercises, I can’t take up a cable machine and do two other exercises along with it (the gym bros would hate me) so I end up doing the cable exercises in isolation, but that might just be my preference.
TL;DR - get Build for the workouts. The subscription price is a steal for those alone. The interface of the app could be better for the user if allowed to input reps and weight along with being able to see the exercises when doing the workout in more of the trainerize format
