please let me know how to fix

@@goldfish10201 Not sure as I have not used this app in a few years. I would try searching the forums, or try google to find an answer on how to log, and move onto the next set rather than next exercise.

Thank you for sharing. This app does do a great job of keeping things fresh and in motivating the lifter.

So true! Thank you for sharing your experience! I can completely relate, and I too had shot up to 240 lbs in a short period of time after I had quit smoking years ago. Took a while but managed to get back down to 180 lbs while building some solid strength in the process! Many of these types of apps are overlooked or under-appreciated over the journey, and many fail because they have no way of tracking their progress not to mention many do not know where to even start. Spending a few bucks month on an app like Fitbod goes a long way, and is definitely worth the investment.

Absolutely SJ! That would for sure be a great use of this app! Thank you for your comment and sharing you thoughts! 👊👊

Glad I could help! 🙂

Glad I could help!!

Thank you Dramatello! I agree Fitbod looks great visually, and is simple to use. Some interesting quirks you mentioned regarding the reps and supersets. I have noticed something similar with Alpha Progression on the reps, where the app will suggest you drop the weight and do some high rep counts. Not my favourite that is for sure. I have been bouncing between Alpha Progression and Gymaholic personally. I find Alpha Progression quite similar to Fitbod, however one thing I prefer about AP is that it generates a consistent workout plan from the start, with a duration based in weeks rather than Fitbod approach of generating a new workout every day or session. I have a trial code / 20% off affiliate link in my Alpha Progression video review if you are interested in having a look for free. Also you are able to create your own custom exercises while Fitbod does not. With that said, Fitbod is still an awesome app, and I may just revisit it myself one day to see how it's improving, and if it has the potential to become my daily driver in the gym.

@@AJFaithFitness thanks for the reply. was excited to look for the app you mentioned only to realize it doesn't have an Apple Watch app. to me that's an instant no no as I HATE having my iphone on me while working out. I need to clear my mind in the gym, and using my watch alone is super convenient. It's also what I love in Gymaholic as they have the most perfect intuitive apple watch UI you can get. you can literally add exercises mid-workout and all from the watch. anyways, thank you for the recommendation!

I hear you about the Apple Watch. That is huge for me as well, and I also agree with you on the apple watch version of Gymaholic. It is the most complete app I have found, and fits in well with Apple products. I like how it mirrors the built in workout app, where you can swipe left for your music, or right for your app options. I think the watch version is on Alpha Progressions radar, but I have no idea when. I will be keeping my eyes open for it though!

You're welcome! Glad you found the video awesome!

Thanks for the feedback, and glad you enjoyed the video Justin!

This took about 5 months of consistent work outs before it finally got it right for me

This is good to know thank you!

@@monkman500 Good to know, and thanks for sharing!

Thank you Laney! Same to you!

Welcome aboard and thanks for stopping by!!

Nothing slow about Laney! Overflowing awesomeness…. Now that I believe 😉🙃👊🏻👊🏻

@@AJFaithFitness 😂

Thank you Henna! Glad you liked them! Stay safe and awesome my friend!!

Hey Rainer. They are both rather cool apps, and it all depends what you are looking for from your app. If you want to leave the app generate a new workout every day, then Fitbod. If you would rather have the Ai generate the entire workout plan including how many weeks you wish to run that plan, then Alpha Progression. If you need to add a custom exercise not in the database, then Alpha Progression seeing Fitbod does not allow you to do this. I find Alpha Progression simpler than Fitbod as well, while Fitbod has been around much longer. It's a tough call. I would recommend signing up for a trial on both, Alpha Progression is 14 days I think, and Fitbod you can sign up for a month by contacting their customer service. Try them both and pick the one you prefer. I prefer Alpha Progression personally seeing it is cheaper, and simpler, and consistent across all platforms. Now if you like running workouts on the Apple Watch, then Fitbod all the way seeing there is no such option for Alpha Progression at the moment. If you do end up signing up for Alpha Progression and want an extra 20% off your first year, feel free to use my affiliate link below. The channel does receive a small commission if you sign up, but with that said it's up to you, and I tried to provide you with my unbiased opinion. I hope that helps Rainer! Let me know if you have any further questions. 👊🏻👊🏻 alphaprogression.com/ajfitness

Both apps can assist you in building muscle, however the program, dedication and nutrition will be what determines the end result. AP also has bodyweight exercises within the app, and you can filter them in or out of your exercise selection. One advantage that AP has over FB is that you can create your own exercises in AP, while in FB what is in the app is all you get,

I get that. If one does not need the Ai component, then the value of this subscription starts to decline. I also prefer more consistency in my exercise selection rather than a new random selection for every workout. Thanks for sharing!

I have not used this app in a few years, so not sure how to fix this or what the issue is exactly. May want to search their support forums?

I agree with you Marco, an app that does not allow the user to add their own exercises makes it very limiting. For someone starting from scratch, and conforms their training to fit within the app is one thing. However a seasoned lifter that has been doing it for years, has his exercise selection down, and is unable to manipulate the app to fit their needs is a big issue. At this point in the game that type of lifter is not going to conform to an app just for the sake of using it, they will simply move onto an app that will fit their use case as one would do with any other tool. A hammer is great when performing some tasks, but its not the right tool to cut a sheet of plywood in half. Have you used any other workout trackers in the past that fit your use case better than Fitbod? Sounds like you are into strongman type of workouts, is that accurate or did I misread that? Take care and thanks for sharing your thoughts! 👊🏻👊🏻

@@AJFaithFitness Thank you for your response. I do like to lift 3x a week but also like to do crossfit, amrap, hitt and fuctional trainning workouts at least 2x a week.. I like to workout with kettlebells, sandbags, do sprints on rogue ayrdine bike, flip tires, hit tire with sledge hammer and macebells, rings, battle ropes, bands, punching bag workouts, battle ropes, medicine balls, slam balls, plyoboxes etc. etc.... workouts like MMA fighters do. It keeps it fun and get a great workout

@@futbol1972 Sounds like it! it sure is nice to have variety in ones fitness lifestyle to keep it all fresh and exciting. Doing the same thing over and over again and become boring. Finding an app that does all of that sure would be tricky. It's kind of like finding an all in one productivity app that does task, project management, note taking, calendaring, office suite etc. The app may be very strong in some of those areas, and weak in others, but never great in all. You may need to use multiple apps for different use cases and if using Apple Health, sync everything to that. For me I log all of my cardio using the apple workout app, yeah its pretty basic but I do not need very high details for cardio and the apple workout app built into my Apple Watch does the job. I then log my weight training using Gymaholic. Both sync to apple health, and all of my fitness and activity shows up in one place. It works for my needs.

@@AJFaithFitness ur absolutely right. Iam an android guy never had iPhone. However people told me that fitbod has a lot more features on iPhone than Android. My wife had an extra iPhone laying around so iam using it for fitbod. I have a smart watch but is for android

If I recall correctly, that was an exercise specific option and built into the exercise (meaning you could not change back and forth), but I do not recall exactly.

@@AJFaithFitness I found out that option is not available for Android. Only for iphone.

@@DIY4CFH That is one of the things that I found challenging about this app. How there were two versions (iPhone / Android) with different features (iPhone having more of them), and data cannot be shared between both platforms so if you ever switch phones from iPhone to Android, you lose your data.... Same price however... 🙄

If I recall correctly, its for your next workout regardless of which day you decide to do it on.

Thanks for sharing that feedback and that is definitely one way to do it!

Sure did. I actually have an ionic and filled out the refund form today. Apparently the recall only affects the ionic. Should get my refund in 4-6 weeks…. I am doing well, thanks for asking! Hope you are well as well! Take care Laney and stay safe.

@@AJFaithFitness Hey AJ, Glad you are okay! Once you get your refund, are you going to get another Fitbit? Be well

@@historyhighlightswithlaney318 Honestly, I have not used Fitbit watches since I switched over to my Apple Watch back in October of 2020. The Fitbit was sitting in its box in the basement when I got the email never to be used again, lol.

@@AJFaithFitness 😂, so you weren’t using it, good! I love my Apple Watch, be well!

@@historyhighlightswithlaney318 I am a fan of my Apple Watch as well. Be well as well! 😉

For nutrition, Lose it and My Fitness Pal do a decent job at this. I personally have not used any automated meal plans, and have not found an app that does this all that well, but I am sure there are some out there. As for Lose it and MFP, I believe there are meal plans available, but they were created by someone and don't have much customizability to them. As for workout loggers, Fitbod and Alpha Progression both do an excellent job at auto generating workouts based on your equipment profile. If that is what you are after then these apps are the apps to beat. There are several cheaper options out there if you would prefer to manually create and generate your own workouts. Hevy and Gymaholic both do a great job at this, plus Hevy has a built in social media component to it, similar to IG. You can check out my review videos on either of these apps as well. Hope this helps, and I am glad you enjoyed the video!

@@AJFaithFitness wow thanks so much! I'll definitely check them out

@@AJFaithFitness wow ur other vids were great! especially the comparision between strong and hevy, but sorry I got another question between alpha progression and fitbod, which do you think is better generally? I saw another comment saying the fitbod starts becoming random after a while and idk if u can add automated progression overload as u showed in the alpha progression app, but I liked the diagrams and recovery features on fitbod? thanks in advance!

@@takatoshilee2855 No problem!

@@takatoshilee2855 I have not used Fitbod as much as Alpha Progression, however I feel Alpha Progression has a more structured plan then Fitbod. Both apps do an excellent job at automating progression. One drawback in Fitbod though is you cannot create any of your own exercises within the app, while Alpha Progression does. For me this is a very important feature for I do not want to be limited to an apps exercise library if I wish to try something that is not in the app. They are both solid apps, and both offer free trials. You should try them out together and see which one you like better, and which one fits you style better. For myself, Alpha Progression worked better. I do have a discount code on my Alpha Progression review video, feel free to check it out if you are interested and want to save some money. Again and free trial is available, and if you cancel before the trial expires you don't get charged. Happy lifting!

Good stuff! Happy new year!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Freeletics sounds like a solid app. I may need to have a look 😉

@@AJFaithFitness For sure but it's lacking in many area that I need it to be good in. Isn't really great for building muscle, like fitbod is

Glad you liked! 🙂

They did, and apparently also update the whole app and UI as well.

You get 3 workouts to start with, once those are done you have to pay. If you stop paying (I believe) you still have access to your data and past workouts, but cannot log any new ones. That is how I understood it from looking at their subscription terms.

I have only tried Alpha Progression and Fitbod with official Ai features. I preferred the experience with Alpha Progression, as the programming the app generated felt more structured and I could look weeks ahead and know what was coming up. Fitbod would generate a random workout every time (or so it seemed for me at the time I tried it). Depending on your approach to training, you may prefer one over the other. I personally preferred AP, and the fact I could not add custom exercises to Fitbod was a deal breaker for me. This may have all changed since then as I have not looked at Fitbod in over two years.

@@AJFaithFitness thank you

You're welcome!

Thanks for the visit! Glad you like the video!

That it is. It's a very simple app to operate compared to others I have used. It has a short learning curve.

That is a tough question, it all depends on what you wish to use the app for. If creating custom exercises and logging them is your goal, then every app I have reviewed on the channel thus far will do that with the exception of Fitbod. Hevy tends to be the app I recommend most to people, its one of the most useable free apps, has a very affordable yearly subscription, has a web browser version so you can setup your workouts on your computer, Apple Watch app as well so you can log sessions on the wrist, and a social media component so you can follow/be followed by likeminded individuals who are also into fitness. When creating exercises in Hevy, you can also assign your own exercise image to keep everything in the database looking consistent. I have noticed most apps don't allow for this, and what I do not like is when all custom exercises have some generic boring image mixed amongst the standard library. Gymaholic also has a great exercise creation option, and allows you to place your own exercise images, however this app is only available for Apple devices and not android. Strong is a fine option too, but honestly its more costly than Hevy, has less exercise selection, and the custom exercises don't look as nice. Not to mention it has broader muscle groups (Legs vs Quads, Calves, Hams, Glutes). If you love stats then StrengthLog is a great option, but the premium version can be pricey. I see powerlifters loving this app for its various tools available within the app. As for an app similar to Fitbod, which has gym profiles and Ai generated routine system, Alpha Progression would be a great alternative. It has many similarities to Fitbod, but their subscription is cheaper, and you are able to create your own custom exercises. You can also store all of your workouts into routines, and by weekly training blocks if you wish. You can create your own program, or have the app generate a complete routine, with training blocks, right from its Ai. I have reviews of each of these apps on my channel, feel free to have a look at those that interest you. So better than Fitbod? That is all up to what you are looking for. Hope this helps Marco!

@@AJFaithFitness thank u for ur great response. I like the fact that futbod creates lifting workouts for me and I just edit weigjt, reps or whatever I want to edit. For lifting I kinda like it, however I think is not good for hitt and functional al trainning workouts very limited. I lift 3x a week and do functional trainning/ hitt workouts 2x a week. I have all kinds of functional trainning equipment that I can't add to fitbod:( sandbags, macebells, sledge hammers, punching bags and many more. I just subscribed to fitbod for a month to give app a chance to see if I really like it. Like I mentioned before I think for lifting is ok but I don't just lift I like to mix my workouts with functional trainning, hitt, amprap erc...

@@AJFaithFitness that response earned you a sub brother. Great work

@@WGAGENCY Thank you, and glad you found that helpful! 👊🏻👊🏻

Subscription is not for everyone, I agree.

Thanks for the visit🙂
