Absolutely loved this app. It was easy to navigate. I didnt have any issues with it while doing the challenge. The workouts are easy to find and follow. I highly recommend this app. The best part about the app is that it will determine your macros with a few short question which is awesome! You can also view your macros on the app! There is also so many options of workouts to purchase if you dont want to do a challenge. I love the fact that there is options to choose from. Get the app!!!!
I used to use JEFit & I do like that app; it has some features that I wish FBK had & vice versa but b/c of the high quality, instruction & gif’s of the workouts, I prefer FBK. I hope customization features get implemented in the future but overall, this is a GREAT app for getting in shape: great direction, don’t have to think about planning, you just go & it’s there. Highly recommend it & I think they have a customer for life with me! It will not let me add my suggestions b/c it’s too long.
I'm in love with this app! I'm notoriously motivated for the first week of "getting back into shape" and then running out of work out ideas and just giving up. This app has SO many programs and workouts I have changed my gym routine completley and seeing huge results! The how-to videos also give an added confidence when challenging myself with something new. So glad I found it.
(edit dec 2021) they just updated the app with major changes. it looks fancier now but it also has their blog on it which i find completely unnecessary for a fitness app. if i want to look at articles, i would use the website. i try to stay away from any SM related nonsense and wish i could remove the blog. it has also had continuous problems on android with freezing and having to close and reopen the app. the workouts are great for general training and i use it mixed with another program.
I love the Fit by Katy app! I use it 5 times a week. I've also participated in 4 challenges, and I had great results! I highly recommend for anyone who likes knowing exactly what to do for your daily workout. Will continue using it! Life changing! Just get it!
This app is very user friendly. Once you create your profile and sign in you have access to your workouts. You can log how many reps you complete along with the weight used for that rep. You can continue to do that for each exercise. If the exercise is repeated another day or week the reps/weights used for that exercise carry over so you remember where you left off.
I have been using the Fit by Katy app for all my fitness needs for the last several years. I love the design and continuous improvements to the app.
Wow this app is so easy to use. Love the videos showing how to move in the exercise. I look forward to new challenges. Thank you FIT by Katy for changing my life.
Love the app. It's great for beginners and great for people who have been exercising for a long time. They have been prompt on fixing bugs with the app and made a lot improvements.
I like the new look. I don't like that my weights from previous sets don't autopopulate. A rest timer would be a great addition.
Pros: Layout is loads better after last update. Much more user friendly. Cons: App crashes when I hit finish workout When adding reps/weight it doesn't tell me how many reps or sets I'm supposed to be doing so I have to go back and look and then go back to log. Great app overall! 👌🏼
I am interrupting my workout to write this....I am about to start my 5th exercise, the app has crashed (complete with shutting my phone OFF!!!) When I log each exercise that's right, my phone has shut off 4 times already. This app SUCKS. Need an android fix ASAP .
Ive had this app for over a year and have had no complaints. Woke up one morning to an updated app, logged in, and lost all premium access even though ive been paying for it. Customer service options kinda look like a scam but i sent an email anyway (the only way to contact) Will change my rating when refunded. Side note - I'm an android user but haven't had a problem with freezing/shutting down. I was paying for a service I no longer can access since the update and want my money back.
Easy to use. I love the log to track your weights with each exercise. Minor app issues occur but is quickly fixed.
The app concept amazing, very easy to follow. However, I do not know if it's because if it's because I have an android that's its super buggy. I see a black screen when I upload pictures. The app cannot handle exercises very well as it starts to not respond. This is a huge problem, whether you have bought a $200, $100 challenge or even just the basics and or even free, for it to not work properly is a huge downside. There really needs to be a fix.
love the workouts! I've purchased a few plans over the years and I have enjoyed all of them. However, the app is not up to par. It's constantly crashing, which is annoying to say the least. Also, wish the app would recognize that I'm on day x of week x, instead of always opening to day 1, week 1 when using the 8 week plans. Additionally, I would like to have the ability to track how much weight I'm lifting, but the other issues take higher priority.
I was super excited to download this app since I love Katy and all her products! It's been a few days now and I'm ready to cancel.. it just isn't for me. At first I liked it but I started to get annoyed quickly. I didn't like that when I would choose a workout and set my phone it would completely disappear if my screen went off. Da heck? Also the videos take forever to load and sometimes dont show up at all. Anyway it's a great idea but maybe needs some work.
Overall the exercises that she provides are great, except the app itself is very frustrating to use. The videos won't load up or they take forever to do, in addition at times the app freezes up. i hope they really fix these glitches because it doesnt help when you are trying to workout and you dont know how to perform the exercise. also i wish it had a log file of previous exercises to know what i did last week and keep track of my progress.
I would have given this app 5 Stars before the update. Since the update I've noticed a couple errors... Such as during a specific exercise the description will say one thing but the video showing the exercise is completely different. I also don't like how you can't preview a specific exercise within the workout without confirming that it is the whole workout you want to do. I liked being able to preview the exercise in case it required equipment or space that I do not have.
This app helps me feel more confident and organized at the gym, but I wish it kept track of your progress. Each time I open the app while I'm working out I have to scroll back to the correct week and day. And once your at week 5-8 it's pretty annoying. If it could save our progress as we complete a day or a week, it would be so much easier to use. That way when we open the app it goes straight to the current day/week.
Note: I am using this app on an android device and used the home workout version for the 2020 summer challenge This app needs a lot of work. The app crashes a lot. If you try and switch quickly between exercises, the app will freeze and you have to force stop it to get it to load again. When doing the exercises there is no set counter or timer available. The video for the exercises are nice, but there is no option to pause and it can mess with your music app.
I am SO HAPPY this is on Android. Its a great app and really a great resource for anyone who is new to the gym or just wants a workout they dont have to plan. I saw someone else suggested a place to log what weight they used and I think that is an awesome idea. The one thing that bothers me about the app is that when you get a random workout if you accidentally press the back button the workout is gone. It would be great to have a last viewed button or something. Overall, exactly what I needed!!
I had to cancel my subscription temporarily, and just reactivated it. When opening the app, it tells me to choose a subscription, and when I choose the Basic Edition, it gives me an error and tells me that I already have that subscription, but I can't access any workouts because it won't let me get past that subscription prompt. Help!
I have loved this app even before doing my first challenge. I love the ability to add my sets/weights to track. I like that it shows up to remind me on the next same workout. A notes section at the end would be good but it doesn't make or break the app for me. I've used the workout generator and used the other programs without any issues.
The app is super buggy. I'm paying $19 per month but can't access any of the premium workouts. To top it off, the customer service is super slow to response. Given that I rely on the app for my workouts, this experience has been super disruptive. Buyers beware. Until they fix their response times, and create a more reliable/consistent app experience, save your money.
I have the $5 uncoached version for now, I have not done one of the challenges. This is a great tool to have on a fitness journey. I wish the sets/reps were a little more customizable and that you could select 2 areas at once for what you want to work out, like chest and back instead of just chest. The videos are very helpful. Drains your battery though. The "workout done" message is cute and you're able to screenshot it and post that to social media.
I love the workouts and they have definitely helped me take my fitness to the next level. however, the app itself drives me nuts. it's always freezing multiple times through my workout so I have to wait, close out, restart and then cant get my current workout back so I have to generate a new one, then I'm stalling at the gym messing with it. I still use it because I need the guidance and really love the workouts it generates but would love if it ran better.
the workouts are great, but if I accidentally hit back while watching a video, it loses the whole workout I was on and then I have to try to go back and find it throughout the generator. It slows down the workout. Playing the videos also stops my music every time even though there is no sound in the video
Been using the app regularly for about 6 weeks but have had it downloaded since January, its improved alot. But started to notice if i leave the app and come back to it, it kicks me out to the front screen. So i constantly have to open and pick me workout and swipe left a bunch to get back to where I was. Makes it impossible to use the generator because i lose whatever workout had been generated.
So easy to use! I'm loving the set up of this App. I like that it now has reps and weight/lbs added to each exercise. It also states the last date of when you did a certain exercise. Its so simple. If you go to the home/today page it give you a choice of blogs to choose from. It has a section of your macros, workouts, and progress. Really impress and didn't find it difficult at all.
