Full transparency… I did barre 3 for a solid year 3 years ago. I quit and started to migrate into other avenues and other workout programs. Nothing felt right, nothing was “enjoyable”. The past couple months I came back to barre3 and it just felt like home! The individuality and the autonomy to do what your body needs. It’s encouraged to serve your body not what the world thinks your body needs. No judge zone and with an emphasis on not judging yourself but simply showing up and being yourself! Love it!

Love the classes this review is not about that. The review is focused on app functionality and features. Why can’t we access our own collections on the app (we can on the web). I know we can access our favorites as one long list, but I specifically created my own collections (warm ups, b3 focus lower, b3 focus glutes, b3 focus core, etc) b/c the filtering functionality is lacking. For example being able to drill down the b3 focus classes even further would be great as they just seem to be sprinkled in with the strength classes filter which makes finding a focus class hard. Better filtering and accessing our own collections in the app would be a great update. Thankfully I can mirror my iPad screen and use the web platform for classes, but not everyone can.

Glad to see Barre3 brought out an app, and it’s nice to have the option to download workouts. However, the functionality is not as good as the website for finding workouts, because it’s hard to see the titles and sometimes it takes you to the collection a workout was first posted in and then you have to find the actual workout all over again. You can’t filter for a combination of length and props like you can online. Also, it doesn’t track workouts you’ve done like the online version, or sync anything with the tracking that does happen in the online version. I was hoping I’d be able to cast from the app using chrome cast but can’t do that either. Going back to the web version until it improves.

The app is very frustrating. It no longer logs my completed workouts after I finish a video. There isn’t an option to mark that I’ve completed a specific video which would be helpful to not only track progress, but also help remind me of which videos I’ve done in the past. If I stream the video from the app to my TV it doesn’t log the video when finished. You can’t track progress in app anymore, it kicks you out to their website instead. This app could be so great, just as great as the Barre3 workouts! I hope they improve the functionality and features for those of us paying the online membership.
