Madbarz: Bodyweight Workouts 4+

The app is an at-home personal trainer for the price of a gym membership

I’m a paid subscriber and have been for almost a year and a half. This app is worth every penny. The plans feature is my favorite. It’s nice to get workout plans that continually challenge me and I don’t have to think about progressive overload or which body part to focus on. The app keeps upping the ante and rotating its focus on each body part. The plans I do also mix up the style of exercises right on time. Right when I’m tired doing muscle building exercises, it switches me over to a cardio focus. Then for whatever reason I feel energized and confident that I can do it since it’s different.

The app is basically a personal trainer for the price of a gym membership. Keep up the great work!

One critique: I’m up to the advanced exercises now so now many of the plans ask me to workout 5 days a week. 4 is my limit though. I don’t have time for 5 each week, so it would be nice if I could manually control how many days you work out regardless of your difficulty level. I’m assuming that you can’t though because the plans are pre-created by the Madbarz team which means they are the same for everyone. I would find even more value if it generated plans specifically from my history using the app and allowed control over how many times per week.

I love this app

Madbarz has great workouts and a great community. The developer reaches out to the user base every so often to ask for feed back and they listen.
They have a huge list of free workouts they still let you keep track of your progress and you still part of the community that encourages you to work out more. I upgraded to the membership version. They have a good menu to suggest what to eat and training plans and schedules with reminders to workout with option like slim down or build muscle.
I love the app yes it might have a bug or 2 but they fix them quick and the app is great free or paid.

Much Better

I’ve been using this app for two years and recently went to premium. This app has had its ups and downs but it’s all starting to iron out and become the highest quality fitness app I know. Here are some pros and cons.

Pros:
•Awesome calisthenics workouts
•Great supportive workout community
•Ability to customize your own workouts
•Gives you structure to your workout
•Works well with back ground music
•NO MORE BUGS *at the moment* !!!
•Good workout programs and meal recipes for premium users
•Ability to save other people’s workouts

Cons:
•Some more advanced techniques are not on the app
•The meals (although they are good) are quite limited. Would love to see more added in
•Although you can see muscle activation, you can’t see how much each muscle is used
•IMPORTANT - Programs almost all lack equipment. All except the Street Workout program and the Muscle Up program use no equipment. I would love to see the advance programs implement the pull up bar, parallel dip bar, etc more into the workouts.

Possible improvements:
•More use of equipment in advanced programs
•More meals
•Show how much each muscle is activated
