Strength by Mari 4+

There are a few things I’d like to see incorporated into this app to push it to 5 stars. I wish there was an option to add sets and/or exercises to your day. There are a few goals I’m working on outside of the plans and would like to have it all in one place. Also it would be nice to be able to see upcoming days workouts and not just the next workout - I like to look ahead. One more thing would be a rest timer in the app so I don’t have to constantly switch between my timer app during rests. Overall the home workouts are good so far..excited to try the gym ones once they reopen.

It shocks me that Mari has a fitness app and is not a certified trainer. For $14 CAD a month I would expect the actual app to function properly. If you go on the instagram, most of the comments are about technical difficulties and it takes them forever to actually fix them. I’ve been using it for a while and the glitches keep getting worse (since the new update most people have been locked out of the accounts that they paid for). It’s taken them over a year to add any additional workouts or plans (even though they added in a nutrition section which is basically a big add for her supplement company Bloom). If you’re interested in learning more about this go on r/gymsnark because I feel like it finally opened my eyes to how problematic Mari is. She can afford to go on luxurious vacations all the time but doesn’t care enough to hire people who know how to build a functional app.

Love the workouts and how they are tailored for different levels. This really makes it easy to stick to and encouraging when you feel yourself getting stronger.

However, I can’t be the only one who finds it WAY too easy to hit “complete workout” when you don’t mean to. Please move this button.

I also find the rest countdown to be fairly glitchy. Sometimes it works and most times it doesn’t.
