Force USA 4+

Just disappointed

To give credit there it’s due first, the gym itself is great. I bought the G12 and I’m enjoying it so far. For the price it’s worth it compared to other gyms. The app is disappointing to say the least. You can’t customize your workouts for starters. When using the programs once you make a decision like skip or something it’s permanent and can’t be changed. There is no going back. On the explore tab it gives me lists of specific workouts only to click on some of them but no workouts are actually there. The tutorials are fairly worthless. It only give you one view so if you’re or sure on form or where to stand you won’t get help from them. At least show us a side and narrate the video or something. It’s not a tutorial if you don’t give instructions. I’ll use the app for the first program and at least finish it but I’m very underwhelmed by the app so far. I’m hoping in the very near future something new is coming.

Not great

I was super excited to use this app. Overall it looks great, and when I completed the workouts in the program I picked it was great, but I had to skip a day, and it gives the option in the upper right corner to skip, but it would t actually work and I couldn’t move on to the next session. I’m literally stuck unless I complete that day of the session. There’s just no way to get out of it and it’s frustrating. Then I picked another program and it took me to week 9 and weeks 1-8 were skipped for some reason. I had never even been on that program and I couldn’t do anything to change it. I tried deleting the app and redownloading it, but when I did, all the same information was still in there. It’s absolutely not user friendly AT ALL. Probably one of the worst apps to try and use. Exercise programs look great, you just can’t use them the way I think they are intended to be used.

Soooo Buggy

First there is no way to go back after starting a program, and it automatically assumes you are on the next day even if you skip a day so you can’t go back within an active program.

They need to add “how to” section for the machines particularly for upgrades that are not super intuitive like the leg curl adapter.

The videos of exercises in a program don’t play when you’re on the exercise so you have to watch them all first and then remember them when you get to that exercise. Make the videos playable at the start of each exercise or have them play during the rest period. That would be a big help!

I want to love this app and use it with my G12 but as it sits the app makes working out frustrating. Hope it gets better soon!

Developer Response ,

Hi there,
Thanks for the feedback.
Our hope is that the Force USA Training App will offer massive value to you for many years to come. We are currently working on every aspect of the App to make it even better. We will look to add tutorials for the leg curl adapter. The videos should be playing in all the intended spots. I will look into why you are getting this issue and fix it asap. Work is already underway to develop a back button as you described. Thanks for all your constructive feedback.
