GymRats · Fitness challenge 4+

This is perfect!! I love how customizable this is. My friend and I are working out together but hated apps that made you weigh yourself and count calories. We just want to focus on moving and enjoying fitness, not worrying so much about obsessing over macros. We’ve been using this 3 weeks so far and it’s super motivating! I wish you could edit the photo after the workout is posted, though. It would also be nice to see the progress total—such as total number of minutes or distance or whatever goal it is. I’d love an option with a progress bar or percentage showing how far into the challenge you are too.

Either way—it’s nice there’s different options like hustle points, which we’re going to try next. PS for those who do want to track calories burned, you can have that option. It also has distance, time, and some other options, too! This is a great app.

Thank you for the review! Feedback noted.

My friends and I use this all the time for group challenges. But, it looks like you got rid of open point style challenges. One challenge we like to do is pick you poison, where each lady picks four possible points a day to get. We all pick our own four points at the beginning of the month and use this ap to track them. It is really fun. But for June, it looks like there is no more open point option. There are these new hustle points, which look super fun for later, but they won’t work for open points. We have also used open points for other challenges where the group says what the points equate to rather than the ap telling us. Please bring back open point tracking.

Hi, thank you for your review! The app actually does still support an open point system, although it’s not obvious. To do this, do the following. 1) Create a hustle points challenge 2) When the app asks for activities for the challenge, select “Start completely new” 3) Don’t create any activities 4) When logging a workout, you’ll be able to manually enter points into the points field and the app will accept it and tally it up as your score. Sorry it’s a bit harder, but I think you’ll find it’s still possible.

My friends and I have been looking for an easy way to do fitness challenges, but since we all have different phones/fitness trackers/preferred methods of exercise, this was proving hard to do. This app solves that problem nicely, and we rank by calories burned. My only gripe, and this is a personal one, is that I wish it linked to my Fitbit. Since it does not, I have to manually enter data, which is only mildly inconvenient. My other wish is that I would like the option to add photos or videos to all workouts, not just the manual entry ones. Otherwise, a perfect app for our purposes.

Thank you for the review and suggestions. They are on my list of things to do.
