AF App 4+

I’ve worked out over the years, but needed help to get back into condition. I have found the entire staff at Anytime Fitness to be professional, committed, friendly and encouraging. I have never found a trainer that knew exactly what I needed, and was able to take that knowledge and push me to accept the challenge necessary to move me from level to level the way that Matthew Free does. I am terribly grateful to the entire staff, and, in particular, to Matthew. This has been a remarkable experience.

Let me start by saying this app has a ton of potential. The design of the app is fantastic. The user interface and layout is intuitive and enjoyable. The gym workouts layered in have a broad range of difficulty (toughness of workout) and complexity (types of exercises), and the new connection with Apple fitness is a great dynamic. Where the app falls short is: A) the app has no functionality for someone to either create their own workout nor add exercises to an existing workout in the event a user does more than what’s spelled out in the app. B) the app doesn’t communicate at all with existing anytime fitness app: Workouts. If the plan is to entirely replace that, then the functionality of “A)” above is needed. Without either A or B, the app repeatedly tells users you have tasks due and you’re not completing your workout plan. Lastly, C) there is no functionality to search out a workout. At best, you have to navigate through the recommended workout, to alternative workouts, and scroll until there’s something better fitting your intention that day. It needs some improvement, but as I said, I have high hopes and look forward to its growth!

Let me start by saying that I’m a huge fan of the old anytime fitness workouts app.
Bring back the option to select your own workout from a list, it’s ridiculous that this was taken away.

Likes:
The quality of the workouts are great.
Appreciate the one stop shop of all of my membership needs and workouts.

Dislikes:
Why would the workout demonstration visual default to video? This makes the app run poorly.
I can’t access or pick a quick workout anymore - this can disincentivize people from getting in a workout when convenient.
The old analog version of the workouts app was TOP TIER for usability to enter what you need. It was so convenient that it felt like writing in my workout stats on paper. The way to enter information and ‘complete’ my workout added at least 5 minutes to my time at the gym, and to be clear I do not like that at all.

What I would like changed:
Change the workout visual default to a picture like the old app.
Add a ‘simplify’ option for input, I don’t want complexity when inputting my stats.
Add a library of pre-fab workouts. Even if it’s just the PDFs from the old app - perfect.
