Overall very easy to use detailed app. But would love the option toake notes on each workout that I can see and/or my trainer. For ex: when doing a workout the following week we can see the weights and reps we did but it would be nice to see notes as well.
The app does most of what I need it to, but is very glitchy and can be difficult to use. In the workout section it does what it needs to, but as other reviewers have noted lacks basics like auto-fill of weights based on previous use or (even better!) recalculating the weight based on best guess at RPE for you. It also used to stay open during workouts but in recent versions the phone goes to lockscreen while you’re idle (i.e. doing the exercise) which is extremely annoying. The other major gripe I have is that the forums are not functional. Every time I type something in the forum the text gets garbled because it’s trying to autocomplete words for me but then weirdly puts the cursor back in the middle of the previous word so I’m typing nonsense. I’ve never experienced this before in another app. More importantly when I’m in the forums, 2/3 times the app freezes and crashes and I have to wait while I reopen the app. This has been a problem since my program started using Everfit and they haven’t fixed it during that entire time. It’s extremely annoying and at this point the coaches are just telling us to write our post or reply in another app and copy/paste it because it will always crash before we can get through writing it in Everfit.
Started using the app around 5 weeks ago with my PT. It’s incredibly similar to other PT apps out there that I have used before, but with less integration with Apple fitness and Apple health - both reading and writing. The usability of the app is fairly straightforward although unlike competitors it does not allow you to add a weight to a particular move and apply to all sets, which would be more straightforward. Does not write things such as workout length to apple fitness so you have to both start your workout in Everfit and also start a workout in Apple fitness which seems duplicative. Overall not a bad app but more of an average “me too” to the competition rather than a “better different” in terms of innovation and performance. Fingers crossed they keep developing and innovating to improve.
I agree with everything the previous reviewer stated about the inconvenience of having to start each section, the lack of auto fill in weights, the inability to add an extra exercise to the day’s routine, and the scroll for selecting weight or reps is a pain, mostly because it isn’t easy to activate the scroll. My biggest issue… I have to be tethered to my phone! I can’t do a workout without the phone. The app needs updated to talk to our watches, whether it be Garmin or apple. I mean it already connects to apple health. Also, be nice to have a library of exercises you can tweak your workout to that are accessible to all clients and not dependent upon the coach having to load them. Flexibility and personal choice are important to me, especially when I want to lift more than is scheduled. Not a bad app, just lacking in areas of convenience for the client.
I like how workouts can be sectioned by warm up, workouts, intervals and whatnot. I do not like that I have to start each section. Once the workout it started I should be able to move through it freely. If I accidentally hit done in a section it’s a hassle to go back and hit the edit button to fix when I’m still currently doing the workout. Also, if I want to do a workout not on a scheduled day, I have to hit the small calendar button and move to current day in order to start the workout. In other apps you just hit start workout and the option to move is given. It may seem lame, but initially I didn’t know this and it took a few minutes to realize why I couldn’t start my workout. I also dislike that I can’t auto fill my weights in my workouts. When logging weights you can type the weight in, but reps have a scroll which isn’t convenient at all. I’d rather have the option to type my reps in also, and auto fill those as well. It would allow for more time focusing on my workout and less time in the app. Overall, the app runs smoothly, I just feel I spend too much time on using the app during my workout.
This is so frustrating to use!! As another reviewer stated, you literally have to be tethered to your phone to do the workouts. I’m not a trainer, I’m a client. At first, I thought I was mistaken, so I contacted Everfit for clarification, but sure enough they responded saying that this is indeed just phone-based. You can’t even use it on an iPad! No desktop option either. You can’t loop the videos, you can’t do anything functional. Using this app requires MORE work than the workouts themselves! I love the trainer I’m working with through Everfit but the platform is so bad, that I have to quit her program. Hopefully she’ll switch to another platform soon. I cannot continue with an app that requires this many taps just to exercise. I just noticed their most recent updates and here excited at the possibility that it might at least include a looping update but nope. Deleting the app!
I truly wish my coach would use a different app. This app is only available in portrait mode. Why does that even make sense to any developer? What iPad or laptop only uses portrait mode to watch videos from a fitness coach? Seriously. So am I expected to turn my iPad or my laptop on it’s side to be able to watch the workout videos provided by my coach? I can’t even cast it to my tv because all the videos are sideways! I noticed this same feedback was given to the developers by another user back in April, but no change huh? I had to ask my coach for a refund because this app is a waste of my time. My workout in the past week has been my neck. It’s a little stronger after a week of attempting to complete workout videos while watching it sideways. smh
I work on software and mobile apps so I know how hard it is to get good feedback, in my opinion, this app needs an ease of use update. As many comments have pointed out it’s far too tedious to perform a bunch of actions. Here’s a few easy wins for the Product Manager to throw on the backlog: Auto-fill weights for exercises once they’re filled in once for the workout. If I fill in 20lbs for a weight on an exercise I shouldn’t have to manually re-add that weight to the same subsequent exercise. This will also add value to the “Mark All” feature. If I still have to fill out weights it seems dumb to have that feature available. Make rescheduling days easier, is there a reason you can’t drag and drop from the training page? Having an additional button for that seems to over complicate things. In general it works it’s just a bit tedious to use, just auto-fill weights so I can use the mark all and not have to click 500x for one workout. Thanks!
Been using Everfit with my trainer for a little while now and was able to get much closer to the results I've been looking for especially during the pandemic when it's hard to meet up with anyone. Even after this is all over, I feel this would help me and my trainer keep focused on my personal fitness goals since the flexibility with time provided by Everfit is also very important to me since I'm pretty busy and I can do this on my own schedule.
The text for instructions my trainer provides are too small for my middle aged eyes on my phone so I am using my iPad. Sometimes the videos will rotate to horizontal but usually not. There is always a delay for the video to start when playing a section and if I pause the video the timer doesn’t stop, vice versa. It’s easier not to make it okay the videos automatically but if I watch ahead it doesn’t count my workouts as being done even if I check the exercises as done. Hope there will be improvements.
In theory, this app is pretty good and very useful if you have full access. I keep getting notifications for this app but I cannot check them or see them because the menu at the bottom only shows the ‘inbox’ and ‘you’ options. I do not have the option for the ‘today’ tab to access notifications. So on my Home Screen it shows that I have 5 notifications but when I go into the app I cannot see the notifications or clear them so the bubble on my home screen will stop showing them.
Please get rid of the scroll wheels. They are inconvenient and difficult to use. Please also get rid of the double confirmation of logged weight etc. Hitting update should be enough, but if you neglect to hit the grey check mark and make it turn green then it doesn’t log. Also, if you try to backlog something because you forgot a check mark you should have the option to still log it under the correct date and not have two entries for the same date. This app needs tons of help. You should also be able to log treadmill time with seconds as well.
I realize this platform allows trainers to connect with clients. But it is my understanding you can also sign up as a client who will then get connected to a trainer. I have downloaded the ap but am not given the chance to create or open an account. It only offers me to log in but I don’t have an account so it won’t let me log in. When I click the Support link, it is only geared for trainers. I’m missing something here but searching and searching without luck!
The app is ok. Nothing special. Somewhat easy to use. HOWEVER, when my coach has a cumulative weight moved leaderboard up for my group I would like it to actually add my weights properly. It’s basic addition. I’ll end my workout and it says 15k pounds lifted yet on the leader board it will only reflect 9K. It would be nice to rely on it to be accurate and not short me on what I’m doing. It also needs a Apple Watch interface so you can click through workouts on your watch as you finish vs being tied to your phone.
While the app supports you in most of the core functionality to execute on a mobile device, using this app on an iPad is useless if you cannot use it in landscape mode. I use my iPad like a laptop with mobile data to ensure I can work from anywhere and not having the ability to use this in landscape means that as an app itself, it lacks the feature that makes it useable. I can certainly use this on safari, but if that is work around, then simply don’t have an app.
The Everfit app is ok from a Hx strand point, you can generally find your way around and run through workouts as intended, though it can go a bit haywire if the coach doesn’t have a strong working understanding of the coach side. However the lack of Apple Health data syncing (other than steps) is borderline criminal for a fitness app in 2023. As an app builder, I know it’s not that hard to turn on more categories of data syncing, but in a brief and rude conversion with support, they made it sound like an impossibility. Get with the times.
Loved the animals that would show at the end of a workout. Ex: “Congratulations! You lifted 5 alpacas. You lifted 770 lb during this workout. An alpaca weighs 150 lb on average!” Motivated me every workout to see which animal would pop up, especially when increasing weight. Haven’t had those in about 2 months. :(
I’d like to be able to leave a note for my trainer in the app, specifically tied to the workout. We are prompted to rate the difficulty, but it would be helpful to have the option to tell them why or if something is good/bad. I know there is an email function, but that’s not tied to the workout. Three stars because I like the app, but I wish it had a few more options.
I switched from PT distinction to Everfit and it was the best decision I could’ve made for my business! This app is faster, has more features, and a much sleeker look compared to PTD. The developers are amazing and are always open to feature suggestions. Thank you Long, Jon, and the Everfit team for all you do!
Hands down the best experience. Its so simple to navigate workouts, programs, track meals, view progress and other resources my trainer provides. My trainer had us switch over from and another app and I’m so glad she did! It makes training fun and motivating.
Good tracker used with my trainer. Some recommendations for the developers: when logging certain things like how much water I drank and how much sleep I got, I have to click four times to get back to the main screen. Thanks!
100% agree with all the other reviews about how annoying it is to be forced to click through each section and how tedious it is to adjust a workout. I just want to log and track my workouts. I know how to rest between sets and I'll use a timer if I want, but it should be optional and not a forced part of the workflow.
Often I’m in the gym and warm up, then when I open the app ready to workout there is a surprise update prompt. I cannot use it without updating. Gyms are often large metal buildings without good service. This means I need to walk outside to update my app before i start my workout. It’s poor user experience. I should be able to run my workout before updating.
Upon downloading the app I was prompted to login without having any login info. I can’t navigate away from the page or anything. I’ll leave a 4star for now but can’t give a 5 because I can’t even use it.
I love using this app with my coach and her program BUT it drives me crazy that the weekly schedule for training runs Monday to Sunday. At the very least, please make it an option to change the week format to Sunday through Saturday. Otherwise love the app!
Team — Can we at least add landscape mode for iPad version? It is way easier to respond to messages on iPad with a keypad however it is frustrating to see the app stay at portrait mode. Should be an quick fix with some UI auto arrangement
Was working great until the update a few days ago. Now workouts are not logging. Keep getting error "unstable internet, will log later". Checked internet, disconnected internet and re connected. Uninstalled app and re installed. Still not working. I've spoke with other clients having the same issue.
Excellent features, easy to manage workouts and rest periods. You can do communications with your trainer all within the app. Very happy with this experience so far.
Love this app, easy to track and communicate with my trainer. I would love to see this app become compatible with my Apple Watch so I don’t have to carry my phone around the gym
I really like this app, but I find it very frustrating that it only works in portrait mode. This is hard for me to use with my iPad stand, and it makes the videos unnecessarily small in some cases. I would love to have this feature!
The app always crashes when filling out a form. I’ll be almost done after having spent so much time writing and filling out forms, just for it to crash on the last question and lose everything. Also, the exercise sessions should be more customizable for clients. Let us pause exercises. Let us move them around.
This app is extremely cumbersome. You need to download other apps for this app to work properly. But for some reason it won’t sync with my Apple Fitness. The app says it’s connected but it’s not. Probably the worst aspect is that there are simply too many different pages to navigate through which is very time-consuming.
I agree that this app is more work than the workout itself. One big drawback is previous weight used doesn’t show up so I have to hunt for that information on a separate part of the app. Very time consuming. I’m now reviewing the app and writing down the workout and last weight used before I go to the gym and log things when I get home.
The so-called Garmin integration only pulls in the step counts, and not my other workouts. And good grief, update the iOS version so we can use Chromecast to cast. Not everyone iPhone user has Apple TV!
I love using this app with my coach! It’s user friendly and I can talk to my coach directly on the app. I can send him videos and he can critique my form. This app makes it so easy to track my workouts. I love it!
App needs to have more apple integrations like with the watch and collect exercise/activity data. It’s incredibly painstaking to manually input activity data recorded on the watch into this app. Additionally, there are workout demos that do not match the actual workout assigned.
The workout platform is horrible. I am constantly worried about looking at my phone while I exercise because there is no countdown or buzzer when the exercise time is up. SOMETIMES a buzzer goes off when I am supposed to start an exercise. The only reason I have this stupid app is because it’s what my trainer uses.
When you go to sign up in the beginning it ask for user name or to sign in with Google. So I made an account with Google and then try to log in with it but says the account ain’t verified and to sign up but there is no sign up button
The app needs a built in video compressor. When submitting videos for our coaches to review, we shouldn’t have to edit down and compress our videos within another app then upload it to Everfit. It should all be seamlessly done within Everfit.
The app is not user friendly in flowing with the user mid workout. You can’t set it and go. You have to keep interacting/touching the screen. And the app keeps freezing not allowing you to complete the workout.
It’s been about three days and every time I try and load the app it crashes and takes me to the homepage. The latest update from a day ago didn’t help. Can you please resolve so I can get back to working out?
Seriously, I’m used to this workflow: 1) open app 2) tap on ONE thing you want to look at 3) tap on ANOTHER thing [APP CRASH/Freeze] Fine. 1) open app 2) tap ONE thing to look at 3) QUIT APP 4) repeat 😒 I would stay away if it weren’t for my coach. This platform needs fixing. Where are the developers with bug fixes? Probably contracted 😒
