Madbarz: Bodyweight Workouts

I’ve been using this app for two years and recently went to premium. This app has had its ups and downs but it’s all starting to iron out and become the highest quality fitness app I know. Here are some pros and cons. Pros: •Awesome calisthenics workouts •Great supportive workout community •Ability to customize your own workouts •Gives you structure to your workout •Works well with back ground music •NO MORE BUGS *at the moment* !!! •Good workout programs and meal recipes for premium users •Ability to save other people’s workouts Cons: •Some more advanced techniques are not on the app •The meals (although they are good) are quite limited. Would love to see more added in •Although you can see muscle activation, you can’t see how much each muscle is used •IMPORTANT - Programs almost all lack equipment. All except the Street Workout program and the Muscle Up program use no equipment. I would love to see the advance programs implement the pull up bar, parallel dip bar, etc more into the workouts. Possible improvements: •More use of equipment in advanced programs •More meals •Show how much each muscle is activated

Madbarz has great workouts and a great community. The developer reaches out to the user base every so often to ask for feed back and they listen. They have a huge list of free workouts they still let you keep track of your progress and you still part of the community that encourages you to work out more. I upgraded to the membership version. They have a good menu to suggest what to eat and training plans and schedules with reminders to workout with option like slim down or build muscle. I love the app yes it might have a bug or 2 but they fix them quick and the app is great free or paid.

I love this app! I was very hesitant on canceling my gym membership for an app, to help me get fit lol. I would have to say it was totally worth it. I am see results after a month and enjoy the fact the the workouts are consistently changing. They gym became boring to me after going for over 7 years and I wasn’t seeing any changes in my physique. I am saving a ton of money every month and am excited about working out again. Customer service is quick to respond too (within 24hrs)

The concept of Madbarz is great. Workouts and plans that help people track their progress and achieve their goals. However, the app falls short in many ways. The most frustrating part to me is that your phone needs to be open the entire time you’re completing a workout. This is a massive flaw. The timer should be actively counting even when the phone is locked or you’re using another app. Additionally, I don’t like that you have to walk through the workout move by move without being able to see the workout as a whole (you should be able to navigate around the app while the workout is still going). Lastly, why a 5 second rest and a 5 second countdown? You should be able to move from move to move with absolutely no rest. It’s frustrating clicking your way through a workout and feeling like it’s slowing you down. Again, I like the concept, but if you’re charging a monthly fee, you really need to improve the app experience.

I’ve been using this app for over 3 years now. The running exercise needs to include the ability to set a duration by distance in addition to being able to set a duration by seconds. I’ve been asking for this feature for as long as I’ve been using the app. I love this app but this has gotten to the point of being ridiculous. I used to recommend Madbarz to people all the time, but I won’t be recommending it to anyone until this feature is added.
