SHREDDY: We Get You Results

It’s a really good app, I was really excited to download and use it. I downloaded the app on Friday, even though my subscription was paid on Thursday, but I was please with the features and concept of it as a whole. The app was working fine all weekend until today. For some reason the app keeps crashing. It won’t load the home screen at all. The community and real time tab are fine (the both load, although the community section isn’t live yet). When I try and click on my profile the app forces me out of the application. It’s frustrating because I’ve paid for a service that I won’t get to use especially on the day the challenge begins. I’ve contacted support and I’ve received an automated email back but nothing yet. What’s more frustrating is that the app is based heavily around social media and there has been no correspondence about the issue(s) (community page- or lack of/ other issues) posted to make their followers aware today so far. I understand they are busy trying to solve this but just keep everyone in the loop would perhaps prevent people from feeling like they need to get in contact multiple times.

I went into this app very skeptical. I’ve done a lot of fitness challenges from influences including meal plans and workouts and they’re all great in principle not practice. Shreddy is the exception to this rule. It’s the brain child of Grace Fit UK and her empire she’s building in the fitness industry. When the app launched there were a lot of bugs and they’ve all been systematically resolved. The 1 star reviews on this product are because of that. The app gives you access to 3 workout guide/ meal plans. Each using calories and workouts designed to achieve whatever your need. It gives you a full vegan meal plan that you can customise (but not currently load your own recipes). The recipes you pick generate an easy to use shopping list which you can tick off as you go. When you get to the workouts they are a 5 day split and the workouts depend on which plan you pick. They’re a combination of HIIT, LISS, Weight resistance and at home classes combining the three. It’s your one stop shop to a fitness lifestyle that’s on auto pilot and it works! Already on the lower side of healthy and following this plan (not even that strictly) I noticed great gains and lost a lot of fat! There’s a suggestion section on the website where the staff listen to customers feedback to improve. If you sign up to Shreddy you will have to remember this product is only two months old and has already been used by more than 10,000 people.

I was so excited to download the app after seeing such a hype over it, however I’m very disappointed. Firstly I was aware the meals would be vegan and I had no problem with that but there is such a small number to choose from, that if there are certain ones you don’t like your low on choice and means your meals become very repetitive. Secondly, for an app to have be so hyped up before it’s release I would expect it to function as it should. You would think it would have been tested well enough so that it doesn’t crash and glitch every time I use it. To the point it’s practically unusable in the gym as it resets the information you put into the set/weight section every time you either exit the app or your phone locks. I end up spending more time retyping the information in so I can track it than I do actually working out. I haven’t seen anyone Grace or shreddy publicly address that these issues are being resolved on any of their social media - where most people would look for information and all in all I feel the app has been rushed and is of a disappointing standard. For £9.99 i don’t think it’s worth it the way it works now, however I enjoy the workouts and they are killer so if the problems can be resolved quickly then I would continue my subscription. Otherwise there are other, better working apps for the same price.

Before I started using shreddy, I could just about muster 15 minutes of cardio followed by very light weight training for about 20 minutes at the gym, never counted my reps or tried new equipments or even upped my weights. I was scared of looking like I didn’t know what I was doing. Shreddy gave me the confidence to go to the gym alone for the first time in my life, try new exercises, increase my weights when lifting and I now have the endurance to do 30 mins on the bike and then some! It honestly shaped my life in so many ways from physically - I went down 2 sizes in 7 weeks and toned up loads - to mentally, overcoming all the anxiety I had surrounding the gym and body image. Yes, there were a few bugs and fixes that needed to be made on the way but the team has been so amazing at listening and altering anything that needed doing throughout and they’re adding more and more so often in order to make exercising so much easier and more fun and accessible to everyone! Thanks to the Shreddy team and Grace for helping me so much the last 2 months and getting me on track for a better life!

I bought the app recently, I was really excited due to the hype on social media. However I am very disappointed. First of all, the app glitches and shuts down a lot. I am currently doing the home workouts, and I have a few complaints in this area. Firstly, a lot of the moves require you to have equipment from Graces line. It did not say this before I downloaded it. So there have been a couple times where I couldn’t do a move such as the lying leg curl, and there’s no option to swap it for another move. The video demonstrations lag, and sometimes don’t work at all. It also doesn’t give you an option to preview the next move so you end up having to pause the circuit to get the right stuff and into the right position for the next circuit exercise. The meal plan is very bland. I was disappointed with the meals, I am vegan anyway, but the meals provided were very boring and flavourless. Also it plans you to have a different meal five times a day, which can become very expensive if cooking for one. It had a lot of ingredients making it an expensive shop. The shopping list would also benefit by being put into categories rather than in alphabetical order. You have to cook every meal, so it’s not practical unless you work from home. Very disappointed and will not be renewing my subscription:(
