It’s an excellent idea to rank people’s workouts because not only does it give them a goal to achieve which motivates them better, but at least for me it makes me excited to go to the gym again because I want to work towards my next rank up. If I had one complaint about the app it’s that the ranking system can be a little weird sometimes. There are some lifts I’ve done that’s considerd Olympian or Titan when I don’t think it should be like Hex Bar Shrugs, and Glute kickback machine, I got really high ranks with those, but they both took like no effort in comparison to a lift where there is probably much more data like bench press I do 225lbs for 10 at 165bw, and that’s considered Titan which I think is pretty fair but that took me much more time and effort to do that compared to randomly doing a hex bar shrug and having it be Titan Level. If I were to add anything to the app it would be a higher rank than Olympian because on some of my ranked Olympian lifts I don’t have that drive to continue. There are also so many people on the leaderboard who are Olympian there should be a higher rank where your lift is considered like GOD or something like that. Overall good app I like the nutrition tracking, and it’s cool that there’s a progressive workout plan that you can follow I don’t use it personally because I know what I like and how to train, but for someone just starting the gym I could see it being really nice to have.

So I downloaded a ton of fitness apps before and they all had some subscription plan that you HAD to pay but I really did not want to pay for something that would tell me what to do, so I downloaded this as a last resort but this did not disappoint! It’s kinda awkward at first because you think you have to pay a plan but you don’t because there’s a little hidden x in the top left of the screen, then there’s the AI that tells you what workouts to do based on the muscles that you want to work on then it gives you workouts and how many reps to do and how much weight you should use because you are aloud to give it your age and weight to get the ai to work but without the info it won’t be a really good app, it also is kinda like Duolingo, because it has a streak system, AND on each workout that you choose it gives you step by step tutorials on how to do the workouts right and has a little animation that shows you what muscles the workout works on by coloring them red! In addition, it also has a feature were you can allow it to access your camera and scan your food for how much calories it has in that meal and if it’s ok for your goals! Trust me you will not be disappointed in downloading this app!

It has a free trial for a week then it’s $80 USD a year after but I think it’s worth it, it literally gives you your own workout plan which I found helpful because I had no idea what I was doing. And it lets you keep track of how good you are compared to other people either globally or regionally. You tell it what equipment you have, if you work out at home or go to a gym, and it will track your macros every day. This app is amazing and there is a lot of help in the app if you are confused with anything either with the workouts you’re doing or anything you do in the app itself. It is great for people who just started working out, or for people who already look like a Greek god. If you want to get lean or strong (or both) or just boast to your friends that you’re a higher rank then them, then this is the only app you will need, thanks liftoff you’ve made so much more easier then you could ever imagine 👍

To preface, this is a positive review. My critiques comes from a place of love and appreciation for what this app is and for what it could be. In general, this app is a lot of fun and does an effective job of making lifting weights a form of “gaming.” I pay for the app and have never felt like that wasn’t money well spent. With all that said, this app seeks to be an all-in-one app for fitness enthusiasts; it certainly has the potential to achieve that goal, but it’s not there yet. Specifically, the food database and barcode scanning features are both seriously lacking. I’m sure to some extent this is outside the control of the developers, but the inability to enter macros yourself or to modify the (often incorrect) macros and serving sizes on items in the food database makes it hard to rely solely on this app for accurately tracking one’s nutritional intake. Barcode scanning is incredibly finicky and I find that even when it can successfully scan a barcode, the food item often isn’t in the database. I won’t go into the AI-based calorie estimation tool, but it’s not something that I would use. Another aspect of this app that I find confusing is that the user interface seems to change at least daily, if not literally every time I open the app. This isn’t a serious issue, but it definitely leads to me being on my phone and in the app more than I would be otherwise to look for where things have been moved to so I can add workouts, log food, or whatever it may be. Maybe this is by design to keep us in the app longer? All in all, I do really enjoy using this app and would recommend it to anyone who feels they’ve hit a wall in their fitness journey or who is simply wanting to add some fun to their workout routine, I just feel that it has yet to meet the coordinates of its potential.
