YMCA of the Triangle Fitness 17+

Love the information available through the app and the capabilities for storing workout data.

Two poor design issues:
1. The “+” icon to add workouts is one example of an icon that is too small and far too close to the edge of the screen. If your phone has a cover on it, the icon is nearly unreachable with the curb over the glass. Why? There is so much screen available?? 😟
2. The artificial timers make you wait forever before the app becomes awake again. Ugh. For example “Workout added successfully” just sits there for 5 seconds for no reason or value. Poor user experience. 🤔 Easy to fix. 😃

Version 3.4 is terrible. Not only did it take me 15 attempts to successfully change my password and login (I am not a tech-challenged person - this was definitely a glitch), but you can only filter by one class type at a time now. So I can’t go in and look at the list of upcoming yoga and cycle classes anymore - I have to change the filters each time. Same with the individual classes - I now have to look at a list of all the 50 types of cycle classes offered instead of the 2 kinds I attend. Additionally, it no longer has the feature that allows me to add classes to my calendar. I don’t understand the update - it’s the same but worse!! Please bring back the old features!!! It was fine before and now it’s clunky and less useful. It shouldn’t be this complicated and frustrating to be able go to an exercise class. :(

I mainly use this app to keep track of my weight training workouts. It works pretty well for this, but has one major flaw and one minor. First, if you are in the middle of a workout and the app is killed by the OS for whatever reason, it does not remember your progress when it relaunches. This is a huge frustration. There is no reason it can’t persist your in-progress workout and put you right back there when it relaunches. As it is I have to try to remember what I had filled in and start over. The second issue, which is more of a minor annoyance, is that the app will occasionally pause the music you have playing when you switch to it. I have to unpause my music multiple times throughout my workout.
