## Reviews

### "Great for business" — 5.0/5

> **Alexandra** | *08 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: User friendly, attractive interface, so many exercises in the exercise library so you can really get creative.  Meal plans are easy to put together. My clients love the app\!
> 
> **Cons**: I’m in South Africa so it is extremely expensive for us. I feel like they should have payment plans based on your currency. It takes 8 of my clients payments just to pay for my app monthly, it’s crazy \!\!
> 
> Happy… It’s nice to have the help from the message centre. They fix things fast

### "Change Fitness has grown thanks to FitBudd\!" — 5.0/5

> **Stephanie** | *21 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, client engagement, and overall value. In this order:
Value for money.
Client experience \& support.
Coach \& customer support.
Messaging \& communication.
Business \& brand growth.
Security \& data handling.
> 
> **Cons**: Opportunities for deeper customization and expanded content libraries.
1. Customization Limitations: While branding is strong, deeper customization (advanced workflows, niche needs) can be limited.  Some users report wanting more flexibility in features and templates.
2. Exercise \& Content Library Gaps: Exercise library may not be as extensive as some competitors. Some content relies on GIFs vs. high-production video (unless customized).
3. Platform Nuances / Workflow Constraints: Scheduling structure (e.g., weekly flow) can require manual adjustment for client start dates. Occasional syncing or mobile vs. desktop functionality differences reported. 
4. Advanced Feature Depth: For highly advanced coaching models (clinical-level nutrition, deep analytics), additional tools may still be needed. Some features are evolving rather than fully mature.
> 
> FitBudd has been instrumental in building and scaling Change Fitness into a streamlined, client-centered coaching experience. The platform combines training, nutrition, messaging, and progress tracking into one intuitive system, allowing me to deliver high-touch, personalized coaching at scale.

Its strongest advantages are ease of use, client engagement, and overall value. While there are opportunities for deeper customization and expanded content libraries, FitBudd remains a powerful, all-in-one solution for modern fitness businesses.

### "Fitbudd is amazing for beginners" — 5.0/5

> **Joshua** | *08 August 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fitbud is honestly one of the easiest to learn systems out there. But just because it's easy it doesn't mean that it lacks behind other apps. Let me get amazing value for your money, you get high nutrition workout Creation with the AI and the user interface is amazing. They have great clients support.
> 
> **Cons**: So far the only thing I haven't liked about it is the lack of a CRM. Hopefully in the future it will be a little bit easier to automate marketing with in the app
> 
> Overall everything has been amazing and I can be happier with everything I've been able to do so far.

### "Very happy with fitbudd" — 5.0/5

> **Nicholas** | *24 February 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Prompt customer service and easy to use interface. Great success with client engagement and very minimal sleek app design.
> 
> **Cons**: Wish the coaching app would have more features for creating workouts and editing the all rather than going into browser.

### "Not business-friendly" — 1.0/5

> **Gale** | *09 July 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was easy to sign up and get the trial activated, but that is the extent. They could be so much more with better focus on the customer.
> 
> **Cons**: Have to contact to cancel. Illegal\! Not business-friendly. We tried Fitbudd but lost a week because level 1 support couldn’t explain why a key feature wasn’t available during the trial. Support was slow due to overseas delays, and when we asked for a refund or more test time, they flatly refused. Rigid billing, poor customer-first thinking. Not recommended for serious businesses.
> 
> Rigid Billing \& Slow Support — Not Built for Real Businesses

We were testing Fitbudd for potential rollout—but hit a technical issue early on. For nearly a full week, basic features weren’t working due to a bug on their end. That wasted valuable testing time.

Once the bug was finally addressed, I asked if we could extend the trial or get a refund so we could properly evaluate the platform. Their response? “Billing is non-refundable.” No flexibility. No grace. Just copy-pasted policy.

What made it worse was the slow overseas support—every reply took 24–48 hours. Even simple conversations stretched over days. That kind of support pace is unacceptable for any real business trying to make timely decisions.

Despite it being clear that we were testing, and despite the platform not functioning correctly for a chunk of the trial, Fitbudd still processed a charge—and refused any consideration for a refund.

This experience shows a complete lack of customer-first thinking. If you're a business that values responsiveness, transparency, or fairness—look elsewhere. You won't find it here.

I'm sharing this to help others avoid the same mistake.Long delays in answers and support\!
