App integration is at a peak for ANY game I've used before. The various XP, coin, and trophy accumulation adds significantly to the BBVR fitness product. I strongly recommend BBVR for anyone who wants to combine cable weight fitness and gaming. The AI that determines how much the user lifts is incredible, and the app tracks progress and makes adjustments as you go, allowing the user to monitor results and be gaming while they improve. This game is intense. You will need to catch your breath.

I like the workout experience, but this is honestly one of the worst apps I've ever regularly used. The developers seem more interested in adding new features, which are also broken, than fixing the many, many, many bugs. Even when they supposedly ship fixes, problems are still legion. I have no faith it'll ever get any better.

I love the gym. It's fun and I actually look forward to playing after work. The app though...The app constantly glitches and crashes, every time I minimize the app it has to load back from scratch which takes forever. It's also clunky to navigate. Would be worth it for some Google fit integration though.

I go to a 24 hour gym that has this service available to it, but the scheduling on this is super inflexible. You have to start on their 45 minute interval regardless of use at the facility, and it's only available during certain hours at that. I should not have to adjust my schedule and inconvenience those who I workout with because an app or service wants to act antithetical to the idea of a 24 hour gym. "Business hours" of the app should at least allow scheduling anytime in that time.

Obviously in development, but easy to navigate. My one issue is that there are only 2 avatars and they are vastly different in size. I'm nonbinary and would feel more comfortable with an avatar that had a more androgynous body type. Additionally having different sizing for the genders would help it feel more personalized. Aside from that I have no technical issues.

Really fun service! It takes a few sessions (about 6 for me) for the weight resistance and the game mechanics to ramp up to the point of really becoming engaging. I'd recommend anyone give this a try.
