Free Fitness Builder (Free)
REVIEW – “Pump it Up!”
The free version of Fitness Builder, Free FitnessBuilder shows briefly the extent of the full version with images of numerous workouts for men and women taken in studio with detailed close-ups and accompanying videos. The free version has a lot of potential and the videos are fun to watch, quick, and well made. Most of the workouts are based on pilates, yoga, ball, mat, and free weights. Very few machine workouts are provided.
One of the best features of this app is to create your own workout. The interface is easy to use and immediately you can add all the workouts you want and get going. A flip screen lets you track your workout and simply clicking the small video play button at the bottom of the screen launches a short introductory video for that particular workout. While the Free Fitness Builder offers a help and introduction immediately, using the app is pretty self-explanatory and straightforward. The images are crisp and clean against a white background for easy visibility.
Overall, I really liked the interface and a taste of what the full version offers. At $9.99, it is pretty expensive, but if you enjoy the workouts in the free version, you will certainly find it less than a trainer.
Another improvement I would like to see is in the stability of the app. I noticed after running the app twice, it crashed and I had to reset my iPhone. The crashing could pertain to the app having too many images on it perhaps but this is an error that needs to be fixed as soon as possible otherwise users will not want to stick with it.
As a fitness app, the Free FitnessBuilder reveals the strengths of the paid version and is quite appealing because of its ability to customize workouts and choose from an extensive library. If the stability issue is addressed and a few more complete workouts are available, this free app would be one of the best free fitness apps available in the store.

Thanks for the review … it is a bit pricey but I’ll check out the free version 1st.
Total scam. I purchased the original software at 19.99. The latest “update” took away many of the exercises and added a fee based subscription in order to access much of the content.
