Brute Force WOD Hack 2.6.13 + Redeem Codes

BLUF: The leaderboard, SandWOD, Challenges and Calendar parts of this app work well. Nice not clunky demos of exercises in the WODs (except hollow rocks—don’t be lazy and update that demo). The timer is garbage: auto start; stop the timer the prompt for completing the workout comes up; select yes or the timer starts again; go to submit the score and you have to cancel out to get back to the WOD. Due to this, I write out the WOD on my gym whiteboard and use my Interval Timer app/iPhone stopwatch/timer for the WOD. Not a big problem, more annoying than anything else.

I’d like to see some improvements to the community/social networking aspects of the app. While a button exists to share your WOD score on FB; it’s more for show.

All that said, this is still a highly effective app for incentivizing functional fitness at your own pace. I routinely use it and endorse its use by my clients.

I use this app almost every day and like how it is set up pretty much across the board. It’s easy to see the sandwod (workout), leaderboards and your workout history for reference. Everything about the app is really easy to use except the timer, which I find cumbersome and frustrating.
I wish it had its own section just like the “sandwod” or “leaderboard” page and could be formatted for a timer, countdown timer or a Tabata clock that you could set your own work and rest time on. This would give me the flexibility to make changes to workouts to work around injuries and still have a record of my work. It’d be nice to use the timer with my own music playing in the background and still have alerts play over my music.
Everything else about the app earns 5 stars but that timer knocks it down 1 for me.

My husband and I use this app daily and as far as the workouts and tracking ability it works well. My biggest complaint with it is the timer.
1) why does the timer start randomly when I’m just trying to look at the workout? If I look at it once then go out then come back to it, the timer automatically starts and I have to go they Thai whole abort workout process to start it over. Timer should not start until I hit the button for it to start
2) can you ad some functionality into the timer??? AMRAP/TABATA/EMOM with cues and hat fit the workouts. I spend a lot of time going to an external app for the appropriate timer function and then have to come back to brute force app and just let the timer run to enter the correct score. If you exit the Bf app it stops the timer which means you can’t listen to music or use outside timers.
Fix those two issues and you get 5 stars for sure

I’ve been using this bag for about a year and a half and I absolutely love it! For training I only use this bag and jiu-jitsu. Also, I get all of my workouts from the sandWODs on this app. I appreciate being able to look through multiple workouts in the ‘history’ section. My only complaint is that after each workout it asks you to save your workout time. It even has a section for notes where I put the weight used or anything else I want to make note of. You can also mark the workout as a ‘favorite.’ However, there’s no convenient way to go back and view my workouts. I can’t see my notes at all. I really want to give the app 5 stars because I love the bag so much but I just can’t until those things are resolved.

Really good app, enjoy the way the exercise, posture, and reps are shown - as well as delineation between the warm up, the WOD, etc. My only real complaints are two things. The timer needs to be completely optional, and definitely not an annoying auto start. Secondly, when I open the app to check out the next exercise, it stops my music, which is incredibly irritating and completely counterproductive for me. Love my Brute Force sandbag, let’s fix this app. Fix these bugs and it will definitely be five stars from me!

I’ve used brute force for a few years now, and every time I get a new phone it’s a nightmare logging back in. I’ve tried logging in through both my normal emails to no avail, I’ve tried resetting my password and received no email, I’ve tried logging in on Facebook and it says it’s not allowed. I understand that it’s helpful to have an account tied to a leaderboard, but I just wanna see the workouts, why do I need an account at all?!

Speaking of just seeing the workouts, anytime I close the phone when a workout is opened, it auto starts the timer when I open it back up, which is fine. However, when I exit it doesn’t let me exit unless I stop the workout, view the workout summary, and exit to the menu. It's unnecessary clicks and it’s beyond frustrating in the middle of a workout.

Love the revamped app! The daily Sandbag WODs are clear and concise while a quick peek in the Movement Library helps with any movement questions. Being able to add notes to or bookmark a WOD is a bonus. The workouts are not the same every day and can be easily modified to whatever level you need them to be at. I don’t even need a separate app for Meditation!

I love using the Brute Force sandbags with the app workouts. Phenomenal quality.

I downloaded this app after I bought the scout bag and kettlebells and use it daily! It’s nice to just follow along and not have to think about what workout to do. They have dailyWODs and multi week series workouts which rad. And best part you literally can save so much money just getting the bag and bells rather than a whole gym equipment set up. Highly recommend.

Great app and easy to use! Super helpful in doing your workout and going through an exercise you don’t know. Also appreciate the fact that they do not collect any data on you or your device for marketing or ANY other reason! Can’t say that about many of the apps out there. Way too many app developers overreach. Thank you, Brute Force!

I ordered a t-shirt and when I got it, it looked like someone had accidentally stapled it because it had two small holes just below the neck. I contacted BruteForce about it through the app. They emailed me back that day! No hassle, they sent me another one to replace it within the week. All of this during the pandemic. Great job! Great customer service! Quality shirt! I high recommend them. Thank you BruteForce!
