YMCA of Greater Rochester Hack 3.1 + Redeem Codes

It would be nice to have the card available on the Apple Watch

I have been wanting to get in better condition for years since my cancer treatment. Now that I have joined the Y and am using the equipment and tools ( via the app), I am coming along nicely. With my Fitbit linked to the app, I am very encouraged with my progress. The app shows my egym workouts plus any other activities I undertake. It is so motivating to have real time results show up. The best is moving up the progress levels and also seeing my strength and bio age stats improve! Psyched to get to a place of feeling more energetic and youthful so I can keep up with my grandkids!!

The only reason I used the old app was to look at the class schedules for the different branches and so I didn’t have to carry a key tag. When setting up the app, you are forced to pick a “home” branch. I have not found a way to easily switch between locations. In the old app, you could switch locations easily within Schedules. One star rating only because the barcode feature is still available

The old app version was much quicker and easier to navigate. I liked being able to search the schedule for specific classes and/or instructors and this app version does not allow that. I do like how this schedule adjusts to the time of day you are searching so you don’t have to scroll through all the morning activities if you are searching during the afternoon.

The premise of the app is good. However, it needs a lot of work. First, once you choose a location, you cannot access the other area Y’s for their schedules. Which brings me to the second problem: the schedules aren’t correct. It would help if the app could be updated. The third problem is the check-in barcode doesn’t work.

I find the new app very cumbersome to use. I had an issue and contacted Tech Support. At first they suggested a review “frequently asked questions”. I had to advise them that the app does not have a “frequently asked questions” section. With some persistence I was able to get my password changed to a personalized one.

The old app was much easier to navigate. The group exercise schedule was easier to read, now it is combined with all other activities that I do not care about. It takes much more time to find classes. It’s actually pretty annoying and I’m gonna go back to taking the printed schedule they put out at the location.

The old app allowed easy switching between locations. It also allowed adding a class to my calendar. I really miss these features.

The egym does not synch with this app even though it is written by them

Could not create an acct. tried twice with 2 emails and passwords. Frustrating!
