First review in the App Store I ever write, but I think in the end it may help franchisees if actual users speak their mind on the change. Overall, a much less streamlined experience, and 100% a downgrade from not only a look and feel perspective, but also from ease of use/user experience. There’s many quirks that I’m sure will be addressed in future updates (my guest pass being the default option when I book rather than my actual membership), but a lot of improvements will have to be made to match the user friendliness of the prior app. Hope things are ultimately resolved. App updates should be done to reduce friction with businesses, not increase it.
What happened??!Someone in corporate made a terrible decision to switch app platforms and change to an app that - at least from a users view - didn’t need work. The old one was intuitive, responsive, and simple. This one introduces friction, removes functionality and is objectively worse by a mile. On top of that, there was zero change management or notification about the switch…really really poor. That said, after 10+ years of struggling to stay consistent, Sweat 440 has me believing again. I just passed my hundredth class. I wake up, excited to work out and the vibe in my Florida location, the trainers, and my fellow gym goers are everything I need from a workout. I highly recommend the brand but this app has to go.
The new Sweat440 app is a mess. It’s confusing, hard to book with, full of glitches, and feels completely untested. Nothing about it reflects the clean, consistent, high-energy brand that Sweat440 is known for. Instead, it creates friction at every step and genuinely makes you not want to take a class. What’s worse is that it’s clear corporate didn’t prioritize the user experience — or the franchisees who rely on a smooth booking system to keep their studios full. This rollout feels rushed, poorly designed, and out of touch with what members actually need. Great workouts, terrible app. Corporate needs to fix this fast, for both the users and the studios depending on them.
