Burn by Cara Loren 4+

I have been a BeachBody user for ~2 years but felt like I was plateauing in my exercise journey. I followed Cara Loren on IG and decided to give her app a try. The first few workouts I did, I legitimately thought she was crazy for creating such intense workouts. My body wasn’t used to not only working so hard, but pushing myself to the next level. I am almost finished with week 5 and can confidently say I have never felt stronger and as much of a bad**s in my life. When you’ve reached your peak, the app levels you up in weight and reps to keep you from plateauing. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the app itself has some tech bugs to work out, but I’m along for the ride and can’t wait to see where this app progresses!

Hi HFrombach,
We are so glad you gave us a try! These workouts are intense and might even make you feel crazy but your body will thank you for pushing yourself to your limits and to see results you might not have see otherwise. We definitely don't settle for mediocre, and we want you to reach the next level each time. Thanks so much for sticking with this app and for committing to yourself! We love this honest review!

I hate to be this way, but after trying both FORM and Madeline Moves, I can assure you this app is a waste of money. For $24 A MONTH you get only 6 workouts that you repeat for 12 weeks. Why would I continue to pay $24 a month for 4 months ($96) for the same 6 workouts? I understand Cara likes “consistency” but maybe if that’s the case, drop the price down… Also, the workouts in itself are not thought through. They seem like someone spent 5 min max putting together a workout that I could have made myself. My “challenge” consists of the same 6 workouts a week with each workout having 4 circuits. Each circuit has one random cardio exercise at the end of each set. I also would love to be able to look through each workout the day before without having to take 15 min to skip through each exercise and rest. Also a great idea would be to do normal days where there is different exercises each week so that if you didn’t want to do the same 6 workouts a week or just didn’t want to do a challenge, you could do that which would make the money more worth it. I just think that for $24 it could have had waayyy more thought put into it. It doesn’t seem like the app has even took into consideration all the constructive reviews it has gotten because they seem to have the same issues I have as well.

Hi Elena Brooke, thank you for leaving a review and providing us with your feedback! We currently have 3 programs that you can choose to follow for 12 weeks. We will be adding additional programs for more of a variety. These workout programs are built by Cara and she has seen her own success through consistency. We appreciate your suggestion regarding a preview of the workout beforehand, as well as including different variety of exercises for those not wanting to follow the 12 week program. We have sent your feedback to our development team to implement within the app. If you are still interested in giving the app a try, please send us an email at info@getburnapp.com!

I wish there was sound with the app that counted down the last 3 seconds of rest / of times exercise. I wish there was a preview page of what your workout would be so you know what equipment you need and are ready for the first exercise (these are all aspects of the SWEAT app which if consider the gold standard since it’s been around for so long and I’m surprised the creators didn’t take note of some of the more helpful features). I like that you can choose different levels of workout each day, I don’t like that all that means is that if you want in intense day you might be doing 100 reps of an exercise at one time or 3 min of burpees at one time rather than maybe adding a circuit, adding weight, or adding a few more challenging full body moves. I also like that each circuit does one standard movement, an ab movement and a HIIT movement I think this is unique to this all as most exercise programs focus on body part/circuit. I feel like it would be nicer to have more control of your schedule, instead of having it give you 7 days of workouts I should be allowed to assign what days I want to use the app - M, W, F for example to allow for other types of exercise other days of the week while still keeping you “on track” according to the app.

Hi there, thank you for leaving a review and providing us with your feedback! We appreciate all of your suggestions. These are perfect to send to our team to take into consideration for future app improvements and including more features within the app. We are glad that you like the options in different levels of your daily workout and the control of the standard movement. We hope you continue to feel the burn!
