BeatBurn Indoor Cycling Trainer - Low Impact Cross Training for Runners and Weight Loss App Reviews

They really listened!!!

I have awaiting a lolo spinning app for a while and here it is. I have many of the beatburn and easy apps and love them all. Great workouts, my own music tweaked to the intensity and a lovely voice coaching me on. More to come, heading to gym to spin with cycling app. Thanks!

iPad mini

I love this app!!

Great app

This app works great. The song limitation of 50 is incorrect. It can import more, but only 50 at a time. This app is obviously made to use on a stationary bike, not on a bike with a trainer (which is how I used it) so choosing gears for numeric intensity was a little challenging. I would give the app 5 stars if the developers made a setting option to input gear layout for those who use this on trainers. All in all, it worked great.

Love it!

This app has cranked my work out up and made it more fun at the same time. I highly recommend it!

Great app

This app made the time fly and helped me kick it up a notch. I loved it so much that I went and got the treadmill app too.

Suggestion

I love the cardio apps. One suggestion for updates would be, if possible, show the status on the lock screen while app is still active. I like to lock my phone while using it at the gym but sometimes forget the speed I should be going or I get distracted in the gym just as the trainer/app is switching to a new speed.

Great app!

Ive been using this app at my local gym on the stationary bikes. It makes a 30min workout fly by but still kicks my butt! I love how the music speeds up or slows down as the intervals pass by. I just love this app!! Highly recommended!!

mzik

The only thing is I wish it could run in the background and/or run while the screen is locked.

Help

Would be cooler if they made a 100% visual video tutorial because Im not content to press play and spin. I want to understand it better. Please help.

Needs Resistance Scale Adjustment Setting

I use the BeatBurn Elliptical trainer app and love it. This is the same concept, but this app is missing an important detail. There is no way to adjust the scale to the bike you are using, so when it says to "set your resistance to 9", it means nothing unless you know what scale it was designed for. The elliptical app lets you adjust the scale. I contacted Lolo and found out that the app was designed for scale of 1-20 while my bike has a 1-25 scale. I can still do a quick calculation in my head to figure out roughly where it should be, but for a paid app, I shouldnt have to do that. Fix that and its a 5-star app.

Great app

This app mimics those spin classes that never seem to occur when i can take them: my music, adjustable intensity and encouraging narrator.

No MPH measurement

Wish I could give a real review: this app measures speed by rpm only, and my bike does mph only. :-/ would be nice to be able to switch to a measurement I could use.

Not for wind resistant type bikes

I went ahead and gave it 5 stars even though I have a wind resistant bike and basically gave away $4. I wish in their "details" they had been a little more detailed about what type bike this app is designed for. If you have the type of bike that you control the resistance then this is a good app. The music it offers is a techno new age sound and it is easy to get into and melt away the minutes. You can also use your own or no music. The instructor is clearly understood. And the app is easily navigable and useable.

Almost there - still has a flaw to fix or a feature to add

First, I’m a huge fan of almost all of the Lolo Fitness apps….well worth the money. The BeatBurn series is sequence of progressively more difficult interval-based workouts. The Elliptical and Treadmill apps are very similar and very good. The most major flaw (in my opinion) is that you cannot customize your app to match the actual indoor cycling bike that you’re on. This app doesn’t work very well on indoor spinning bikes (which is more based on feel of the resistance, as opposed to an actual resistance or gear level). The BeatBurn Elliptical allows you to set the app to match the specific resistance range of the elliptical machine that you’re on. You can adjust this in the app settings….16 levels or 20 or 30 levels of resistance (depending on the brand name). You cannot do this within this cycling app. I believe the app is completely based on 20 levels of resistance (or gears). I love using this app on my Trek racing bike when I’m outside, but it doesn’t transfer very well when I’m using an indoor bike at the YMCA. Some indoor bikes have 16; others have 30 or so on. It would be nice if this BeatBurn Cycling app could match the same feature to adjust resistance levels as the same Elliptical app. This seems like a quick fix, so I hope the folks at Lolo Fitness can get this updated soon. The second major flaw (and this goes across all three BeatBurn cardio apps) is that I would like to see Lolo Fitness add in a longer, “tempo” workout every 4-5 workouts. Even on the 45-60min workout settings, most intervals are (at most) 2-3 minutes in length. I would like Lolo Fitness to throw in some longer, “slow burn” and tempo workouts where you have intervals that are 5-10 minutes in length on the longer 45 or 60 minute workouts. It’s very difficult switching gears on your outdoor bike (or indoor trainer) every minute or adjusting the treadmill every minute. It would be nice if a workout (about 1-2x a week) would incorporate a longer, steady-state workout where the intervals were 5-10 minutes in length….this would allow the user to find their tempo while in that longer interval (great for time trialing practice) or more like real-life road running. Just a couple of suggestions.

A definite must-have app

Having knee injuries and not able to run, I have taken to the stationary bikes at my gym. This app is amazing. It gives a serious workout, with the BeatBurn technology it had amazing music that helps you push through. If you are a indoor cyclist, this is a must have app!

Love it

I love these apps its motivating to use my own music and have beat drive me in my workout. Also love how tracks my success and increases intensity automatically each workout. I do wish it had an option to sync to my heart rate monitor and tack my progress more accurately. Great apps !
