Studio Bloom Lover
GBI absolutely love this app I absolutely love this app. I started using it during my first pregnancy and I’m still a member 4 years later during my 3rd pregnancy. I have tried other subscription apps and this one is hands down the most thorough and the coaches and workouts are amazing. Not only can I count on this app to keep me feeling strong during my pregnancy but I have never felt stronger after pregnancy. Their core and pelvic floor programs are amazing and my pelvic floor PT also loves this app. You can’t go wrong with Studio Bloom. I’m so grateful I found this app during my first pregnancy.

GBRedundant Routines Am 34 weeks pregnant and have been doing prenatal exercises using the Bloom Method for about a month now. So far the routines are pretty repetitive - each routine appears to be primarily squats and lunges. Gets kind of redundant and boring after awhile. It's also disappointing that many of the videos do not include a warm up or cool down. Also, I wish there were more videos that were 30 minutes. Many are either too short (20 minutes or less) or too long (45 minutes).

AUDO NOT PURCHASE It is incredibly glitchy and a waste of money. What’s worse is that when you can waste so much money they take it further and they then waste your time. Dealing with the customer service team has been incredibly painful. As a ‘team of Mamas’ they are completely unempathetic to other mothers, incompetent and have difficulty understanding basic things (have dealt with Jaclyn and also Kristen). Please save your money, time and sanity and DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP. There are so many other great options out there so don’t even give this a go.

GBI stopped using the app because I kept… I stopped using the app because I kept injuring my left hip while doing the workouts. Eventually switched to belly dance workouts instead. I haven't used the app in 7+ months (baby's age). I thought I had cancelled my subscription, but recently found a $240 charge on my card. When I requested a refund, they refused. Reply to "Reply from The Bloom Method": - There was no reminder email before the charge. In fact, I was charged $240 for a $120 subscription, without warning or explanation. When I asked for a refund, you refused. - The phrasing of your entire reply is placing blame on the customer. I hope you'll eventually see that this is not a good business practice. - I started with the "start here" program that was recommended by your founder when I asked in the forum. There was no warm-up in this program. It was a difficult program from the start. I'm a ballet dancer from an early age, and a relatively fit person. Whether you can take this feedback to improve your business, or continue to blame your customers is up to you. - It is extremely interesting that after your customer tells you they've injured themselves while doing your workouts, your response is to criticize their choice of workout that they felt more comfortable with.

GBUnauthorized Auto Renewal - Don't Subscribe Don't subscribe. As others have written, there's an issue with Bloom's email system, which does not notify of auto-renewal & will charge you without notice. I was unable to log into my account for months due to a technical issue & have now been charged for a second year of a service I don't use without my consent. For a platform with a bad user experience that's difficult to navigate, it's simply not worth it. Even when you're not being charged hundreds of dollars without consent
