Grokker, Inc.Reviews of grokker.com

Don't trust this company. Have heard so many issues and problems associated with it.

This is a review for the site Grokker.com which contains exercise videos. I have a monthly subscription and tried a variety of videos, including yoga, HIIT, weights, and barre. There are a lot of really good videos, and I think they are better than the free videos online, e.g. Blogilates. In my opinion the range and quality of exercise videos mean it provides good value for money at $14.99 month. They also have exercise programs, which provide a suggested calendar of videos in a series. The main problems with grokker.com is the software bugs. The software does not always accurately record what videos you have done, so you may do all 6 weekly videos for a program and it records only 4 and then displays patronising messages about your allegedly slow progress (e.g. "slow and steady wins the race"). At other times it records you as completing videos you have not done, and this week is showing me as completing videos on dates that are two and three days into the future, i.e. it thinks I have a time machine in which I have already completed future workouts! I have reported these bugs to customer service staff, but they seem unable or unwilling to correct the errors. So, if you are content to pay for good videos and unreliable, buggy software then it is a good site.
