Gymshark Training and Fitness Reviews

by DeePee1

The reason I am giving this 3 stars is because there are some key flaws GymsharkTrainingandFitness could work on. GymsharkTrainingandFitness gives you the luxury of creating an exercise program to your strengths. What needs work in this part is that it is missing some pretty basic exercises that everyone has heard of. It is missing an edit too where you can change the reps to seconds, for example, knee to chest exercise can be done as a stretch instead of reps to relieve back problems. Another problem would be actually starting the exercise program. It tells you to start a warm up without a simple warm up program to follow or create. Then you have to simple input the reps you do in between each exercise. Then it tells you there's a cool down with no simple cool down exercises or stretches for you to follow. If they were to fix these, GymsharkTrainingandFitness would be perfect.

First off I wanna start by saying I gave this a 3 star review not because it’s a bad app but instead because it’s unfinished IMO. This is the first one I’ve seen where you can easily make circuits, super sets and even giant sets HOWEVER you can’t add drop sets or even add notes or the workouts as you create them. You can add the notes during the workout and at the end but not before and to me that’s crucial because I make my workouts in advance and so if I’m thinking of something then chances of me remembering when I’m doing the workout are slim to none. The workout index is fairly decent however their are a lot things still not added to it which complicates making custom workouts. If there was a feature where you could make your own exercise and categorize it by muscle group that would be nice. Overall it’s very simple app to use and I recommend it still.

I felt the need to review GymsharkTrainingandFitness as I have on many other exercise apps and I have to say... I personally feel GymsharkTrainingandFitness is going to be one to pull ahead of the others once it gets up and going. GymsharkTrainingandFitness is still considered a baby and in the process of becoming something great but I already recommend it to friends. I love the workouts given by each gymshark athlete and how you can build your own custom workouts. GymsharkTrainingandFitness gives you freedom to create your own workout or follow along and that’s awesome. I love that it’s not 30$ a month and is extremely affordable for those of us in school and still trying to make a living while trying to maintain our exercise goals as well! I gave 4 stars only due to the fact like I said above, GymsharkTrainingandFitness is still developing and I would love to see some improvements like being able to track on my Apple Watch since that’s what I use in all my workouts and I’ve never been one to carry my phone around the gym. I am excited to see where GymsharkTrainingandFitness goes and what they have in store for us!

I love GymsharkTrainingandFitness because it’s helped me get back into lifting, and I really feel that I’m being shown the proper form and way to execute moves. The only thing that I don’t like about GymsharkTrainingandFitness is the fact that I can’t favorite a work out to go back and do it later. By the time I go and try to do it later, I don’t remember where I found it or what it was called. Most of the time when I am searching through GymsharkTrainingandFitness it is not when I am training, so I would love if there was a way to save workouts for later. If there is, someone please let me know because clearly I am blind lol.

I’m loving everything about GymsharkTrainingandFitness so far. To keep improving it I would love for there to be a place to keep track of body measurements to how that progresses and changes with my workouts. Also I wish when adding an exercise to the library I could add a description or explanation of the exercise and that I could also change the details of the exercise after it is created. Finally I wish there was a way to see what all muscle groups I have hit in the week based on the exercises logged to see if I missed something or just for a general overview. Loving GymsharkTrainingandFitness and can’t wait to see what y’all do next!

First off, I fell in love with Gymshark brand last year and even more so when Lulia on Instagram became one of their athletes (she’s amazing) so I jumped at being part of GymsharkTrainingandFitness . I love being able to search a wide variety of exercises and a lot that can be done at home or gym ones can be modified for at home. You can follow their current athletes workouts or make your own. I think my fav part of GymsharkTrainingandFitness though is how easy it is when you start a workout to go through it with how many sets/reps to your liking, how much weight being used etc. it’s just a breeze and makes keeping track of what I’m doing so much easier than texting it on the iPhone notepad 🙄 thank you Gymshark! But I gave it one less star because I’d like to see more athletes and over time maybe some other variations of workouts otherwise it may get dull on that part of it.

I love GymsharkTrainingandFitness I’ve been using it for a few months. It’s super popular around my friend group and I’m in high school so it’s popular with teens which is good but one thing I really wish this had that would make it insanely good is a feature that orders your custom workout in the most efficient way, like maybe it would ask what your goal is. For example gaining mass or losing fat, and it would put your chosen exercises in the best order for what you want. But other than that GymsharkTrainingandFitness is great I completely recommend getting it it’s awesome because it does have a great personal trainer option but even for free it’s useful if you know a little about working out.

by Gamecock2014

I absolutely love GymsharkTrainingandFitness. I use it for every workout and have since GymsharkTrainingandFitness started a couple months back. I love the video tutorials, workout library, ability to add exercises, along with all the other amazing features. I think where GymsharkTrainingandFitness could be improved is in the social aspect as well as the tracking progress. I wish there was an ability to add friends through GymsharkTrainingandFitness , so then you have the flexibility to share and send workouts to friends to challenge them to your workouts. There is a feature currently similar, but you can't share your workout with the reps and weights you hit without taking a bunch of screenshots. It would nice just to simply share to your gym buddies via GymsharkTrainingandFitness . It would also be cool to have a graph of progress made over time by different exercises. Currently it only promotes max in 3 major lifts (squat bench and deadlift) having a more comprehensive and detailed list would motivate gym goers even more! Love GymsharkTrainingandFitness and can't wait to see all the improvements through the future

So far I love GymsharkTrainingandFitness ! Everything is great. The only thing I was wondering that you could add is something to make tracking maybe a little more faster and easier ? What I was thinking is. If you do chest day and you track it then the following week, you did chest day again but no increase in weight or reps or sets. I would like to see a function to just click what you logged in the past and just be able to log it again if you did nothing different. If that makes sense? That way, you don’t have to sit there and put in all the reps and sets manually if it was the same workout.

I started using the Gym Shark fitness app a few months back when I was able to still go to the gym. It wasn’t until I began my home workouts that I really had a chance to explore all the features and workouts. Now, I recommend GymsharkTrainingandFitness to all my friends and family who are also working out at home. The Gym Shark coaches are amazing and the workouts leave you with an amazing burn. There are different levels depending on where your fitness level is so you can start with beginner workouts and move up from there. I really like the fact you can search the different workout by body part or even by the coach. You can create your own workout plan by selecting different options and it allows you to track your progress as you go with sets and lbs so I no longer had to use by “notes app” to keep track. In my opinion, this is an amazing fitness app with endless fitness opportunities.

It’s really great to see what some of Gymshark’s athletes are doing and it helps set a template for creating your own workouts! Plus a lot of workouts have videos so if you are just starting up and are unsure on how to do a workout you are given an example on how to do the workout correctly. The only room for review that I see as needed is that when you remove workouts from your plan during a workout they seem to reappear. Another thing that would be cool to see is a social element so that we are able to encourage, inspire and be inspired by what our peers in the industry are doing. Thanks!

by Gary Reviews

I love GymsharkTrainingandFitness!!! There are tons of different workouts with all different kinds of difficulties and equipment availability. You are able to record your reps and weight for exercices so when you do it next time you’ll know what you did last time. I only have one thing I dislike about it. I hate that you can’t save/star/favorite workouts or plans! I have to search the workout every time I wanna do it, which is annoying! If you added a feature of being able to save/star/favorite workouts/plans GymsharkTrainingandFitness would be perfect!

by VL1.0

I’ve been searching for a workout app that doesn’t require you to buy a subscription in order to fully utilize their workouts. As far as I know GymsharkTrainingandFitness is just that. Free workouts, with trainers that give you options on how long the workouts are, what section of body you want to workout, body weight exercises, dumbbells, HIIT workouts, etc. I keep feeling like it’s too good to be true. I would be very disappointed if a month later I find out I can’t use GymsharkTrainingandFitness anymore unless I pay a fee. Fingers crossed.

GymsharkTrainingandFitness is amazing! It helps you organize and track all of your workouts. I love how you can tweak it to fit your needs and pick the movements you like. There are so many options and such a good variety. It would be nice to be able to do workouts with other friends on GymsharkTrainingandFitness too so I’m hoping to see that incorporated in the future. GymsharkTrainingandFitness is perfect for all fitness lovers beginner through advanced. The workouts are explained in detail, there is a timer and a rest timer. It’s completely customizable. From leggings and gym fits to the welcoming community to the training app, Gymshark is where it’s at!!!! Literally amazing !!!🦈🦈 🦈🦈

by Jsaenz

These workouts are incredible. I’m running the Big Lad program and have to say it’s my favorite program in a long time. Overall great app but missing a few key features: 1. Need alternatives for workouts. Not everyone has access to the machines needed and not everyone can do a pull up. Adding in the ability to substitute movements would be great. 2. Intervention with Apple fitness and health is lacking. These are tools I find useful for motivation and accountability and it would be great to see my workouts in GymsharkTrainingandFitness close those circles. Out side of that this is hands down the best programming I’ve found in a while.

So after trying multiple different workout apps to get the right routine for me, not being in a gym in many years I suffer with form just like a lot of people. GymsharkTrainingandFitness so far is AMAZING! I have been going through it for at least 2 hours now & Is more detailed and the sample videos are very informative! But best of all when you download GymsharkTrainingandFitness , you’re not hit with the shady “purchase the premium” alert after you put all your info in! Amazing app from people that are not money hungry like other people, and you can tell they actually want to help people. I will be using GymsharkTrainingandFitness from here on out! Thank you GymShark 💪💪💪

by HopeSantos

GymsharkTrainingandFitness is so lovely! When I don’t know what to do at the gym or feeling unmotivated I will open GymsharkTrainingandFitness and instantly feel motivated and ready to workout with a new workout plan. I love that GymsharkTrainingandFitness has workout plans to choose from (I really enjoyed the Whitney Simmons one) or I can create my own workout plan which is amazing because I love being creative and making my own workout routine. I also love that is has at home workouts which came really handy when I was snowed in the other and couldn’t make it to the gym i just opened GymsharkTrainingandFitness and found a booty burning at home workout🙌🏼 thank you gymshark for creating a great app that can fit in anyone lifestyle 🤍

Recently moved and decided to join a gym for the first time in my life and as such I have no idea what I am doing. I love GymsharkTrainingandFitness mostly for its library of exercises that use all of the various gym equipment. The short videos showing exactly what to use and how to do the moves is extremely helpful for people like myself that are just starting to go to the gym. I also like being able to create your own work out and the fact that you can edit them if they just aren’t working for you(I found myself needing to adjust the equipment between exercises when I tried to do the workout in the original order that I had so I shuffled them around to make the flow better).

by Teachmy5

This is the best workout app available! There are routines for at home, in the gym, outside, or wherever you are. The workouts range from beginner to advanced. They have a huge variety of length of training videos. And my favorite part of GymsharkTrainingandFitness is that it is divided into training sections. So if you are looking for a leg training session, core routine, arm building exercises, it's all easy to find, the instructors are fantastic, motivating, and always positive! They offer modifications, there's timers to let you know how long you've gone and how much time is left, and they talk about how to avoid injuries. There are exercises for high intensity, strength training, cardio, really, anything you want can be found on GymsharkTrainingandFitness. I recommend it 100%!

I love Gym Shark and don’t want to delete GymsharkTrainingandFitness but y’all need home style based workouts! If someone had access to a decent gym GymsharkTrainingandFitness will work great. However, I’m working out in an apartment smaller gym. I would get a membership but I already have a membership at a CrossFit gym. I want a fitness app to use for days I either can’t make CrossFit and or just want to work out an extra day or so. I was looking for 2, 3 day plans for this week and they include a lot of bar bell and rope style work outs. Things I don’t have access to without my CrossFit gym. Keep the workouts that are already on here but add more workouts that require just basic bar bells or majority no equipment! Think it’ll grow your user base too, more people will want to use GymsharkTrainingandFitness and it won’t be for just my benefit. Don’t make me delete GymsharkTrainingandFitness. Gym Shark! LoL

I was really excited about GymsharkTrainingandFitness and i guess i had high hopes for it. First of all the plans are great; i like how it also breaks down your workouts by specific muscle groups, for example instead of just legs, you have the option to look up quads, glutes, hamstrings. That’s wonderful. What i am very annoyed is unlike other apps such as Strong it does not connect to your health app, activity app let alone your Apple Watch alone. This is a big no-no since while I’m at the gym i use my watch as a tracker and i love my health app for keeping track of calories, cardio and so on. Hopefully this will change otherwise I’m just going back to my Strong app.

One of my biggest issues is the way 1 rep maxes are calculated in GymsharkTrainingandFitness . If I do a set of 315x8, GymsharkTrainingandFitness says that my max for that lift is 315. A system should be implemented that calculates 1 rep maxes based on reps, the way that the JEFIT app does. JEFIT even congratulates you when you hit a new PR, for example if my personal best is a set of 315 for 8 reps, and one day I complete 315 for a set of 10, JEFIT then calculates my new 1 rep max, and congratulates me on the new pr. I think that would be a perfect addition, and is the only thing keeping me from using the Gymshark app as my primary workout tracker.

by Crawlivd

GymsharkTrainingandFitness is pretty great when it comes to building and maintaining your own exercises. You can interface and add workouts that are and aren’t on the premade list, my only issue is that it’s hard to move around work outs after their added during the creation of a new work out.

How they did workouts was also cool. You can put how much you actually did during your circuit or set.

by Beast_Brad

The only reason GymsharkTrainingandFitness didn’t get 5 stars from me is because before I got GymsharkTrainingandFitness I would use a self made table on apple notes. My table allowed me to quickly see what weight I did last week for each exercise because it was in the row above. However GymsharkTrainingandFitness does not yet support this kind of feature during your workout, but I know they are constantly working towards new features for GymsharkTrainingandFitness and will add something similar eventually. Great community to be a part of!

by Bwtowne

Just started using this about two weeks ago and I absolutely love it. The workouts by the coaches are great and the way it tracks your progress is great as well. However, I would like it if I didn’t have to find the plan I’m on every time. Unless I’m not finding a way to do this, it does become an annoyance going through the plans to pick the one I’m currently on. Also, it would be nice if it told you what week you were on in a 6 week plan! Just tracking workouts better would make this 5 stars. Still, easily worth the price!

by GuyWithTower

So far GymsharkTrainingandFitness is great. I like the ability to either follow or create your own workouts/workout plans. Also, it has a pretty impressive selection of workouts and videos to demonstrate how to perform the workout, which I really enjoy. I do wish that they had some traditional cardio options to help me round out my routine within GymsharkTrainingandFitness . For now I just do cardio and can’t log my runs, biking, or swimming. In my opinion, adding some of these traditional cardio options would complete the workout/plan feature.

Overall, great app.

I was so excited for Whitney Simmons to have a bunch of workouts in one place! Love her workouts and the workouts she put up on GymsharkTrainingandFitness ! Gymshark definitely makes it a lot easier to track the workout and has a timer for in between sets! Love it. I only give it 4 starts because some of the workouts say ‘s’ in them but doesn’t say what the second exercise is within that exercise

by Prhrudrj

Absolutely a great app! Would highly recommend...something that might be added to make it even better is maybe putting a weight tracker also..maybe a place to input your weight, body mass, even body measurements along with the date to keep better track of your body as it transforms...maybe even a video on how to properly measure different sections of the body the right way along with the body tracker...just a suggestion but it’s a great app regardless!!

by Bdmeri

Always looking for easier ways to track my workouts. This is so much better than anything else I’ve used. Huge kudos to gymshark for creating something that benefits not only experienced weightlifters but those who are also just starting out. GymsharkTrainingandFitness has helped my workouts become more efficient, safer (the videos are a good reminder of proper form), and more fun. Proud of gymshark for releasing something that helps people live healthier and happier lives :)

by Mariagalaviz

i love GymsharkTrainingandFitness so much, I wanted to find a good app that can help me understand what exercises focus on which part of the body. The custom plans are categorized so easy, and it gives video samples and instructions, which I love. for people who want to look into starting a routine or simply want to start working out, but don’t know where to start, I would definitely recommend GymsharkTrainingandFitness. there are so many positives about GymsharkTrainingandFitness.

by BbyGains

I love GymsharkTrainingandFitness so much! Through the whole beta launch I loved it! Some days I didn’t know what to workout or didn’t really want to and it was super easy to just go into GymsharkTrainingandFitness choose and athlete and use the workout plan provided! It’s helped me track how much stronger I’ve gotten and it’s kept me going! I would recommend GymsharkTrainingandFitness to anyone who is just starting to workout, it won’t disappoint you!
