If you have access to a gym with multiple weight options - dumbbells, kettle bells, medicine balls, all different weights - then this app is probably pretty good. But if you have limited equipment at home, then you are severely limited. Also, it seems strangely calibrated. I’m a female, and while I can do a few pushups, the expectation of this app is that I’m a marine. But, ask me to do 5 whole squats? Ok... I can do 50. There’s no customization on skill or strength level. I did this for 6 weeks and thought maybe it would get better, but nope. Also, I got the app to improve my running. I know I didn’t give it a ton of time, but there’s no explanation of what these exercises do to help you. Finally, the workouts take a lot of time. It’s probably 40-60 minutes, if you skip the breaks, like I would. After running an hour, I’d skip the warmup, but it’s still a big time commitment to fit this in on top of a run. Without an explanation of the program, the intention or impact, I don’t know the point. I feel like I can do specific targeted exercises in far less time and achieve the same or better results.

I used the app last week M/W/F and it worked well, smooth for the most part the occasional slow glitch. Today was my fourth workout and it was glitchy, freezing, and was so slow. Wouldn’t let me replace my workouts where I would click replace this movement and then it would highlight but wouldn’t do anything. Then, I went through the rest of the workout and clicked finish. It didn’t display my workout highlights. Also, didn’t ask pre workout questions. Only reason I didn’t uninstall the app is I went through the trouble to subscribe for the app. Frustrating when your trying to workout and stay on a flow and you have to be an IT expert to fix it simultaneously. I’m going to keep trying it. Maybe it was due to having a 46% battery making my phone run slow. But, not sure. Even still a couple hours later, my workout still hasn’t saved it resets to about halfway through. Please fix cause I love the concept and the way it tells you what to do. Thanks!!

I've tried this app for 2 weeks already and this app has been put together very well. However, for me it takes over an hour to finish the suggested work out of the day. And that's including that I don't make use of the suggested rest periods, meaning I rarely rest. Using this app at the gym can also be a little tricky. It suggests any given exercise, but keeps changing the weight depending on how you respond to the previous set. That means you find yourself switching weights a lot, and that makes you loose time, assuming someone else is not using the suggested weight. Another thing is that in any given exercise, if the app increases the weight for the next set it does so in 5 lbs increments total. Example: Exercise X with dumbells, total weight for set 1 is 50 lbs, next set would be 55 lbs. I have yet to find a dumbbell weighing 27.5 lbs.
