Home Fitness for Weight Loss Reviews

HomeFitness is super helpful to me personally because I’m fairly new to working out. I’ve always had trouble with my weight, but I don’t like gyms because I feel like I’m being constantly judged and home workouts are hard because I don’t know how to do a lot of them. But with HomeFitness theres instructional videos with each workout that explain clearly how to do each ones. They even teach you how to breath while doing the workouts. The only recommendation I have is that there should be warm ups and cooling down videos as well. Stretching is a very important part of working out so you don’t injure yourself, but if you’re like me and not really sure what stretches to do and how to do them it can be difficult and you get sore really fast. Also maybe throw in some healthy recipes somewhere because weight loss isn’t just about being active, it’s eating healthy too and most people don’t know how to cook healthy. I highly recommend HomeFitness to anyone that is new to this whole workout thing and to anyone who isn’t but just needs help staying on track!

I really like HomeFitness and plan to continue to use it. The exercises are good, and clearly explained and demonstrated (although it would be nice to see a little more diversity in their videos). But like other reviewers, I think they really need to add the ability to create your own workouts, or at least give you more flexibility in specifying what kind of workouts you want. This is not my only exercise- I have a regular two mile walking route, I workout with free weights regularly, I hike with my spouse on the weekends- I don’t need for my Verve workouts to get more and more difficult. I just need some structure so I don’t neglect my abs. I’ve tried to use the “feedback” at the end of each workout to tell them I don’t want the routines to get harder and harder, but so far it’s not working. I like having three 6-minute routines. I don’t want to work my way up to four 10-minute routines. I don’t have time for that. So, good work, developers, on creating a simple to use, engaging fitness app but please, PLEASE add better customization options.

I started off loving HomeFitness. I paid for the subscription fee, hoping it would open up more customization options. It let me customize my trouble zone and the days I planned to work out, but that was it. I went through the first 60 day challenge, thinking it would unlock either a more difficult challenge or let me plan my own workouts from their bank of options, but instead it started me from the beginning. I went from 20 minute workouts back down to 5 minutes. This did not flow with my fitness goals at all.

I emailed the support team to see if I was missing something, and to give my feedback if what I was seeing was correct. It took 33 days to receive a response. Over a month. And in that response they told me what I already knew. I could not plan my workouts. I could repeat the same workout as many times in a day as I wanted. I could skip ahead and do future workouts.

That isn’t the point. I paid a subscription for a fitness app that would help me grow and in order to actually benefit from it, I have to work around the built in options. That is so not intuitive. Still looking for a solid fitness app.

I’ve been using HomeFitness for three weeks in addition to my regular running routine. I was hoping to lose a few pounds before an event I’ve got in a couple months. I’ve been almost perfect in keeping up with the workouts and have only had to skip a couple of days, because HomeFitness is so enjoyable that it makes it easy to pop it on my phone and crank out a workout or three before I even get ready in the morning. The only problem is, after three solid weeks, I haven’t lost a single pound. In fact, my weight has never been steadier in my life (and not in a good way).

All I can think is maybe the workouts aren’t long enough to burn enough extra calories. I find myself tacking on an extra round or two when I feel like my day’s workout has been too easy, so I think the workouts in general are just too short and easy. I’ll keep using HomeFitness since I paid for it and I really do enjoy it, but I’m not sure I’ll keep up the subscription since it doesn’t seem to actually help me lose weight.

So I am new to the whole healthy living thing! I downloaded HomeFitness a while back and used it for a few days and quit but I really shouldn’t have. I like the water tracker so much! I’m a week I have gone from drinking barely any water to drinking 113 oz of water a day! I feel really good! The workouts are pretty nice. They start you off with short workouts and I can see that I’m the future they get much longer. I wish that HomeFitness had some way to track calories and also have a diet plan. Maybe another app could do this but heck id pay an extra 5 dollars a month for that feature in the current app! I hope that I can reach my goals with HomeFitness and I’m sure I can! I’d love to hear back from development on the suggestion of the diet plan/ calorie tracker! Thank you guys so much for a wonderful app!!

So I downloaded and subscribed to HomeFitness because I liked the idea of several micro-workouts throughout the day. Having a newborn and working full time makes it difficult to make time for a work-out. HomeFitness has helped me keep it up for several weeks now- which is longer than I’ve been able to keep anything up for a while. My biggest complaint is the limited personalization of the workouts. Having just had a baby via cesarean, there are a lot of workouts I can’t do. I am ready to re-tone my body and regain strength but I have to skip a lot of the exercises. I would get a lot more out of my premium subscription if there were ab-toning exercises for new moms or, for that matter, people who have arthritic joints or knee injuries, etc. In the profile-building section there should be a place where people can identify their areas of weakness where the workouts need to focus on, but also need to go easy on. If that makes sense.

I wanted to wait a bit before uploading a review but after having HomeFitness for a little over 2 months I’m happy to say that I LOVE IT !
I’ve tried a couple of different apps before and they haven’t motivated me as much as this one does!! Not only is the layout so simple and cute but it has reminders and if you happen to miss a workout it tailors it to accommodate that missed day. I like how it keeps daily weight checks because over time the difference starts to show and it just motivated me to continue. The water feature works great and I am just so amazed by how great and easy HomeFitness is. Everyone is different and there are a ton of fitness apps out there but this one has to be THE BEST and I’ve tried lots
Also, HomeFitness is perfect for me because I’m a workaholic and work long hours so it’s easy to fit this in my schedule!! So for you busy people, this is great because HomeFitness allows you to choose the option of multiple workouts a day or not which is really flexible and helpful

I started in December wanting to tone up ( start weight 125 )
And now currently weigh 108 and my arms and abs are a little toned ( not quite there but almost !! )

Thank you for HomeFitness !!

I LOVE HomeFitness. When I started, I knew that I wanted to make a lifestyle change & not a temporary change. I also knew that it would be hard.

Depressed, seriously overweight, out of shape, in constant pain, difficulty breathing and getting dressed. I had a negative mindset and I was unmotivated but I saw the ad for HomeFitness on Social Media and immediately knew that it was something I could do.

I needed a way to start. I knew that once I began to do some sort of exercise, ANY sort of exercise, it would help me to move toward my goals.

HomeFitness has everything I need. Easy to follow instructions, simple and effective exercises, ability to target problem areas, tracking for water intake. It also keeps me on track to meet my goals with positive and gentle reminders that make me WANT to incorporate exercise into my everyday routine.

Since starting HomeFitness, I have lost 10 lbs, I exercise on most days, my overall well-being improved, and I’ve DOUBLED my daily exercise time. For me, that is very exciting. It means that I am, finally, on my way to reaching my goals.

10 lbs a month. I can’t thank you enough. This is what I’ve needed in my life for years. ***Hugs and Happy tears***

I’m only 6 days in using HomeFitness, and I’m in love. The price is totally worth it, and so much more. I’ve tried many other apps, but none has stuck like this one. I love the layout, it comes packed with tons of knowledge, there are instructional videos that play along with your timed workouts, you can customize so much in your fitness profile, you can track your water intake, and much more. I love the tracking water section of HomeFitness !! You don’t realize how tough it is to hit your daily goal until you are tracking it. Every day I try a little harder, it’s become a competition with myself. If you’re out of shape like I am, don’t be discouraged, try HomeFitness. It’s a great place to start, and it keeps me coming back for more.

I have fibromyalgia and my doctor said it’s best to exercise a little bit every day to help with pain and stay stretched and limber. HomeFitness is the perfect exercise regime for me I’m already 42% done and I feel amazing! And it shows you step by step videos and you can add music it’s awesome even my kids love to do it with me! It’s so simple to use and it t an track your meals and water. And you choose how many days you want to work out and each day you have an amazing variety of exercises. Cardio, tone zones and full body! It gives me a great workout in a little amount of time! I 100% recommend HomeFitness to anyone trying to get into a routine and would love for it to be easy!

HomeFitness was very helpful in getting up and moving again. I haven’t worked in a very long time and I feel I am out of shape. I like that the duration and frequency of the workouts were manageable for a person like me that feels like I’m starting again on my journey of exercise. Some days you had more workouts that others and that too was very cool. I didn’t dread looking at HomeFitness nor the idea of exercising. The movements were not always executed just like the instructor modeled but I could do most of them accurately. Because the movement was part of the workout plan for another day, I felt like I could continue to try to get better with that particular movement. Overall I really like HomeFitness.

I left a review recently and received a response from the developer. I only added another star because the person I spoke with was very nice. But I’m still honestly pretty disappointed.

My previous review talked about how you couldn’t skip the subscription and just try the free version of HomeFitness . I was told that I had to start the free trial and then go to cancel it immediately after to use the free version of HomeFitness . Although this was a more or less helpful solution, I don’t currently have a payment source set up on my Apple account because I don’t spend money on things like this. It wouldn’t let me attempt the free trial without setting up a payment method, which is seriously a hassle.

There really should be an easier way to just say “no.” If you’re prepared to pay the subscription, this is HomeFitness for you. But if not, you should really keep looking.

I love HomeFitness and how they customize workouts just for me. Being that I haven’t worked out in a couple of years it’s definitely great to be able to start gradually. I love that I can track my weight everyday and getting the reminders are awesome because I will forget. The only thing the I would like to see added is a place where I can actually put in a goal for the size I want to get to and to keep me motivated. Oh I forgot 🤭, I love 😍😍😍 the music and I just feel like I can rock out in my living room by myself. Thank you so much for thinking about the average girl like me who wants to become extraordinary.

I think the format of HomeFitness is amazing, honestly my favorite of any workout app I’ve found. However, right now the current plan I am on is opted for only 1 workout a day because I have an other app that I enjoy and like to use them both. If you choose the option for only 1 workout a day it only ever gives you cardio or full body. “Trouble zone” is never given in the whole 12 week program which I find odd? I feel like the format for HomeFitness is incredible but that it doesn’t actually live up to the specialization program for you hype like it could. For example, how is “plank pose” cardio? I feel that it is more random then they let you believe. I look forward to seeing more improvements as I really love HomeFitness!

I love that HomeFitness offers really short workouts and I still feel like I’m getting something done. Also I have a lot of injury issues and I’m able to modify the exercises to my level. The biggest downfall for HomeFitness is that they lump everything into 3 target zones: abs, arms and legs. Then they make you choose only 1 target zone. Most of your exercises come from your target zone and then they have a general database of exercises as well that they pick from. However, I would say that a lot of people want to target more than one area. For example, I really want to target both my arms and my abs but I’m forced to choose one. I’m not a big fan of that. I’m going to see how I like the week long trial and then I’ll choose from there what I want to do.

If you’re going to charge people to use HomeFitness , you should at least put the minimum amount somewhere so people know they’ll ultimately HAVE to pay to use HomeFitness before they download it. I didn’t even make it through the 4-step set up before it was asking me to put in financial information so it could charge me the second the trial ended. Nope. It doesn’t even mention a 7-day free trial in the description of HomeFitness ! The only way you find out about it is by downloading HomeFitness and starting the setup process.

There’s plenty of other free versions of the same sort of app available. Since weight loss and strength training are only as effective as a individuals determination to stick with it, might as well use an app that’s upfront about their fees. You should either consider extending the trial to one month, or offer a “slimmed down” (no pun intended) free version.

This was a great workout app, but I started having troubles December 30 and it refused to stay open the next day. Tried to delete and reinstall. I was on day 30 something of the plan too. So disappointing....

Update: it started working again, but my attempt to fix deleted all my data. No biggie I’ll start over. But for an otherwise awesome app, please find some way to back up data.

Update: received a nice email from the developer apologizing and identifying backups as something they hope to work on. I still like HomeFitness , but this something I hope they implement soon.

When I first started HomeFitness I had NO IDEA it would bring me so close to my goals. They cover EVERYTHING! I enjoy myself so much once I’m done with my workout I will jump to the next one. I HIGHLY recommend HomeFitness to ANYONE even beginners. The hardest part about working out is getting there but with HomeFitness you can workout at home all the time any time you want. Everyday is a start of something new & with HomeFitness it definitely gives you the chance to be the best you!

I looked at many fitness apps and read dozens and dozens of reviews. After awhile the reviews appear to be all over the board. They all have a mix of good ones and bad ones. What brought me to choose HomeFitness was that it was the only app where every review, good and bad, contained an individualized developer response.
HomeFitness itself is user friendly. The exercises have demos. The recipes are accurate. HomeFitness suits my needs for a no equipment, 15 minute work out I can do anywhere. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a way to get some exercise without having to go to a gym, buy equipment, or committing to more or less than you want out of a work out.

I started using HomeFitness specifically because it had a water notification. Then, I couldn’t fit into any of my “nice” clothes so I started using the fitness program. I just wanted a workout program, not a coach. I repeated the short daily workouts 2 or 3 times 5xweek, usually about 25-30 minutes total.
Started the weekend of St. Patrick’s day 2019.
It’s now 7 months later and I’m down 40 lbs.👍🏻
I used Verv Fitness and a calorie tracking app(Lose It) and I’m in awe of myself and my ability to achieve my vision!
