Heria Pro Reviews

This is one of the best workout apps out there. I love how it tells you how much you have worked each muscle group. To make is even better, brake down how much each movement worked each muscle. Like “ pushups: 60% chest 25% triceps 15% Shoulders”. You should also make it so you don’t have to schedule every workout you do. But I do love scheduling all my workouts for at the start of every week.

The next suggestion would be nice but no needed. In the progress tab, adding something like tracking your weight, and max reps for each exercise would be cool. Also for weighted exercises, adding how much weight might be helpful for tracking progress. I also thing a few of us would like to add our own custom movements. Adding your shop into HeriaPro would be lit.

Overall HeriaPro is great. HeriaPro is definitely made for calisthenic athletics. I never knew all these exercises existed when I stated 10 months ago.

Love the new sleek look of HeriaPro . The constant updates for the workout section and a notification for them is a really nice touch. The way to record the number of reps much more intuitive too. There are some ways to improve on HeriaPro .

Since the newest update, a “video not found” error appears when trying to play an exercise clip. Trying to press the X on the message will select whatever option is directly beneath the message instead of closing the window.

There was also a glitch that rarely appears after generating a workout where no exercises will appear. A message like “insufficient exercises” appears.

And other suggestions:

Since you’ll keep adding to your pre-made workouts and programs, it would be beneficial to have a way to filter through them for users depending on what muscle groups they want to use or how difficult it is. Scrolling to find what they want can be tedious.

After selecting a workout it seems like it needs to be scheduled before you can do it. Why not also allow an option to just do it like the old app then have the workout show up on the calendar when it’s complete? It will cut off a few extra steps for those who want to immediately work out.

Overall, I like a lot of your updates. Things just need to be fine tuned to really make your app shine.

So this review is a complete 180 of my previous one. Been using HeriaPro since launch. For a while HeriaPro had many crashes and bugs including tracking-progress errors making this difficult to use as a go-to workout app. Since the full re-work update, Heria Pro has left the other fitness apps out there in the dust. There are plenty of free programs to use to get you in great shape, and manyyyy extras if you go Pro. HeriaPro is very clean and has a full range of customizable options.

Biggest request on my wishlist for HeriaPro is Apple Watch support.

App is great. Better than 90% out there, but I feel its missing a few key features that would be very very useful:
1. Ability to add notes to a set (e.g. so i can track how much weight was on the bar, perceived exertion, how the reps were tempo’d)
2. Ability to create custom exercises in the library. Granted, these wouldnt come with a video, but theres many exercises I do (e.g. band work, cable machines, shadow boxing, medicine balls) that layer extremely well into a Herian-style workout but I have no way of building in. I think this would be an easy to add feature, and each users phone could store their own custom library.
3. Ability to export workouts via .csv or .xls in a tabular format.
4. Linking workout meta data to other apps like training peaks, etc - exports duration, workout name, date, time started.

I love everything about HeriaPro I can’t wait to start a new workout everyday. The only little issues it has are when you start a workout in the preview it will say do an exercise for 20 secs but in the actual workout mode they all say reps. So you have to try to remember which one wanted reps or timed moves. Also in the programs section when you start a day program you click on start and you can’t see the workout anymore. I still give HeriaPro 4 outta 5 stars because it gives you everything you need to move forward in training and feel great about what you’re doing. I race motocross and use this workout everyday and can’t get enough it hits on exactly what you need for any tip of training you need or just for normal everyday staying in shape and looking good.

I was very excited about using HeriaPro as it would create a workout for me based on some minor selections such as your experience level, type of exercises you want to do, and the duration of the workout. HOWEVER..... as I am fairly new to calisthenics I did select the “beginner” level. Sweet right.... sure, until the workout was generated for me. First exercise after my warm up was “muscle ups”, the third exercise was “front levers”. Seriously there is a MAJOR flaw with the workout generator. Although I am newer to Calisthenics I know that a muscle up requires more of an advanced level of training. Yes, I know you can change your exercise, but as I was going through the workout that was generated for me, I noticed that I would have had to change over half the exercises. It’s an easy bug fix, but quite annoying for a new user!

HeriaPro could user major adjustments when it comes to creating a workout. For starters there should be a filter on what equipment is being used for the workout, because not everyone will have a bench, a jump platform/box, and so on. A plethora of workouts will be listed with majority of them utilizing gym equipments. By adding a filter it’d be easier to find workouts suitable for them rather than having to keep scrolling. Another suggestion that needs to implemented is to indicate what core is being focused on for a workout, especially when the user has marked multiple muscle groups creating a workout. It seems odd that it shows when you go to the exercise library but not when you are creating a workout. At least have it to where you can sort workouts by muscle groups.

As somebody who has used various lifting apps and has been an avid weight lifter for the past 12 years, I see great promise in HeriaPro. I am currently working on bettering myself in the realm of calisthenics and Heria’s expertise in this field of fitness led me to check out his app. I love being able to mix up my workouts with the provided movements and the ability to pick what I want to work that day and a workout is generated for me. There are however, a few things I would like to see in the future:

1. Ability to manipulate the rep range past the set point in HeriaPro for the specific exercise.
2. Ability to input weight used for weighted movements.
3. Ability to edit a rep range that was put in after hitting the check mark for that set.
4. Sometimes HeriaPro restarts and my timer resets. I’d like to see a way for HeriaPro to remain running so I can track my workout length in HeriaPro .

I think if these issues were addressed HeriaPro has the potential to be one of the best all around fitness apps on the market. The videos are stellar and the ability to adjust difficulty, time, and muscle groups is hands down an amazing feature.

It’s one thing for the average person(male or female) to have beginner to intermediate knowledge of health and exercising regularly, however I don’t feel HeriaPro is truly meant for any neophyte or anyone who is extremely out of shape with no knowledge of how to approach remedying their situation. I’m in the military so I only downloaded to satisfy my curiosity and the first thing I see is a instant requirement to pay either monthly or yearly for beginner routines . This requirement seems both unfair and untrustworthy, an untrained person is likely to achieve greater benefit from a personal trainer than this virtual guidance with videos that show intimidating movements and positions most untrained individuals will find difficult to assign to muscle memory without first hand assistance from a veteran of health & exercise science. Rating low because from a professional viewpoint beginner exercises & routines shouldn’t be monopolized

So far loving the workouts and programs really feeing it and feel accomplished each time I finish one. Wish HeriaPro would
1) let you delete a program or workout if you decide not to do it. My program feed looks cluttered. It’s more annoying to the eye than anything but should be an easy fix. Same thing in calendar if I never did a workout and want to delete it it won’t let me and just clogs everything up
2) weight tracking even if solely done by manual input. I use fitbit, MyFitnessPal, and my fitindex scale all together without an issue and it helps but keeping all my information for my health and weight together vi each app which all connect
3) bugs with the timer and closing workouts when you switch apps to change music or anything. Even if I pause the workout to do so when I come back it starts my timer at zero which is a bummer. And my timer will sometimes go up by 2 second increments.

Over all minor bugs but so far a great start. As someone whose worked out most his life and finally trying this method of training I’m truly enjoying it.

Content is great but app provides a poor user experience. The search doesn’t work, it’s impossible to find the workout you did yesterday, hearting or favoriting doesn’t work. All the programs are named similarly and filters don’t work correctly. Though I entered my level when living in it isn’t persistent when opening a program, it always defaults to advanced though I have beginner saved. There are also bugs in the grouping of content- there are multiple programs in which the same routine is provided regardless of level. Has anyone in the Chris Heria team used HeriaPro? I spend so much time trying to find where I left off that I do before getting to the gym so I don’t waste time. The content on HeriaPro is good, but sloppy execution.

I don’t ever write reviews but I had to for this one, HeriaPro is great! It shows you how to complete each workout, it has a running time, and tells you when your almost done, and gives you a break after each workout. You can also filter and search the part of body you want to workout such as arms, legs, abs, etc. There are also tons of content and tracks your performance. I used the free version for a while but have now subscribed to have access to even more workouts. I am seeing the benefits. Great job, Chris!

HeriaPro is excellent for anyone who wants to get a good workout in and doesn’t have the motivation to create a workout. Excellent user-friendly interface. The free features are excellent. Not one of those apps where all the workouts are locked unless you pay. Great for beginners, highly scalable for advanced athletes. Highly accessible for homework outs. Great video demonstrations. Chris Heria is a great trainer and designed an excellent app for achieving any fitness goals, including starting from ground zero!

I truly was excited to use HeriaPro and bought 1 month of Heria Pro. However there is no way to cancel the subscription. I emailed support about it and they happen to cancel my subscription. They did refund me but I do feel that all this could have been avoided if there was an option to cancel auto renewal myself. Another thing with HeriaPro is that when I would start a work out or program the exercises would not pop up in order for me to keep track of my progress. When I close HeriaPro the workout stops and I have to search for it and start it again which I find quite tedious. HeriaPro has great potential but has many small issues which made the experience for me unpleasant.

The only thing keeping HeriaPro from 5 stars are two things. The programs still bug and don’t save progress bars and I feel like the warm ups need timers as well. It’s too annoying starting a workout and you have a 3 set by 5 exercise warmup that you have to time yourself while your actual workout timer runs in the background. My whole love for HeriaPro is that I don’t have to eyeball my phone while I workout. The lack of a timer on the warmups messes that all up. Fix that and you’ll have 5 stars. Thanks Chris and his Devs.

What an amazing app.

I’ve always been against apps that help you exercise. This is because I hate having to look at my tiny screen while simultaneously focusing on my form. With Heria Pro, all you have to do is play a short clip where Chris demonstrates what it should look like and then put your phone down/away and focus on it for yourself. This is oddly a huge win over for me.

HeriaPro is straight forward, effective, and easy for the days you simply don’t want to head to the gym but still want to feel good about yourself.

This is a very good app and u can and you can start seing results with in two to three weeks with watching his videos and using HeriaPro but I recommend watching his videos before doing the workout on HeriaPro so u can follow along and and it was hard for me to understand how to understand use HeriaPro at first but I got used to it and it’s good to because it’s free but u still have to buy preimium to get exclusive workouts from him and be able to save unlimited workouts and it won’t forget your workouts history but year it’s a good app.

The exercises are fantastic. Love the ability to easily switch between difficulty levels. Giving 4 stars because HeriaPro itself could be more user friendly - for instance, if i could add an entire program, like a 28-day program , by saying “Start on 11/23, then it does the rest - that would be great. Adding one day at a time is annoying.

It would also be nice if it didn’t erase past workouts once you have too many on your schedule... didn’t realize there was a limit there.

Due to several sports and accident related injuries I have been attempting to transition from weightlifting to calisthenics for over a year now. I always found myself going back to the weights because it was very difficult to find a calisthenics workout program that I could scale as I grow and that is easy to use.

HeriaPro has changed the game for me and I wouldn’t even dare to say that this past week I have had the best gym experience of my life doing nothing but calisthenics.

Thank you so much to the Heria team!!

I really like the functionality of HeriaPro with one exception. Once I start the workout, HeriaPro does not match the original description of the workout. Often the exercises are out of order or missing. I am hesitant to pay for the pro because that would drive me nuts if I paid for that, but for free, I guess it is ok. I really love the workouts and exercises, if that one problem is fixed, I’d be a paying customer. I really have to give it 3 stars. I am giving one star hoping someone sees it and fixes this problem because I do like the workouts very much.

HeriaPro is amazing. I really like it but there should be a way to submit feedback through HeriaPro . The workout gets reset if you slide back to the scheduled workouts menu (happened by mistake). There is nothing else to customize personally other than your name and your picture. A customizable timer should be added. Just a few improvements and a better way to view account info and being able to contribute to improve HeriaPro . Maybe adding links to Heria’s other content and maybe the store would help him and his team generate more revenue so that they can continue to provide great content. For a free app though I don’t think anyone could ask for better something more so I’m giving it 5 stars.

I just finished my first workout. HeriaPro is great and everything but it lacks the ability to edit/undo things. For example, after pressing the (X) button on a customized workout I didn’t know that it automatically updates my progress I thought the (X) was to cancel the sets I accidentally pressed. So now my record/progress is not accurate cause I can’t remove the exercises&sets that I accidentally pressed and didn’t do. Other than that, HeriaPro is amazing.

HeriaPro is well made. I like that you can customize your workout to whatever your level of fitness is. The clips of Chris Heria showing you what each move should look like is extremely helpful especially for a beginner like myself. Another feature I enjoy is that it tracks which muscle groups you worked out that day & what percentage of each. Whatever your goals are or level of fitness, everyone can benefit from HeriaPro.

HeriaPro is amazing for the people that either want to gain muscle mass, lose weight or if you want to do Chris’s daily workouts then you are on the right app. The only problem is that if you want to do a pro workout you have to be a pro member and you have to pay to be a member. But I think you should do the pro workouts for free that’s the only problem have with HeriaPro . But everything else is great. I love HeriaPro I’m still gonna use it. But that’s the only thing I would change for the program.

I love HeriaPro, the only issue is not being able to delete programs. It would definitely help when trying to declutter. Also I have had some issues where the program workouts will show but when I hit “start” the workouts disappear except for the timer (I have deleted HeriaPro , signed back in, still a problem). I would love to recommend HeriaPro to more people, just needs some usability tweaks and to fix the occasional glitches.
