Yoga for Weight Loss: Yoga-Go Reviews

Overall I think this is a decent app if you want this app routines that are not spiritually-based which is great for me as I use this app as a way to work out without high intensity. However the way that some of the videos are laid out is very clunky and obviously they have just pasted together videos of the instructors going from one posed to another but that leaves bizarre gapsWhere it tells you to sit up from a lying down position only to immediately go back into lying down for the next position and awkward transitions like that. It also seems to not have taken in my change of settings as I went from beginner to advanced to intermediate while using Yoga for over a year. After each workout, it asks me whether or not it was too easy, perfect, or too hard but there’s no indication that Yoga is taking that into consideration for my future workouts, only if I share it with other people which I don’t want to do and as I’ve paid for it I don’t feel like I should have to. It just seems overall but Yoga is very much on auto pilot rather than actually taking the users preferences into consideration.

And am looking forward to the month ahead! I purchased one month to try it out. While i do really love the idea of short workouts, i cant help but think, should i be doing all (8) challenges every day AND at least one targeted longer workout?? Being such a rookie, it would be nice if there was a suggested guide of which workouts to do to achieve weight loss results. Also. An important question. Bc theres so many awesome workouts to choose from, i dont think ill be able to do them all within 30 days.....will i still have access to this first months workouts that i paid for even if I decide to cancel my subscription after one month?? Or will i lose out on all the workouts?? Really hoping for an answer on that. Thank you so much!!

I wish I had read the reviews before paying for a subscription. This does not appear to actually give you a personalized plan. After entering your information and answering questions about your goals and skill level, it tells you that it has generated a personalized plan for you. The only way to get to the plan, or to use Yoga at all for that matter, is to pay for a subscription. After doing so, you land on a page with a bunch of suggested workouts that don’t seem to have taken your answers into consideration. There isn’t one plan specifically suggested for you, or a path to follow as far as I can tell. I also noticed the other reviews that mention this seem to get a condescending reply from the developer. “We understand this may be overwhelming for some users…” No, not overwhelming, underwhelming. Lacking direction. Lacking personalization. I’m going to attempt a refund, but based on other reviews, it doesn’t seem likely. I’m mad at myself for falling for this and wasting my money.

I never leave reviews but I wanted to on Yoga because I almost didn’t download Yoga due all the negative reviews I read. Yoga is awesome. There are many complaints about it going from exercise to exercise but I feel like that’s more beneficial for people who are very busy. this app carries so many benefits and I can feel it working. It may not be as personalized as it seems but I personally like the fact that I have many videos to choose from and I can decide what works for me and what I have time for that day. I have had no issues with Yoga itself everything works and loads fine. I like that it teaches you how to breathe while working out and it has honestly reduced my stress and anxiety already.

I have been using Yoga for 25 days now, I’ve been working out every day. I have got to tell you they aren’t that long of workouts, but they are extremely affective and time efficient. Being a mother of 3 with a full time job, things get crazy. But using this app has helped me find peace of mind, and taught me how to breath properly, and I now look forward to my workout (which sometimes doesn’t even feel like a workout). My husband has even been doing them with me, it’s so much fun!
I highly recommend Yoga, I would give it 10 stars if possible.

The only downside is all the meals are vegetarian, hubby loves his beef, but it is easily fixable, but they are always delicious! Especially the quesadillas

The stretches are deceptively simple, the time needed less than it takes to have a quiet morning coffee, the selection well targeted for problem areas....and with a little consistency and focus, I notice the body ‘pops’ with toned strength. Yoga is not for those who want to cultivate a deep this app practice, but the busy ones who want amplified results from a small regular effort. And perhaps the most striking thing about the program.... I’m able to ‘slide’ this simple daily practice under the radar of the undisciplined part of myself, making powerful incremental gains in strength and tone.

Read the description of Yoga and it says you can use it for free however it made me pay for Yoga right out of the gate. After purchasing a one month access, I have come to discover that the plans aren’t quite personal. It has you set up Yoga as if it is going to give you a day to day schedule with your workouts but instead it gives you like 30 videos. I am not sure which ones I am supposed to do or if I am supposed to do all of them? I do like that they are short and easy to follow. The lady on the videos is quite annoying though. I wish she was more personable, not just commentating the same 4 words over and over. Will continue using it for the month to see how it goes and if I see any results. If my views change about Yoga , I will update a review.

Primary reason for One-Star: When I downloaded Yoga , I was immediately told to sign up for a membership even though the AppStore said there was a 14-day trial period. The screen presenting the information did not readily make it available or known this was the case. It just instantly said “sign up to enter Yoga ”. Yoga had awesome reviews, so I signed up for three months and spent the equivalent of a compact car tank of gas to achieve it.

I found the programs disjointed and weirdly set up. There was no flow between the exercises and even though I put in I was a beginner, they threw some serious strength-stressing work at me. I couldn’t finish one such, so I ended very sore on half my body.

There are a bunch of other apps that do this in a more cohesive manner. I was just hoping this one would exceed those in offerings. And it does offer more than this app, but truly the classes are too robotic for me.

I emailed the team for guidance to which I. received a very generic response, and my follow up email for clarification remains unanswered. I get you fill out information and they recommend different exercises, but there are maybe 100 or more they give with no “personalized plan”! Only one per day is given as your daily workout and it is maybe 10 min long. Same with the food - a bunch of recipes with no direction. Do we pick one of each? No clue - nothing is really personalized, except maybe on the back end they narrow things down?

The workouts themselves are pretty good, and I’ll give it another couple of weeks. But I’ve seen this particular question be posted before in a forum and the only response was “thanks for the feedback”. It would be a better app if you told people what they needed to do in order to get the results you are selling them!

False advertising. The advertisements indicate that you will receive a tailor made workout plan. 1)You are asked a series of questions which would indicate that, in fact, there is an assessment of your abilities. 2) At the end of that series of questions, you receive a message that a plan has been developed for you. 3) You are offered three payment option. 4) You pay. 5) You realize there is no specialized plan for you, just several tile with various and sundry workouts that YOU choose.
What’s worse. Even with false advertising, there is no refund. Both the developers and Apple Pay are complicit in this scam. I requested a refund in less than 12 hours of my purchase and was informed that there is no refund and my subscription will renew in one-year if I do not cancel it one day before it is due to renew.

The conclusion of this matter....DO NOT PURCHASE.

I was hoping for a free trial or at least a few videos before starting. Immediately, they make u purchase before trying. I figured, why not give it a shot. The initial custom questions were promising but the intro videos already need help. For example, there is no back button or back 10 seconds button. If u start a video and u missed what she said, u will need to keep going or completely turn off the video. I also dislike the woman’s voice. I would suggest someone with a calming voice and more genuine, not robotic(I get it, u want me to inhale and exhale umpteenth times, except this sounds like a broken record u want to throw across the room.) I also would like to stream this on my TV. It would be nice to have a feature where I can mirror it.

Yoga is good in the sense that I can do most of the workouts and feel how it’s helping my body. It would be nice if it gave more detail in how to do the position and possibly what not to do. I sometimes feel like I’m watching the video more trying to figure out the pose then I am actually doing the pose that’s intended. I’ll keep at it though because it does seem to be helping. As for the subscription prices that doesn’t seem to be detailed at all. It has different monthly pricing for what I assume is different access but it doesn’t give details as to what each one offers over the other. I would be more willing to pay a higher price if I could easily find what the difference is for each purchase.

The Facebook / instagram ads depict an in-app user experience that has absolutely nothing to do with how the actual app works or even looks. There is no section to choose your style of stomach problem areas, there are no graphics within Yoga that look like illustrations of people, just real people and mediocre exercise videos. I don’t know how it is ethical to advertise something so different than the actual product, it is fully misleading. I don’t know if the creator has plans to release another version of Yoga that is more interactive but the current version is so basic, and barely related to the ad, for a while I thought I made a mistake and downloaded true wrong app, until I read the other comments and reviews and realized I’m not the only one shaking my head here. Shame on this company.

It is infuriating to me that the last workout I did is not at the top my main page. I love the 30 day challenges, but one day, one time, I tried another workout- Glorious Flexibility- and now it’s stuck at the top of my main page. No matter what other workouts I do, it stays there. And the challenge I’m actually doing isn’t in my ‘recent workouts’ at all. I’m still doing the 30 day challenge but every day I have to go searching for my workout and scroll down to the day I’m up to. I keep skipping data because it’s SO ANNOYING!!! I started out loving Yoga and now I’m frustrated!!! Please fix this! And yes I tried emailing support and got the generic ‘thanks for your feedback and we will pass the info to our team’.

I don’t usually write reviews but thought I’d take the time for this one. The advertisement says you’ll get personalized workout plan but you really don’t. Upon signing up (and they offer free trial), I find out they just “suggests” workout videos to you. Still, I thought I’d give it a try. So I joined 1 workout plan, and the audio doesn’t work. So I try another workout plan. Still nothing. I have deleted Yoga and downloaded it again, nothing. I then message support and they asked me to delete and download Yoga again. Still nothing. Turned out at the moment, “some parts of the content are temporarily unavailable.” They’re working on a big update. When that will be? I don’t know. So, working on requesting a refund from Apple for my month’s subscription.

I really do love Yoga! It’s great there are a few things that could make it more amazing. I would love there to be more challenges than just the ones on Yoga . I’ve had Yoga for almost a year and there is no new content. I love how the 30 day challenges direct you step by step on what to do but there are only limited choices. Once a challenge is complete there are no new challenges for that area of the body. I would love to keep using Yoga and I hope there will be new content soon similar to the challenges now!!

I was excited for the new update. Visually the new app layout is appealing, however the new instructor does not speak!!! I can’t do this app and hold my phone so I can see when she switches exercises or how quickly she is doing them, etc. There is no breath instruction when there is no sound. So none of the new workouts are helpful. I like the old instructor and will still use her since I have already paid for the year, but you have even messed up the originals too- there is now a fuzzy white line at the bottom of the screen that covers her feet! I can’t see what she is doing down there now.

I think the update was rolled out incomplete. Please finish so that Yoga is enjoyable again!

This is the first time I’ve ever written a review. The content itself (workouts) is good, clear and easy to follow. However, as many mentioned this doesn’t provide a personalized plan, nor a roadmap. It is up to you to choose a workout routine based on what your goal is or what you’re feeling that day.

One recommendation to the YG team: please make all collections readily visible (right now we need to scroll up to load more) and add a SEARCH bar to the Collections tab. You have tons of workouts and it’s tiring having to scroll and scroll when I am looking for an exercise containing a specific keyword.

Thanks!

Hello, this is a great app for me, I work from home, self employ, I spent more than 8 hours seating at my desk and I feel like I do not have time to go to the gym or this app classes but Yoga has help me immensely, thank you. I only have a suggestion, I am trying to add Pilates to my routine but it is really hard to concentrate since you are not notified of how to do the exercises or when to change so I have to keep looking at the screen, can yo please add at least a ding or something? Than you.

Ive reset my phone several times to make sure it’s not the one malfunctioning but it isn’t. It’s Yoga . The exercises are good but agree with several users that it doesn’t allow you to review the exercises to make sure you are doing them correctly. If you do, you have to go back to the beginning. It doesn’t track the workouts correctly. The workouts state they are 10 minutes long but then one of the screens states I’ve done 20 minutes worth which is not true. Can’t review workouts beforehand without them registering to my iPhone and making it appear like I’ve worked out when all I’ve done is review them. Doesn’t recommend a warm up so I understood I didn’t have to. Big mistake. I’m stuck with it because I didn’t cancel within the time I should have. ☹️

The workout/stretching is very easy to do along with the visual aid of how to do things properly. Another lovely feature is how quick it is. I can easily get it done without having to wasting time in my busy day. Plus, it’s great to do once I wake up to feel more energized for the rest of my day.

I work a lot, and I love this app Go as the workouts are amazing and only last 8-40 minutes a day- depends which one u are doing. But my body definitely feels those workouts and It’s just so perfect and easy so I use it twice daily

I’m loving having quick workouts before I go to work. Getting a good 15-20 minute workout in right when I wake up helps me feel centered and ready for the day.

Is it just me or do you see that the voice over doesn’t continue with the conductor?!? This gets to me because then I just wanna give but because I don’t know what to do! But to also add, you have to pay to get a costume schedules for your “body type” but that’s it from me but personably I would maybe download this again in the future.

Sincerely, an app user.

I love Yoga and how short the workouts are while still feeling the burn in your muscles. I wish there was an option to flip back to a previous day on the meal plan or maybe be able to save my favorite recommended ones

I like how short the workouts are and you can definitely feel them the next day. Yoga keeps saying I didn’t do workouts I already have done so I keep repeating them so it gets checked off and it still isn’t checking it off .

I work out a couple of times a week and walk a couple miles most days. I love Yoga! I use it either in the middle of the afternoon or before bed for a good stretch and reboot.

With effort, it was a great experience. And I can go about my morning feeling a little more balanced. With effort, more practice, a goal can be achieved 👍🏼

Yoga stalls mid-workout and you have to quit and exit to return to the exercise. Then, it doesn’t remember your progress so you have to start from the beginning. There is no app support and the “your account t” section doesn’t provide you the ability to cancel or unsubscribe. I have tried to cancel by emailing Yoga support store with no luck. Do not download Yoga, it’s a trap!

I saw Yoga on another site and when I went to check it out, it immediately wanted me to start the workout with me now knowing a single thing about the cost. I have been trying to maneuver the site for the past 30 min. And will absolutely not pay for Yoga. Quit trying to rip people off

I tried for 7 days but then I was charged for one year. I don’t want it, I just what for more one month. I sent emails and messages and didn’t hear from you guys. Is there anyone can help me? So I can have a better experience with Yoga , bcause until now, my rate is zero, help me to change my mind. Thank you

I paid for the entire year and was sent the receipt. After a month, my 30 day exercise record was lost, and I had to pay again to reactivate. Hopefully Yoga is not a scam, and this message gets a response because my note did not.

I’m enjoying the workout but Yoga is a bit glitchy. It has pauses at weird intervals or cuts off

I purchased Yoga today and its not working. How do I get support. Update: So far, no response after 1 day. Apple won’t help either. Just glad I didn’t get sacked for a lifetime subscription. I got Yoga to work. Had to click on renew subscription. Still haven't heard from the developer for assistance
