Workouts For Men: Gym & Home Reviews

It’s a decent fitness app, but not $10/mo decent. A bit of a clunky interface. After the first day of using it I had intended on canceling my subscription after the week trial was up, but because I didn’t have great cell reception and limited time when I was thinking about it (I even set a calendar reminder), I ended up getting charged for an extra week. So I get another week to see if I change my mind any. To me if feel more like a free or <$5 app than deserving of $10/mo. Does work well when playing any audio from music or podcasts while using it. It drops quite a bit just about the entire time you use it and seems to randomly go back to full volume after a while—sometimes cutting off whatever you’re playing entirely. You can’t choose the order of exercises, so if you have a fitness center that doesn’t have any of the equipment you need for a particular workout set near each other, you either have to waste a lot of time wandering all over the gym or go solo from WorkoutsForMen (this would easily add 20-30 minutes to my workout at my current fitness center). And speaking of, most of the workouts aren’t geared towards gym equipment, but rather at home.
I wouldn’t pay more than $25-30 a year for WorkoutsForMen as it currently stands. It’s better than nothing, but at $120 a year, better than nothing doesn’t cut it. I could care less about their garage diet plans too.

I think WorkoutsForMen is great but needs some improvement. When I first downloaded WorkoutsForMen it worked rlly well. I started to notice that my belly slowly became smaller, and my quads were more chiseled. But the muscle soreness was very harsh and long-lasting. I was tired as heck after every workout and could barely walk the next morning. It got the point where it started to interfere with my daily routine. Now, I don’t blame WorkoutsForMen for that, because I probably should have chosen the easier difficulty of the workout, and I also spent 20 or so more minutes a day working out, cause I rlly wanted to see the result as soon as possible. I suggest that you would like, idk, show a preview of what a workout would look like on that level of difficulty, or something. I am not sure myself what is it that I want to be improved, but yeah, I guess that is that. And as for a diet plan, it works like a clock. That’s a relief that it offers you both, because I am new into the whole working out thing, and I know that you also should eat protein or something, and that app provides me with all I need, so that’s a huge plus.

I think that overall this is a very good app. However, I’m 16 and I’ve been looking for a workout app that also provides meal plans. While these meals sound good, I cannot make all of these. My family and I have very busy lives and rarely cook as it is, and these meals are harder to prep. I need something that I can drive to Walmart and pick up a few ingredients real quick and go home and cook/meal prep. While the small tablespoons of different spices and sauces along with the six ounce salmon sounds amazingly tasty, it also sounds expensive to buy a package of spice or whatever that I’ll only be able to use a few times. Between a gym membership, the $10 a month price tag with WorkoutsForMen, and the hard to prepare/expensive meals, I’m not sure if I can use WorkoutsForMen as a permanent solution to what I’m looking for. Maybe you can work on adding easier meals to cook for students in high-school? I think this is a very well done app with lots of potential, but it may prove to be too difficult for me.

I paid $40 to basically get a series of weight lifting programs I could have gotten for free online with some Google searches, or found in a men’s fitness magazine. However, most of the time these sort of apps or programs offset this generic programming by catering their software to a more personally interactive experience, i.e. note sections to track your progress, calculators to measure how much weight you should be lifting at what stage, meal plans, customer service contact information... WorkoutsForMen? None of those things. What a joke. If you want to track your progress, better grab a notebook. If you want to calculate how much weight you should be lifting, better find free software online or go to the gym and pay a trainer. If you want a meal plan, they’ve got that...FOR AN EXTRA $30+... Want to contact the creator with feedback or questions? Good freaking luck.

I let myself get sucked into WorkoutsForMen through sponsored content on Facebook (first and last time I did that). Stay away, this is a generic, system programmed, impersonal, barebones absolute waste of your hard earned money.

One star because you can’t give zero. Or negative stars.

Love WorkoutsForMen ...yet wanted to upgrade my account in some kinda way, because I'm paying $9.99 a week. Which makes no sense because I saw a review of someone paying $10 a month? And there's a $3.99 a week option that is listed 3 different times. What's the difference? There are at least 20 different options of what looks like the same thing, with very little clarification as to what the differences are...all in all, if I continue my subscription at the current price, that would be $480 when a yearly plan is available for $119 I believe...is this a glitch? Haha Because that price difference is really drastic. Again with very little clarification as to what that would include, although I want to extend my subscription, and feel I'm paying way too much I need clarification as to what getting and why I'm paying $9.99 a week versus $3.99?

I downloaded several training apps for my workout in gym. And as soon as I am able to decide WorkoutsForMen is the best fit, I immediately subscribed a lifetime membership. I see a lot of potential for WorkoutsForMen, especially if you check the development release history, the releases of improvements and bug fixes have been very active for the last four months. I hope to see more and more features to be added in future!

Feature-wise it would be great to summarize a weekly shopping list based on the recipes so that user doesn’t need to do the summary manually. It would also be great to consider adding stretching to the workout session. If possible adding support for watch os so that we don’t have to carry iPhone all the time.

I am still exploring WorkoutsForMen . The overall experience so far is worth the price. Look forward to more features to be added. Good work!

WorkoutsForMen is such a beautiful app.
This review is a personal out look on it.

I've been always going in and out of the gym committing then uncommitting consistently. I never go to the gym and it's not because I'm lazy.
I don't think anybody is lazy people are just too afraid to fail or look like they're doing things wrong. And everybody loves to say "people don't look at other people when you're at the gym" for one that's not true and I'm sure not everybody is judgemental but I always hated going to the gym because I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN TO DO THEM AND HOW TO DO IT. WorkoutsForMen makes it super easy step by step planned workouts and on top of that they give you an automated meal plan?? Are these 1 star reviews crazy?? $10 is nothing to the amount of time and effort WorkoutsForMen will save you if you were to actually follow through and use all of it's features. Huge props to the devs great app! and thank you.

WorkoutsForMen has great exercises and has a great timing program. However, it was a little difficult figuring out my workout routine. When you add your information and it “calculates your personal workouts” it comes up with different areas of concentrations. It does not give a workout routine that is clear. I just do one workout from each area of concentration during my routine. Usually takes about and hour and a half.

I would like to see WorkoutsForMen added to the Apple Watch. I don’t really like having my phone with me when I workout. Thanks. Overall I really enjoy WorkoutsForMen .

I got WorkoutsForMen for the structure. Most people don’t succeed because they lack structure. However, the biggest sell was the 28 day challenges. I was going to follow it, but it doesn’t exist. At least I didn’t get it even though I paid for six months. There are workouts to follow, but they don’t explain how to use them. Everyday or every other or what? The most a workout has is 21, but no explanation of how often to do them. I reached out to the developers in WorkoutsForMen three times but got no answer. That’s another issue. Right now I have done the weight loss program everyday for two weeks. After this week, I will have done all 21 workouts. I will probably take a week off to avoid over-training. But again, I wish I could get some real direction. I don’t know why you would promote a challenge but not have any direction about it in WorkoutsForMen ?

You should be honest in your description of WorkoutsForMen . I Purchased the premium subscription that is supposed to include all work out programs and custom meal plans with hundreds of recipes. When I click on the food section it wants to charge me an additional fee on top of what I have already paid for. On top of that to track your progress it ask you to sign into Facebook or create a new profile, but the thing is there’s no way to create a new profile you’re being forced to sign in through Facebook. Sorry I feel this is a very dishonest way about doing business and I cannot support WorkoutsForMen. I also never got the free trial. In order to use WorkoutsForMen you have to give all your info. I thought that after the free trial period was over you would be asked if you like WorkoutsForMen and want to continue. The money was pulled out of my account the minute you give them your info. Be very careful I would stay away from WorkoutsForMen.

I haven’t even opened WorkoutsForMen yet, I’m just trying to put the rating up because the only point I see from everyone is about the subscription, it tells you you can cancel it before buying it, you all who are saying it’s a waste a time, get real, you get 7 free days and you can cancel it for free, it isn’t hard, you’re just a whiny person looking for something to blame. Ten dollars a month is also less than a regular gym membership and it gives you all the information you need for the parts you wanna workout from the videos I saw. Apologies to the developer if the only response you’ve seen have been negative views on one thing that people can’t figure out even though you’ve given them the information on how to solve it.

While signing in it asks your preferred food diet, but as soon as you finish the process of purchasing a subscription you land on another page asking for you to do an upgrade in order to get the meal plan it asked earlier. Not once does WorkoutsForMen say it is separate. Ok, then after saying no you are hit with a page to connect you to Facebook, with all the privacy issues we all face my main concern is location and how I use my phone. On we go... I head into settings and there’s an option right at the top, can’t miss it. It’s an option to stop information gathering (some, not all) Once I select it WorkoutsForMen crashes and it makes you add all the information it originally asked prior to your credit card. I did this three times and it crashed every single one of those times. Honestly, I can’t see why WorkoutsForMen received ™ some of these positive reviews. Honesty. I use iPhone XS Max 256GB with ample storage and running latest update.

WorkoutsForMen definitely has great potential but there are some things that just keep me from wanting to subscribe long term. For one I hate that the sound of my music dims when I am working out. Like all I am trying to do is listen to music and workout. It’s not like WorkoutsForMen needs to talk to me or tell me anything significant. Next what’s after the 12 chest sessions. Like do I start all over or is there more. I figured maybe they would add more to it but it’s not mentioned so I assume that is all they have. Next why once the workout starts I can only go next or pause. What if I accidentally hit next? Granted there are some things that I like about WorkoutsForMen and it definitely has potential but those are the things that have kept me from wanting to pay for a month or even a lifetime access to WorkoutsForMen .

What is wrong with people !!? You guys are really talking about the fact that it is a paid app and you are not able to profit from people swear and tears for free? None of the comments I have seen is talking about the interface, workouts plan, diet and or about how using WorkoutsForMen affected your body or workout plan. And it is exactly the same way with every app, you have to go in your settings in order to cancel a subscription or just ask Apple to do so via their website. Also, these rude or even insulting comments aren’t necessary. I personally downloaded WorkoutsForMen just to give my thoughts on this unfairness and they have been very polite on responding to you lame people.

first of all you go through this whole elaborate question and answer to get your workout desires and body types etc. It sounds really good at the surface but then when you get into WorkoutsForMen it just gives you a bunch of programs and says choose from these and do as many as you want at the same time. It’s not exactly what I would call a gated exercise program it’s more of a bucket of exercise programs to choose from.
The exercises don't always match the videos or vice versa. They also forget to include the right side workout. It's not capable of recording what weight you use for each exercise. Lastly they misspell words which makes it seem cheap and no one is really working to improve it.

Hello! I was excited to see WorkoutsForMen and experience it as it seems to be a potential solution for my goal to lose weight and maintain a healthy diet. However, when I started setting up my preferences in WorkoutsForMen and got to the area where I can choose a subscription I was disappointed to see that there is no trial period offered. I have a hard time spending money upfront when I haven’t even experienced WorkoutsForMen . Even if it was only a weeklong trial it would be helpful to know if this is something I wanted to continue or not. Any chance this could become available in a future update?

The workouts, the examples, the plans all great and would recommend to anyone. The problems come with everything else with WorkoutsForMen .

Even after purchasing a plan you are BOMBARDED by notifications wanting you to buy more and using shady clickbait notifs. The notifications you would want like scheduled workouts don't work. The audio got “stuck” on bluetooth only, so any audio cues through speakers are gone. Progress is tracked through an all or nothing link to healthkit…there are warnings for de-linking this, but seems really sus that there cannot be internal and external progress information

The “contacts us” button in app is either a) placebo and does nothing, or b) gives no notice feedback was sent, either way as the user, this review for everyone to see is the only recourse.

I enjoy what the workouts provide and I am in better health because of it, but the end user experience leaves a lot to be desired and have currently shelved WorkoutsForMen due to technical issues. As other users have said, after paying between $30-$100+ for a subscription, it isn’t much to expect a working app.

We also automatically collect from your device language settings, IP address, time zone, type and model of a device, device settings, operating system, Internet service provider, mobile carrier, hardware ID, Facebook ID, and other unique identifiers (such as IDFA and AAID).

Hi, I found WorkoutsForMen really helpful while scrolling into my Instagram feed. I am currently 17 years of age and I would like to start working on my shape better and taking things more seriously. I play soccer and basketball and attend the gym 2-3 times a week(more likely on weekends because of all I have to do) I haven’t yet started a plan but I would like to know if WorkoutsForMen could help me to reach my achievements as a 17 year old or if it would be better for me to find a nutritionist and a coach at the gym to help me learn and do everything correctly. I really think I could do it just on me but I would like to hear from the development team. Thank you!

I’m personal trainer
WorkoutsForMen it’s amazing but it’s not for free it’s ok I understand that my device to you guys u have to let people try it before the pay you losing your Business app Review very bad

I have read a lot of reviews and looked at a lot of images and videos on WorkoutsForMen. I like every aspect of it and wish that I can use it. But as usual they collect all the information they can about you and sell it to third parties. Of course you can turn off some setting that give them the right to collect data, but not all. Its really unfortunate that this is the case with almost every application on your phone. I feel violated with how much information WorkoutsForMen collects and sell as well as many others. Do not get WorkoutsForMen if you don't want your location, device settings, logs of your taps on WorkoutsForMen , IP address and much more collected. Of course you can use security measures such as vpn but that doesn't stop them from getting the rest of your information that can tie you to your IP. So there is basically no way to stop them unless you don't use WorkoutsForMen . This agitates me because I really want to use it but there is too much personal information that it collects. I see WorkoutsForMen as spyware as well as many apps out there. All their privacy policies say the same thing. I really dislike the world we live in now a days where every little piece of personal information is collected in every way possible. Please read this devs as I put some time into this review. I know this will not make you change your privacy policy but I just wanted to let you guys know how me and lots of other people feel about this violation of our privacy.

I love WorkoutsForMen, it motivates me to keep working because i can feel my muscles getting somewhat sore after every workout.. which i have not had with any other workout program, i feel like this is going to take me places.. One thing i would have to say is with the diet program, i have tried to do it the best i can but i do have a nut allergy, so i cannot eat half the items that they have prepared.. if it was possible to get a program maybe directed towards people with some allergies that would make everything so much more amazing. Thank you

First of all, let me say how difficult it is to find a workout and fitness app that has everything I’m looking for. The pickings are slim, so I was happy to try this one after seeing somewhat positive reviews. It seems highly customizable and offers clear direction. All good. My reluctance comes from the cost. I misread the $9.99 as per month, which I would gladly pay, as other options are around this price. When getting into WorkoutsForMen I was shocked to see it was actually $9.99 a WEEK. I’m not a cheapskate, but a week?? Proteins and supplements, healthy food, and a gym membership are already not cheap. Another $40+ per month could go towards personal training sessions, not an app. Sorry, too much.

I subscribed to WorkoutsForMen, hoping that it would be an asset to my workouts, however I quickly learned that their customer service is absolutely horrible. They boldly advertise a “weekly” cost to their lifetime subscription, but when you choose it, they deduct the annual amount all at once. When I brought this up to customer service, their response was unsurprising...”our users are informed.” Yes, of course they are...in such fine print that most users would never wade through. When I contacted them for a refund...they indicated that they do not handle refunds. Interesting....they gladly take my money but do not claim responsibility in handing some or all of it back if a customer is not satisfied with the product. Thank you, BetterMen, for for being such a great example of customer “no-service.”

I’m not a gym newbie, but I’ve never felt comfortable at the gym. I always walk in feeling dumb and overwhelmed. WorkoutsForMen has really helped lead me and has kept me focused in the gym. It’s great I don’t have to think about what to do, it just tells me. It would be five stars if I could jump around the exercises and come back later to finish them. A lot of the time the gym is packed and I can’t do that particular exercise. Also, my music stops or the volume lowers then the exercise videos start. There’s no sound to the videos so it would be great if my music was still pumping at the volume I had it. Other than that it’s a great workout app! Thanks

So I just started using WorkoutsForMen. It’s pretty much exactly what I want except the nutrition portion doesn’t allow you to choose foods you don’t like and the stuff they want you to make is a bit complex for someone like me. I hardly cook at all and when I do cook it’s basically grilled chicken with some steamed vegetables or something. I don’t like fish very much and the diets really want you eating fish, like salmon with a bunch of other stuff that I’m just simply not gonna be able to consistently pull off everyday, which I understand fish is great for you, but I’d rather get Omega-3 pills and use those alongside some other protein.
