EvolveYou: Strength For Women Reviews

by Dreamstatecangetit

I love the concept EvolveYou and wanted to support our main girly Krissy, BUT it fell short for me. The workout videos were a nice touch, but the written instructions were full of typos or hard to understand, or in one case was just for the wrong exercise. It’s important to note that Krissy isn’t a certified trainer, nor does EvolveYou seem to indicate a certified trainer is doing the programming.

The nutrition function was dreadful, despite the fact that Krissy has hired a nutritionist for this. Super basic “meat, carb, side of veg” meals you definitely don’t need inspiration to come up with. The instructions were bare “cook the fish, cook the rice” without any real timelines or instructions, and the measurements don't translate for us U.S. girls, so have fun buying things by the gram. I think for the recipe section to be more user friendly there should be better instructions, more interesting meal ideals, and a “meal prep” option. As it is the “do it for me” meal plan button gives you a total of 21 recipes and a baffling 80+ item shopping list for one week.

With some changes I think EvolveYou could be really amazing, but there are still too many functional kinks for me to really use at this point. Maybe I’ll try again sometime down the line!

I’m so disappointed. I truly love(d) EvolveYou and have had since a month or so after it released. I stuck with it and lost a significant amount of weight following. The thing I enjoyed most was how simple and straightforward it was. This update completely ruined that. For one, I don’t understand how there are more steps than before to get to EvolveYou ’s core function: workout guides. It’s based around the gym and home versions, yet those two guides are buried at the bottom of the Workouts page titled “Other Guides.” Huh?? Everything seems so clunky now. It used to be easy to pull up in the gym last minute, even if EvolveYou wasn’t already open. A couple of clicks and I’d know exactly what to do. Now I have to shuffle through a few pages just to get to the same spots, and everything is so busy that it makes the experience less enjoyable.

I know Krissy cares about EvolveYou and has put a lot of time into it, but this overhaul just didn’t hit the mark. I love what it was and am willing to stick around for a little while longer for her team to figure out a more user-friendly update. That being said, I really hope it happens quick because for the monthly fee I’d like to be happy with what I’m getting.

I like how many options there are within EvolveYou. I’ve just started using it and I’m still discovering more each time I open it!

So far I do have two negative comments:
1. I wish there were more options to change out a workout move that you don’t want to do or don’t have the equipment for. The workouts are not very malleable. There are some moves I just really don’t enjoy (or can’t do because my gym doesn’t have chairs to use??) and the options are really limited on what you can exchange a move for. This has resulted in me skipping a couple moves in various workouts because I’m not sure what to replace them with on my own and I wish there were more suggestions readily available.
2. I also wish there were better options for the meal planning. I have a gluten allergy (so not just a preference for whether I eat meat or not 🙄). It would be cool to use the prefill meal option, but the one time I tried literally half of the prefills were something with bread, which I generally avoid because gluten free bread is kind of meh. I clicked on the double arrows to replace it and found that a huge number of the meals have gluten products as part of the recipe. Sorting through all the meal options would be way easier if they had the option to exclude gluten, which is a very common allergy.

I really love the structure and presentation of the workout plans. They are challenging but not over doing it. I also enjoy I can log my weights with notes and it keeps a history of what I have done. Workout plan yes, love it.
Now, the nutrition portion I HATE how the shopping list is done. “Dark soy sauce 2 tbps” ???? I understand that this is how much I need for the week but this information is useless when shopping. I would prefer if it would tell me 1 bottle of soy sauce, 2 chicken breast, or even a bag of chia seeds. Telling me the grams needed does not work effectively. Also, I hate how all the produce is scattered around. Having to scroll up and done making sure I got all the vegetables I needed is annoying. If the shopping list was organized by sections it would be more user friendly. All the vegetables lump together, all the meats lumped together. That way when I’m in that section in the grocery store it’s easier for me to cross reference what I need and got. Some of the items listed my local grocery stores does not carry it. I enjoy how I can switch meals to accommodate my taste and food options available.
Overall, I plan to continue using EvolveYou and I look forward to more improvements. Thanks Krissy Cela :)

Granted I’ve only been using EvolveYou for a week I’m very impressed and love it so far. Signed up with the free trail however I’ll probably pay the subscription! I’ve tried a lot of fitness apps and this is by far the easiest and most appealing to me. I’m very picky about layout and function of fitness apps I use and I have to say I like this a lot! I love the weekly calendar function! It’s so easy to add or remove workouts! I like that you can just drag and drop to the day you want. Also great that you can add multiple workouts for one day! There are many programs to choose from depending on what you are looking for. I like that EvolveYou will ask you if you want to pause your program to join a challenge they have going on. Awesome feature! Grateful they have vegan option for the nutrition section. Not a lot of fitness apps are accommodating to this diet! Only con as some people have mentioned is there aren’t many options to swap out some exercises if I’m unable to do due to limited equipment or movements I just don’t like doing. Add a bigger database to choose from and this will be a 5 star app!!

I’ve spent a good half of my life doing cardio, spin, and attempting ab workouts. I was always reluctant about strength training because I didn’t know where to start, and I didn’t want my body to look like a body builders. Then, I decided I really wanted to learn how to get lean and tone using weights, so I downloaded tone and sculpt after finding Krisy on Instagram. EvolveYou is hands down the best workout app out there. I’ve tried many, but this one is the best. You can select “home” or “gym” - I selected gym because I wanted to get familiar with machines, and it has built my confidence with weight training SO MUCH. EvolveYou targets exactly the right areas, and has such a variety with workouts. On your days off, you can select the “+” button and search through target workouts, 15 min workouts, etc. if you want to keep working on something specific. It’s very user friendly, and the workouts are challenging but doable and you learn so much all while building strength, and getting better everyday. EvolveYou is amazing. I’ve had my on and off cycle with the gym, but EvolveYou offers workouts that keep you coming back for more because you feel/see the results. The meal ideas on EvolveYou are also very feasible, and attainable in the kitchen. So much ease and variety! I will be a life long member of tone and sculpt. Thank you tone and sculpt team for building the best app out there!

I just finished my first week using EvolveYou and let me just say.... I don’t like the gym. But EvolveYou makes me want to go! I LOVE having preset workouts so I don’t have to make one. I love the nutrition portion as well, there are so many options and varieties of types of food! The only thing about the nutrition portion I wish was different was being able to add any food in that’s not in EvolveYou ! Other than that, I absolutely love everything about EvolveYou . You can track weights used in the gym, weight loss/maintain/gain progress, calories, and water intake. For some exercises you can choose alternate exercises, and the videos and instructions showing you how to do the exercise are awesome.

Krissy herself is just incredible. So personable and receptive to user questions/concerns! I had a question regarding ab exercises and she responded to me PERSONALLY. No one else does that!! Ever! It’s so great to be apart of something where you feel the owner truly cares about each and every user and wants them to get the best out of EvolveYou . You will not regret purchasing EvolveYou.

I have been following Krissy’s journey since pretty early on and she is so inspiring! (Don’t let that think this will bias my review) EvolveYou itself is amazing. It provide not only a multitude of plans to follow that fit your needs i.e. a home, gym, and other options that you can fit into your planner to choose from. I like the flexibility, tone and sculpt really give you no excuse. There’s also meal planning and a community that’s all around the best! The environment that EvolveYou creates is so warm and welcoming. My experience personally with EvolveYou is that I started once gyms closed and was in need of a way to stay motivated from home and It’s been a god send! I got my friends on it and we would do the home program over zoom! I’m currently doing the sculpt program, and it’s a real kicker. I have my boyfriend on it now too since winter is here! Overall I love EvolveYou , the community, and the ease of staying accountable. If you are having second thought just try it and I know you will fall in love!

I'm gonna keep my review simple and to the point. EvolveYou is simply amazing. I've been a follower of Krissy Cela since years ago when she. was just beginning to get things started; even bought one of her pdf gym guides. To see her transform and grow is amazing and to see that she came up (and with the help of her great team ofc) this incredible app is mind blowing.
EvolveYou allows you to be so flexible with fitness and organized. You choose the program plan you want, 3 days or 5 days, add challenges/extra workouts, add stretches, have a full layout planner of your week that you can change even if the day comes and u change your mind on doing that workout. The nutrition has many options to choose from like you will never be bored and the snacks are so good and simple. The community is so welcoming and there is a forum where u can chat amongst other users and motivate one another. Also, a grea feature is being able to hit the button "mark workout complete" if sometimes you don't plan on tracking weights and just wanna glide thru the workout. EvolveYou is perfect and budget friendly. I've never kept any workout app i downloaded in the past because i just didn't truly like any; except for the Tone and Sculpt app. I definitely will never be unsubscribing.
Thank you to Krissy and the entire team for creating a perfect app that is sooo helpful❤️

I have been using the tone and sculpt app for a month and a half now and the time has flown by! I have made progress and WORKED OUT 4 TIMES/WEEK FOR A MONTH AND A HALF! I’m never that consistent, and it hasn’t even been hard to keep up with. EvolveYou breaks down the weeks and days in a way that is easy to stay on top of. There are new moves and goals for me every week and I really love it. The challenges push me every time. I also love that there are rest days, because after a hard workout sometimes I need one—and that’s okay! I always pretend Krissy is there in the room with me working out because it feels like she really is! EvolveYou, community, and her story are very inspiring and keep me going even when I feel tired. This whole community and app combined work so well for me to keep on track. I also always listen to krissy’s inspiring message on Instagram for some extra motivation and relatability, to know that we really are all in this together and we can crush it!

I’ve tried many apps before the T&S, but none of them really satisfied me. Not to mention how expensive they were, and it wasn’t even worth it the price!
One day, looking around Instagram I found Krissy’s profile, and started to try some of her workouts. When I’ve realized that she had an app, I immediately downloaded it and loved it since day 1! The workouts are always so challenging and different, and never boring. The Sculpt It phase is absolutely my favorite program, but also the Home and Gym workouts are great!
EvolveYou really is really for everyone, no matter at what level you may be in your journey. It also has a great meal plan—easy, affordable and delicious!
Another thing that I really love about EvolveYou is the forum where everybody can post motivational posts, transformations pics, or simply questions. I love to see how many women, from every part of the world, come all together and support each other! 💙
If you are looking for a great trainer and a good workout program, this is EvolveYou for you!

I’ve been following Krissy since way before Tone&Sculpt and even though I wasn’t even into working out back then, I just loved her energy. She’s such a sincere, genuine person who never has given up on herself or her dreams. You can feel that in every aspect of EvolveYou. Her and her team truly care about women and fitness and mental health in way that not many, if any, other fitness trainers can claim. Her transparency about her weaknesses are as inspiring as her showcasing her strengths. She truly makes you feel part of the familia. This community has changed the entire way I view fitness and life in general. I don’t get down on myself if I miss a workout because it’s about the lifestyle and the continued commitment not about killing yourself every single day. I make fitness work for me and my life and that wouldn’t have been possible without Krissy and EvolveYou ! I recommend Tone and Sculpt to everyone I speak to about fitness. I’ve gotten my best friend, a few work friends and my mom and her boss all using Tone and Sculpt! You all are the best!!

I started using T& S after Krissy’s FB challenge in August/Sept. I stopped going to the actual gym since the pandemic hit and transitioned to working out at home but I was getting bored with the workouts I was doing so I joined Krissy’s fb group and soon after downloaded EvolveYou. I love how easy it is to use! You can pick a guide and it will add the workouts to your weekly planner. There are guides for home and gym 👏🏾. She also demonstrates each exercise and goes over proper form as well. They have other awesome features as well such as tracking your water intake, meals, as well as progress photos.

Recently they added audio where you can actually hear your trainer walk your through the workout! So nice. Now they have made EvolveYou even BETTER by adding a new trainer Danyele so we get even more variety/options with our workouts and the best part about all of this is that its so CHEAP! I used to pay $149/mo for my gym membership now I pay less than that for the whole year! 💙💙💙 so glad I took a chance to try something new!

I’ve been following Krissy for years now, she has some awesome free workouts on her IG. With the covid lockdown regulations I had to find a way to motivate myself to continue working out from home. Purchased EvolveYou and I have been consistently working out all of quarantine. It’s so easy to track your progress and honestly EvolveYou is beyond resourceful, it has targeted workouts, timed workouts, and it even includes recipes and nutrition where you can track macros. You can use the plan given to you or you can custom tailor your workouts on EvolveYou planner (hello organization!) by choosing your favorite workouts. The planner has to be my favorite part because I know if I plan ahead and schedule my workouts in to my week I am 99% more likely to keep to it than if I just wing it. I love the variety of the workouts (gym,home,hiit) and ease of use, and to make it better the team works so hard to keep customers happy that inquiries are responded to within a day. Love EvolveYou recommend it to all of my girlfriends. Thanks T&S!

EvolveYou has created an effective workout routine for me during this chaotic time. It was extremely hard for me to get to the gym and find effective workouts as a beginner. EvolveYou not only has workouts that you can complete from your own home but has other guides and give you the opportunity to follow along though while at the gym! Having something like this at your fingertips is worth the purchase and it has made a HUGE impact on my overall fitness journey. I can track my water intake, choose from healthy recipes to create at home and I don’t have to plan out any specific workouts just choose my guide and begin my workouts! I’ve been using EvolveYou for a little over 3 months now and I haven’t found anything else more effective and worth my time. Each new addition to EvolveYou has made EvolveYou 10x better and I can’t wait to see what 2021 has in store for upcoming workouts. I recommend EvolveYou to any one out there who is needing that extra help with what to do while working out and how to do it. You will not be disappointed!🥳💙💪🏽

I’m still amused every morning by how much I love and need EvolveYou in my daily routine. Krissy has changed my idea/way of thinking about what a healthy lifestyle is. She works hard everyday to implement the idea that YOU are the most valuable person in this world. You and only YOU can do at least one thing every day to become a better, happier and healthier version of yourself. Theres no magic spell that will make you “look” and feel healthy. What is truly magical is how showing up and being consistent every day for the rest of your life will do to your physical and mental health. EvolveYou will help you thrive and become a individual who is truly content with your life because you know you’re doing what best for you. This is not just an app, when you join you bexome part of Tone&Sculpts familia and you can’t put a price on that. From one obsessed user to a future one, just give it a chance! And hey theres a 14day trial, see what 2 weeks of dedication to yourself can do to your soul💙inclusivity, accessibility and longevity is what we strive for!

I love everything about EvolveYou ! I do have a few recommendations to make it even better! There is a nutritional tab in EvolveYou which has SO many yummy recipes. I think it’d be a nice addition to be able to set certain macro goals!
I’d also love to be able to set my rest days for my plan. Yes, you can move everything around but it’d be nice to be able to go in and pick so I don’t have to move things around each week.
I’m going the gym guide with Krissy and Mondays are quads and calves but I like doing glutes and hamstrings on Monday. With that being said I think it’d be nice if we could set a day for those as well. Again, you can move everything around but it would be awesome to go in and click on Glutes and Hamstrings then be able to click a day of the week!
Obviously these are not necessary fixes but it would just make things a smidge easier. I’m obsessed with EvolveYou ! The workouts, the challenges, the layout. It’s perfect. If you’re hesitating to get EvolveYou TRY IT OUT! They offer a trial. I promise you will love it! Thank you so much Krissy and Danyele! 💓

I will be completely honest, I have bought A LOT of guides, tried a variety of apps for their free trials and I never stuck with any of them because they just weren’t for me. I got gifted the Tone and Sculpt app last year for my birthday and I decided to give it a chance and I am so impressed by it!! I absolutely love that you can track your weight which is HUGE for me because I am always wanting to progress with my lifts. I also love the variety of programs such as gym, home & the sculpt it guide for more quick and effective workouts. Now a new trainer, Danyele Wilson joined the team and her training style is so athletic and intense that I am even more hooked and have started her program. I love that Krissy allowed another athlete on because it does give variety to absolutely everyone who uses EvolveYou. For all that it gives, it is definitely worth the cost and more. Krissy pours her heart into EvolveYou and she’s unlike the rest of the trainers who are just looking for generic apps to give their followers to gain money and more “fame”. EvolveYou is the real deal I am telling you! Give it a try because I am so glad my picky self did ;)

Okay so I never write reviews... but felt this one deserved it.

I am a health and fitness coach myself who also does body building competitions. I am now reversing and have been missing the consistency but still wanting the option to be flexible. I’ve been looking at other apps lately but nothing quite had what I wanted and all the features I needed.

I’ve been following Krissy for years now and I never thought to give it a shot until now. Saying EvolveYou is amazing is an understatement. They have everything and it’s SO simple. I was tired of using my fitness pal for years and EvolveYou is just so easy to switch things out. It makes things fun and interactive. Never giving EvolveYou up. Only thing I wish it had more of is trainers and more workout options for advid gym goers. Like more weight training workouts. But I’m sure that’ll come with time. The other thing is I wish they had/ hope they eventually add an overview of all the macros added up for the entire day. Rather than each meal. They put the total calories, but not the total macros. Also that we could add an extra snack if we wanted.

I am so happy to finally have made the decision to try the free trial and end up subscribing to EvolveYou.I am on week three of the workouts and I really started by taking it easy and only doing three workouts a week and then if I was feeling a little bolder or had more energy adding some workouts on throughout my week. Although I am only on week three I have been noticing changes in my body and my progress photos have confirmed that. The video that goes along with the work out really helps me to make sure that I’m getting the right form, the audio lets me know when to continue going, the built-in timers, and 1 million other features that EvolveYou has make it amazing. I love that I have the opportunity to now choose between two different trainers if I want a different experience. On top of all of that there is direct contact with this amazing community where all the participants are always so supportive and helping each other out and the customer service is always there to answer or encourage or help. So happy with this 🙌🏼
