Kickoff Personal Training Reviews

Kickoff should be your last resort if you’re looking to improve your health this year. Even Camp Gladiator, which I also consider a scam, is a better option.

Kickoff’s crimes are legion:

1) Their trainers are not required to be nationally certified. This matters because certifications need to be regularly renewed, unlike diplomas. Certifications prove the trainer is current and competent.

2) There are no registered dietitians on the staff. This matters because it effectively makes Kickoff’s nutrition guidance illegal, because only RDs can legally give out meal plans and you can’t outtrain a bad diet.

3) The REAL kicker, from a former Kickoff trainer who confided this to me: Because Kickoff is really an AI- powered program, the trainers are not allowed to use their professional judgment. Want a qualified professional who truly understands you and will adjust to your specific needs? Good luck with that, because you probably won’t find one here.

This is an elongated way of saying that if you commit to this platform, you were too stupid or lazy to do your homework. The smart money is still to work 1-to-1 with a REAL certified trainer and hire a registered dietitian as well. It’s more expensive of course, but you’ll get actual results instead of being set up to fail by this scam of a platform that only pretends to cater to you needs. Avoid at all costs.

If you’re going to struggle to afford this or if it’s not going to be something you’re not planning to stick with, DO NOT SIGN UP. Customer service is awful, they continue to take money from me every month even though I’ve cancelled months ago. I’m in a tough spot financially as a single mother and I also have health issues that I’m dealing with. I knew signing up for this would seriously be stretching my wallet but I wanted to take the initiative of helping myself for my family. KickoffPersonalTraining and everything seemed great, the training portion is great as well, but if you have to cancel your account you really can’t. They just continue to charge you every month. Maybe it would have been different if I kept the payment through Apple, instead of listening to them to switch over to their payment platform (where they double charged me). Now I have to tell them every month to give me a refund because they don’t stop charging me even though I already canceled my account directly with them. Unfortunately I have to now call my bank to stop the payments to them which is just unnecessary, because all they needed to do was handle this properly. But they’re too concerned about taking people’s money at this point.

First of all notice 4/5. There are some useful features like a recipe bank, auto timer that goes through the workout so you don’t always have to click or watch a timer. My coach can load a workout and I can change weight or reps or find an alternative exercise. That is great if I don’t happen to all the equipment for the planned workout.
The things that need work are some of the videos don’t show the right exercise or crops a video that shows it. Like for a leg exercise the person demonstrating has legs cropped out of video. The menu used to be automated so you could pulled up a day and there are suggested meals.
So again notice 4/5 there are some awesome features and automation that make KickoffPersonalTraining pretty amazing. Still some fixes would be nice but even if those things aren’t fixed I am still happy with kickoff, KickoffPersonalTraining , and especially my coach.

Kickoff provides great customer service! I haven’t had any issues with communication. They respond quickly and put forth every effort to make sure they give you all the help you need. They are a legitimate company and I feel very safe doing business with them. You are not held to any contract and can cancel anytime. You can determine how many days a week you want to workout. You can also workout whatever time of day you want too. I have been working with my trainer, Scott, for almost three months and I’m loving it! I would highly recommend Kickoff!

I’m someone who loves new things and challenges but I have used KickoffPersonalTraining for over 8 months now! My trainer has been great and worked with my schedule, resulting in me sticking with strength training and losing 30 pounds along with Keto! I appreciate KickoffPersonalTraining for helping me stick with weights - something that has always bored me. Having tried tons of apps and virtual trainers, this was perfect in working with who I am vs me fitting into a standard plan meant for anyone. Thank you so much guys, great product!

I’ve been using Kickstart for over a year and I’ve never been in better shape! I’ve spent $1000’s and have had amazing trainers, however being in sales and having a social life, scheduling was always an issue. With these weekly personalized workouts designed specifically to fit my goals and perimeters, I’m able to get my workouts done on my own time. Highly highly recommend this program! I’m sure all the trainers are well vetted and amazing on kickstart, but my hat goes off to Denis!

I’ll start off by saying that I have never left a review before but I feel very strongly about KickoffPersonalTraining and my trainer. My experience with Kickoff has been phenomenal! I’m a real person, who needed help with my weight loss journey, and has a tight budget. This is absolutely worth the money. My trainer is constantly checking in on me, giving me helpful and useful advice, motivating me, and helping me reach my goals! I highly recommend this for anyone who is ready to make a change in there life and needs guidance and support to do so!

One of the biggest things I’ve always struggled with is getting the motivation to go to the gym, and I’ve have physical personal trainers in the past but they are just so dang expensive. Kickoff gives me a real person to be accountable to (other than myself), allows for real-time coach feedback, and the leadership of Kickoff is honest and genuinely helpful. Since starting with Kickoff, I’ve lost 30 lbs and definitely made a lot of progress with building muscles - I can see my bicep veins now! 😊😊

I just want to say that between the coach who reached out to me (Brian) and this gosh darn little app, I finally have the exercise routine that I have tried (and failed) and tried again (and failed again) to do for the last 35 years. I used to think "There's no way I could consistently wake up at 5:30 AM to work out" and now at 5:15 AM my legs get restless, as if my stupid body wants me to get up and get going.

In all seriousness, though, it's a good thing, and I'm grateful to Coach Brian and the developers of Kickoff.

I was initially skeptical about virtual training, but Kickoff and my personal trainer quickly changed my mind. Kickoff is very user friendly and allows me to easily log my nutrition and adjust my workouts as needed. It’s also really nice to have someone that can regularly answer questions, provide encouragement and hold me accountable. The workout are always fun and have been tailored to my specific ability level and goals. Kickoff has been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals.

The platform is phenomenal to stay consistent. KickoffPersonalTraining is intuitive and inviting. Prior to kickoff I was already very active with going to the gym, rock climbing, hiking, and backpacking. However, having someone to organize me, reinforce the basics, and keep me accountable has been incredibly welcomed.

Jessi Harrington is my personal trainer. She does a phenomenal job keeping up with all my goals and ensuring my progress is in mind. She’s added some amazing workouts that I haven’t considered which is definitely adding to my success.

Overall I’m a big advocate and would consider this for any lifestyle or anyone who wants to achieve more.

I love this program. It’s the perfect compromise for me between working out on my own and getting a personal trainer. The way I exercised before was kind of haphazard and inconsistent; Kickoff gives me the structure and discipline I need to keep it up. I’m 53 and in the best shape I’ve been in in a long time! My teenage son is also signed up and happily sticking with the program. What makes KickoffPersonalTraining so successful is the personal connection with an experienced trainer who plans your workouts with your input, makes adjustments as necessary, gives injury prevention advice and generally encourages you to stick with it. So lucky we found this!

I usually don’t write reviews, but since this is a startup company I really want to encourage people to try it. I’ve been on “health kicks” before but they have never lasted, but the accountability aspect provided with the personal trainer has completely changed that. I’ve been working out and eating healthy consistently for months now and I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been. I also love the format. It’s very organized. I’ve always hated workout videos, but with KickoffPersonalTraining they lay out all the exercises, reps, and weights, so it’s very easy to follow and you can do it at your own pace. I’ve been doing exercises that I never would’ve done in the past and they’ve proven very effectice. It’s a little pricey for me at $90/month, because I’m only 20, but it’s proven to be a fantastic investment for my health. And apparently that is much cheaper than many personal training programs. Highly recommend!!!

I have tried in-person and online weight loss coaches and fitness trainers. It’s always either of subpar quality or out of my price range and therefore not sustainable. Kickoff offered
different levels of service at various prices to select from. KickoffPersonalTraining is user friendly, and the coach I was assigned to is very well matched for my needs. I am really pleased with Kick-off. My coach reads my food and exercise logs daily and keeps in touch, posts work out videos for me, and we are meeting 2 x weekly for training via videoconferencing. The logging isn’t tedious and time intensive like other apps I have tried, but definitely gets the job done. 5 stars here from me!

I have been so happy to find this amazing program and a coach that makes my exercise more effective. I was looking to move to online training in the wake if COVID-19 and an increasingly hectic schedule. Coach Tayler and the Kickoff app have more than exceeded my expectations. I hear from him every weekday, get great feedback on diet and exercise, and I don’t need to worry about planning my daily workouts or how to correctly up my reps and weight. I appreciate the step by step demonstration of each workout, the built in timing, and the simple interface. Best of all is working with a responsive coach who knows what they are doing. Tayler has helped with an old shoulder issue and really improved my strength and eating. I love the results!

I’ve have been training with kickoff for almost two years now. My trainer helps me achieve my goals and keep track of things with the kickoff app. Each week I receive my plan for the week and I can adjust if I need.
Jennifer is my trainer and she continues to challenge me each week. She has conversations in person( on zoom) or with texts that help me see where I need to make changes and where I have been successful.
Working on nutrition has been a challenge . Not always easy to keep track of every meal! But KickoffPersonalTraining helps and then Jennifer can offer suggestions!
I have noticeable strength in my legs and arms . I will continue to work on better nutrition. Visibly seeing it on KickoffPersonalTraining helps me see I need to still make some changes!

I will try to keep this as short as possible as I could write a book about my experience so far.
KickoffPersonalTraining itself is great, easy to work with, love the timer and ability to adjust the time or sets! The program is beyond amazing! Specifically my trainer, Chelsea, an incredible person who I feel completely comfortable with which is very important when it comes to personal trainers. I have two chronic health conditions that have negatively impacted me for too long. She is helping me take back control of my life.

This is not a typical “here’s your exercises have a good week” Chelsea and I text daily! She takes my opinions on the exercises seriously and has been trailering the routines for me when needed. Never has made me feel anything but supported. Thank you Kickoff and more importantly THANK YOU CHELSEA.

I’ve been training clients through kickoff for over a year now. I love the flexibility of being able to work from home while also being a stay at home mom. I’m able to individualize my clients workouts and send meal suggestions/feedback on their food choices. I feel I’m able to help many different people across many different levels which keeps things fun and interesting for myself. The only drawback I’ve had is the calorie/macro tracking. I give my clients a range to stay within, but it is up to the client to figure out what macros/calories are in each food item, which makes it a little challenging for the client when tracking food. Overall, it’s a great platform and I love being able to help people on their fitness journey ☺️

I have used Kick Off fr the past month with Alyssa. It has been such a positive experience to be motivated by such a professional, experienced, empathetic coach! She listened and understood my unique lifestyle and goals and helped me achieve important physical and nutritional milestones. She was attentive and patient and gave me very specific plans that suited me perfectly. I can tell that she is well educated in the field and yet was never intimidating. I recommend her without reservation!
