Fitness Coach Reviews

I payed for the 3 month subscription and loved FitnessCoach . The problem came about after I bumped it up to a yearly subscription. I payed but then FitnessCoach acted like I wasn’t a subscriber and kicked me off. I checked to make sure the subscription processed and it did but FitnessCoach wasn’t processing it. I tried restarting my device, I tried deleting FitnessCoach and reinstalling. Eventually I canceled my subscription and asked for a refund. I tried again a second time with the yearly but again, it worked for two days before acting like I wasn’t a subscriber. I contacted Apple and followed their instructions to try and fix the issue but that did not work so I contacted FitnessCoach developer only for them not even being able to do anything at all as they “ don’t have access to personal accounts”. I had to unsubscribe again and ask for a refund. Such a disappointment. I really liked FitnessCoach while it worked but it is permanently deleted as a third time is NOT happening!

These kind of companies are aggravating me lately. They portray themselves as a “free” app on their promotions on tik tok, the most popular choice of social media currently, collecting tons of downloads. But it requires a subscription? I’m sorry? 3 days for free, then a $4 subscription. Which isn’t a lot. However, I guarantee you that a huge amount of the audience these creators targeted on tik tok cannot afford to spend an additional $4 every month (on something they were promised would be free) when minim wage literally doesn’t even meet living expenses; but I digress. You promoted your app, on a popular social media platform, saying it was free, and it requires a subscription. Would it be acceptable if Netflix advertised itself as a free service? No, because it requires a subscription and it is understood that false advertising isn’t cool? I’m not sure but thus is garbage and it’s rude.

TLDR: Angry gen-z telling you FitnessCoach isn’t free. It requires a subscription. Thx

i saw FitnessCoach on an add and i’ve been wanting to workout and be more fit lately so i get FitnessCoach thinking it’s free unless you want to buy the premium. i open FitnessCoach and it asks me a few starter questions and made a workout with good exercises to do. i look at all the exercises and run around the house trying to find dumbbells a jump rope and a yoga mat even though one of the questions was “do you have any equipment to workout with” and i chose the answer no. after thirty minutes of trying to find the things i go out to my backyard because it’s t he only place with enough room to workout. i go out even though it’s raining because i felt motivated enough to workout anyways because i just spent half an hour trying to find everything i needed. i set everything up outside and tap the “start workout” option and it immediately brings me back to the get premium tab. i thought it was just a glitch so i exed out of the tab and tapped the “start workout” option a second time, same thing. i soon realised that in order to start the workout i needed to buy the premium for 4.99  ͟pe͟r͟ w͟e͟e͟k͟. so there i am standing in the pouring rain in a tank top and shorts thinking i was going to be productive and workout for once.
i am very disappointed with FitnessCoach.

i see this on my ig page every day so I finally decided to try it out. I thought I was finally about to start something good for myself and I was really happy and excited, but then after I entered my requirements, I found out that I had to pay just to use FitnessCoach even though it’s widely advertised as a free app. This caused me so much stress and pain because now I have yo scramble online for a real workout plan. I hope FitnessCoach becomes free because if it doesn’t start changing, FitnessCoach will fail. This was so disappointing and took a toll on me emotionally because I thought I FINALLY found a way to do workouts correctly. False advertising. Scamming you into downloading so they get more money. I cant believe there are good reviews.

I am over weight for my age. So I put my goal weight as... well my goal weight. 70 lbs lighter than I currently am. And it’s promising me that I will be that 70 lbs lighter in 4 weeks. Only costing me a total of $21 to become the perfect person I wish to be.... just to anyone out there. I have never seen this kind of work done to lost 70lbs in a month. Unless I’m INSANELY overweight to which I’m not, I put my goal lighter than someone my age, height, and gender should be. Even then, I’ve seen it take longer. I tried the trial and the training is fine and dandy but no help to the rest of life. Like food, water, much of anything. And in reality I would probably spending quite a few months shedding off 70 lbs costing me way over $21. Let’s say even just 6 months. I’m looking at near $200. When I can get another app for $30 a year or weight watchers for $200 a year. Very strange to me.

So I haven’t even used FitnessCoach yet. I saw it advertise on Instagram and downloaded it. I chose “lose weight” as my goal. It let me pick multiple target areas. And it had a three day free trial and the after three days started at 4.99 a week, which I didn’t think was bad. So I did it. Then I started reading the reviews. One review mentioned it wouldn’t let them cancel their subscription and I immediately went in to see if it would let me change it, and it wouldn’t. I couldn’t even click on it. It also changed my goal from “lose weight” to “stay fit.” I was excited to try it, but when it comes to paying for it, I should have the ability to cancel whenever I wanted.

I decided to try out the free trial and wasn’t put off by the 4.99 subscription fee. But once I tried my first workout I noticed that the only way to view the actual workout it wants you to do is to watch a very small thumbnail that was only available from the main screen. Once I selected to begin the workout I was not able to see the actual moves anywhere which is fine I am sure for those who know these moves already but not so much for someone just starting out. I canceled my subscription for now and will continue to look for something else.

There are two ways FitnessCoach measures a workout, personal counting & a timer. I started a workout and did the 1st set of 20 they wanted but didn’t realize I had to hit forward to get to the next workout. The next workout was timed. With FitnessCoach being silent; there was no indication on time other than constantly looking at the screen. I would look up and it’s a totally different workout. The meal plan was a bonus, but it would be better if there were some sort of shopping list. It’s not a user friendly app. It’s got potential but lacks basic functionality.

I’m being very nice and giving it a 3/5. The work outs are great and the apps ability to track your work outs is awesome.
Sadly here’s where it loses 2 stars maybe 3 if I wanted to be really critical. FitnessCoach loads fine but the workouts for me only load half of the time. Most of the time if I’m able to even “finish” the work out it’s saying that I finished a 30 minute workout in 8 minutes. Most of my time is spent just trying to get the workouts to actually load and start like they are supposed to. This is very hard and discouraging for someone who is naturally lazy and just now finally working out after this long quarantine.
Don’t get me wrong I have enjoyed FitnessCoach and gotten some good workouts in the last few days since I started using it BUT I am paying for this service and the fact that it doesn’t even load or keep track of half of my workouts is pretty annoying.
I would love to do the special daily workouts but they don’t even open for me.
I really hope this problem is solved so I can continue to use FitnessCoach .

I couldn’t get FitnessCoach to load Trainer Fanny (she has less choosing her to train & this may be why - so had to switch to Sandra).
I did enjoy the warmup & workout & I do like the fact that I can sub one exercise for another. The sub choices were Easier, Recommended, Harder.
You can de-select equipment that you don’t have - not sure if that changes the workout to fit what you have/don’t have.
BUT during the Sessions the Countdown exercises move to the Rep exercises but you have to count your Reps AND you have to manually switch to the next Rep exercise; there’s no rep countdown & doesn’t automatically switch to the next for you which I didn’t like so much… I wanted to watch the trainer, synchronize my movements as best as I could, and get into the zone with my form & my music.
IMO the reps should count down either verbally or at least on screen - or at least have the option to choose that - and a person should only have to tap pause if they need more time.
I chose beginner bc I haven’t worked out in yearss and just assumed the trainers would have moved at an easier pace & if I needed more time i’d pause it to complete the exercise but that’s not the case.
There’s no explanation of form, the camera angles switch a bit much which changes the synchronized fluidity of the trainer’s movements.
Hopefully they read these and can improve on it!

Some times you might get sweating but it’s a really good work out I think all of you people reading this straight here I think it’s up to ages 10 and up so you can try this I know you can do this I believe in you I don’t really understand the meals on FitnessCoach but other than that it’s good you need to keep healthy drink lots of water eat a lot of healthy meals and I think you’ll be all right sometimes it might push you a little farther but that’s the goal and sometimes it might not push you far enough show me about you may have to adjust your settings but it’s a good app and I think a lot of other people should have FitnessCoach if you’re trying to look your best!😊😊😊😊😊

I am participating in the three day trial to see how I like the style of workouts it offers, and so far it is challenging but in a good way. My one gripe would be that there is no way to get a certain move within the circuit substituted. There are times when I can’t put too much pressure on my hands or I don’t have a wall available to me that the workout requires and I would have to skip it and this I feel like I’m not really completing the workout. Besides that I love the workouts, I also love the food suggestions, and how it has a lot of health stuff like water as well all in one app.

In my opinion Fitness Coach is great and the fees are no problem for me, the only problem i have to say is that im new to FitnessCoach & I am unfamiliar with some of the exercises it would be helpful if they added the video of the exercise to every exercise and not just some. Im not sure if its a bug or just a problem on my phone or if its FitnessCoach i wish they would fix that would make me complete the workouts so much easier but other than that its a great app!

I’m kind of surprised by all of the recent negative reviews. There are a lot of features in FitnessCoach. I really like that you can go with their plan for you or you can randomly decide to do something else. The workouts you can build from are good and well thought out.
They can be difficult. If you are not used to HIIT training or calisthenics then you may think the workouts are strange or not worth it for some reason. I don’t understand this. One reviewer said they are “fake” workouts. I have been doing similar routines although less structured on my own and have had good results. I am happy to have an app to keep things organized and keep my workouts fresh.
The instructional videos for each exercise are really awesome as well. So far it’s been a good purchase I’m on week 3.

Edit: You manage subscriptions inside of your Apple ID in settings. You can cancel the subscription outside of FitnessCoach . This is not uncommon, don’t blame the developer because you don’t know how to use your phone or google things.

I got premium thinking, “if I’m paying for it, I’ll probably have to do it more often” and that is honestly what got me going. I like that after each workout I can’t rate how I’m feeling. I also like the set up of FitnessCoach . I’m able to navigate it fairly easy. I also like that I can go at the pace of the person guiding it. I honestly don’t rate apps because it’s just not something i appeal to but this one deserves it. I genuinely like FitnessCoach a lot and it’s helping me stay in shape really well. I’m just trying to stay fit and get somewhat toned. When I tell you, “I’m close to getting my abs back” I am 100 percent ecstatic. Anyways it’s a killer app, the intensity levels can be adjusted and I don’t usually get premium for apps, but this one kinda required it, and I know that’s kind of annoying but it has really good guidance and if you’re into dieting as well, FitnessCoach has it. All in all, I highly recommend:). Good luck with your workout journeys and have a good day everyone:)).

FitnessCoach is amazing! It gives you workouts based on your schedule and body type. I’ve only had it for two weeks and I’m already seeing changes!!! The only critique I have is that maybe true meal plan could be free to everyone depending on how long it will take to get to their goal. Maybe if it takes half a heart then pay for the meal plan but if it’s something like two months make if free. Otherwise, if you’re trying to lose weight, FitnessCoach is for you!

I mostly use FitnessCoach for the healthy meal recommendations, but the recipes are getting weirder and weirder. I’m not sure if these are because of spelling mistakes or if the dishes are just too elevated for me? But I’m supposed to be making a “Buddha Bowl Thon” with “rapeseed oil” (please tell me it’s grape seed). Some of the recipes have these very pretentious names with ingredients they don’t sell in my grocery store. And I can’t go back to the recipes I used from the first few weeks because it just shows recipes for the current week.

Most of the reviews are saying that they are upset because of subscription fees but honestly I’ve been doing it for 3 weeks and it’s definitely worth it. I feel great after every session and I feel that it’s worth the money that I paid. I’m glad that this is working the way I expected it to. I only wish that the people in the reviews could get over the small fee. Most other fitness apps aren’t free either so I don’t see the issue. Over all, great app and I would totally recommend to friends and family.

FitnessCoach is a great app. Yet, I wouldn’t download it. I’m here to explain that, you can’t dislike FitnessCoach because it’s not free. Like, I understand you want it to be free so you can engage in it but not liking it because it’s not free is very dumb. It’s not a logical reason to not like FitnessCoach . FitnessCoach doesn’t provide free applications, and not everything in life is free. Giving bad reviews because of it is really immature. FitnessCoach is a great workout app and whether you can experience it or not, is not how you rate it. It’s the features in the subscription/app. Nobody said this was free. It’s your fault for assuming.

Just Great ! Hoping for a cheap yearly special though. But I will continue to use FitnessCoach. On day 5 of 3 of my challenges.. Great for moms , short 5 minute workouts & more etc .. The meals show you the pictures of the ingredients and simple recipes. I pair it to my Apple Watch and can control the workouts from the watch.. I can’t do that with any other program I have tried so far. I love the custom training, stretching, workouts that was pretty awesome. The Challenges are so easy and definitely challenges you to do more. I love how my goal of steps was already at 12,000 steps. I am still on the free trial and will be exploring more of FitnessCoach . Can’t wait ! So far 5 stars. Check it out .. Hope you enjoy!!! So I read some of the negative reviews.. nothing negative about FitnessCoach , just people didn’t like the cost. I choose the premium monthly rate . Not bad ! Cheaper than a gym and I don’t have to wear a mask to workout .. Thought I would give my opinion.. Have a great day!

If I can't listen to music during my workout, I'm out. Otherwise looked pretty good. Wouldn't pay for it though, even if music was working

I haven’t even been able to use FitnessCoach because every time I press start workout it loads for a bit then tells me oops an error occurred please try again. If I’m doing something wrong please give me a pointer and I have good internet connection too if that helps.

Don’t like it, doesn’t let me play music

The preview pages in FitnessCoach Store are NOT even in the actual app. There’s no nutrition, no search bar, no profile page. It’s completely false advertising! Also. There isn’t an “upgrade” option that would explain why I’m missing selections. This is weird. Plus, with the actual sessions/weekly programs. No sound with the exercise demo and the timer doesn’t make sense. The first exercise went on for over five mins. Didn’t move forward to the next. I had to manually click the next button. Doing this is disruptive to a workout. Like what the hell am I missing?!?
Other than that the quality seems really good but that’s worthless if FitnessCoach doesn’t match hats advertise.

There's a lot of stuff that's not in there, like there's no meal plans or library's or stuff like that, and theres no sound. Good idea, bad execution

It generally is what it says: workouts for you that you can follow along from home. But note: it’s NOT free. I used it one week and now can’t unless I subscribe. Also, you can’t search for exercises, and more important to me, during the workout, you can’t pause and get a tutorial on the exercise. (I tried tapping something that appeared to be an explanation of the exercise, and it just skipped me forward.) An extended trial period may have hooked me, but only one week free doesn’t reel me in.

Some people need weight loss and now they have to pay for good work outs that Is not good be nice plz 😔😔

There are no nutrition, library, or profile page. In your preview I see things that are not in FitnessCoach . Also FitnessCoach concept is really good but to make it better I think you should follow 8fit. I should be able to log outside activities and there should be a meal plan. But if you want to attract many users then make your app 100% free. Look at 8fit concept and design. I like your design too but add features like them.

Every time I re enter FitnessCoach a scholarship for FitnessCoach comes up telling me to pay after about a thousand times even if I press the x. ITS SO ANNOYING!!!!!

I would suggest that someone changes loose weight to lose weight in the goal settings:)

Hey guys im a girl who just wants to get a nice body and nice shape!and im just starting FitnessCoach and it works!no paying nothing just share what u want ur body to be like!

The only thing is is that you have to pay for more
