Contact Alive Support

I really like the workouts, but I think there are some easy ways to improve the usability of the app. One being that there is no guidance other than the videos, and sometimes there are hard to see details on the exercises and the form. And there are somethings that are important to help prevent injury (Ie should my feet be flexed? Should I engage my core?) I’ve never seen some of these exercises before and have had to google them to make sure I’m doing it right after experiencing pain in my knees and lower back, and I wasn’t.

It would also be really helpful, especially on the cardio workouts and the timed sets, if there was 3-5 seconds to transition to the next exercise and see what the next exercise it. When I’m supposed to go from a 30 second plank to a weighted squat, I lose 5 or more seconds of work checking which exercise is coming, getting up, grabbing my weights and setting into the exercise. Even just a verbal que of “prison squats, 30 seconds” would help transition faster. As much as I want to memorize the sets, I forget the order of things some verbal questions would be helpful for the days you need to keep moving and keep your heart rate up.

I really like the work outs my arms are still dead 2 days later, I just think for the monthly price, these are features a lot of other apps have that would really improve the usability.

Im still new to the app. I decided to try alive 2.0. Its great to have a program to stick to and follow along that was curated from a social media fitness person i am familiar with and trust that they put their all into the programs. I tend to overwhelm myself with trying to figure out what i should be doing at the gym and end up being all over the place instead of sticking to a plan and then getting discouraged.. so now with sticking to this that weight had been lifted. Im on week 2 & its been challenging but in the best way. Wish it incorporated abs and core more but i do like that there are also the separate workouts that you can do instead of a whole program so i think i will add that on my own once im a a couple weeks further into the plan. I would like if along with each workout there would be tips on better form or how to achieve optimal results (ex: powering through it fast, or going slow and steady, or holding each rep a cpl seconds, etc..), modifiers or alternate workouts if equipment isnt available.. & possibly show the main muscle groups targeted with each specific workout, but these are minor things & the app is already awesome without those suggestions but i think it would just add to the awesomeness. I really want to stay committed and get through the 10 week program. I will update with how i feel once ive completed it!

I love this app and I love the workouts! I downloaded this for the Alive Inside program since gyms are not open, there are lots of great and creative exercises that don’t need a lot of space to complete. Alive Inside 2.0 was just released too and it’s even better!! Gyms are still not open where I am, but I still feel stronger with the alive inside programs.

The only things preventing me from giving five stars are: 1. There’s a huge lag in the video when a workout starts, sometimes I have to wait for it to play so I can see/remember the move, then I’d have to restart the timer for that workout to do it; it wastes time. / 2. When there’s a right/left split there’s no time in between to switch so you lose a couple seconds on the other side. / 3. There’s too little time for set up between one exercise and the next, so again I have to reset the timer, otherwise I’d have to rush to set up for the next exercise and that’s probably even more stressful than the actual workout haha. Even five extra seconds would help!

Small issues, hopefully an easy fix, but it would make the app and workout experience better and smoother!
