OLIE: Choose You Reviews

by Arho89

Simple and elegant design! Love the calendar idea so you can track your workouts and progress. Few things:

1. You should be able to see your past reps and weights should carry over to the next time you do that particular exercise in the program without having to look back and go into the exercise to see

2. Would like to be able to preview the exercises before adding them to my calendar

3. The timer for my workouts stop if I hit back for any reason and it keeps my workouts but the clock starts over. Not a big issue but would be nice to fix.

4. You have to click through each exercise and each rep which can be a little annoying. It would be better if it automatically went to the next exercise.

5. Wish I could add a few warm ups instead of just one.

6. Journal entries should also have a section just for free writing instead of three things you’re grateful for.

Thanks for OLIE !

I used this for 2 weeks and loved it. My life situation changed and I stopped working out.
A few months later my membership auto-renewed and the cancellation process is very difficult!
I’m logged into OLIE , but can’t cancel from there. When I tried logging into the website I had the wrong password, I clicked “forgot password” and didn’t receive an email, not even in my junk folder, I tried 3 times over 3 days.
I contacted support and they’re saying I need to manage the cancellation from my Apple subscriptions. I have only 1 apple subscription and it’s not this app (it’s my security cameras). I’m stuck, no help, and won’t be using OLIE but know I will have to pay for the renewal because I couldn’t cancel in time. I just hope I can get this cancelled before it renews again, I’m not too hopeful though.

I think Jessica this app is terrific and I love that she’s created this. She truly cares about helping people be successful at their fitness goals. I agree with another reviewer that I wish the workouts would just flow through and you can have the option to pause instead of having to click on each individual set the whole way through. If that does happen in an update I’d also love the option of choosing how long I want to rest for. 40 seconds between each and every exercise wasn’t quite necessary for me so I’d love maybe a 15 or 30 second preset option.

Not one to normally follow an online program, I’m usually fine doing my own thing! But I’ve loved this so far. It helps keep me organized and it’s satisfying to press “complete” on different exercises! I feel very balanced after each session.

I wish there was a way to recall what my past workouts looked like. As I play with the increased reps and weight, I know I will need the reminder of what my previous session looked like rather than the default rep settings and 0kg/lbs.

First off I want to say that I really really enjoy OLIE. It’s lovely and really helpful considering I do not have access to a gym right! And I can already say my splits are getting better!

My only complaints are the timer seems to just not work sometimes. Even if I reset the timer. Close it out or anything else for some reason the timer just stops working when I’m doing workouts.

My other one is that for some reason when I try to move a workout to another day or delete the workout it doesn’t work. I go through the process of moving the workout and it moves or deletes but then OLIE maybe like glitches and adds it back on to the same day I just moved it from.

Otherwise OLIE is amazing! Thank you Jess!

I’m glad to have finally found a program that has the best of both worlds: strength training and yoga. The workouts are challenging but manageable, which keeps things interesting but allows me to stay consistent.

The only thing I wish is that OLIE had the ability to keep my phone from sleeping while a workout is going and that the timer would continue going all the way through the workout/exercises instead of turning off after the rests. It would be way more convenient for a seamless workout instead of continually having to restart the timer for the next set of reps.

I look forward to using OLIE and seeing all the ways Jessica continues to support our fitness journeys!

I really like OLIE. My biggest complaint is the timer. I think it’s a great tool, but it constantly resets. If anything else on my device happens to close out OLIE the timer stops and I lose my place in the clock. Really frustrating since we can’t add to it manually.

Other than that it’s great for people who travel. I am a flight attendant and I use OLIE at home and while I am on the road. It’s so nice to be able to switch out movements based on what I have available to me and there are so many choices!! Its basically everything I could have dreamed up.

Really looking forward to what Jess and her team come up with in the future!

I’ve been following Jessica on Instagram for a few years now. I love her workout style - a little bit of yoga and strength training. Through her workouts I have FINALLY mastered a headstand. Currently working on handstand and forearm stand. All around great workouts. I do wish there was a way to see the workouts before adding them to the calendar. I want to be able to pick and choose what work out I want before needing to add it. The calendar feels like it should be an extra bonus step if you want it, not a step you have to take. Overall, that simply and app detail and would still highly recommend this app if you’re looking to get into great yoga/fitness shape!

Idk if its a bug, but after 5 videos the timer stops digging (i checked my volume, ring, everything its something with OLIE ).
It be nice if I could choose at what point I want to rest, and not have the option to rest after every exercise. Also if when I press start to the exercise, if it starts automatically the exercise without me having to press the time on it.
If its reps on different sides, then the timer would be better if it example: 1min, at 30 dings to change side.

Other than that i love the yoga part and exercises in OLIE !!

by ChelleStein

Not only are there multiple guides to choose the level most appropriate for you, but Jess has included videos of each exercise so you know exactly what to do when you start your actual workout. Includes a calendar with your workout schedule based on the guide you choose, and you can adjust the default schedule to fit your schedule better. So many good things in OLIE!

I was having such a hard time getting back into fitness and making healthy choices but OLIE has truely helped me to WANT to go to the gym. Being more active (as well as knowing what I'm doing is legitimate) has also helped me to just stay more healthy in general. I've been following Jessica on instagram for years and was so excited when she came out with OLIE because I knew how dedicated she was to a healthy lifestyle and I knew I could learn a lot from her, which is standing true! I would recommend OLIE to anyone, being able to have yoga and weight training in one app makes me feel like I'm doing the most and best I can for my body. ❤️

I’ve been following Jess on her journey for the past couple years and I’m glad she put out OLIE! OLIE was easy to use and the workouts are very doable and challenging enough to make you feel stronger. I’m very excited to see where this takes me! (Also check out the yoga videos) hopefully I get my splits back with some help!!

by Taytumchristine

I’ve followed all her workouts and yoga routines for so long now and I was so excited she came out with a workout app. I immediately bought the year subscription and I am so happy I did! My legs are still sore from my workout but in the best way, the workouts are so simple but you can still feel how significant they are in your body. Definitely more than satisfied I’ve already recommended to 4 people!

I started using OLIE last summer to build confidence at the gym for strength training. I recommend this training program to everyone at any level. OLIE interface is so easy to use and the workouts are very effective! So far my body has built so much strength and my body is more toned and lean.

I just had a problem with my app not loading any of the workouts. Technology is wonderful when it works but very frustrating when it doesn’t. I worked with the this app customer service team and WOW they are so responsive and really made a big effort to help me troubleshoot the problem. Now my app and account are working again I am so excited to keep working towards my goals!

This is a beautiful app that gives an abundance of options and flexibility. Guides to help you reach your goals with the option to swap out exercises within a workout to suit your needs. The lifting and yoga balance helps strengthen AND lengthen leaving your body feeling fresh. I love the added touch of the daily journal to bring your mind into the equation as well. Bravo, this app! And thank you for continuing to make it an even better platform!

by Jills101994

Finally a workout app that is easy to use, easy to follow, has different levels of home and gym workouts, and is so customizable! I’m always excited to follow the workouts and the videos/descriptions make me feel confident in the gym when I’ve never used the machine before. Using the yoga plan along with the workout plan helps me with the soreness and tightness that usually follows workouts. Jess is amazing at teaching yoga and makes it easy for beginners. I can’t wait to finish the 12 week beginner plan and move on to the higher level workout plans!

There were a few hiccups on the launch date with accessing the materials but the support team swiftly helped fix the problem. And Jessica herself was reaching out and responding to personal messages which was SO kind. OLIE is absolutely beautiful and there is so much content. As someone who is new to lifting I find the layout very user friendly and the exercises are easy to follow along. I’ve read that some people don’t like that she doesn’t talk during the workouts but I personally love it because I can listen to music while I do the exercises. Well done, Jessica!

by DrSoggyFist

As a complete beginner to fitness and having only dabbled in the most basic of yoga exercises, I was extremely nervous about getting into this. But OLIE! I love that there are different levels for all stages of fitness experience, I love that I can choose programs for the gym or that I can do at home, I love that I can pick a yoga guide to complement my workout , and probably my favorite is that there is a place for daily journaling. Not only does OLIE give you what you need to strengthen your body, but your mind as well. I’m excited to keep on this journey and get stronger every day! 10/10 would recommend!

I have purchased so many apps/ programs the past year so I can work out at home and finally at the gym, but none of them keeps me going - cos it was always one or the other. Life happens and we can’t really follow on daily, what I love about OLIE is the intention behind it. You can move/edit your workout schedule and you can get back on the routine. Also having the option for home and the gym was really convenient especially during these uncertain times. I am so glad I found OLIE, I’ve gained confidence working out at the gym again and i’m more motivated to achieve my fitness goals.

The best workout app I’ve tried (and I’ve tried MANY!).
I’ve always struggled with going to the gym alone because I’m not sure what to do exactly/ the perfect form for all exercises, so I end up just doing cardio, which is great but isn’t helping me get fitter or stronger!
The this app app is like having a personal trainer, without having to pay insane prices. I feel confident in the gym, and I’ve felt so amazing after my first two workouts and can’t wait to continue 😁
