Pull ups: 20 pull-ups trainer Reviews

by CincyD

I bought Pullups in a pack to start working out again. After the last update they now are charging for everything past week two calling it “premium”. I was already past week 2 and now have no access to the workouts. I want my money back.

I bought Pullups. Used it for a couple years. Loved it. Then with the latest updates I no longer have access to anything more than the free trial version. There is no way to restore purchases. There is no way to go back to a version in which I can use more than 4 days of workouts. I just opened it one day and it was all gone. I bought this. One of the few apps I’ve bought. I get updates are necessary, but if you own it it should be yours and you shouldn’t be updated out of ability to use. When a new car model comes out the dealer doesn’t come and repossess your car and make you re buy your car back. Bad business.

Pullups says 0 to 20 pull ups and offers a beginner level. However, they don't tell you there is NO instruction or training involved unless you consider stretching a form of training.
If you can magically go from 0 to 6 pull-ups after stretching 5 min., go for it.
I purchased the 10K running app and like it a lot but doubt I'll purchase anything else for fear the rest are all scams like the pull up app.

I love the push up app as it helps build functional strength even if you can't do a push-up. Pullups on the other hand, I can't even start. I'm a normal weight female on the stronglifts 5x5 program. I struggle with upper body strength. I finally graduated to the barbell (45lbs) for the overhead press. I'm sad that they couldn't put together some pre-beginner program. Some comments state that you should try losing weight if you can't do a pull-up. Obviously they hadn't accounted for thin, high estrogen females with most muscular mass in the lower body! Please take us into consideration. You have to start somewhere!

I use this with the easy pull ups bar. It helps me stay on track building strength.

Consistency is important in making big gains in anything. Pullups isn useful in keeping a routine and providing the details.

I'm in college athletics and I use Pullups to train out side of practice and can tell how much my form and strength have improved

Cheap and functional--they all show each others' histories so you can see what is up for today.

I was very skeptical of Pullups but it has worked great. I’m doing more pull-ups than ever before.

I don't mind doing push-ups when prompted by Pullups , because it tells me "great job" when I'm done.

It’s simple, fun, and it works. Best pull up app period.

Only problem is that there’s no “Part 2” - so I can’t advance past intermediate.

You make a great extreme version of your Pushups app (Push-ups XT)… why not an extreme version of this app, as well, with a specific goal of helping people get to 20 consecutive pull ups?

You can do eeeeet!!!!

The pacing of Pullups is effective, motivation badges are rewarding, and I love that I can listen to my music while I work out. I don't need nor want my hand held with a bunch of fluff.

Been doggedly staying with Pullups. Cranking out 30+ pull ups a day and only half way through intermediate level. Thankful for the systematic approach and that it takes all the calculations for me including rest so I can focus on the awesome pain.

This is a simple way to gain. It is successful in that simplicity which makes it easier to stick with it. Invest in these apps and yourself! Well done, y’all!

Starts off easy and builds up! Recommend for anyone trying to increase the pull ups in a motivating fun way !

Wished they could include a separate window for chin ups or a whole new app dedicated to that, would even be a huge plus if they added weight addition to it!!!

All of the Fitness 22 apps are great. This one focuses on pull-ups and does require you to at least be able to do one to start. Stick with the training and you'll start to see results in a very short period of time. Easy to go backwards too in case you take some time off.

Really good app if you already can do about 5 pull-ups. If you're just starting out, it still will work but you will have to get some assistance to start. Give it a shot, pull-ups are one of the best full upper body workouts.

by BonzoCarp

Only a few days in; but I like it! Would be nice to change the number of reps done (if you do more or less than the prescribed amount) so you can look back on your progress.

It has a solid plan to get you doing pull ups. I just started it, but am already liking it. Remember, muscle building is a journey, not a destination. Stick with this plan and you'll get there.

Stick with this program and it makes you strong. I'm a flabby dude at 237 pounds and I just did 8 pull ups following the directions Pullups gives.
