TrainHeroic: Strength Training Reviews

-after having to login again because their backend broke I had to enter certain information TrainHeroic could have saved on my device the first time. Just have me login and show my workouts
-app does a poor job not keeping my exercise notes during a workout. Which means I have to write each note at least twice. Very irritating
-I’ve had the splash screen come up before during each launch with the continue button. At least they got rid of that

This is a great app for my trainer and I. But even after the most recent updates I feel like they are not running it through QA very much. No point in paying for extra features if they coexist with annoying bugs.

I have been working out for 2 decades on my own with less than stellar results. It only took me ONE session with TrainHeroic to realize that having a progressive, structured program has been the missing link. I’ve been amazed at how different my workouts feel as I’ve followed this program with trust and intention. I can’t believe the value of TrainHeroic, it’s literally like having a personal trainer and a cheerleading squad in my corner. Can’t wait to see my progress 💪🏼

First, TrainHeroic is amazing. The feature set is excellent, they're always improving on it, and I'm happy with the direction they're going in.

But on top of that, I've reached out twice with issues I've had and they respond immediately and fix my issues super quickly. That's amazing! I can't say that about any other apps I use.

And, cherry on top, I just found out they have a lot of women on their development team, which rules. As a woman who works in tech, I really appreciate that.

My work uses TrainHeroic to consolidate physical train. I have been working out for most of my adult life. The combination of the TrainHeroic and my trainers have made the difference in my over all fitness. It’s great to be able to look at old or previous workouts to see where one was and map out where they want to go. Furthermore, when I need to change a portion of the workout, it’s done with a few taps of the screen. I am a huge fan.

TrainHeroic and programming is well suited for me . I’m currently 52 and I’ve been using this particular program since the CrossFit football days . I’ll just say it has been 5 years plus .0 The programming is sound however it’s on you to put in the time and sweat . It’s either a priority or it is not . If gardening is your priority then do that . If wanting to be fit and strong is your priority then this is for you . Not a lot of over head squats but there are some . Be Smart modify where you need to . Ask questions . Most importantly do it !

After taking 5 years off from regular training and lifting. I found it difficult to jump into the swing of things until I started using the this app app. I am becoming the best version of my gym self despite my new limitations. Thank you Morgan for helping make my transition back to working out fun and easy.

TrainHeroic is great for logging, but could use some usability improvements. I really wish it would not just tell me what day of the split it is, but what week it is on. I am using a 3 phase powerlifting program so it would be great to know what phase and what week I’m on. It would also be very helpful to be able to see my whole week all at once at a glance instead of having to see day by day. Don’t need to be able to log numbers in this view, but would be helpful to see

TrainHeroic is pretty good. For the most part I like it and have had very few issues. The updates have been useful. However... the new PRO feature that displays how you ‘StackUp’ is ridiculous. Telling me how I stack up on a 12rm (that was nowhere near a max) on single leg RDLs is just stupid and it’s on every exercise on every workout. Talk about distracting! That’s cool that it’s recorded and I can see it but please get it off my workout screen. I don’t max out every exercise every day.

TrainHeroic has been nice to track progress and sessions, but I have a few grievances.

1) It would be exceptionally helpful to be able to access programs and account management from TrainHeroic , or at least have a link to simplify the process. I often find myself signing in 7 different ways between TrainHeroic and webpage to fix my billing information.

2) Does everyone have the issue where music stops whenever they open TrainHeroic or start a new workout?

3) I should be allowed to edit and/or use a new working max for my percentages with each workout/movement. I can’t tell you have many times the calculations are wrong, based off another movement, or use some 6 rep max algorithm.

Otherwise, keep up the good work. It’s just minor things that are keeping this from being a great platform.

I got TrainHeroic because I am doing a 12 week training program LGMF, when I signed in, I had to go to an obscure section to load the training into my calendar. Because I had to activate it which makes sense so you only get it for 12 weeks but it could have been easier. TrainHeroic itself is great little video clips show you the exercises, different timers, fill in as you go like a training log. Love it!

It’s super hard but better then I have been to other gyms before. Paul there is the greatest trainer you would ever know and trust. He is very inspirational and gives you pointers and ideas to help you out with anything you need and want. He is also very catering about what you need for you to eat in nutrition diet.

App is good for the most part. However, the most recent change to how you re order exercises doesn’t really make sense. If you have a list of 10 exercises to re order, you now have to choose every single exercise in an order to set it.

Before you could pick the first 3 or 4 ( for a warm up for example) then the others would auto sort depending on order they were chosen (makes more sense)

Not sure why the change.

Every time I navigate away from TrainHeroic it has to reload my workout which takes 5-10 seconds. This includes if I switch to my music, send a text, or lock my phone. Also when I enter my numbers or check a workout as complete it takes a few seconds to register, and sometimes doesn’t show it after I lock my phone and reopen TrainHeroic . Overall probably wastes 10-15 minutes a workout. I would not use if it weren’t for my trainer loading my workouts on here.

Love TrainHeroic , was assigned it as part of a program at pro x and have very pleased. The only thing that I would like to know is if there is a way to stop a session. For example I have accidentally started sessions a few days before I should have and the clock will just keep going.

This is the best fitness and tracking app I have ever used and I have used most of them. I’ve been with TH close to their inception as a customer and have seen their app progress through the years!

Unbelievable customer support with a very friendly, knowledgeable and supportive staff.

UI is perfect, don’t change a thing! TrainHeroic has greatly improved my training journey over the last few months. I wouldn’t consider using anything else at this point. Thank you TH team 💪🏽

Horrible interface, makes it impossible to search and purchase programs. Spent so much time troubleshooting issues. What a waste of time. How can you make it so difficult for someone to spend money on your app? Was kicked out of a program after a trail and not even given an option to purchase the monthly program, even after logging back in and searching multiple times and ways. Such a disappointment.

TrainHeroic is pretty good. Been using it for about 6 months to train my clients and they love it. The only thing I would add is a way for clients to pay their coach directly through TrainHeroic .

Side bar: will there be a way to add “cluster sets” and “drop/add sets” in the near future?

I like the tracking features of TrainHeroic but the commenting needs work. There are times where I’ll attempt to comment and nothing posts, but then also my text will disappear and I have to rewrite everything, sometimes it even crashes on me because I try to comment. It’s tedious and annoying.

I’ve been using It since the beginning of the year and It’s been a cool app. The in app timer (overall session) consistently resets or just disappears from the top right of the screen and stops counting. I’ve seen other complaints regarding this issue and it still hasn’t been resolved. It definitely has some very cool features and a variety of programs.

I’ve been using TrainHeroic for over a year. During this time, I have made numerous suggestions for improvement to this app and they have listened to me and my coach and our suggestions every time. We are seeing updates within a day or two of making suggestions. It only gets better and better. From my perspective (athlete), I am totally satisfied. I love using TrainHeroic in my weight lifting but it has many applications beyond that sport. I also use it for running programming. So much more to say but I am very impressed with their responsiveness and desire to be the best.

TrainHeroic is simple, clean, and easy to use. It doesn’t distract me from my workout and it has everything I need. There have been a few times when I thought I had an idea for an improvement and then I looked a little closer and sure enough, TrainHeroic already had that feature. I especially like the ability to switch between kilograms and freedom units on the fly.
Thanks for a great app

Train Heroic is top notch for both Athletes and Coaches! Super user friendly, records the correct metrics and provides a platform for my athletes to interact whether they are in the gym or traveling. The staff has a relentless pursuit of perfection and will provide input at the drop of a hat. Highly recommend and couldn’t be happier with the services they provide.

Train Heroic is fantastic and their customer service is outstanding. As an online coach, coaching individuals around the world, Train Heroic enables me to put together great workouts for each athlete. And as a coach, having the ability to communicate with each athlete, analyze Team metrics and more, helps to bring even greater success to each athlete. Train Heroic is top notch and TrainHeroic enables us to continue to build great, Community, Collaboration & Competition®!

I am a S&C coach with several different sports teams to oversee. this app is by far the best way to write, manage, and report team speed-strength programs. The athletes love tracking their data on their own mobile device or on the team iPad. The sport coaches are always impressed the data reports I send them. I use it for individual/private clients as well. All in all this is the best tool for S&C coaches available.

this app has made it easier than ever for our locations nationwide to implement Parisi programming. The user-friendly interface has been a major upgrade for our facilities, loved by both coaches and athletes. The easy-to-use calendars save our owners and coaches valuable time that they can use to continue building their business and engaging with clients.

this app has improved VASTLY over the last year. You owe it to yourself to try it again if you’re a former user who left. The system is great now, and I wish I had access to it back when I was a collegiate coach. Working at a private facility now, my job would be significantly harder without it and my athletes wouldn’t get nearly the same results.

TrainHeroic is great for your daily workouts. It’s easy to keep track and check off what you’ve done and see what you have coming up. Being able to see videos of people demonstrating the correct way to do the workout is extremely helpful when trying new moves. Looking forward to a new year with this app!

Had some difficulty with updating working maxes and numbers, which led me to logging in to the website on a browser to fix. After fixing the numbers, my workout percentages didn’t change so I had to do the math myself. Not a big deal but maybe it’s something the tech savvy people at TH could work on.

If you’re looking for a company that will work with you, hear what you need, and integrate smart new features and steady intervals, you have found it. The interface is simple on the front end and my athletes love it. The backend is complex enough to fit a wide range of athletic backgrounds.

All around amazing app. Great programs from legit strength coaches. There’s definitely a program for everyone. Full tracking of historical weights to track progression, in app calculator to help gauge weight, helpful videos for reference, prompt customer service. It’s bigger than training, it’s a lifestyle!!

Definitely a good platform to use for 1on1 and group coaching. There are certainly more features they could use, such as diet & habit tracking or even make it customizable to what you want to track. But what I like the most is their service and constant evolving for improvement.

TrainHeroic has streamlined my client’s ability to log their workouts. this app allows for demo videos for all exercises without creating a mess. If your coach has you programmed on this app, you’re going to have the tools you need. Happy lifting!

TrainHeroic is so easy to use and it keeps all of your stats and it’s really easy to look up your last weights/records for exercises completed. Honestly best personal trainer/workout app on the market!

I’ve been using TrainHeroic for two years, and it’s an amazing way to track progress and ensure I’m making gains. The videos are helpful to ensure I am doing exercises correctly. TrainHeroic is a game changer!
