So convenient
I’m really enjoying Glo. I have done pilates in the past but have fallen off the waggon after having a baby. This is an easier way of getting back into it without having to subscribe to someone else’s timetable (I already have to do that with my baby!)
Great- but do NOT pair with your Apple Watch
I have loved Glo for 8 years, and have used it almost daily during that time. It’s truly been a lifesaver since the pandemic. I tried using the app with my Apple Watch to streamline my workout/fitness documentation hoping it would build on my previously great experience. Sadly it’s so disappointing. The past few app versions have had very poor streaming with the app frequently crashing. Most frequently though, I use my iPhone to stream a class and when it’s done, swipe up anc lose the Glo app to make sure the time is logged correctly. BUT the app still runs on my watch, opening by itself and prompting me to select a class. Even when I push the dial and “close” the app on my watch it still logs it as “workout” time. My rings are messed up, my fitness times log workouts of sometimes 30+ hours. It’s useless now. After submitting multiple service tickets to Glo, I’ve updated both my Phone and Watch and it still happens. Please fix this! 🙏

The one app that keeps me grounded and learning
I’ve been using Glo classes close to every day for just over ten years, through injuries, awesome strength-training sessions and grumpy PMS days. It’s a real privilege to have great teachers like Jason Crandall, Dice, Annie Carpenter and Seane Corne with me on my mat every morning. Glo is amazing if you want to have a consistent life long yoga practice.

A lifeline for yogis
This has been a staple of mine for 6 years now, since doing a training with Kia Miller and wanting to carry on seeing her every day!! Since then I’ve used it almost daily and would not be without it. I’ve delved into many other teachers and styles, and my habits have changed since becoming a Mum and I cannot practice for as long. There is something for everyone and everything on here. First class. Huge gratitude. ♥️

Amazing
I can’t say enough good things about this app. When people see the 21 dollars a month or the whopping 259 plus tax yearly membership they are probably like me and are like dang way to much but honestly it’s so worth it. All the yoga studios around me are 120 bare minimum here in Canada and this was a no brainer for me to get. It’s all about where you are in your life. If you can afford it do it! So nice to be able practice yoga where ever you are due to the download feature when you can’t access wifi/data services. They have beginner classes all the way to advance. If you only have time for 15 mins they have those classes too. Honestly though if can’t afford this yoga with bird has some great free options on her YouTube page :) Namaste everyone!

The Best of the Best
Glo is the best yoga and meditation app out there. In the past, I have bought over 10 memberships to real gyms and yoga studios thinking I’ll commit, but I just never get there or get bored. With Glo’s variety, convenience and extremely good price for the quality and quantity they offer - I have had my longest membership ever (over 2 years)! Thanks Glo and I highly recommend.

Yoga for all levels
I have tried more than a few home workout apps during the pandemic and this is by far the best. It has an excellent selection of programs for all fitness levels as well as options for class durations. Programs include conditioning (hiit), strength (body resistance to light weights) and of course, all types of yoga (flo/core/stretching). I was a total yoga beginner and now, a year into my practise, I have never felt stronger. I finally get why people love yoga and make it a way of life. The instructors are very knowledgeable and relatable. To date, I haven’t encountered technical issues or glitches that others have reported.

Over featured, under powered and slow
This used to be a very good app with great teachers but the developers have loaded it with too many features so that if you’re at the edge of a network (I’m in the UK) individual classes take forever to load. The download feature was meant to fix this by letting you store classes on your phone or tablet and avoid long wait times. Unfortunately downloads are also very slow and downloaded classes are wiped off your device if you log out and after 30 days without any warning.

Big fan, but wish the app would take better care of personal noted
I’ve subscribed to YogaGlo since 2012. It was really good then, and it’s only gotten better since. Although the number of teachers has grown a lot, I find myself going to the same 4 teachers. And even though I do end up repeating classes, there’s enough variety so that it never feels too repetitive or boring. The time flexibility makes it easy to maintain a regular practice.
I would give a 5 star rating but the app isn’t the greatest, and since this is an app store review, I’m deducting a bit for that. I use the note function to keep notes for myself about specific practices. A number of years ago, they did a refresh of the app and the note function was jettisoned. In the process, all of my carefully kept notes were deleted. A little while back, the note function was restored. I thought my notes would be safe, so I started to keep notes again. Recently, for some unknown reason, over half of my notes mysteriously disappeared. I’m disappointed to see this second loss of notes. I wish the people who handle the Glo app would do more to take good care of their users’ records.

Something for everyone.
I originally bought the glo app to use when traveling for work; during COVID it had become a life-saver! There are so many different teachers and styles of yoga you are sure to find a practice that works for you, and with classes from 15 to 90 minutes, you can always find on to work into your day. I’ve also started using it for weight training and meditation. When I had first purchased it, it seemed a little expensive, but I’ve ended up using it so much it’s been worth every penny.
