Leave a Review Gym Plan
Nice to get started but not a long term thing
Ive been using gym plan for three months. I feel like the workouts for women are very boring and not challenging enough. I switched to men’s workouts and it fills maybe 30 minutes of gym time and just very whatever. I dont like that i cant create my own workouts with full control over the choice of movements. I always have to use their plans no matter what. My gym doesn’t have all the equipment and when I go to change the movement i still have to pick from whatever they’ve decided is an acceptable replacement. Sometimes I just do not want to go to the free weights area so i skip the movement, or just do something else and check it off anyway. They updated the app but made it harder to use- changing the movement is more annoying now. It’s becoming pointless so i am canceling. I just want more freedom.Show lessBoobies1234556790873895

Thank you for the review, this is all good feedback for us.Changed my life. No joke.
I’ve always wanted to get in shape. It’s been at the top of every new year’s resolution list I’ve had, but once I got to the gym, I had no clue where to go from there. In October of 2020 I saw a video of myself and knew I had to make a serious change once and for all. I found this app and decided to give it a try. Paid for a month and started playing with all the goals and started following a 13 week plan. I followed the recommended calories and worked out 6 days a week. 6 months later and this app legit changed my life. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in and have created healthy habits in the gym and the kitchen. The support through this app is amazing. I have reached out several times with silly questions about exercises or calories or whatever and they always get back to me in a timely manner. I’ve had tons of people ask me what app I’m using and I’m so happy to share. Thank you guys for creating something that sticks. Oh! And I’m loving the new updates!Show lessNikkiLeeDesign.com

It's great to hear how the app has had such a positive impact on your life and we're really pleased to have you as a member. Thank you for the awesome review, happy you like the new update...there's still more to come too ;)Starting to feel redundant
I’ve had this app for a while and have loved it except over the last few months I haven’t wanted to use it. Granted my gym is still closed, but I rely on this app that I paid a year for to provide me workouts to utilize. The “at home” workouts feel so redundant. They’ll have “4-week dumbbell plans” that are literally the same workouts every week, which gets boring really fast. Then, the length of the workouts are Soooo off. It’ll say it’s a 30 min circuit and from start to finish, I’ll be done by 25 mins. If it says 60 minutes, I’ll be done in 30-35 minutes and that includes rest times. So it feels like false advertisement because some people aim to workout for specific periods of time and I always end up having to find TWO workouts in the app to do. Last, even when I create a “custom” workout plan with specific body parts each day, it somehow picks other body parts for me instead. If I’m scheduled to hit legs for 60 mins, it gives me 20 mins legs and 20 mins abs. Or if I select triceps, shoulders, chest (push) for one day, it’ll give me back, arms and shoulders. Idk, it needs some serious work before I plan to renew it in the future.Show lessNatalieTk

We really appreciate your support of the app Natalie, thank you. Leave the circuits to us, we have something cool to fix and we'll also be improving on the builder. Thank you for the feedback.Gym intimidation GONE!
This app is amazing and is helping me change my life by changing my habits.
First of all, I have always used a hodgepodge of free running and exercise apps but have never stuck to a routine or accomplished much. So when my insurance offered a gym special, I decided to put all the pieces together for once and get fit now that I’m 30. I thought about a personal trainer but first wanted to get my feet wet with an app trainer. Now that I’ve been using Gym Plan for 3 months, I know I won’t need a trainer anymore- this is the answer!
The gym is no longer intimidating. This app has videos to show you exactly what to do and coaching if you still need it. As a woman in a gym for the first time, that made the difference of me going vs not going.
Another great feature is how customizable the app is in terms of workouts. You scroll through what type of workout you want to do or what you want to target. There are tons of ‘plans,’ you can pick one or more than one and then edit the order the workouts will appear in. So for example, I have a gym plan and a home strength with barbells plan running simultaneously, and alternate the workouts. Also, you can customize within the workout if something is too challenging, too many or not enough reps, etc.
If you are like me, $8/month might sound like a deal breaker but I promise you it’s not if you need help getting fit and sticking to a plan. Try it!!Show lessJackie.kw

Nothing more inspiring than hearing the app has had such a positive impact on your training and got you over the gym intimidation. Thank you so much for the amazing review, we massively appreciate it.Finally feel good in the gym again
I participated in competitive sports all through grade school and college. After graduating, I was completely lost in the gym since all my workouts had always been organized for me. I am athletic and fit but I suddenly felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I tried running, group fitness, CrossFit and finally landed on this app. I love that the plans are catered towards a real goal as opposed to just daily workouts. Too soon to see any actual results but I’m excited to find out. The only reason I knocked down a star is the lack of guidance on warm up. So many people (myself included) don’t warm up properly which really increases risk of injury when you are working with weights. Would be great to add a short suggested warm up in each of the plans.Show lessSLA321

Great to hear you've found the app valuable since graduating and that the app has helped with your planning. We do have some warm ups in the app, if you message us in the app chat I will send them to you! Thank you for the awesome review.Enjoyed but...
So I really enjoy this app but there is one major issue I have. When going through the intervals there is no rest period to change weights. By the time I put my weights down and pause the app the next exercise timer is almost half done. There is no way I would use the same weight for fly that I would use for biceps or over head presses. There needs to be a 30 second break between exercises to allow for weight change. Plus there are a lot of exercise plan that include barbells and I can’t save changes in advance for my workout that day. My evenings are very tight and I have little motivation to workout at night. If I have to sit down and program my workout right before hand because I don’t have the equipment then I’m not likely to get to it. What I like to do is plan during my work break and pull it up when I get home to workout before my evening chaos hits. Just my 2 cents.Show lessBCORI30

Lots of great feedback here, so thank you! We are constantly tightening up on the content, making it flow better and try to take into consideration gym layouts as much as possible. If you need any help in choosing some specific to yourself, please let us know in the app chat we'd be happy to help. Thanks for the review too!works well with Apple Watch!
I have tried several apps but none of them had great integration with Apple Watch. This app allows you to log weights and track your workout on the watch which is truly convenient when it comes to doing tri set when you no longer have to operate your phone to change exercises .the_one_01
Motivational!
From March to end of July my health was not picture perfect from a medication I was put on. I was, actually AM an active young adult. I’m a amateur runner. During those months I couldn’t run or workout. Now that I’m off the medication I feel like my old self again. My health is back on track and better than ever. This app has truly gotten me back. I was nervous on the investment but beyond thankful for it. I’ve been able to get a true workout in 5-7 days a week. This app gives me so many options for different forms of workouts. I look forward everyday to workout! The coaches are great with tips/tricks/ and importantly encouragement! I feel so great after each workout even if it kills me from intensity!Show lessJessie <3 <3<3,<3
Great app!
I struggled with knowing what to do in the gym. This app breaks it down for you in a simple plan. You can choose how many days you want to work and the app will automatically give you a routine. You have different types of Workouts you can choose from for men and women. But the thing I like the most about this app is that it starts you off with simple exercises. I don’t feel discouraged because I can’t do them and look forward to exercising. Plus there is a coach available to answer any questions that you may have.
It’s definitely worth a try!Show lessHotRod2011
-Absolutely the BEST
This app should be more popular!
I mean the layout is simple and has such a nice organizational structure to it! (That’s completely self editable) I have looked at other apps but this one really gets together a plan for you that will have you ready to hit the gym and get it done. To be able to choose your target muscles and organize it in the weeks and order you want is one of the things I love so much about it. I just can’t leave this app. I’m definitely going to keep using it throughout my whole process of my transformation with my body and even afterwards. Love the check off in the workout to help keep up with your sets during your workout. I mean I just love EVERYTHING about this app. Really is hands down the best and I’m so glad such a workout/gym planner like this one was made. You’re awesome guys.! Thank you! 👏🏻💪🏻🤩Show lessdestineeperez380
