Very much worth it!
I have had this app twice now. It is amazing for so many reasons, but for me I love all of the options available for at home workouts. There is only one thing that i would really like to see updated with this app and that is the Apple Watch connection and tracking calories burned. When i open the app on my phone to start my workout it doesn’t connect with my watch and same for the other way around. It doesn’t connect with my phone if i open the app on my phone. That being said, at the end of a workout it does show up on my activity with the amount of time i was active but does not record calories burned during workout. Lastly, when i open the app on my watch, it doesn’t give me a warm up option at all. It just jumps right to the workout. So i always just use my phone. Once i finally leave the comfort of my home to begin working out in a gym again I’d love to just be able to do everything on my watch.
Overall, i love the workouts and how the app is set up. It makes it easy getting back into the swing of things and offers different levels of intensity. I just started back at the beginning of December and have lost a little more than 10 lbs just doing this in my living room!

The best workout app I’ve tried
This is the best app I’ve tried. I’ve used it for several years now and even before it was improved it was killer! They’re always updating to make small fixes and improvements too. It’s really practical at the gym or at home - I love that you can swap exercises mid workout if something isn’t right (eg you feel a niggling injury). I also love the freedom to try other programs and workouts, to swap between trainers and programs and the introduction of yoga and Pilates. So worth the money: I use all the weights and machines at the gym now without feeling self conscious and I have seen fantastic results. My fave is PWR, it’s been my most consistent program ever, but there’s really something for everyone here. Do it. It’s worth the small investment per month - way cheaper than a PT but gives you a great sense of direction and confidence in your workouts.

Great Program
I’m not one to go out of my way to write a review, but I love this program. I was very hesitant to buy it because I didn’t want to waste my money on something that doesn’t work. However, the program is designed to work with beginners either at home or in the gym depending on your comfort zone and you go from there. It builds each week and it makes you confident in yourself. I’ve been doing this program for about a year and a half and I look forward to working out because I feel strong. I used to hate going to the gym I would have to drag myself there and then once I got there I didn’t know where to start. I love this app because it tells you exactly what to do so you feel confident walking into the gym/ walking up to a machine you wouldn’t normally use because it shows you how to use it correctly. The weight loss wasn’t the thing I was looking for out of this program however, I lost about 8 pounds (I didn’t have a ton of weight to lose starting off) and my body is so much more toned. I am way more confident about myself than I ever have been before. I got my sister to join and she loves it too. They have so many different styles of working out all wrapped into this one app that you can choose from so spending the money is worth it!

Amazing review, Jules! This is exactly what Sweat is all about! Thank you for being such an amazing part of the community and we look forward to your future achievements with Sweat! 💙
LOVE!!! (With one small request)
I have been using this app for 3 years and love it! I live remote in a community with no gym and so this app is absolutely perfect for me. I can’t wait to be back in the city and try the strength gym based programs!!!
Not long ago I was so excited when I tapped on trainers and saw that I could try workouts from different programs based. I could choose the workout from a specific week. The ability to mix up my training style through choosing the trainer, program and then selecting a week and a workout was a game changer. I love variety in my workouts so I continued this process, without have to change my program, which I was also following. Recently, I went to use this function but I can see it is no longer there :( instead, it give the option to “switch program”. I would LOVE to see the is function back in the app!

It’s like a PT in your pocket!
I love how easy the app is to use and how convenient it is. You can literally do it anywhere anytime and the steps are so easy to follow. It’s like having a PT there with you! There is so many programs to choose from and I absolutely love that you can still choose to do other exercises outside of your program with other trainers 😍 if you’re like me and not a social butterfly then it’s great that the community chats are optional 🙈not only do you have access to all of this but there is even a meal planner 😱literally everything at your fingertips to get to a healthier you! I would prefer if it linked up to a smart watch because I quite often don’t have my phone on me to track steps etc. it would also be great to see something PCOS/endo friendly but other than that I can’t really fault it 😊

My Go To
I follow this program religiously. I love the variety of workouts and I know I’m following a safe and organized program. It’s a million times better than doing random workouts from Instagram and a lot easier than trying to create a journal or program of your own. It’s easy to follow and makes going to the gym on a busy schedule that much easier. I love this program and the women involved that partnered with Kayla to create this. They keep adding variety so I don’t think I’d ever turn to another app. The way it keeps track of my progress is great too. All the work-outs cater to different tastes and they are really effective. Totally worth the $20. Occasionally there are app issues but that is usually solved quickly and with app updates. I’ve used this app for years and it’s the best one on the market. I think the way it explains moves and shows how to do them has really helped me feel confident in the gym too. Most women I think are a bit timid to go into the weights section of a gym for fear of incorrect form and some dude coming up to tell them they’re doing it wrong, this app eliminates that!

APP HELPED ME LOSE 80lbs!
I love this app! I personally use the Stephanie Sanzo Build program and it has changed my life! I’ve gone from 215 to 136 (lowest) and am now maintains at 146 and have done so for at least 2 years now (active user for 4 years now 😅, although I’ve had the app for 5). I love that the app techs are so responsive on social media and so are the trainers! Stephanie has encouraged me so much along this journey! My only criticism is the meal plan/food options. It seems very limited to a Mediterranean cuisine. It would be nice to incorporate more culturally diverse options! French meals, Latinx meals, Caribbean options (that’s my only reason for the 1 point deduction)! Update: I’m now on year 5 and I think I probably am the healthiest and best looking I’ve ever been, and even more than that, I feel mentally unstoppable! I use a bit of every trainer, with my main still being Stephanie. And even with her growing following, she still will respond to messages and send you encouragement! This movement created by Sweat has been amazing. FYI, I NEVER do reviews, I actively hit cancel when the “do you like the app?” comes up, but I had to for this one. As my friends say “this app has had you in a chokehold for years” lol absolutely.

Feedback
I love the workouts, the community and the extras like nutrition, etc. BUT if I could give you a little feedback, I would love the app to be easier to navigate without necessarily having to look through each program to see what you can or can’t do at that moment (gyms sometimes are really busy, so sometimes we only have certain things available and also limited time). It would be great to get a search bar where you can just type things like “squats”, “crunches”, “leg press” and get suggestions on what program to do based on that so that we could create a program based on what we have. Hope this helps! And don’t get me wrong I love that I get to follow programs when I go to the gym because I often don’t really know what to do to target different areas of my body. But yes just a little suggestion. Keep up the great work!

So well designed
So many things I love about this app- the amount of choice! There’s so many diff programmes to choose from, the express workouts are quick and juicy! The diff target areas or overall. The low impact/pregnancy/post partum is so inclusive.
the fact that when you hit the start button on a workout- it gives you the demo video, the timer and the reps without having to sort it out yourself! Love that you can put your weights into your workouts so you can track what you’ve done and see your progress.
Then the actual design of the workouts. Every move/exercise is planned to be done in a certain order to maximise targeting your chosen area (not that you can’t do it wantever way you want) but when I’ve followed the order the target area is constantly in tension and working so much harder!
There’s only one thing I’d change- a larger timer counting down- sometimes you just have to know that you’ve only 10 secs left to push though! 😂❤️

Affordable and lots of content
Love this app. I love it even more because I got it on sale during Black Friday a few years ago so I’m locked in for $10/month which is an amazing price for all the content. Even their usual pricing is worth it in my opinion. So many different programs. Used to have a lot of bugs but works seamlessly now. Love the ability to sub out and modify separate exercises before starting the workout - really useful postpartum with diastasis and certain exercises aren’t as safe or are too difficult. The modification suggestions are exactly what I need so I don’t have to stress about what to change myself.
I would love to see a prenatal program. I was so lost trying to exercise while pregnant. I believe i heard this may be in the works by Sweat which is super exciting!
I wish the app had better nutrition and meal plan ideas. I love the idea of this feature within the app, but it falls short. The ingredients are odd - not typical things I can find at my grocery store - and doesn’t offer substitutes if I’m remembering correctly. I find it to be the least useful part of the app. It makes eating healthy seem more difficult than it is. I need a nutrition planner that makes eating healthy seem “easier” (every day ingredients, one pan meals, kid friendly meals, etc).
