Perfect for busy mums
I have used this programme over the past 9 years on and off. Originally I had the book which was brilliant at times when I was going to the gym and needed some guidance of doing a balanced workout. Since then during lockdown the app was the most amazing thing to use when working from home trying to get that movement in. I am now recovering from a c section with a 3 month baby and the post natal workouts have been phenomenal. I can get them done in 20mins so it perfect to get in during baby’s nap time and what seemed so impossible now feels achievable. When I complete one of the sessions I feel so accomplished and like I can do anything with the rest of my day. I have completely lost all my core strength and I am confident that this postnatal program will gradually help me regain it.

Great App
I am doing Chontel’s Fierce at-home-challenge with equipment and have been for over a year now. There is a lot of variety on the app so I don’t have to stay with that plan only. I add yoga and Pilates from other trainers on the app and I find all the videos very easy and simple to follow. The app allows for convenient training whenever I want, whether it’s at 9am or 9pm (not travel time, no waiting for the session to start…). I love the daily unwind sessions at well, short 10min stretching for the end of the day. I train everyday now, not necessarily using the app but also going for walks. This app has helped me build a long lasting easy-to-do at home routine I can do forever. I feel great and motivated. And it’s super cheap compared to having to pay a fitness trainer for this same level of sessions. I know a trainer can help you improve your form, but I hate being in a gym, those are the worst environments for my introverted self (anyone else think a 5kg weight is super heavy??)! 😂🙈

Sweat has helped me through lots of different life stages
Thanks for helping me find ‘fun’ in fitness, and take the ‘thinking’ out of workouts. I’ve struggled my whole life (I’m 30 now and feel like it’s the new 20!) with body image and I’m not strongly connected with my family, so doing sweat everyday makes me feel part of something bigger- a community that’s changing the mindset around food and exercise- putting women’s specific needs first around pregnancy and periods, busy lives, well-being and self care and the best part for me is I have been able to adjust my workouts for my injuries, post surgery recovery and during my chronic pain journey. THANK YOU 💚💚💚

Sweat PWR- workout @ Home @ 59 years
I downloaded the free option in April the Covid-19 lockdown . Loved it so much that I decided to buy the subscription ! I have been doing cardio and strength training for years and once a week have a personal trainer session . After Menopause my weight started creeping up and had belly fat and struggled to lose cm or kg . I am doing PWR at home and lost 20cm overall . The burpees , push-ups is getting better😂. I love that in sweat , the program is to work on all your muscles - Full body and also encourages to stretch which I love , foam rolling and rest day ! I have not used the nutrition plan but been getting tips from there for my protein as I am a vegetarian . I am looking forward to more changes in my body which is achievable even at 59 year old and I am proud of my body !

Great
The excersizes are great and the plans are easy to follow, noticing results already. One thing that desperately needs an update is the “progress” section. It’s very confusing to navigate and I don’t like how it only follows what you look like. What about things like waist inches, subjective energy, fitness goals like how many pressups u can do etc. or at the very least be able to put weight in . Also would be good to be able to keep a record of all the courses you complete like trophies. Eg if you complete bbg beginner then you store a trophy for that. I honestly can’t seem to get this section to work for me so either it’s unintuitive or it’s a bit flawed . Overall very happy, just thought I’d give some constructive feedback.

Such a great deal!
I have been using this app 4+ times/week for over 7 months now and have never had to repeat a workout. I’m so impressed with how much you get for less than the price of one in-person fitness class per month. I started off with Kelsey Well’s PWR program, then decided I wanted more high intensity worked into my workouts so I switched to Chontel’s FIERCE at home as soon as it came out. After 12 weeks of that, I decided I wanted to change things up just for fun so now I’m doing Kayla’s BBG. Add into all of those programs the fact that they have regular sweat challenges and publish all NEW workouts for you to do for 6-week chunks before switching back to your regular programming- basically, the choices and workouts are endless! I’ve always gotten bored with workout programs after a certain amount of time and repetitiveness, but the amount of choice you have in this one, all included in the $20/month, has kept that from happening with the SWEAT app. I am a huge fan and so thankful to have this app to keep me feeling my best.

Love FIERCE
I decided to try this app based on Chontel Duncan’s instagram profile and I can say that overall I’m very pleased with what I have access to. I’ve tried 2 other instructors and their classes were good too. I have been using since Dec 2019. You need a decent home gym to do these at home but it’s totally worth it. It’s cheaper in the long run and you’re not competing for equipment like you would at a regular gym. I have what I think is bare minimum - squat rack & bench press combined, Olympic bar and plates, and dumbbell pairs in 4 sizes, skipping rope and 2 homemade boxes for jumps. Other exercises I just find alternatives for. I like the set up of the workouts and that there are many to choose from. Sometimes advancing to next exercise is tedious especially for supersets that are not timed exercises. My only peeve is that the app is only compatible with Apple Watch and devices. I wish it had the option of syncing to Garmin watches as all my strength and cardio sessions are recorded on that. It’s annoying that I can’t sync my sessions on the Garmin with the Sweat App. Also I wish there was a voice prompt feature where you could move to next set without physically touching the >> button.

Great!
I downloaded this app to help me exercise during quarantine. I’ve always made my own circuit training, but I wanted more variety. It’s only been few days but so far workouts has been awesome! Even though I was already reasonably fit I still got doms in places I usually don’t. I was sweating pretty hard by the end of 30min workout, so that was satisfying. Being in quarantine, zero equipment is what I wanted. I’m vegan so I wasn’t interested in dietary help but this app accommodates vegans too and although I haven’t used it yet, it’s great to have it there for when I need new ideas for snacks/meals. 2 things I would change if I could, is being able to mix different program. It can get repetitive sometimes. Another is announcement of next workout BEFORE it starts. If I don’t have to look at my phone to know what’s coming ahead, so I can workout full 30sec, that would be better! Overall, you can pay monthly and it’s def worth even trying for a month to see how you go!

Crashes constantly otherwise would have been 5*
Pros - love this app and the variety of workouts here. Cons - The meal plan / nutrition side is poor compared to other apps but I use this purely for the training programmes. The biggest problem I have found is in the last 3-4 weeks the app takes several attempts to open and to stay open. I have kept the app updated and re-downloaded the app but still the problem persists. It takes 20-25 seconds to open (stays on the pink screen for this period) and then it crashes and shuts down. I have to do this three or four times and today, during a workout it just shut down. Frustrating isn’t even the word. Please fix this issue - I want to stay with Sweat but will have to go to another alternative if this problem persists for another week. So glad I only pay monthly otherwise this would have been a total waste of money.

I Love This App!!
This app is amazing for anyone who wants to get back into exercising or has been exercising for a long time. This app is perfect for people who love home workouts and gym workouts! They have wonderful plans where you do a hard workout, anywhere between 20 and 45 minutes, 3 days a week, two days a week of low intensity, one day of rehabilitation, and one day of complete rest. On low intensity days, you can choose to go for a walk, run, go to the gym and lift weights, go hiking, or do whatever outdoor or indoor activity that you would like to do! Also it is so fun to follow the trainers and Sweat on Instagram because regardless of how many followers they may have, they will always interact with you and let you know that they have seen your comments! If you want a place where you can get great exercise, follow wonderful trainers who push and encourage you, and have accessibility to work out at home or at the gym, this is your app!!!
