Hybrid Training
I think this is one of the best apps on the market. One to compare against any other.
My only recommendation or feedback that I would like if you could take a different approach like Marchon Training and build more of a hybrid training system as well for those wanting to incorporate conditioning into their strength training. Especially in the weight loss, I feel it’s very minimal or you need to add it as a warm up or a finisher. Like I always feel like when I do general fitness, it isn’t enough versus if I have to pick the traditional mass gain, it has the strength training elements but I wish there was a legitimate condition part rather integrating it into the work out (i.e. run for 30 seconds, jog for 30 seconds; it’s not beneficial and it’s just lackluster)

Thank you for your fantastic review and for considering our app one of the best on the market! We appreciate your detailed feedback on incorporating conditioning into strength training- love this idea for Volt. We're always looking for ways to improve and enhance our programs and I have brought this feedback to the Volt team. Thanks for being a part of the Volt family, and please keep the suggestions coming!
Fantastic Training app
Cheaper than a personal trainer per month I’ve had better results. I’ve never had strength and muscle gains like I’ve had with volt. The sport specific programs are really well designed and the AI coach is very good at adapting the program to continue challenging you. The program moves you through 3/4 week blocks with varied routines for each new block which keeps things fresh. I would advise to be completely honest when it asks for your exertion levels, trying to rush my progress added a couple of strains.

Great fitness app to get you to the next level
Now with the update for metric users, this app is amazing. Love the AI and also the ability to swap exercises out. Highly recommend as an ex personal trainer and sportsperson who wants programming without the effort!
Apple Watch app needed
I really like the app and workouts. Easy to use and customizable. But badly needs an Apple Watch companion for logging, don’t like having to pull my phone out after each set.
In Volt I Trust!!!
REQUEST: Volt, can you bring back the initial primers? I miss the knee stability and shoulder stability one that was removed with the update.
I've used Volt for about 3 years now. I went from 3.5 to 4.0 in women's tennis, and I can use heavier weights. Plus after an injury, I used their Priemer Shoulder Health to get better faster. Volt impressed me by emailing me personally asking about what I specifically liked about Volt for Teams (VFT) compared to this app when I said i preferred the previous app, and made some adjustments based on my reply. Now I use this one. Volt Athletics really is serious about their customer's experience and athletic training, and that's why you should consider Volt. I love Volt and highly suggest that any athlete that wants to improve their performance in their sport and prevent injury to try this app. Out of all the apps I've tried, this is the only one I could find with sport-specific workouts personalized to sport, my season calendar, gender, and fitness ability. Think of this app as an investment in yourself and your sport. It's similar to having a personal trainer, except more affordable. Before Volt, I use to do random things at the gym and "working out". But now with Volt, I'm truly doing the right strength and conditioning for me. In Volt I Trust!!!

We appreciate that feedback Skeptic6—it’s really helpful for our team! We want to make sure both app experiences live up to our customers' expectations, and make sure we’re prioritizing the features you like in the Volt for Teams app and build them in this new Volt app. I’d love to touch base with you and learn more about what you like in the Volt for Teams app. If you have a second, can you send me an email at emma@voltathletics.com to chat? Thanks so much for the feedback, and I’m looking forward to talking with you soon! Thanks, Emma | Volt Support
Great way to get back on track
After the birth of my son, I took almost a year off the gym. When I finally got motivated enough to get back in there. I wasn’t able to do the things I used to do. And I had no idea where to start. This app has helped me to create a program to build back up with new exercises so I don’t get bored.
My only downside is that my app won’t let me add half kilo amounts and most of my dumbbells come with half kilos. Not sure if it’s just a glitch on my app or a bug they need to fix

Unbroken
Great accountability app and the workouts are good variety. My favorite feature is the streak counter to make sure your keeping up with the training schedule. At time of writing I have just completed 222 in a streak passing week 52 (year) with 212 workouts. It’s just a silly number but it gets me to show up every time. My second favorite feature is Cortez which is like your workout guide, it sets the weight and reps. Can’t complain as I have not had an overtraining injury while using the app. The flip side is in the beginning of using the app for the first few months I wish it pushed harder. It just must need to do a bit of learning because after about 6 mos it did start pushing more. And a year later it’s more of a battle to keep up with the tonnage expectation. All that said in a year my body fat (male) has went from about 22-24% to 11-12%. I just started focusing on nutrition more in the past couple weeks but prior there was plenty of chocolate chip cookies and hot and ready passing through weekly. You can’t put train the fat but apparently you can put a pretty good dent in it. Just saying.

The only app I’ll ever recommend
Volt is an ABSOLUTE gamechanger for anyone with athletic or wellbeing goals. I used it for 2 years to keep me in shape for ski season and I was faster & lasted longer on the mountain at 35 than I ever could as a collegiate skier. Then, I switched to a strength & size program that got me through my first pregnancy and first year post partum. I’m finally back on my ski season program and literally stronger 1 year post partum than before baby. The training is so good, the features are always improving, and the Volt support team is the best in the business. Knowledgeable, speedy, and more helpful than any coach or trainer I’ve ever worked with. Do yourself a favor and try three months of Volt training. You WILL see and feel results if you commit!

Good, but frustrating for the home user
There is a lot to like about the app. I love all the plan options and the UI is easy to use. The demo videos are helpful and good quality. Where I am frustrated is that the app is more geared towards the gym user, and not the most helpful for the home gym user. I have dumbbell sets from 5lbs to 50lbs, medicine balls, bands, and kettlebells. The home workout plans do not really utilize the gym equipment on hand, mostly a lot of bodyweight work. The other plans ask for weight that I don’t have. For example, it’ll want me to do dumbbell bench press with 65 lbs—which I don’t have. I wish it could take into account exactly what equipment I have and develop a program based on that. In addition, it does not allow for time constraints either (ie, it doesn’t ask how long you want your workouts). Most plans have 60+ minute workouts. While I do like the app, I find that these issues make it a completely frustrating experience.

Best workout app I’ve used
It’s like having a coach in your pocket. Set your goals, equipment and abilities, and the app guides you in each workout. Configures the right load for hypertrophy and strength without even needing to know what they mean. Exercises I’ve never tried before, but felt the effects the next day. I can use it in a gym or at home, and look forward to my workouts now.
