Never had a big problem, guess I’m lucky.
I've had the app since it came out. I've seen it change many times from the purple pink gradient to the basic white and black now. It has added many other trainers, all her previous DVD's, some mediation, at the gym workouts, audio workouts, walk/run, pregnancy programs, meal plans, personal profile and a community to talk to people about your struggles or just encouragement. It has quite a bit.
I dont know the current price plans (im locked in 😏) but she posts discounts every so often on FB. She also posts free circuits on her insta/youtube and advice on certain health stuff if you're into that. As well as a free podcast that kinda just goes with the flow on topics she wants to chat about as well as the occasional health professional on.
What I love most about the app is it's completely customizable and I can use my own music. It has music but I like my own.
The app most certainly has some intense training however, I feel its catered towards the average person. Many of the people in the community only workout with just Jillian (lol no pun intended). Only dedicated people use the app in addition to other exercise avenues. The app is all you need but adding on to it with outside workouts and equipment allows for better or quicker results.

Just okay
I respect the work that was put into making these programs , but honestly these are just too easy for someone who has been working out for twenty years. I’m female and 40 and while I don’t want to kill myself at the gym I do want to feel like I’ve really exerted myself after a workout and none of the interactive programs were above beginner in my opinion. Also tney are too short. This app is good for beginner to maybe advanced beginners. There are way too many free workouts available on you tube etc that are difficult. Also the format is annoying you have no idea what’s coming next until two seconds prior and then you need a couple seconds to figure it out whereas workouts like Caroline girvan have the next move in the upper corner as a preview so you have time to get on the floor or whatever. I just did the beast workout this morning and now I’m just going to go online and do another workout bc even tho beast is listed as advanced it’s not. I have this for three months unfortunately.

Prefer the video library’s series over workout generator
I’ve been using JM app for over a year. I have been using the Body Revolution DVDs for years over and over so was excited when this app came out. The workout generator concept is great and I did a whole series on the hardest level using the equipment I said I had, but its not as intense as the videos get and it lacks the true motivation you hear from Jillian in the gym videos. I just prefer the more snarky side of her and seeing those other gorgeous bods’ form and interaction, so I hope she keeps making them and doesn’t surrender to the generator.
I will say there is some glitchiness in the app that has frustrated me, which is a reason this isn’t getting five stars. I have sporadically experienced starting a video and then needing to pause it and exit out to my Apple TV settings to connect to my headphones or to double check that I skipped ahead to the right number workout. When I either select the same workout or a different one, the previous workout plays along with the new one. This happens regardless if I kill the app and restart the Apple TV. The only way to move forward is to just let that whole workout play. This has happened on the iPad too. There are times when on the phone and iPad that the app just won’t play to the point that I’ve had to delete the app and reinstall it. I think I was relieved that it kept my history though.

A LIFE STAPLE
I love this app and it has truly changed my life. Prior to downloading the Jillian Michaels fitness app I had never exercised before. I didn’t know where to begin but having gained the “COVID 15”, I needed to do something about it so I came across this app and I’m so happy that I did. It has taken me through so many stages of my life including prenatal fitness as well as postnatal fitness. I initially started this to lose the 15 pounds I had gained and to feel healthy but I’ve gained so much more. I would truly recommend this to anyone especially if you have no exercise experience. I started off with the Fitness For Beginners and Jillian really got me through LEARNING the moves, DOING the moves, and pushing me through FINISHING the program. The app grows with you and offers intermediate and experience level fitness as well. The annual payment I made for this app is the best investment I’ve ever made. I can’t wait to keep growing in my fitness journey with Jillian and I’m so very thankful for this app.

I keep coming back to her
I have been using this app on and off since 2018, and before that, I loved Jillian’s DVDs. This app is very easy to use, and it’s brilliant you can customise it to suit you. I never injure myself with these workouts as you can pick your difficulty rating, and they're true to your fitness level. The only thing I change is I make my cool-down longer and usually add in what I need. The app has so many different workouts plus recipes. I always come back to Jillian as I know she’ll get my fitness level back after a break or injuries or illness. Perfect.

First time reviewer long time fan
I’ve been using Jillian’s app for over a year now. I bought it during pandemic lockdown and thought I’d just keep it until my gym reopened. I love it so much that I think I’ll keep it for as long as it exists. I’m loving her library of workouts- all my favorites and more in one place. I especially dig the workout generator because I can choose the time and body area. I also really have been LOVING the breathwork and I’m super bummed it’s going away at the end of February. It’s been really helping me with my stress level and also, as a singer and voice over actress, breath is a THING. The food part is ok… sometimes it gives me the same dish every single night for a week… also, I’ve got food allergies and I’m single for the first time ever this past couple years. So it’s gotten me to start cooking for myself instead of snacking over the kitchen sink - and it’s also overall, especially with the meditations helping me with my depression. So I think it’s probably a work in progress regarding the food glitches, but I still gave it 5 stars cuz I’m glitchy too. lol

Best fitness app; daily schedule editing problems
Have tried a bunch of fitness apps - I reckon this is the best one. Amazing variety of programs, short length of workouts, adjustable levels of guidance from Jillian, customisable meal plan — Jillian and her team have done an excellent job with this app.
A small annoyance is that it’s really difficult to edit the daily scheduled workout. It would be better if the user could just select any particular workout and schedule it and then easily delete/ reschedule it when desired.

She Is My Angel
In mid 2020, I began working from home, and gradually I felt separated from the world. I gained weight, felt depressed, anxiety. Put on medication. But clinging to my phone one morning for some outside engagement, I came across Ms. Jillian Michaels, and after reading some reviews and then seeing her on a talk show; I felt I needed to take a closer look at what she offers and omg I am amazed at how I feel now. She gradually have me push myself, and now I am over 100 days of two programs and I am so proud of me, and is grateful for her. I look forward to my daily workout routine everyday and love rest days. I missed one day and hated it. And that was only because I was in the ER. I will stick with this program. I love that she makes me feel that she cares, and is right here in the room in person with me. Thank you so much. You’re a blessing.

So encouraging
Jillian has been my favourite coach to workout with for YEARS! I got so fit the. With a bought of depression and weight gain due to IUD messing up Emmy hormones Jillian was the only one able to get me out of my funk. From 74kgs to 52kgs and now from 84+ kgs to 62kgs She’s amazing. And so is this app!
