Great workout app for all levels and moods 😃

Have been using for about 3 years now... I have a love and hate relationship with this app as it does kick my ass at times.

Chromecast!!

I have loved using this app on/off for many years, always coming back to it. Having recently undergone multiple eye surgeries, I purchased Google Chromecast to enhance my workout experience - unfortunately, the JM app doesn’t work with it!!!

As a result I’ve cancelled my subscription because it’s just not worth it for me if I can’t properly see the workouts on my iPhone. I hope the JM team can fix this issue, because I genuinely enjoy her variety of workouts and energy.

In a league of its own!

This app is fantastic and ahead of its time. Jillian set the bar with her DVDs and now has knocked the ball out of the park with her app. Not only does it include most of her DVDs, the app has so many variety of workouts with so many individual tailorable options for you such as time and equipment you have available. All this is complimented by other supporting factors such as different healthy eating options, mind care and audio recordings. I have had this app from the beginning and just when you think there is nothing else she can add, she continuously surprises you and does. Her vision is outstanding and Jillian you should be so proud. Enjoy everyone :)

Jillian Michaels right by your side

Perfect fitness app. Every workout makes you curse but once you are done you feel your absolute best. Most of the workouts and programs are around 30 minutes and can fit into everyone’s schedule.

The audio only and mindfulness programs are also amaaazzingg.

The only missing bit is yoga that’s slow and flowing. Hopefully there will be more yoga programs and flows in the future.

Definitely love this app and will recommend to everyone.

Great Motivator

I’ve always liked Jillian Michaels as a person and a fitness expert, so her spirit and the trust I have in her expertise led me to try the app. I like that the workouts are challenging but you can select a mode so she encourages you during your workout. I think the variety of workouts and the ability to customize them makes this a particularly great app. I love that I can play Apple Music or just use the app’s built in music. I’m really impressed by the recipes provided. You can follow a daily menu but I’m just enjoying the smoothie recipes. The main thing is one month in and I’m still doing it and I look and feel different. It’s big because I’m overweight and middle aged, so cardio is like a swear word to me. I’m actually enjoying it though which is probably the biggest thing I can say. Thanks Jillian!

The training program works

I've been training with JM app for nearly a year. They work, I am a lot fitter and leaner. I love how they have variety of programs to keep it interesting and also low impact shred program as I have a lower back injury.

Having different fitness level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) to adjust to is great too.

JM

Excellent programs. Never a dull moment and so informative.

It fine

I love Jillian, I love her workouts. But man I wish there was more variety. When you start many of the eight week to even three month workouts it’s just a lot the same for weeks and weeks with not a lot of change. Even in difficulty. I find myself going to other trainers Just to get variety and a higher degree of difficulty. Would be great if there were some workouts with no repeats etc., but it’s a lot of the same stuff in every “new” program. I know it’s hard to keep it fresh, but this is so much repeating. I was disappointed. My honest review is, I love her and love working out to her, but the app needs improvement. Possibly for people who like to go hard and have variety. I know you have to cater to a large audience but new stuff with different degrees of difficulty would be great. Like the cardio that has FOUR circuits of crazy similar exercises, good lord man! Maybe don’t announce every circuit so it doesn’t feel like Groundhog Day. At least keep us guessing until the end. But knowing You have four circuits of the same stuff makes you kind of “meh” about doing it and you start to search for variety. I am loyal to Jillian and will keep pushing forward with this app, but I
Look forward to some new stuff.

Response from developer

We appreciate your feedback and would love if you would contact our CS Team at Help@jillianmichaels.com letting us know what you'd like to see in the app. The premium program which allows you to preview and swap is built on the fly following the select program goal. Have you tried the DVDs including Trainer workouts? We are continuously adding new material including Tone & Shred and the monthly challenges like Take Back 2020, Dashama's Yoga Challenge, Audio Workouts, and Mindful Meditations. Give it a try and let us know how it goes. :)

Will I continue? Not sure yet.

Biggest pet peeve: sometimes right or left isn’t mentioned when it seems like it might be important (certain lunges or punch combos). Maybe it’s not a big deal but I try to alternate when I remember. If there’s too much space between the first and second rep...it’s possible I forget.
Also...sometimes it feels phoned in. You hear and see a lot of the same stuff. I realize this kind of thing takes a ton of work, planning, editing, voiceovers...but maybe 4-6 options instead of 2-4? If you want people to stick with this, variety is the spice of life. Doing the same exercise every day and hearing the same thing makes me wonder if I couldn’t invest my money and some thing with a little bit more diversity? I’m about a month into the 90 day program so we shall see if things change but I have a feeling I kind of know what I’m in for at this point. Still going to finish, but you did ask for feedback!

Life changing

I have been using the bring back 2020 program to get me out of my slump both physically and mentally. I look forward to my daily early morning workout and no one else is up in the house. The positive vibe she gives me is priceless. Encouraging and supportive advice. Don’t get me wrong I’m exhausted and at times tempted to turn it off , but like she says. Stick with her and she promises with hard work you will see results
And I do see it everyday ❤️
