Leave a Review Kickoff Personal Training
Great Personal training and Nutrition App!
If you're looking for a comprehensive fitness and nutrition app with a REAL PERSON COACHING YOU to help you achieve your health goals, look no further than Kickoff. I've been using this app for months now, and I can't say enough good things about it.
First and foremost, the app's exercise programs are top-notch. Your own personal trainer provides personalized, diverse workouts that are tailored to your fitness level, which means you never get stuck in a rut. Every day is a new communication with a real person and new challenge with a new opportunity to push yourself to the next level. Additionally, your own personal coach tracks your progress over time, so you can see exactly how far you've come.
But what really sets Kickoff apart from other fitness apps is its nutrition component. The app's meal planning feature makes healthy eating simple and stress-free. With a few taps, you can generate meal plans for the week based on your dietary preferences and calorie goals guided by your own nutrition professional!
NO CONTRACTS / REAL PEOPLE !
Overall, I can't recommend Kickoff enough. It's the complete virtual personal trainer fitness and nutrition package that's helped me get in the best shape of my life. If you're serious about improving your health and fitness, then you owe it to yourself to try Kickoff!Show lessJessss C.
Training with Kickoff
I’ve have been training with kickoff for almost two years now. My trainer helps me achieve my goals and keep track of things with the kickoff app. Each week I receive my plan for the week and I can adjust if I need.
Jennifer is my trainer and she continues to challenge me each week. She has conversations in person( on zoom) or with texts that help me see where I need to make changes and where I have been successful.
Working on nutrition has been a challenge . Not always easy to keep track of every meal! But the app helps and then Jennifer can offer suggestions!
I have noticeable strength in my legs and arms . I will continue to work on better nutrition. Visibly seeing it on the app helps me see I need to still make some changes!Show lessidaho suzyQ

Straight Forward and Simple Way to Reach your Fitness Goals
I was initially skeptical about virtual training, but Kickoff and my personal trainer quickly changed my mind. Kickoff is very user friendly and allows me to easily log my nutrition and adjust my workouts as needed. It’s also really nice to have someone that can regularly answer questions, provide encouragement and hold me accountable. The workout are always fun and have been tailored to my specific ability level and goals. Kickoff has been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals.Show lessAchilles817

This is a full-on scam
Kickoff should be your last resort if you’re looking to improve your health this year. Even Camp Gladiator, which I also consider a scam, is a better option.
Kickoff’s crimes are legion:
1) Their trainers are not required to be nationally certified. This matters because certifications need to be regularly renewed, unlike diplomas. Certifications prove the trainer is current and competent.
2) There are no registered dietitians on the staff. This matters because it effectively makes Kickoff’s nutrition guidance illegal, because only RDs can legally give out meal plans and you can’t outtrain a bad diet.
3) The REAL kicker, from a former Kickoff trainer who confided this to me: Because Kickoff is really an AI- powered program, the trainers are not allowed to use their professional judgment. Want a qualified professional who truly understands you and will adjust to your specific needs? Good luck with that, because you probably won’t find one here.
This is an elongated way of saying that if you commit to this platform, you were too stupid or lazy to do your homework. The smart money is still to work 1-to-1 with a REAL certified trainer and hire a registered dietitian as well. It’s more expensive of course, but you’ll get actual results instead of being set up to fail by this scam of a platform that only pretends to cater to you needs. Avoid at all costs.Show lessJourneyman2015
Developer Response
Thanks for sharing your feedback on the issue of trainer certifications. We have thought long and hard about this and have done a great deal of analysis of client outcomes. We have found that 4 year undergraduate degrees are fantastic credentials for our trainers, along with personal training certifications. 4 year undergraduate degrees are generally more intensive than certifications, requiring dozens of courses over 4 years and real world training. And clients love the insight that trainers with 4 year degrees can thus provide. Of course, all clients can choose what kind of trainer they want in every way, including this dimension. If a specific trainer is not a great fit for a client's needs, we eagerly find them a new trainer. All clients also can chat with their coach before subscribing.So far, So good
Kickoff provides great customer service! I haven’t had any issues with communication. They respond quickly and put forth every effort to make sure they give you all the help you need. They are a legitimate company and I feel very safe doing business with them. You are not held to any contract and can cancel anytime. You can determine how many days a week you want to workout. You can also workout whatever time of day you want too. I have been working with my trainer, Scott, for almost three months and I’m loving it! I would highly recommend Kickoff!Show lessFloMcE
Glitchy: won’t let cancel membership or use customer service function
Can be glitchy sometimes. It currently doesn’t seem to want to let me cancel my membership - the screen freezes and won’t let me make any changes. Will be reporting if the issue continues beyond my pause date. I would have given a better rating as it does function well, but if it’s going to force me to continue to pay for services I don’t want, that’s a major issue.Show lesshealthy_endorphine_junkie

I wish I had seen this sooner! We want to ensure it's easy to cancel or pause at any time. This was a strange one off bug and it was fixed right away - I'm sorry it was there for you when you were pausing. It sounds like we ruined an otherwise good experience. I'll make sure this does not happen again (and has not happened since to my knowledge). -John Gardner, Founder and CEOLove the Coaches App needs work
First of all notice 4/5. There are some useful features like a recipe bank, auto timer that goes through the workout so you don’t always have to click or watch a timer. My coach can load a workout and I can change weight or reps or find an alternative exercise. That is great if I don’t happen to all the equipment for the planned workout.
The things that need work are some of the videos don’t show the right exercise or crops a video that shows it. Like for a leg exercise the person demonstrating has legs cropped out of video. The menu used to be automated so you could pulled up a day and there are suggested meals.
So again notice 4/5 there are some awesome features and automation that make this app pretty amazing. Still some fixes would be nice but even if those things aren’t fixed I am still happy with kickoff, the app, and especially my coach.Show lessLydster71914
