Not very friendly
There are two ways the app measures a workout, personal counting & a timer. I started a workout and did the 1st set of 20 they wanted but didn’t realize I had to hit forward to get to the next workout. The next workout was timed. With the app being silent; there was no indication on time other than constantly looking at the screen. I would look up and it’s a totally different workout. The meal plan was a bonus, but it would be better if there were some sort of shopping list. It’s not a user friendly app. It’s got potential but lacks basic functionality.

I really am annoyed
So this is with all apps so you guys aren’t the only people getting a review like this, how come we have to pay like $10 (im not sure the exact amount) a month to do a 25 min workout? Like at a gym that’s normal cause they have to pay the electricians pay workers etc. like I want to stay fit but I’m not very aware of what type of workouts help certain parts of your body so I downloaded this to understand what I was doing for certain games parts of my body do I really need to pay for that? Sorry I had to give such a bad review.

Response from developer
Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Fitness Coach programs are created by professional trainers, who spent hours tailoring them in order to give you the best home workout experience. These programs are personalized: they've been thought to adapt to everyone who's looking for a good workout, whether you are new to fitness or have been practicing for years. They will also adapt to your progress: the more you workout, the better you get, and the more the difficulty increases. So you may not see all the science behind the app at first glance, but there's a lot of value in Fitness Coach, and we really tried our best to give you a true personal trainer experience. We decided to make Fitness Coach free to download and triable for free using the free trial, so you have time to try all the features and decide if you want to keep using it and pay for the subscription. We hope the pricing point is clearer for you now, and we hope to see you again soon. The Fitness Coach team
Good Fast Workouts
I’m kind of surprised by all of the recent negative reviews. There are a lot of features in this app. I really like that you can go with their plan for you or you can randomly decide to do something else. The workouts you can build from are good and well thought out.
They can be difficult. If you are not used to HIIT training or calisthenics then you may think the workouts are strange or not worth it for some reason. I don’t understand this. One reviewer said they are “fake” workouts. I have been doing similar routines although less structured on my own and have had good results. I am happy to have an app to keep things organized and keep my workouts fresh.
The instructional videos for each exercise are really awesome as well. So far it’s been a good purchase I’m on week 3.
Edit: You manage subscriptions inside of your Apple ID in settings. You can cancel the subscription outside of the app. This is not uncommon, don’t blame the developer because you don’t know how to use your phone or google things.

Fitness coach
I love this. I have tried so many workout apps and apps that can help me but non work and make me feel like I got my money worth. But fitness coach does when I first open the app was not really excited but then I started to actual asking me questions like what I want to work on. How long I want to work on it. It was just so great and I would share it to my family and friends.

Payed subscriber that app doesn’t recognize
I payed for the 3 month subscription and loved the app. The problem came about after I bumped it up to a yearly subscription. I payed but then the app acted like I wasn’t a subscriber and kicked me off. I checked to make sure the subscription processed and it did but the app wasn’t processing it. I tried restarting my device, I tried deleting the app and reinstalling. Eventually I canceled my subscription and asked for a refund. I tried again a second time with the yearly but again, it worked for two days before acting like I wasn’t a subscriber. I contacted Apple and followed their instructions to try and fix the issue but that did not work so I contacted the app developer only for them not even being able to do anything at all as they “ don’t have access to personal accounts”. I had to unsubscribe again and ask for a refund. Such a disappointment. I really liked the app while it worked but it is permanently deleted as a third time is NOT happening!

Fitness Coach is Great But
In my opinion Fitness Coach is great and the fees are no problem for me, the only problem i have to say is that im new to the app & I am unfamiliar with some of the exercises it would be helpful if they added the video of the exercise to every exercise and not just some. Im not sure if its a bug or just a problem on my phone or if its the app i wish they would fix that would make me complete the workouts so much easier but other than that its a great app!

I don’t like how you have to pay
The app is good but I hate that we have to pay to get the full experience. I have to get another device and time with the set time which is really annoying. I don’t think we should pay for something that we can find on a website.
good app but technical error?
my videos won’t load on the app to give a tutorial of the exercises. just comes up with a blue screen or never loads at all. i know this isn’t a wifi issue as i have tried using 4G also :/
Extremely disappointed
Another one of those “free apps” that actually sends up costing money as soon as you try to use it.
I’ve seen this app everywhere and really wanted to try it out, but like many others, was incredibly saddened by the fact that it actually costs money to use.
If you’re going to promote an app as free, then make it free. Don’t give people the false hope of bettering themselves in a quick and non costly way, then immediately ask them to hand over their wallets.
False advertising, just like many other “free” apps; if I could rate it zero stars, I would.

Great app!
This app is really great and it allows one to exercise with their own frequency and allows one to work around their schedule. It even has rest days for recoveries and has challenges.
Although you must pay for each week, the app overall is great!
