Great! Would love to be able to track weight lifted for each exercise

Loving it! The interface is very user friendly and the workouts are awesome. I’ve been following Whitney since the beginning and I’m so excited more fitness apps are coming out! I know how to workout but it’s always nice to have someone do the programming for you. This app hasn’t been out for a week yet so my review can only be so in depth. My only issue and suggestion for improvement would be to be able to log how much weight you used for each exercise! It’s hard to remember the exact weight you used for specific exercises and another app I like to use has this option and it’s one of the best parts. It’s also be cool to be able to see how you’ve progressed from the start of a program to the finish with your weight lifted progression.

Great App

You can tell Whitney has put so much care and thought in this App it’s so easy to use. It’s a great way to mix up my workouts. I’m really enjoying getting a good sweat up with the supersets. I will definitely continue using it.

Trying to helpful, not hateful

I personally don’t really see a difference between this fitness app and a few others out there. What I love about Whitney Simmons is her personality and I feel like it doesn’t come through very much here. I wish there was more audio cues and that the app was a little bit more pleasant to look at. I realize this is the first version of this app and it came out two or three days before writing this review, but I truly am trying to be helpful and I’m sure it will improve as time goes on, but as of now, there are other apps I think are similar or a bit better visually and where you could get the same workout (also, I just want to say that the workout is great, just similar to other apps), if I’m being honest. But I’m truly happy Whitney Simmons came out with an app, I’m looking forward to following along and watching this thing grow!

Hoping to see more!

I think this app is really great, I like the display and aesthetic of the app. I enjoy the weight tracker and progress photo section! The first workout I did kicked my but and i really enjoyed it! I look forward to seeing what else the app has to offer in the future! The way the daily workouts are listed is a bit confusing and will take some getting used to with the rest time between. I wish there was an option to remove the rest timer out of the workouts.
I don’t like how the total active minutes are calculated at the end, i wish it would be calculated from when you start the workout till the end, it only calculates based on how long you spend on each set and I tend to forget to pick put my phone to move onto the next one. I spent over an hour at the gym and the active minutes was only 32.
I also would like to see a feature that allows for the amount of weight you use for each exercise as it can also be a great indicator of progress.

Response from developer

Thank you for using Alive! We appreciate your feedback. We've resolved the timing issue and it now behaves how you described. If you'd like us to update the workout time please contact us at alivebywhitneyapp@gmail.com

Everything is on premium

I’m sure if I could afford the monthly fee it would be better but it’s kinda disappointing that there’s little nothing you can do on it without getting premium. And it’s just that that’s quite a lot of money to spend just for an app. :/ (that being said I am sure premium has great content)

LOVE IT!

By far the best workout app I’ve used! I found myself off my phone pointless scrolling social media and focused more on my workout. The layout is great and the rest timer is super helpful. I am very impressed :) Already looking forward to my next workout!

You won’t regret it.

Honestly can’t believe this app just launched because it’s already SO GOOD! It’s so user friendly. I already follow Whitney’s workouts all the time, so I’m happy to have a convenient way to access them! Plus I get to support my girl 🥰

I’m really I’m excited to see all the improvements that occur as time goes on. There are a few minor things I’d love to see:
- a beep that alerts you when the timer is up for a section. Right now you have to keep checking your phone to see the timer and it distracts from giving your all in a workout.
- a preview of the next move during rest. The first time through a new session I found myself having to pause the timer so I could watch the move. I wish I could have previewed the move while I was resting.

Start of a Fantastic Workout App

This workout app has fantastic potential. I have always loved Whitney’s workouts and I am glad I have them all in one place instead of searching and saving instagram for workout moves. It is in the first week so the app is lagging a bit - but I expect that. I love how the colors are bright and easy to see with bold font. I also enjoy not only how it demonstrates moves, but the rest counter as well. It also gives you a total workout timer and achievements which are nice. I hope in the future that home workouts are added or even a feature that you could switch out certain workout moves. I work out in a small community gym so it would be nice if someone is using the cable machine for instance I could switch it to another move option. Also I hope that she adds maybe a nutrition component or even a community board aspect. Overall, great workout app!! Love it and I’m excited to see it continue to develop and improve.

Lovely app! 😍

Love the app so clean and fresh! Love that it has some workouts with no equipment, makes it so much easier to do at home ♥️ 1 suggestion, be awesome to have a noise or indicator when the timing is up so you can just put the workout on and not have to keep looking at the screen 😘 amazing work from Whitney as always xx

Beautiful App

This app is everything I’ve been hoping and praying for!! I used to find it so hard going into the gym and staying on track with my workouts. But I really believe this app is going to help me reach and maintain my fitness goals. Thank you so much Whitney 💙
