Been using this app for 2 years

I’ve been able to maintain my consistency specially because of THIS APP. 🔥 The Begin Challenge are probably my fave because they mix it up with the exercises which keeps it exciting! I hope to see more Intermediate-ADV level workouts soon! ❤️ Suggestions for improvement: ☑️Visual of how much weight goes on the 45lb. Barbells based on the weight I entered. I guess like an “in-app calculator” (lazy girl request lol). ☑️Making the workouts downloadable so when I don’t have signal I can still see the instructional videos and enter in the weights I did ☑️ A tab that shows collectivey the exercises I’ve been doing and what weights I’ve been doing for those exercises so there is a visual on one screen of how much strengthI’ve gained over time. Almost like a “workout history” tab ❤️Thank you so much for reading! I love the app and I only buy the yearly renewal not only because of the deal but because I won’t ever switch to another app. Love you girly ❤️

Thank you for your fantastic review and valuable feedback! Our team is currently working on exciting new features for Alive, which we can't wait to share with you soon!

Absolutely amazing

I’ve followed Whitney on Instagram for ages and love her enthusiasm, she’s contagious. So as soon as this app came out I knew I needed to get it. And I’m so glad I did!! I’ve been going to the gym for year but have lost my touch and needed something to freshen up my game, this does just that. It also incorporates warm up and cool down stretches which I hate to say I used to give a miss. The app is so easily accessible and understandable for all abilities. I honestly can’t praise it enough!

lock screen option please!

i love this app and all but i really wish there was an option to have your phone locked but still progress through your workout. similar to the way our music apps let you go back, next, pause, skip through etc. i hate leaving my phone unlocked at the gym and i also hate having to constantly unlock it just to make sure im doing the workout correctly, adjust my rest time, all that fun stuff. please look into implementing a way for us to progress our workouts from the lock screen! then it would definitely be a 5* app

Good app!

The Alive app by Whitney Simmons is a good app! It keeps me motivated to stick to a workout schedule and it helps me with self discipline. I do wish that the exercises came with a link to instructional videos, rather than just the demonstration with no explanation. I also struggle to reorder my workout days, I think it’s just a glitch in the app. For $25aud a month I was expecting a little more, but it is the only thing that has kept me to a regular gym schedule.

Workouts per week

I don’t know if I’m missing something but it only lets me select 4 or 5 workouts per week? How can I change this to 3?

Love it but just one flaw

I love the workouts and the fact they leave me feeling very accomplished however I’m not sure if it’s a bug or just me but the workouts would go for one set for each exercise and skip the next few sets and go straight to cool down. First time using I was very confused. Guess I just need to keep an eye on it. Other than that, awesome programme!

A great investment

I’d been wanting to go back to the gym for a while after having my son, but had such bad gym anxiety. Knowing that I was in a new area with a busier gym I knew going in and the machines I’d want to use would be busy meant my plan was thrown off and I’d spend an hour wandering around lost. This took a lot of my anxiety away k owing what I was doing each day, right down to reps and movement.
Happily back at it 5 days a week!

Seriously, go download it

Best workout app I’ve tried, I love it!

I LOVE IT

I absolutely love this app, It’s affordable for me, which i appreciate because I don’t want to spend 25$ on an app that has half or less of what Alive app has to offer. I love the syncing of the Apple Watch, it’s very easy to use and a lot quicker to just manage when in between or during sessions. I like the whole set up of the programs, very clear and easy to use, it’s also great that it’s esthetically pleasing to the eye. I do however, wish they would add a way for you to see up close or to be able to click on the image to see a 360 view of the movement, I would also love to see a way for the app to show you the next movement coming up as a preview so you know what equipment can be used and if not available what other options you could grab to substitute. Lastly, i really really wish this app had a nutrition part to it! I would to see it have a way for us to track our macros and us be able to see how much we’re in taking and working on for our personal goals. I just think it would make this app so so worth it, which is why i gave it 4 stars because now i have multiple apps to track other things i wish all came in one app. Overall, this is a very good useful app, I love Whitney and her bubbly personality and i just appreciate this app so much. Thanks Whitt you’ve helped me so much mentally in the Gym 🩷

Absolutely love it!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I really need to express how much I love this app. I am a 28 year old stay at home mother of a 17month old, and I love that this app completely takes away the thought of working out. I can’t get to the gym as often as I would like because I would need a sitter, but with minimal equipment I can not only work out at home but I also enjoy it! I’ve been fit my whole life so I never had to think much about what to do at the gym, but with this app no “at home work out” research is necessary! I just follow along and even the warm ups, cool downs and breaks are timed for me! I’ve also seen many new workouts through the weeks so it keeps it interesting and away from the monotony that sometimes comes with home workouts. Also, I love the “weekly” format because it motivates me to get in the amount of workouts per week that each schedule calls for. It’s a motivation to not fall behind. Lastly, the journal and journey tracking aspects are so great as well. I feel like I am equipped and empowered to get back into the shape I want without expensive programs or needing a sitter and hating the workouts.
