Perfect for cardio days!

Now that most of us are working out from home—this is the perfect app for pairing other workouts or exercising in between commercials while bingeing Love Island. ;)

I use this app for my row days. 30 minutes of rowing and 15-25 minutes of straight core work after! What makes this application so easy to use is that you can time your workouts, focus on specific areas and gauge your workouts by the level you are at. Which makes this a little more fluid than Nike Trainer Club (which I have been a user for over 3 years) I’m definitely more inclined to use this app now during my row days instead of NTC. Great job, no flaws! ✨

The perfect app to workout at home!

During this lockdown I wanted to keep myself fit and healthy, as all the gyms are shut.
I have started to used first “down dog yoga” without having very few experience with the yoga practice, and I loved it. You can control the voice, the speed of the movements, the kind of music... simple but amazing!
However, I have decided to try “HIIT down dog app” as I personally prefer this practice, and I have to say, it is the best app I have ever try (I have tried lots of app before I decided to join the gym, as I have found them not as good for me as I aspected).

Again, you can choose what kind of music you wants to be played in your workout, choose the length of exercise and length of rest time, where to focus your workout (back, total rotation, body progression, right and glute etc.), is a real revelation in my workout routine!
I have to say, once this lockdown will be over, I will consider the idea of subscribe a whole year with this app, instead of my gym!

Good app but need some improvements

I found this app during social distancing just by chance. Good thing was that the developer is providing it for free for extended period of time.

I would say that it’s a great app to start. The platform is good , the features are good and customizable.

Few things that bug me are:
1) there’s no warm up. The app takes you directly to intense exercises.
2) the instructor seems like a preprogrammed bot. There’s no emotion on his face nor any empathy. I would like it to be with a gym instructor with some human touch.
3) need more guidance that can give specific instructions to the user. Like engage core. Lower your upper body on exhale etc.
4) there’s no cool down option. The guy just walks off at the end of the class.
5) if my work out is interrupted by a phone call, the whole sequence is reset and have to fast forward the video to bring it back to the point where it was prior to the interruption caused by the phone call. This is annoying.
6) There is no Apple TV casting support which is frustrating.

Please add these features and I would be willing to pay for this app forever.

Pretttyyy awesome

I’ve never written an app review but this one deserves it. Like many in quarantine, I’ve been looking for a way to keep moving. I am not a solo workerer-outer. I NEED a class, structure, someone to tell me what to do- the whole deal. This app does just that and as if it couldn’t get better it has the added time flexibility. You pick what you want and poof- a fancy algorithm creates an awesome, sweaty workout for you. The workouts are in a great format with all different movements so you never get bored with doing the same thing over and over. This app is AWESOME and will keep doing it after quarantine to save some monies!!!

Good HIIT App

I’m a huge fan of the yoga app and decided to give this one a try. I’m going to be honest and say that I prefer the yoga app. This one has good workouts (doesn’t repeat the same thing over & over) but I’m not really a fan of the music list and I really wish some exercises would have a small explanation how to do them correctly. I spent part of my workout watching the instructor and trying to figure out if I’m doing it right. Also as I mentioned above, I wish there was more of a music variety or maybe I could choose to play my own music? Just a suggestion.
**Overall 3.5 stars for now. (Hopefully I can change it to 5 later on)

Love the app!

I love this app! I’m an avid gym-goer but given all that’s going on in the world at the moment all gyms are closed. I’m a terrible at home exerciser! At least until this app. It keeps me moving. The workouts are customizable and can be as quick as I need them to be. One tiny adjustment I’d love to see is if the instructor could give more info on each move, such as how to setup for the move, what muscle we’re working, etc. and if they could provide cues throughout each move, such as “focus on pulling in at your core” and things like that. It’s a helpful reminder for me to stay focused on what I’m doing especially since I’m doing this at home and I’m faced with lots of distractions.

Close to perfect

One of the better HITT apps. The guys form on squats is a bit off. Would be good if you could request to remove moves e.g no floor exercises.

Recommend

Easy to follow, close to what I normally do in HIIT class. Thanks!

Awesome App!

Great app! With all this time during quarantine my fitness has improved thanks to this app! I love that I can change the settings! When I was just starting out I was a little confused but as you go this app keeps getting better!

Iso life saver
