Potential for best app ever

This app is actually great with so many dyanmic workouts and videos, tops most AI- generating workouts tbh. However, I would like to see the filter working well when i search. The exercises are categorized by equipment, and when i try to filter by muscle (abs for example), most of the time i get 0 results

Best I’ve Ever Seen!

I’m a 53 year old serious martial artist, fitness trainer with MS. Exercising like a maniac and kickboxing got me out of a wheelchair. Been working with Kettlebells and Combat Conditioning body weight, dumbbells, and bars for 22 years. There is literally NOBODY better than Eric Leija! This guy is the Jim’s Hendrix of exercise.

Great App & Workouts

My husband and I have been using Primal Fit for maybe a year now on and off. We are enjoying the app and the ease of linking it to our tv. Plus the ease of going into each exercise without having to back out or rewind. The music change is great for each workout and keeps my mind busy and distracted. Totally get our A**es kicked too. I’ve never worked out my first 30 years young, but have been working out on and off the last two years. Thanks Eric Leija for the awesome workouts and keeping us fit.

Thanks for the great review and glad to hear you and your husband are loving the workouts and that I'm helping you reach your goals! Keep after those gains!

Everything but the app

I’ve been using Eric’s programs for a little over a year now and I love his workouts. They are perfect for my goals.

But the app has been frustrating.

1. It will crash even if I switch back over from another app

2. Some workouts videos are blank

3. Some workouts will be listed differently than the ones in the videos

4. My music will stop playing as soon as I open the app even after I switched it ‘on’ in the app settings

Effective and fun!!

I love Eric’s workouts! I followed him on instagram and did workouts on there before getting the app. I love the mobility work he does in the app - makes a big difference in my flexibility and lift-ability. His workouts are so innovative (never boring) and effective - down 3 pounds in a week since jumping back in post COVID.

That mobility helps you recover strong to keep getting after it day in and day out! Thank you for the compliments and 5 star review. I love to hear about your success as a coach, that's what it's all about for me!

Truly Life Changing

Eric’s content is unparalleled. Before Eric’s programs I was inconsistent and unorganized at the gym. With this app, I have an easy way to bring organization and consistency to my fitness routine. I started here in 2020 & It’s crazy to think about how my strength and general confidence in my physique/physical health have transformed since then.

Eric’s programs are fun so you want to come back consistently but still challenging so you’re making those gains!

Everything has a proper warmup so you can prep your body before and a cool down so you can recover strong. I really believe Eric’s programs are designed to keep you strong and healthy with an eye on consistency and longevity.

Some minor feedback:
-I wish I could play my own music with the videos
-sometimes Eric goes pretty fast between sets. I don’t always have time to get my bells or bands ready in time!
-some very minor editing hiccups

But these are so so minor & I can’t knock its rating because I think the content is that good.

Thanks Eric-hope you keep dropping more programs.

5+ star content, delivery needs improvement

I’ve been using this app for daily workouts for about 4 months now. In my review I distinguish between the workout content and the technical delivery.

The content is the best I’ve found. Exceeds 5 stars. Eric’s workouts are challenging, diverse, flexible, educational, etc. Any superlative you can think of - the workouts have it. I especially like the mobility/recovery workouts and how there is a (different) workout for 6/7 days of the week. There were KB moves I was afraid to try but Eric has educational videos that breakdown the moves. I’m happy I got the yearly subscription.

The excellent content is handicapped by the app delivery. I see lots of room for improvement there:
1) Thus far, the monthly release updates have had various bugs - I don’t think there’s sufficient regression testing.
2) It should be easy to identify if a workout is a full follow-along or not.
3) The workout real-time displays should report progress with more granularity - e.g. workout 2/3 complete, rounds 1/4 complete.
4) full workout times should be accurate - they always say 60mins but many times it’s more like 45mins, sometimes even 30mins.
5) option to silence the app’s music, so it doesn’t compete with one’s personal playlist choices.
6) Last point for this review, more engagement from the admins and Eric on the FB page.

Thanks for the review and for adding what needs improvement! I appreciate the feedback! 1. We have addressed a lot for the bugs I believe you're talking about. If you're still having issues you can email me at support@ericleija.com and the team will be happy to assist you! 2. There are only 2 types of workouts on the app, follow along workouts and the circuit workouts. You can easily tell the circuit workouts (like the daily workouts) as you'll see the download button with the workout descripton, list of tools, etc. 3.I will have the dev team look into this as it's a feature we unfortunately don't currenly offer. 4. Those workout times are for the average user to complete based on my coaching experience. Some might be a bit off depending on your fitness level but for most when you include the joint mobility and the decompression should be accurate. I apologize if it's a bit off for you. 5. I will work on being more active on the FB page and inform the team to do so as well. Thanks again for your feedback and we'll work to get everything sorted to make your experience on the app as good as it can possibly be!

Almost amazing

I’m almost in love with this app. Leija makes some of the most amazing workouts i’ve ever done. I am speaking specifically to the 8 Week simple savage course i’ve purchased. i love the workouts, but have paused the program for myself because i don’t like using the app for it. i wish there was an easier way to check out the whole workout without having to go through all the videos. I hate that i can’t use my own music and have to listen to tribal drums or whatever sound was chosen for each video accompaniment clip. The music choice isn’t awful but it’s repetitive. Realistically, i imagine a large percentage of people following along are doing so from their phones and it’s just not that optimized for the phone. i’d love 2 options- one where you watch every video, and one where you just have a timer built in and exercise/rep counts i can read and do myself. Click on the movements for tutorial clips if i need. Some of the sets go for 5-10 rounds, which is totally fine but having to keep the app open (can’t put it in my pocket and keep my spot/timing in the workout) the whole time and listen to the music and the “let’s go!” before each round really makes me not want to do the workout.

I say all this because I REALLY want to run these Leija programs and use the app, but as it stands now i’d rather just read through the workouts, write em down and do it myself.

Thanks for the reivew and for your feedback! While downloading the workout there is an overview of the workout and a description you can see of the entire workout. We have also removed all of the music that was previously on the videos so you can listen to whatever music you love to workout to. I will take the rest of your feedback to the dev team and see what we can get added for you. I hope you're still enjoying the workouts and if you need anything else please feel free to reach out at support@ericleija.com.

The App needs more attention to detail

As the tital said, I've been using the app at home for over a year now and it needs a little more attention to detail, the main gripe I have is Eric seems to misscount some of the sets, meaning some exercises will be uneven, we will do 3 sets instead of 4 sets so one side will be uneven and we will have to replay the video to add a set to balance the sides out. Also there are still a few workouts thats don't include a video and the screen will be black while the timer is running which will lead the screen to shut off and we will have to stop the exercise to turn the screen on which is annoying to have to interrupt mid set like that. It also seems that Eric will do the same workouts as another month when he seems to be "busy" as in traveling or what not, some months he seems to skip adding anything new and falls back to previous months exercises which is kinda boring. It was said that he hired that strength and conditioning coach to come in and add to the workouts but that only seemed to last about a month and then went back to his regular exercises. I still really like using the workout as a guide to follow, incorporating some of Knees Over Toes Guy's techniques into Eric's workouts to work on mobility but I think it could be better for those that pay every month for a service.
