Not happy

It says 3 day free trail but charges you right away. So that sucks. I did like the visual aspect of how you drag and change your workout schedule. But then you click to start the workout you have to go in that order and go to another exercise.... there was someone on that machine. So what can I do. It's annoying. I found the app already annoying. I'm going back to the Fitbod app which I find the best. I was so looking forward to this as apparently you can even sync it with your cycle but ya. Big disappointment

Great app

I recently started using this app after discovering Stef on IG. I absolutely love it! From various workouts, meditations, and meal options (that include health requirements), this app has everything you need. I also like that I can track my workouts, and plan my meals etc in the in-app calendar. Highly recommend!

My first try

Hi! This is only my third day trying the app and I’m just happy to use it, I’ll love to comeback and let you know how I’m feeling after a month. Wish me the best!!

Back for more

I left a review 3 years ago saying I couldn’t rearrange the workouts etc. anyway here I am back again 3 years later using the app and it’s awesome to see it now has these features. I am loving the home Pilates videos this time around too.

3 years ago I gave it 2 stars and this time around I’m giving it 4 stars, I would have given it 5 stars if it had a feature to add additional movements to your workout or like a custom “build a workout” section as well. Sometimes I have the time to add a few extras in, or sometimes I want to group a couple of the different Pilates options together, but can’t. A build a workout feature would be an awesome addition. Other than that, loving this app.

Loving the app!

I’ve been on & off in the gym but this app has really helped me. I don’t usually pay for subscriptions but this is one i will pay for. I love the app. I love that it both shows you the workouts & also a worded description on them. - this is a review i posted about mid 2023, i proceeded to say it would be to nice to be able to track the weights in lbs too, not just kilos & they did. -
As of October 2024- one other change id love is being able to make your own workouts. I love the programs they have & the videos AND written instructions that come with them. I just don’t always want to follow their program & while i can edit the workouts I’m doing, i can’t seem to have it save. So every workout i have to change them. I’d love to be able to compile my own workouts from the ones they have instead of having to follow a program. -

😬

I didn’t think that I would have to give a subscription after 15 minutes of filling in information as I’m only 14 and I can afford to pay the money, too overpriced.

4.5*

Edit: Awesome app! Is there a possibility to be able to pair the apple watch with the app? I would like to lock my phone screen and be able to control it through the watch.

I LOVE the workouts and challenges. I just have some request for me to give this app a 5 star. -I would like to be able to see the what exercises come next in the workout without having to exit. This way I can prepare for the next workout without loosing time. -I would like for timed exercises to let me hit start on the timer instead of the timer starting as soon as I hit next. -I would also like for the programe to not continue on the days that I did not worked out but instead stay where I left off. Thank you for your work Stef and team!

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to review the App, your feedback is appreciated and noted. We are pleased to say we have recently launched an update which allows you to preview the next exercise in any workout and also swipe easily to see the workout overview during the workout at any time. We have also recently launched a 'Holiday Mode' feature which allows you to pause your guide at any time and resume it if you need a break at any point. Make sure you always update to the latest version of the App to see these updates as soon as they launch. Thank you.

Great app! - not the best workout layout

I’ve been using WeGlow for about 6 weeks now and have just finished my first programme. I love the navigation of the app as well as the ability to move your workout calendar around and add in additional workouts if you want to (haven’t had this on other apps)

I also love the nutrition and food options, such a wide variety and love the different sections they provide (as a veggie I usually find apps vegetarian options very limited and not very fun). Always something new to try on WeGlow.

My one con of this app is when you’re in a workout it doesn’t account for racking/unracking between moves, sometimes I feel like I’m rushing to keep up with the app.
I would like to be able to pause the videos too as I don’t need these playing consistently.
It also isn’t easy to track PB and to see how you’re doing on progressive overload, I think tracking weight/seeing previous weight should be more prominent on the workouts (less fiddly to get to and use). I also can’t work out how to swap it from lbs to kg.

I am loving this app though and haven’t had many glitches with it in terms of going in/out of the app during a workout and issues with losing plans etc.

Very impressed with the details of the app

Just joined the WeGlow app yesterday when I was looking for a plan to start at the gym. I’m already ver impressed !

The app enabled me to focus on the workout and not have to do preliminary research on YouTube or Insta like I used to do. I absolutely love the UX and how it’s custom based on your needs. Small details such as if you wish to see the macros on meals or not, truly makes me feel seen. I joined this app wishing to help me with my fitness journey, not wishing to lose any weight and the app adapts for this, which I love.

Doing a lot of research, it looks like other fitness apps are more targereted for men or for fitness people that are in Olympian shapes. When finding this app, I immediately felt it was more accessible to me.

Still new to app

I'm only on day 2 of hot girl summer guide, but giving review as of experience now. Pros- I love the split workout schedule. Super easy to follow, can be done at home or gym. I love that it has variation (weights, Pilates, & cardio). It has some meal ideas. You can adjust the rest time in the workouts and add details such as reps/ weights. You can also swap out workouts for others that work better for you. You can sync to your watch to track steps and hrydration in the app. Con- so FAR I haven't seen many workouts geared towards just arms. Workouts have been lower body/ upper body splits. I'd like more specific workouts for glutes/ arms/ back. Maybe they are in other programs and i just haven't seen them. I also wish they had more basic, simple meal ideas and macros listed for recipes. Once again, maybe I haven't spent enough time looking through them. I'd also like to know exactly what weights the trainers used per specific lifts... like does stef use 2x30s for her RDLs? 15s for her shoulder press? Everyone lifts at their own rate, but I like knowing how I compare in my lifts and want to know what to work towards. Maybe a random post of "what I eat on an average day". And more feedback and interactions from the trainers themselves. So far I really love the app and set up overall. Just sharing a few things I personally am looking for or random thoughts I get exploring the app.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, we really appreciate it! We're glad to hear that you're getting so much out of your guide. You can also supplement your programme of workouts by searching for standalone workouts in the app (you can search by filtering options or free text in the workouts tab). There are so many upper body workouts to choose from, we're sure you'll find exactly what you need. Regarding meals, you can switch on your calories and macros via the Nutrition tab in your WeGLOW profile. We also share lots of information on the WeGLOW.app website in the blog section, as well as the LEARN section of the app if you need more information. Lastly, in the app you'll find a link to the WeGLOW WhatsApp community where our Community Leaders and other community members are on hand to help you get the best experience out of WeGLOW, and connect with other like-minded app users. Thanks again for your review, and please don't forget to also share your progress & journey with us if you'd like, by tagging us on socials @weglow - we love to see it!
