Rip off! Not what it is advertised to be !
I never write reviews but thought it’s a must with how disappointed I am with my “coaching” experience.
They are amazing at marketing I’ll give them that.
But coaching not so much,
1 example , I asked for some cardio / hiit training in my workout plan. The response was “your training from home so haven’t got access to gym cardio equipment ie treadmill etc “
They couldn’t even design a body weighted hiit session for me ! So I had to design my own !
They market it as if the scale shouldn’t be a indicator to hinder progress , but my “coaching” experience everything was about weight , when I didn’t even want to loose weight ! I said I wasn’t bothered about the scale number ! But I HAD to get down to that number before anything else could be done.
It is a scam, coaches that I’m not even sure are coaches! The meals are already generated into the app & used my Thousands of coaches .
It really did not seem like a 1-1 online coaching experience , I’m not happy with the service provided & it was £120 a month for a 6 month contract! Biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent ! Which is devastating in its self but I literally spent nearly a year building up the confidence to go ahead with spending that money to better myself .. & it was nothing like expected or advertised to be .
I have a friend that had been “coached” by them too & agree with everything I’ve stated.
I do not recommend ! Save you money! Don’t be scammed.Show lessS.arah30

We're sad to read your comments about the coaching being a scam and that it was a waste of money. We really do care about all of our clients and the experience that you have had, and the last thing we would want is for you to be feeling at all dissatisfied. So we'd love to chat to you about this personally if you'd be happy to reach out to us.Rip off - do not use!
Complete rip off - DO NOT USE THIS APP. Not worth £5 a month, let alone the extortionate £125 a month they charge. Go for Evolve You or Shreddy Instead for a tiny fraction of the price!
Their “coaches” are not qualified to be giving nutrition advice , just Instagram gym girls regurgitating generic and widely known information from other sites. The app itself is simplistic and I would not call this “coaching” in any way. As other reviews have pointed out, this is just generic workout plans which are freely available on Google YouTube, and generic meal ideas (NOT full meal plans) which are not tailored to your preferences in any way. They probably give the same rough meal ideas and workout to everyone.
Once they have taken your money they will ignore your emails/messages raising concerns about the fact that the services do not live up to what is advertised. It is impossible to contact customer services or get a reply, they just keep redirecting you to the app.
They lock you in to a minimum 3 month subscription which is also most impossible to get out of unless you dispute the charges and block them directly with your bank.Show lessChellyR123
I requested accountability and a gym programme
I requested one month gym programme and accountability. I was told I have to subscribe for 3 months but I can cancel. I was promised that I would have accountability and that I would receive the gym programme. I explained I did not want to continue afterwards because I don’t have a gym while I am on holiday then. I was very clear from the start with Hannah and Emma.
It’s been more than 2 weeks and I still do not have a gym programme and get a response once a day (in the middle of the night) with no changes to the plan.
It’s a generic programme with no accountability, no encouragement, no one there for you when you actually need them.
The app does not have notifications so you have to keep checking for a response all day too which is extremely frustrating.
The generic plan also meant I could not train 2 days in a row because it had the same exercises so if you have sore muscles from the previous session you cannot train.
It felt very much like they do not have experience in coaching or strength training. But still took 190 pounds off my card when I was told it was 150 pounds and a 25 pound charge for start up. I feel scammed!Show lessPhatsackofpotatoes
