5 star fitness
Love this app! I’m the strongest I’ve been in my entire life!
Best exercise for perimenopause!
I’m 47 and been exercising my whole life. This is honestly the best thing I’ve ever done. I feel amazing! The coaching and support from Alice is so great and makes those days when you feel like you just can’t do it so much easier. The pace, length and intensity is spot on. Highly recommend!
Completely love it 🫶🏼
Alice!!! I’ve returned to your app about 4 months ago. After having my second little girl I suffered from a prolapsed disc in my lower back and basically lost all strength and a good chunk of mobility in my left leg and came out of working out for a good year as a result of this. But since doing your workouts my strength and muscle everywhere but in particular my left leg/ankle has returned. At one point I couldn’t tiptoe on my left side and now I’m running again 🥹 my body literally craves movement and your app has allowed me to fall back in love with exercise 🫶🏼 I’ve recently taken the plunge and joined a gym and I take you along with me and do your on demand challenges there. Thank you thank you thank you for always giving the best support and encouragement in your workouts and taking the time to really coach me. Honestly couldn’t recommend you enough 🙌🏼💜

Love the Give Me Strength App
Alice has finally got me to stick to a strength plan. I love working out at home with her and the Give Me Strength App.
Where to start?
I don’t know where to begin. I don’t write reviews really. But this app is so important to me, as is Alice.
Someone told me about Alice during lockdown and I started joining her classes ( at 7am). I found them difficult but felt good afterwards.
I hate gyms and have been a committed outdoor runner for most of my adult life. Forsaking all other exercise.
As I’ve aged (now 57) I’ve slowed and was becoming less motivated. Also, with a lot of runners my age, I’d become more injury prone.
I subscribed to Give Me Strength about 18 months ago and I can clearly state it’s changed my life.
I’ve become stronger, leaner, more committed and I’ve joined a gym- where I love doing Alice’s classes I’m running faster than I have in many years, maybe decades. And it feels easier.
But probably, most importantly, Alice has made it possible for me to say “not today” and to have rest days when maybe I wouldn’t before.
I am so grateful to have found a PT who I can relate to and who makes me feel good about myself. The classes and teaching are better than being in a gym with a PT- I promise. You will get the results you are hoping for and you will love the classes.
I hope this is not too long but I wanted ti say it all x

Not beginner friendly
Firstly I’ve followed Alice for a while and love her content and ethos so this is no way a dig at her personally, but I was a bit disappointed by the app as it’s not really aimed at a beginner level, nor does it support beginners enough. For example, day one of the beginner gym programme includes ‘hanging scapular retractions’ and exercises using the cable machine. There is no video or help showing you how to set up the machines or guidance on getting into the right position etc. I think it’s worth considering for a compete beginner, walking into a busy gym and using these sort of machines / doing these movements is incredibly daunting and definitely not something to do on day 1.
I was expecting to master the basic compound movements first and then greater guidance on how to use a cable machine or how to do a hanging scapular retraction or how/where to setup a resistance band for a ‘Pallof Press’. Sadly these exercises were not aimed at a beginner level.
I also tried changing from gym to home workouts in the settings to see if it would be a bit simpler, but the app wouldn’t refresh and kept showing me gym workouts (even after saving my setting changes) so this was quite disappointing.
The app also seems quite basic for the price paid and for me there was nowhere near the level of support and guidance for a beginner for that price.

Not for beginners
I can’t afford a trainer, so I’ve been looking for an app that will literally teach me the basics of strength training. I never touch the weights at the gym – too intimidating and I’m worried about putting my back out. But I really want to learn, there just isn’t much out there for complete beginners.
I was hoping Alice’s plan might include step by step demos of the different exercises, but it doesn’t. I selected the beginner plan and the first exercise it suggested is a sumo deadlift (no idea) and I definitely don’t have the confidence to swing a kettlebell without injuring myself.
I got the free trial to try this out. I would’ve happily paid the subscription if there were clear instructions (with audio) for all the exercises in the plan. A few of the exercises have some written instructions but for a gym companion app personally I’d need video and audio.

Amazing coaching!
I’ve been following Alice’s workouts since the start of the pandemic and have been faithful even since. Explanations are always throrough and clear. Modifications are always offered. Could not recommend enough. Thank you Alice!!! You’ve changed how I workout.
Fab fitness app!!
I have been following Alice for years on Instagram and I joined Give Me Strength at the start of 2022 so been going about a year now. I am absolutely loving it - I started home workouts during the first lockdown with an online PT and I’ve just carried on since. I’m definitely more of a home workout person now (with the occasional gym PT session) and Alice’s app is perfect for that with the monthly strength challenges. I love how relatable she is and following along with the videos makes you feel like it’s live. The other trainers, Zoe for cardio and Laura for yoga, are also amazing additions. The Facebook group is also great for motivation and a little community. All in all a wonderful app that I would 100% recommend to anyone - you also get a 7 day free trial.

A great workout app
I have followed Alice on Instagram for a long time and this year I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the app. I have not long finished the 8 week summer programme and absolutely loved it. I was sore in places I didn’t even realise I could be sore (in a good way of course). The strength weeks are always my favourite as that’s my favourite way to workout. The timings are also perfect, not too long or too short (approx 40 mins). Well done Alice for providing motivating classes to follow which in turn helps me stay consistent and eager to workout. I can now do exercises I couldn’t do before and feel stronger each week! Looking forward to the next challenge. 💕
