Good

I like the app, however the sets/reps/rest time should be better explained. Very confusing.

Not worth it

Tried the 7 day trial and the work outs all seem the same. 3 training plans and the daily “quick workout” is almost always the same. There is little to no variety. I love Tim Kennedy but I’m a bit disappointed from seeing the workouts he posts and these are the workouts he gives us. Was looking forward to EMOM or AMRAP incorporated.

Hey Tim, Thanks for reaching out to 4Pillars Fitness. Please keep in mind Tim does not write all the programming for the app. Many of the workouts he post on social media are designed for a group working out together based on who is present. The plan on our program and the future ones we will be releasing as his Signature programs are results-driven programs he has used when following a specific plan. - The 4Pillars Fitness Team

No Recordkeeping

I am trying the advanced workouts. They are good; varied but thorough across the body’s major muscle groups and fitness needs. Challenging too. But, and this is a big but, there is no way to record my progress or make notes about my performance. This makes it almost impossible to track unless I want to spend 20 minutes each workout separately recording results in another program. And, this is another big problem, There is no advice on time between sets or recommended weight. If I weren’t experienced I’d be lost, probably wasting too much time. For something that costs $120 per year, expensive for an app, I’d hoped for more. Unless you have a lot of experience, don’t use this app.

Hey There, Thanks for reaching out to 4Pillars Fitness. This is something we are looking to add to the app in the near future in an update. Please keep checking back. -The 4Pillars FItness Team

Hopefully there’s more

Hoping to see more from this app. Truthfully I want to keep supporting anything TK does, and I had high hopes for this. That being said…

I’m pleased with the intensity in the paid workouts, but there really needs to be some added features, especially for $15/mo. For instance, having a timer as you move to each workout or group would be helpful. As it stands right now, the timer takes up the whole screen and you can’t watch a video or remind yourself of reps without clicking out of the timer. Also it’s kind of disappointing that the Intermediate plan is literally the same exercises for 10 weeks in a row. But if that’s going to be the case it would be great to have fields to put your weights so you can track progress.

It’s very incomplete and basic for a fitness app, much less one that’s $15/mo… I’m not sure that value is there as it stands. Yeah they’re good workouts, but there’s not variety from week to week. Needs more features.

Hey BamaBaller, Thanks for leaving some feedback on the app. We will definitely look at this with our design team to see how some of these ideas can be implemented. We will be constantly improving and updating the app over the course of it's life. Regarding the workouts, in some programs the workouts will be the same week to week, albeit the rep and set scheme will change and so should the weight week to week. This is how we progressively overload the body to achieve growth and results. We hope you consider continuing to use the app as we make improvement and continue to release more programs. - The 4 Pillars Fitness Team

Takes all the guess work out!

So glad I found this app! Tim’s workouts are transforming the way athletes prepare! But, I’m not superstar and to have this incredible amount of helpful information is amazing. Plus I always have something new to do each day! So far this app has held me accountable and I feel like my cardio is better. I feel like I had been wasting so much time doing gym exercises that didn’t help me athletically.

Great Idea

I like the concept but it doesn’t seem to work on the IPAD platform for some reason. The screen is too small and you can not navigate. Otherwise I really like the way you can follow the instructions for each workout.

Fantastic programming

TK and Juan are the most passionate trainers I have ever seen, especially through an app. The exercises are difficult, which means there is longevity. They’re already adding more programs and it looks like we are only at the beginning of this journey. This app is a must for anyone looking to change their physique and their lifestyle.

Decent but a ways to go

I’ve been waiting for this app, but was somewhat disappointed when I first downloaded. First off, I’m in an area (not back home) where wifi is spotty at best. So the videos will never load. I was hoping maybe the workouts would have somewhat of a description for each one, and possibly coaching cues. Secondly, not being at a place that has all the gym equipment you could hope for, there are no alternatives listed for a workout. Finally, it seems it might have been rushed just to try and make as much money as possible. I think it will be a great app once some more thought and detail is put into it.

Hey There, Thanks for the feedback. We just released the app and we are working to bring updates to market as we receive feedback. Our newest release will have descriptions for each workout. Our newest update will also have alternate exercises and movements. We are also adding a bodyweight only program, and currently offer the minimalist program for those without a ton of equipment to utilize. We look forward to implementing new ideas based on your feedback and making this app continue to be one of the best apps in the industry. --The 4 Pillars Fitness Team

Awesome app

Really helpful and clear! I have enjoyed using it! Thanks.

Great workouts, poor flow in the app

First off, I love TK, big admirer here. I follow him, support him, share many of the same values.

The work outs, and philosophy of fitness is great, but the flow when actually working out is not my idea of user friendly. I like how you can play each video on command, and see/follow along, but when I press “begin workout” I want those videos to keep rolling one after another. Especially in the circuits. Of course with a pause button, skip forward/skip back 10s. Having to stop and navigate the app between each video is very annoying. Maybe other people don’t find this an issue and that’s fine, just putting this out there hoping they will see it, hear it as constructive criticism, and offer an option to play through the entire workout.

Stay sweaty my friends.
