Love the app

Really love this app, itโ€™s got lots of workouts plus knowledge and recipes.
I do wish you could tick off the workouts youโ€™d done though, I know you can view your workout history but Iโ€™d love it it whilst youโ€™re browsing through workouts it showed which ones youโ€™d done already.

Only thing I donโ€™t like is that I canโ€™t cast it from my phone to my smart tv or load the web version on my tv so Iโ€™m stuck watching it on a phone.

Hey there! Thanks so much for your excellent feedback. We love the idea of being able to check off the workouts you've done โœ… Sorry to hear you're having trouble casting to your TV โ€“ reach out to our team and they'll do their best to get to the bottom of it: support@cgxapp.com.

Needs more

I am enjoying the beast mode program but I'm kind of disappointed that the app doesn't include all her YT workouts.

It's also kind of annoying that when you start a program it doesn't automatically take you to the next workout when you finish one. For example, I'm on beast mode day 7. When I go into the app to start my workout, I have to find the program, then scroll to down to whichever day I'm on. Maybe it's not big deal, but it is just really annoying to me.

A feature to add more rest time between lifts/ sets would also be great (Ladder app offers this) and maybe an add on of 10 min abs or HIT as an option when you finish your workout (a feature BODi offers) Adding in/ teaming up with my fitness pal or something similar for counting macros/ calories would also be a nice touch, but that's not a big deal really.

I love CG YT and just really wish the app had more to it.

Just some ideas to help take the app to the next level. CG is my absolute favorite trainer and I'd love to get more out of her app.

Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback and ideas, we appreciate it! All the content on CGX is brand new and exclusive to CGX, so that's why Caroline's YouTube workouts aren't there. But we love the idea of adding them in one day! You'll also see your next workout in a program on the CGX website and we hope to bring that to the app soon. Have you had a chance to check out the other parts of CGX โ€“ meal ideas, knowledge articles, form library, etc.?

Canโ€™t even make an account

It keeps telling me โ€œerror: user with email is already being usedโ€. I have a very unique email, so how is this possible? I tried signing up via Google, Apple, and with two separate emails. I even went through the process of changing my Google password to get signed up. This is an epic pain, because now I have to relog into multiple devices, apps, and websites with my new password. No dice. Tried just logging in, thinking I had accidentally created an account (despite downloading the app for the first time today), still nothing. I canโ€™t user this app, hence the one-star review.

Awesome app! Caroline is unbelievable

Best training app for those looking for a real workout. Intense and a lot of variety. Caroline Girvan is extremely generous with advise, tricks and tips, interesting reads on various health subject! I love it!

Marilyne, thank you so much for your incredible review! ๐Ÿ˜

Fantastic App

I love the amount of work and thought that went into this app - from the amazing workouts, nutritional info, exercise info, trends etc. everything is well researched and written. I just use my phone and donโ€™t cast so I donโ€™t have any issues getting anything to work.

Jenn, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! ๐Ÿ˜

Love. Every. Minute. Of. GSX

I have been following Caroline since spring of 2020, and have been literally seeing Girvenators grow into millions in the next couple of years. And of course I moved to GSX, an app that is solely dedicated for people who want to get stronger. I use it minimally five times a week and the app is exactly what I need, no ads and pure training. Iโ€™m getting stronger and have told everyone who are interested in strength training about the app. Worth every penny and more, much more.

More variety needed

I loved the variety in Carolineโ€™s YouTube videos and I wish the app had the same variety. I miss the cardio/HIIT workouts and was hoping this would be offered within the programs.
Additionally, while I do appreciate repeating exercises for muscle strength, growth, and perfecting form, I find some of the exercises and formats get repeated TOO often which can get monotonous. Maybe different exercises to target the same muscle group(s) to keep the workouts fresh?

Also, I wish there was an option to delete a workout that was viewed. Sometimes Wi-Fi goes down & I have to restart or I am pre-viewing the workout before I actually do the workout, and it shows it as being completed. Would be nice to delete the previewed or duplicated workout as it shows a false number of workouts completed.

Hey Jacqueline, thanks for your feedback! We'll happily share your suggestions with Caroline. CGX is coming up to its 1st birthday and we're excited for it to continue to grow to be just as varied as Caroline's YouTube channel ๐Ÿ˜Š

I love this incredible app!

The CGX app features the excellent training and perfectly designed workout programs of Caroline Girvan. Along with this, there are well-researched and meaningful articles written by experts, Caroline included. The form library, which shows Carolineโ€™s guidance on proper form, is extremely helpful. I recommend this app to anyone who is looking for amazing workouts that are combined with a holistic, joyful approach to health and fitness.

Susie, what a wonderful review! Thank you so much for your kind words, and we're so happy that you're enjoying all the CGX has to offer ๐Ÿฅฐ

Is there anyone better than CG? I doubt it!

I am new to CGโ€™s world and itโ€™s clear the impact she has on people; I love that! My question is will there be an iPad specific version? I can obviously see and open the app on the iPad, but cannot view it horizontally (which is how my iPad is supported by the stand/keyboard)โ€ฆa small thing, but important to me! Thanks for everything :)

Hey Olive, thanks so much for your kind feedback! ๐Ÿ˜ At the moment, the app will always display in portrait mode unless you're watching a workout. But we like the idea of being able to tilt the screen when you're reading something, especially on an iPad, so watch this space!

Great workouts, shame about app

I love CG workouts, they are fantastic! Unfortunately the app is very annoying, as you can only view articles etc in portrait mode. Iโ€™d like to be able to turn my device to landscape to read the articles and browse the app. Once you begin a workout it automatically does turn to landscape. This is very frustrating and has stopped me signing up again!
