Leave a Review Nike Training Club
Apple Watch use is glitchy
I have been using the Nike training app on my iPhone 7 and the app itself is lovely. Very easy to follow and the workouts suit many ability levels. However as soon I use my Apple Watch with the app it goes drastically downhill. Calories burnt for a 20 minute workout show up as 3. If I use my watch or receive a text/call/notification then it drops the workout altogether. For my exercise rings it shows maybe a 5th of the workout as being Nike, the rest comes up as general exercise. If I try to complete my workout via the watch app & select where and how hard I worked, it glitches and spams me that it’s in need of a rating. No matter how many times a rating is addedShow lessstaceynz789
Update is ok...ish
NTC has always been my #1 fitness app and have used it for years (practically forever) so I was super hyped for the new update. But it’s already problematic and it’s been two days.
The premium features are good, the workouts look cool and the tips are ok but tracking activity is garbage. Before, it would track on my Apple Watch and show up both on my Health App and NTC; the app showing activity and buzzing on my watch as the workout progressed. With premium, it doesn’t do that. At all. My watch will say Let’s Start Training and not move past that screen for the entire workout. Not tracking anything. When I used it yesterday, after completing the workout, it said I burned zero calories and worked out for zero minutes (mind you, it was 30 minute workout). This morning, the app crashed and didn’t count the workout towards the program.
Nike need to get it together if they plan on charging $15 a month. It’s totally not worth it, if people are paying for something that doesn’t track activity properly (or at all). The app performed better when it was free.Show lessjnxed
Cannot fault this app!
This is the only training app that doesn’t require any add on purchases which is great for a uni student! I walk away from each circuit feeling incredible! Wide variety of workouts that allow you to choose from the muscle group or workout type!
I’ve been using this app for nearly 2 years now and tried other fitness apps. Always find myself coming back to this one.
My only suggestion is for there to be sessions dedicated to cool downing and stretching as I feel that that time allocated to cool down and stretch in the sessions are not long enough.Show lessBellojay1116655
SO MANY BUGS
Firstly, it’s a good app with good workouts and UI and what I really like about it is it includes workouts with free weights so you don’t have to pray that the machines are free or you’ll stuff up your routine. BUT there are just too many bugs. I thought I’d list them as it will be more clear, these don’t happen all the time but I would say more often than not...
1. Apple Watch not syncing with phone app, just keeps saying start the workout on your phone even though I have.
2. Apple Watch app not realising it’s in a workout so it doesn’t look for HR or calories burned. (If I go to the native HR app it will show current HR but not in NTC).
3. Workout time/ HR/ calories burned do not get sent properly to the activity app on iPhone. (I’ll finish a 45 min workout and the NTC workout in the activity app will only say 14 mins.. this happens all the time).
Requested features, please add support for changing the music volume on the watch (like the native workout app). Another good one would be to suggest breakfast / lunch / dinner recipes to go with the 6/8 week workout plans. I know the app is free but I think this would be hugely beneficial.
I’ll keep using the app because it has one of the best UI’s out there (and it’s free) but everyday I check to see if there’s an update to fix these bugs.Show lesswillholsten
Fantastic app, Some issues
I really think that this is a great app for all ages and it is also amazing because it is free. Although, one thing that did annoy me was that I wanted to work on my upper body specifically, but had no equipment. Because of this, all of the workouts that would have benefited me required even some minimal equipment like dumbbells. So I have a limited amount of workouts I can do. I would honestly give this app a ten out of ten if there wasn’t this issue and I know that it is also a bit of my fault but I would have liked to have seen a few more workouts that don’t need equipment and are more focused on certain parts of the body. Thanks, hope Nike takes this into consideration.Show lessCharles Cutbush
THE ONLY APP YOU NEED
Honestly this app is amazing. I have lost 20 kgs just from using this app for toning and exercise. I used to hate exercise, I hated doing it, it was boring and it made me feel useless and unfit. I started off with something I liked, yoga and then after doing those awesome work outs I started to try other workouts on here. I wasn’t trying to lose weight, I wasn’t on a diet or any programs but I toned myself and all my friends tell me how fantastic I look. I recommend this app to everyone I meet and I honestly love it and use it all the time. I love being able to hook it up to my tv and it plays my music and I pick whatever exercise I want and then I just do it. I really feel like I’m accomplishing something and I’ve never felt better. I can’t believe it’s FREE AS WELL like seriously this is a premium app and I can’t do without it!
I love the celebs and doing work outs with them, I love that it has a Nike run app that I use as well. My fave exercise is the tank top arms work out! So great! Love it! Can’t say it enough!!Show less_lindy_jane
Workouts
I love this app so far!! I am a highly competitive high school basketball player, and am used to very intense workouts and/or conditioning sessions. This is a great app for working out during the off season. It offers motivating commentary (often annoying, sometimes encouraging), and easy-hard workouts. It has many short work outs, giving me no excuse to skip one, and always making sure I have time for one. Whether it’s midday, at night, early morning, or all three! I will continue to use this app, as it serves me well. I only wish they added more basketball stars (such as Lebron James, The King 👑) or added an easier way to message the experts. My father works with the military, so I travel a lot. Currently I am in japan, and can sadly not send messages to the experts on the Nike team. However, those are my only complaints. Overall, this is a nice, quality app with a great music feature, and an even greater easy to use layout. I rate this 5/5.Show lessKyonWolfy
Bring plans back!
I’ve been using this app to since 2014 and mainly for the Plans! I never leave reviews but I have to say, Nike has downgraded this app! I just completed the 6 weeks collection program and was HIGHLY annoyed that whoever created this new feature didn’t have enough sense to even mark off the workouts or weeks! It look like Nike just throw these workouts on the app. The Plans tracked my weeks and days for me and seeing the green check next to the workout was both rewarding and motivating! Not only did the Plans include mobility workouts, it forced/help me to get into yoga. Now in the Collection it’s an option that I have to remember to scroll down and look for while remembering what week I’m on because Nike took that feature off! And I can’t believe someone didn’t think to check these workouts off or to label the weeks. That is the most annoying thing about the new Collection!
Nike, please make the Plans available again and let your users choose between the Plans or Collections. Taking the Plans completely off was a bad move!

This used to be the best app ever made but...
I’ve been using this app for many years and it was the perfect training companion. There were some minor hiccups in the past (some interferences with Apple Music app while exercising or sometimes the training would freeze if you were mirroring it on a tv..) but it was by far the best app ever developed.
Sadly developers decided to remove the planning feature which was the huge plus over all the others apps. The app was able to support the definition of a specific training and support the weekly schedule, adjusting based on participation and feedback. I can’t tell if the app was really able to adjust the training over time, but it definitely provided the feeling of being followed and supported during sessions. Especially for those (like me) that have little time for training and want a product that is doing all the preparation, improving efficiency.
Even if this app contains a lot of outstanding material, I’m giving it just one star because without the plan feature this is just a average confusing app, that makes it even harder to identify how to exercise in the little available time. Defining what to do is just a nightmare.
BRING THE PLAN FEATURE BACK..I’m going to stop using it for now and transition to a easier app..for the first time in many years I even bought a pair of shoes from a different brand since Nike is not my favorite brand anymore...Show lessCRE480
Developer Response
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We realize that the upcoming removal of plans upset you – and we’re sorry about that. Working out is hard enough, and we want to help you stick with your routine. We’ve taken the “best of” the workouts from your current plan and added expert tips & guidance to keep you going in the form of Collections. You can find the various Collections in the Workout Tab. Thanks for training with us, The NTC TeamBest Fitness App
Great range of workouts for a range of abilities that you can do anywhere. Love that it has no in app purchases that limit its functionality. The only thing that would make this app better would be more flexibility to edit the weekly plan so that you can swap out or add workouts. Regardless, I highly recommendShow lessMonmacalister
