Good... BUT inaccurate of recording of workouts on Apple Watch
The functionality and user-ability of the app is excellent. The exercises are great, the app is well present. The only thing that lets this app down is the inaccurate data recording for workouts and calories burned on the Apple Watch and/or activity app. If you leave the app by receiving a call, or minimise the app via the control centre on the watch OR the iPhone, it stops the recording of your activity in terms of calories and workout information the Apple Watch. You also cannot do workouts straight after each other, it accumulates the calories from the last workout into the next one when recording the workout. I have to close the app down and wait a few minutes before doing another workout. Please fix the data recording for Apple Watch users. If you leave the app open for days or leave the app to answer a message/call or use the control centre, it inaccurately records the data. Please please please fix.Show lessAlvin Yeb
Great app for anyone and any level
Let me start with thanking Nike for making the premium a free service during this COVID-19 situation.
I was skeptical before using it. Being locked down at home and I gave it a try and I realised its structured well to cater for people with all fitness level and with or without equipment. I recommended this to my friends and they all are enjoying it as much as I do. We actually do it as a virtual group at the same time.
1 improvement (hence 4 stars, its actually 4.75 stars from me😊) and 1 feature request from me.
Improvement: the beep sound at to end a exercise needs to be more loud, like a bell. Its weak and I miss it with the background music.
Feature request: A hosting session and friends of the host who are NTC premium members to join the session would be absolutely great. Nike will get more subscribers and generate revenue with the premium subscription.Show lessThamizhn
NTC review
I started using this app about 7 months ago. I loved it. I really liked how you can follow along, it times you, still plays your music etc. I love structure so I liked picking a workout collection. I was in the middle of doing the “6 week get lean” workout collection, which was great and gave me a variety of workouts to do. However, suddenly out of nowhere it was gone. The number of workout collections is now minimal and maybe are “all levels or beginner” or they only have about 12 workouts to add to cardio. I was very disappointed that they removed this feature because it was great for those who wanted to follow a workout schedule, which is why I gave the app 3 stars because now it is more time consuming to select a variety of workouts you want to do on a daily and make sure they are all different to come up with your own workout plan. And the premium workout plans they provide do not give a preview of the workouts so you don’t know if it is something you wouldn’t want to do or not.Show lessAly__Marie
First day of the rest of your life
This app leaves all excuses at the door. I have been using it for YEARS and it never lets me down. Free PT sessions with tracking and encouragement - it’s great. One thing that might benefit it for the home workout is ‘better at the basics’ like providing advice on how to do a squat properly, how to position pelvis during stretches, when to practice breathing. Download it today and just don’t think about, just do it (pun not intended) every day and in 1 week you’ll feel stronger, 3 weeks you’ll notice body changes, 6 weeks others will notice and by then it’s become a habit!Show lesslovesagoodicecream
Great travel app
I started using this app a good 8 years ago, using it here and there over the years. I feel like the older version made it easier to find your usual workouts, and had better workouts. In the current version (using it a lot these days, since we are all on social lockdown), there is not a spot to find all your downloaded workouts- if you want to easily find them, you have to bookmark AND download them. My other gripe is that it only will let you use Apple Music to play along. Having other streaming services implemented seems like a given. Finally, “equipment.” While you can search workouts based on “basic,” “no,” and “full” equipment, it would be great if I could search based on which equipment I have. While I may not have a bench, I do have other pieces that fall into the full category. Currently, you have to go into each workout to see what equipment is needed, and it’s a bit tedious.
A little off tangent, but I would love it if each workout had an “info” button of sorts, featuring the apparel / shoes worn in the workout. I understand a lot of the workouts were recorded a while ago, but knowing what type of shoes the model was wearing would be helpful. Generally, there’s an updated version that comes close (basically, Nike, there’s a pair worn that i would love to have!😉).Show lessiTif
Great workouts...please improve iPad layout!
Been using the Nike training and running apps on and off on my phone for many years. They are the main reason I would consider getting an Apple Watch (but haven’t as I like the Fitbit sleep tracking and not having to charge daily).
Having got a new iPad, have installed both apps but then was initially disappointed as the iPad layout stayed in the portrait format (and didn’t adjust despite iPad being put in landscape. Was almost going to abandon it but started a workout and then found that the workouts do adjust to the orientation of the iPad which is great as makes them much easier to follow than on a phone.
Anything the developers can do to make the app more iPad friendly overall? Otherwise great app! Thank you!Show lessTravel monkey
Please Keep the Premium after
I’ve used Free version of NTC on and off as it has a good variety of workouts and I like incorporating different styles into my routine.
Now with the “stay at home” challenges facing us, I’m doing all my workout home, so I needed a bigger collection. NTC at first wasn’t my go to since there’s another free app that has all variety of workouts for free and I could rely on that better as my number 1, but now that NTC has made their premium plan free during this time (which is a very nice gesture), I am using it as my number 1 option and loving it!
I really hope they keep it free for long, as the paid version pushes away many of us simply since there are many alternatives for most people that are either free or included in their daily gyms they attend. But a free NTC is very attractive and helpful in motivating more workout from home. Thank you for making this available for free during this time and hope it stays that way for long!Show lessMehrdad Wanderer
Good app
I kept putting off buying the premium version but I finally did and am thoroughly impressed. The workouts are way more intense and I definitely see better results now. I know people were upset about it not being free, but you’re getting a lot of programs at a discounted price in comparison to joining a gym where you’d be paying almost 400 for the year so you get your money’s worth. In addition they give nutritional information that complements the workouts that you’re doing. I’m surprised that people find that bothersome. All in all you’re getting your moneys worth for great sessions. I recommend that if you do get the premium version, get the year because you do save more than paying monthly.
*Edit*
It’s still good, however the app doesn’t properly track the amount of calories burned. So it’ll say I burned about 250 but once my workout is done it will say I only burned like 140 or even 45! Please fix this glitch. Ive learned that exited the app mid work out and continuously going to activity app tracks it properly but it’s still inconvenient as hell.Show lessNoirebutterly91
Needs work and mature!
Great app but going through growing pain seems like! I have the paid premium version:
Pros:
- Great variation and style of workouts and instructors
- Great core/ab workout built into most exercises.
-Great user interface on the app, very crisp and engaging, love the app design and the whole idea and concept of this app
-great for home workout and limited equipments
-reasonable premium price
Cons:
-very problematic playback (if you use another app (text message, musics, etc) while a workout video is playing and come back to this app it pushes and buffers for ever and almost impossible to restart and forced me to close the workout and reopen and that makes it count as I finished one workout and I’m doing it for the second time. Same thing happens if I want to skip forwards or backwards!!
-limited workout plans/programs
-no way to rate or see ratings of individual workouts or programs (so kinda have to try each or guess to see if you like them)
-no option to customize plans/programs (either you do the whole program or not which let me to do some parts of a program and skip some or just end it before program is finished which is very disappointing)
-poor nutrition plan (essentially it’s blogging about nutrition and there’s no actual “plan” certainly no individualized nutrition plan or even anything close to it)
-Random notifications from app that’s promoting Nike products (on paid version of app!)
Hope they work on perfecting this app!!Show lessGizmo B.
The perfect workout app
This app has one of the cleanest interfaces I’ve ever seen. Everything runs super smooth and loads fast. Having to download workouts may seem like a con, but it’s actually great for saving data. Everything of free and there are tonnes of workouts for what ever your needs are. My only problem with out is that the Apple Watch app is kind of useless, but it still is good got tracking data and linking it with the app. Also another plus of that there is 0 Nike advertising built in.Show lessdarcylawrey
