  • Worth the money

    I really enjoy this simple to use app. The workouts are straight forward and effective and instructions are clear and easy to follow! Happy I found it and I would recommend it to a friend!
  • Clear instructions

    This app caters to different learning styles. If you like to glance at written instructions, this will work for you. If you need to see the exercise performed, you can watch a video clip to see what you’re going for. I also like that it tells you what you’re targeting. This keeps me from just going through the motions.

  • Great at-home workout

    I use this when I can’t get to the gym or want to shake up my current flow. I’d give it a 5 if I had the ability to customize each exercise to my abilities/needs. Such as rep number, exercise type, etc. Even so, I’ll admit that it’s nice to not need to think about what to do and just follow what’s laid out for me.

  • Great program

    This is a great program been on off with it but has seen tremendous results and each time I have gained the necessary results I been looking. I am wanting to master my own body weight and with me taking time off this app always come in handy with getting me back in shape
  • Bite Sizes Workouts that Don’t Overwhelm

    I love these bite-sized workouts that pack their punch but don’t overwhelm! I am not your typical exerciser. I don’t want some major program to commit to... if it’s too much, I won’t stick with it. But with Gorilla workouts, you take one day at a time, focus on just a few areas (2-3) each day and do one exercise per area (granted several times). You feel the burn and the next day soreness. Yet the next day, when you might be wavering on whether or not to start, you look at the day’s workout and say “yes, that’s totally manageable” then get to work!

  • Decent but limited

    The Gorilla PT programs are decent for tracking and keeping a log of your basic calisthenics workouts. They are clearly NOT written by qualified trainers, though. They show a tendency towards the usual linear progression model that displays unrealistic expectations of progress in very short time frames. They also have a tendency to conclude a workout with 2-3 Max effort sets with short rest intervals. If you just did a max effort set of say, Push-ups, going to failure, and then rest 30 seconds and try to repeat...you’re going to get maybe a couple reps, if any. This would be obvious to anyone who’s actually trained - “max effort” should leave you with nothing left to follow with a second “max effort” set.

  • Fun and motivating

    The instructions are clear and the programs keep you on your toes.
  • Missing key pieces

    I’ve had this app for years and really like it. There are 2 things missing that would make it significantly better, and I’ve never understood why they aren’t included:

    1. A warm up/down & stretches
    2. Some of the challenges have an exercise every 5 days which offers no instruction other than ‘rest 30/45 seconds between sets.’ It them gives you 6 or 7 exercises to do. Do you rest between each exercise, or do you count each rotation as one set and exercise to exhaustion? The first is way too easy, but the instructions don’t quote for the second.

  • No equipment needed

    Well instructed workouts easily executed in small spaces if required.
  • Been a user since the beginning and still love it

    I’ve had this app since day 1 when it was SO basic yet still awesome. Love it and highly recommend especially for those that are busy but need quick workouts that will make you sweat and breath heavy.
