### 4/5 — It would be great if……

*2026-06-26, version 2.2*

The app doesn’t track with your phone properly and from the comments it looks like it hasn’t been updated. I paid for the other workouts before learning this. It still works if you start workout on your watch and then start the app but it’s not as fun.
Update: Received a message about updating my review. But the app works about the same. With that being said it’s still my go to for HITT workout.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-03, version 2.2*

Great app that follows the original 7 Minute Workout principals.
Easy to use and be motivated to continue.

### 5/5 — Whole Body Workout in 7 Minutes!

*2026-04-23, version 2.2*

This is a great app and option to have while at work! I have a job that I am sitting about 80% of the time, so taking 3 - 7 minute breaks works perfectly and keeps me moving (and closing the rings on my watch!). Great job, highly recommend for people who ‘don’t have the time to go to the gym or dedicate a chucking time to exercise.

### 5/5 — Muy buena app

*2026-04-21, version 2.2*

Super útil

### 3/5 — Watch update plz

*2026-04-14, version 2.2*

I can’t initiate “bonus 2” or “bonus 3” from the watch app.

### 5/5 — 讚

*2026-03-12, version 2.2*

This very effective and quick exercise routine is well designed. Instructions are clear and the timer is set up to make following along easy. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Travels well!

*2026-03-12, version 2.2*

I’ve used this app all over the world—with it, I can have a good workout virtually anywhere with a wall and a chair.  I love it!

### 5/5 — Excelente app

*2026-03-11, version 2.2*

Me gusta mucho que registra tus actividades y ves tus avances y requieres poco tiempo

### 5/5 — Still great

*2026-02-25, version 2.2*

Still working great even tho it hasn’t been updated in years and i love that you don’t have to pay a monthly subscription like every other app nowadays. Super great workout app i lost 60 pounds with it when i first started using it in 2018

### 5/5 — Genial!

*2026-02-04, version 2.2*

Me ha ayudado mucho a estar en mejor forma

### 5/5 — A Great Fitness App!

*2026-01-30, version 2.2*

This a great optimal workout if you a limited time. Also workout can be done in limited space. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-30, version 2.2*

I’ll write another review in about 4 weeks but so far very, very impressed

### 5/5 — Efficient & effective

*2026-01-30, version 2.2*

This app is a great get-it-done option for the person who wants to move their body & stay healthy even on full days.

### 5/5 — Well spent $2.99; no subscription

*2026-01-22, version 2.2*

My mom has had this app for years and I recently downloaded it. It tracks your progress and the streaks help me to continue each day. This is the best 7 minute version in my opinion because it’s a 1 time fee.

### 5/5 — Very helpful when traveling

*2026-01-17, version 2.2*

This app helps me to keep an exercise routine even when I’m traveling, as well as if I’m short on time, can’t go outside, or can’t get to a gym. Exercise makes a huge difference to my mental health and with the help of 7 Minute Workout it’s easy for me to exercise almost anywhere and even in a short window.

### 5/5 — 10分は長いので丁度良い？

*2026-01-14, version 2.2*

1回10分は長くて続かなかった、でも5分では短くて効果があるのが実感出来ませんでした。
この７分がほんとに丁度良い感じで続けることが出来ています。

### 5/5 — Streamlined

*2026-01-11, version 2.2*

Nice app, does what it’s supposed to and isn’t cluttered up with other functions.

### 5/5 — Long term success

*2026-01-09, version 2.2*

This 7 minute workout challenge is easy to use and simple with enough variety to keep me engaged. I’ve used it for years, taking breaks and coming back to it as desired.  Sometimes, the biggest challenge is just getting started and this app helps with that as dedicating 7 minutes is so accessible.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-12-22, version 2.2*

Have been using it for years. Keeps track of your workout and offered options and positive encouragement. The best!

### 5/5 — Don’t Overthink It

*2026-08-19, version 2.2*

I needed a simple, reliable app, a means to exercise consistently and correctly. One dynamic for me is I have Parkinson’s.  The strategy has to fit what I am able to do, how much I can push, and where I need to be careful. The point is to keep it simple and be true to your goals. This app escapes being in the thick of thin things. It’s backed by science and there is no drama — so you can just get to it.

### 5/5 — Great help

*2026-08-08, version 2.2*

I’ve used this app on and off for years.  Whenever I have excuses to not workout, it helps me get back on track because it’s so easy to use, and I don’t have to think hard about what to do.  Just start.  It’s great.

### 5/5 — It works!

*2026-07-30, version 2.2*

I am 66 now - and first bought this App I think when it first came out about 2013? I did it daily for many years, the weight can off, and I was Able to maintain it for several years. I had an injury so am now restarting. It’s 7 min - I give to myself everyday.

### 5/5 — Great workout

*2026-07-09, version 2.2*

Short, but sweet

### 5/5 — Grande

*2026-07-09, version 2.2*

Una gran app para rutinas rápidas de ejercicio, sobre todo para aquellos que trabajamos sentados. Gracias.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-06-24, version 2.2*

I love this app so much and it doesn’t require a subscription which is clutch. Well worth the money!!!! Could not recommend enough. (Also, while it doesn’t come with workout music, you can play whatever you want in a the background app like Spotify and the music will play over the workout.)

### 5/5 — Easy and simple setup

*2026-06-13, version 2.2*

Very easy to operate and track the progress. You pay the fee once, and it’s your forever

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-13, version 2.2*

It’s good to start workouts with this app. The exercises are easy to follow, and the interface is simple and user-friendly. It helps me stay motivated and keep track of my fitness progress. I would recommend it to anyone looking to build a healthy workout routine.

### 5/5 — ¡Genial!

*2026-05-30, version 2.2*

Me encanta esta aplicación

### 5/5 — Easy to use; easy to stay healthy

*2026-05-21, version 2.2*

I like the convenience of the app; it doesn’t have onerous exercises; I use a reminder to get started each day. The progression is helpful and I can stay with some levels if I want to.
