Love fading fast
I’ve loved Aaptiv for almost two years excellent coaches excellent choice challenges and support I’ve lost 30kgs and you guys have been by my side all the way.
I’m really sad with the music changes and it makes me not want to turn to you each morning. Instead of real songs by real artists I can sing along to we now have lift or Seattle to store music which doesn’t match the coaches discussion points at all it feels disconnected and cheap. Honestly I’d pay more for the real music if that was an option not sure why you have gone down this route. I know for some I can choose the Aaptiv curated music which still matches but for more and more it is bland unmatched musak and I’m hating it please tell me this isn’t permanent?Show lessDawniejarv
No Good Music
I used to love this app, I’ve been using it for years (since 2016/2017) and it has helped me stay on track and really kill my fitness goals. But they recently made changes to the music and it doesn’t let you listen to the original playlist curated by the trainers for your workout - it used to give you the option to pick the original music or another genre which was great, had something for everyone. Now the original playlist option is gone and every workout I’ve tried (with every possible genre options) doesn’t match the tempo of the workout or most of the workout cues. It’s turned something I loved into the most frustrating task and on top of that it only allows you to skips 6 songs per hour (even though you’re already paying a subscription fee for the app??).
Honestly such a major disappointment music is a major motivator for a lot of people - going to have to find a new workout app with all the gyms closed or try and figure it out on my own.Show lessAngelica_147
iOS issues
Beware! This app will not show up in your subscriptions on your iOS device. They direct bill you (not Apple). When you try to go to their customer support they give you the support line for Apple. Because Apple doesn’t charge you they can not manage it.Tarrawilliamson
Trainers are excellent, but that’s testament to them, not the app
UX for the app is atrocious, it often fails to sync with my Apple Watch and the search functionality is probably 10 years behind where apps should be with their search capabilities. I can’t see workouts that I had planned for previous days if they’re a part of my calendar and often there will be an issue with the sound starting meaning I need to restart the workout a few times to get things going.
The only thing keeping me from cancelling my subscription is that Apple Fitness+ doesn’t have audio workouts. Once they have them, I’m out.Show lessXaadgsc
**terrible service** May never go back to the gym
**wow! - I have been using this app but circumstances have changed. I was automatically recharged without an e mail that my membership automatically renews. When I asked for a refund and to cancel they refused to refund me but will happily cancel my app? What gives!? This is a pandemic and times are tough! This is terrible customer service and I hope others are aware of this scam to auto renew without notice! **
Since the pandemic started, and I was 3 months postpartum I’ve been using Aaptiv. I can get in a workout 5 days a week and love the programs mixed with different workouts to whatever I’m feeling. The workouts seem endless! Love that it’s audio so I can take my mini speaker and work out anywhere— a requirement with a toddler on the move! The trainers are great and it feels like they are right there with you! They know when to put the push on when you feel like quitting.Show lessKcwilkie
Why are the mileages not quite right ?
Love the flexibility of doing a good work-out or in my case a treadmill run. Not having to plan what you’re going to do and rather just following the trainer. The described intensities are spot on - and the variety of tempo/endurance/interval runs as well as the lengths of runs are great!
But maybe I’m OCD and nitpicking a bit but if I’m going faster than the prescribed speed (or peak speed)mentioned on the summary and consistently following the run at a faster pace - why is the mileage almost always wrong ? My mileage is always less - despite going faster. Makes no sense to me ??? Disappointing if you’re trying to accumulate miles as you can’t trust the headline summary mileage. Well on my tread anyway!Show lessmakes no sensw
Audio led workouts leave you wondering...
This app was recommended to me so I tried it and paid for it. The trial period is only 7 days so I’m surprised they get new users at all. I would not have tried it post trial except my workout buddy uses it. The exercises are audio only with short videos to teach you the moves. HOWEVER the videos don’t match the workouts. I did side lunges to match the video instructions but then heard a cue to start the next move: side lunges! I discovered the next round that it was side squats but as a beginner didn’t know exactly how that should work. Some videos are missing and some don’t match. Example: video instructions were for standard sit-up but the audio prompted lay flat, sit up, fold to touch toes.
THE MUSIC does not match the reps. This bothers me immensely and the beat is the reason to work out to music. I expect a paid app to have the music synced to the workout and transitions between songs to only happen between moves.
I liked these last two workouts by “Kenta“ but wouldn’t actually recommend this app. I’m not motivated to continue especially with the music issue and guessing how to do each exercise.Show lessPony zamboni
Very motivating fitness app
I have tried a few paid fitness apps and Aaptiv is by far the best. Even if I am not in the mood of doing a workout, I just start one, and the trainers push me and I end up having a great sweat session each time. I find the new instructional videos for strength training are quite helpful. I live in the metric world, so I have to convert all the treadmill speeds to km/hr.
Without doubt the best app I have!Show lessKSian
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind words and for being a member of Team Aaptiv!Great
Love the concept although the Imperial measurements don’t work outside of North America. It also seems a bit dumb that you subscribe to the app and you can’t immediately choose your workout you have to do starter classes that you can’t bypass. It’s only a small thing but considering I have paid for full access would expect full access immediately. Apart from those two things, I think it’s awesome and a great addition to the marketShow lessConor in sydney!
Aaptiv Changed Everything!
I can’t say enough good things about Aaptiv. I used to just search for workouts online or simply make it up as I went at the gym. Once I got Aaptiv, my workouts were so much more focused and effective. I love the diversity of types of workouts (treadmill, outdoor running, elliptical, strength, stretching, and so much more!!) so I can have plenty of options for my mood or my training plan.
My FAVORITE thing about Aaptiv is the style of having a coach/trainer that fully planned and recorded a workout guide for you. Having someone in my ear giving my advice and motivation feels awesome. Some workout apps I’ve used in the past just have an exercise and a timer and maybe halfway through would say “keep going!” But having a real human coaching you through the whole thing is so helpful. It’s like the experience of a group fitness class or personal trainer but on your own time and having it to yourself.
Aaptiv has made me a much better runner and helped me increase my fitness goals over time. I’ve been using it for years and love it just as much now as I did at the start.
Thank you Aaptiv!!Show lessStacyRuns
