  • Love it, have some suggestions

    I've been using aaptiv every day for the last 7 weeks (!!!) so obviously I love it. The core and treadmill runs are especially great, I went from running a slow mile as a warm up to now doing different sprint interval workouts each day. Really keeps my workouts interesting, and I love having someone tell me what exercises to do and for how long when I'm doing core.

    As someone who lifts everyday I think there could be some improvements - I focus on different muscle groups each day and a lot of the workouts are just full upper-body. Would love to see more just chest or just triceps etc. Also would be great to be able to edit my daily coach so that I could get suggestions for just back and shoulder workouts on Mondays etc. Finally I really like the scheduling classes feature, but I'd like an option to have it only show in the app, not on my apple calendar.

    All in all awesome app- is pushing me to be in the best shape of my life so THANK YOU!!

  • Don’t waste your money!!!

    Even if it’s free in the app store, you still have to pay for the workouts with a monthly subscription.
    If you truly think people are gonna lose weight, especially students who are broke to use this app you are wrong. Students don’t have that kind of money to spend on an app that will tell them to run or do some stretches.
    I am saying this because at least make some things free, but nah, you have to get the monthly or yearly subscription.
    Don’t get this app, there are so many out there that are better than this scam. Oh ya plus false advertisement that’s low even for an app that is the “app of the day.” The 1 year + money back guarantee is fake, many reviews have been saying the same thing. Do not waste your money, there are many other apps that are better and are free!!! you shouldn’t pay that much money for your own health.

  • Good but workout programs/series changed in the middle of it...

    BEWARE: Before purchasing this app make sure you read the user agreement and know what you are signing up for. Having seen so many ads for a free trial period I was under the impression this was automatic. IT IS NOT. If you want a free trial period make sure you explicitly pick a free trial period membership.

    As for the app itself, the workouts and concepts are really good, engaging, and motivating. That being said I recently started one of the progression series but part of the way through the series reset and completely changed what workouts were a part of it. After reading some other reviews this appears to have happened to several other people when AAPTIV went through a major change, however this just happened to me and I’ve only had the app for about a week (after these changed supposedly occurred). I’m now concerned this will be a reoccurring theme and cancel out one of the main reasons I decided to try it out. With the progressions, I also wish there was an option to add the whole thing to your calendar/coach rather than individual workouts. It would make it much easier to follow and stay on top of. Overall though, the concept is great and the workouts individually are great.

  • Best Training app I have come across!

    This is literally the best app one can design. There are personal trainers that would talk to you while training, you can pick your personal trainer and it really helps you push to your extreme and work out the best you can! I love this so much! It also recommends to you what you should do next like streches and all! It’s superb. It’s like a personal trainer in your pocket wherever you go and whatever you decide to do, you can also choose the intensity and style of music you like! Epic!!!

  • they deleted vast majority of content: DONT JOIN

    Update: it looks like aaptiv is working to replace some content. But the best trainers are gone, there is little variety now and i have so much negative emotion towards this company that I get angry using the app. This was my go to on a daily basis. I told everyone about it. Now i am using some other apps and realizing they are better, more about actually improving my workout quality rather than being “all levels” and with terrible music. Even more upsetting is NO updates from the company and when i tried to sign up for FB page, NOTHING, no response. I have used this app for three years! Nice way to treat a loyal customer.

    My earlier post (before finding ClassPass GO, with awesome rowing and cycling workouts): I went to gym today and just rowed on my own, missing the rowing workouts like mad. I looked for a kelly ride and saw you deleted ALL but 1 of her bike rides. What is going on??? We paid for a year in advance to have you just delete content. The best trainers, the best workouts. Why??? There is so much competition that will get my money when subscription comes back around. We members were your best advertisers and you screwed us

  • Beware

    Recently removed the boxing (and rowing) workout features which was the best thing about it. Beware when you sign up to do a free trial as it’ll charge you for a year long plan without warning. That’s the only reason I have subscribed and why I (begrudgingly) use. You can’t filter by equipment vs no equipment. It doesn’t store what time you exercised and what workout you did so if you liked a workout you have to remember it yourself. There are similar free fitness apps out there.

  • Poor Customer Communication

    I loved this app. You can sort exercises by trainer, type, length, and difficulty level. Super user friendly. I would look at a whole week in advance and plan my workouts. Recently, they pulled ALL my favorite classes and my two favorite trainers. They did not give notice. I finally found out by going out to their FB page. I made sure every workout I left a review about the class and what I thought about the trainer. If they were truly meeting the needs of their clientele, then they would have seen that some of us primarily only used what they pulled. The sad thing is they have no other similar classes or the type of trainers I learned to love. Also, their customer service is lacking. They say you can email for help. I emailed due to technical issues. That was yesterday and I am still waiting to hear back and it was “during hours”. When you are working out, most people have only so much time. If you can’t use the app due to technical issues and have to wait days to resolve, that pretty much squelches that workout plan. I would hope Aaptiv would be more responsive to their users technical issues as well as notify them regarding changes to the program. I signed up for the old Aaptiv. I feel I should be able to get my money back as this is not the program I signed up for.

  • Removed a lot of workouts without notice

    Cancelled my subscription but was suddenly billed again. Do not download this app.
  • The #1 audio fitness app has lost its value

    Perfect app when you have no time to plan, pick a workout and go.....until they remove a ton of good content and replace it with all entry level workouts, remove challenging race training programs, remove rowing and boxing programs, and seem to be moving away from where their initial value was established.

    I recently changed my subscription from monthly to annual due to my excitement and high satisfaction with Aaptiv. Shortly after doing this, the app started to crash when I was searching for workouts and after starting a running program in addition to establishing my own schedule with boxing, rowing, indoor cycle, and strength / core- most of the great workouts disappeared. I was told an email was sent to me, which I have not been able to locate. When I followed the link in response to my inquiry, I received a very vague response commenting on how they were striving for high quality and had to remove content in order to meet their customer feedback. All of the feedback I sent to until this occurred had been great.

    When reading most recent reviews, it appears what occurred to me occurred to several users. As a loyal user who is strongly considering ending my membership and switching over to a competitor, I would consider alternatives and read additional reviews before proceeding.

  • Used to be amazing, sadly no longer value for money

    I have been using this app since it was called sky fit. The unique mix of fantastic music with engaging trainers and a wide range of exercises included a range of running programs from 5K walk to run to marathon training. There were some awesome rowing workouts and a boxing program too.

    A few weeks ago There was a significant change in the train is available and last week I massive number of classes were culled. I was midway through a strength training program as I was annoyed. But it wasn’t a major inconvenience. However some members had when using it for marathon training which severely affected them.

    The main complaint for me is there is now next to no variety., The music has changed from being good to be in generic electro pop which is awful to listen to. I’ve cancelled my membership and I’m looking for a replacement.
