A very good and tiring work out depending which difficulty level you choose! ### 5/5 — Simply superb!! *2019-01-12, version 5.0.2019010701* I have been doing HIIT training on and off for some years now but never found anything or anywhere that could motivate me or be tailored to the HIIT routine that works for me. Until I used this app. Very customisable (which exercises, in which order, for what duration...) with a great challenge mode to motivate me to do several sessions per week. Now doing more HIIT every week and seeing really impressive results!! ### 5/5 — Great update producing an Amazing workout !!! *2019-01-08, version 5.0.2019010701* The hardest but the most rewarding workout you will find. My wife and I are both currently doing the new and improved 8 week challenge which is a great incentive. Another massive positive is that a typical training session takes only 15-minutes and you can exercise without any equipment or setting foot into a gym. With full time jobs and children this is perfect ! ### 5/5 — Adrian James Wins again with this App *2019-01-08, version 5.0.2019010701* After very successful results using the 6pack abs App I purchased his HIIT App and within days of using it I realised I’m on to another winner, from a complete beginner to the advanced in fitness you will find help and motivation to give you the workout you require in your fitness journey. Without doubt 5 ***** ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2018-12-28, version 5.0.2018122201* I think this app is the best fitness app out there. The design is slick and the exercises really get you out of breath. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Good app for workouts *2018-04-20* Good application. And I use all three products. I was happy until IOS 11 was updated. Now only one of the three works. Release the update to the other two products. And the weird thing is, I bought them and downloaded them. And now again shows that you need to buy, although I did not change the account. Well put, well thought-out and functional. But waiting for updates on IOS 11. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert *2018-01-20* Viermal gemacht, schon fing die Hose an zu rutschen. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-09-11, version 1.3.2016091601* Best app on the App Store. ### 5/5 — Dan (Wales) *2017-09-06, version 1.3.2016091601* Excellent, this really shows up how unfit you maybe, really enjoying it, 10/10 and 100% worth the £2.99, would pay more ### 5/5 — You better HIIT this *2017-08-11, version 1.3.2016091601* Adrian James is amazing. I've been doing HIIT off and on for a while now and I will always come back to it. It's built not only my endurance and speed but my confidence as well. If you haven't tried this download the free beginner mode and I bet you'll love it. Awesome app. You should try his others too. ### 5/5 — Best app ever and fat burning *2017-07-29* It feels me on fire ### 5/5 — Been using for about a week. *2017-07-04* So far so good. Will report back when results ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2017-06-21* It is great ，I am exhausted！ ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-05-30* World class app that hits all your muscles making you bust your a** but still is helpful for inactive people. My favorite HIIT app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work just freezes *2024-07-13, version 5.0.2019010701* Paid for it and doesn’t work tried multiple times to start it 🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Sad discovery *2024-05-25* I have used and loved this app for several years. Recently the app will not load it all. I was unable to exercise for six weeks after surgery . Now that I’m able to exercise again, the app will not load at all. So long to my best 2024 body!!. I have tried repeatedly with both the high interval training and the six pack abs app. I am using iOS 17.5.1 . It is so frustrating when you have paid for an app and it is not updated in a timely fashion. I hope the developers help fix the issue soon. ### 1/5 — Impossible to download full version *2014-01-13* I paid for the full version but I can't dowload it (iphone 4s ios7) ### 3/5 — Nice app. No iCloud sharing *2017-05-03* The serious limitation of this APP is it's inability to share data on iCloud. I started using on my IPAD BUT would be useful to have my data linked to my iPhone so no matter which device I have my plan is up to date. Also should link to the Apple Health App ### 4/5 — Support for iPad screen 10.5 inch *2020-01-21, version 5.0.2019010701* I absolutely love this app. Me and my partner really enjoy using this, everything about this app is perfect. The only downfall is that the app doesn’t support the iPad fully. It does work but it doesn’t take the full advantage of the screen and I have the new iPad 2019. I’d appreciate if there could be an update for screen optimisation, if that can be done I’d be happy to give it a full 5 star rating. ### 4/5 — Very good, love the weekly tracking *2019-05-09, version 5.0.2019010701* Really like the explanations of each exercise. Would love it more if there were more exercises to choose from, and if you could save more than one custom workout (and give each one a name too) ### 4/5 — Good, quick HIIT session *2018-08-04, version 1.3.2016091601* I’ve been using the Adrian James triple (Bootcamp, HIIT, Abs) for a few weeks now. Full disclosure, I’m fit and capable anyway, I was able to jump straight in at Advanced for all three apps. However, I have a 10 month old daughter and a job that takes up a lot of my time. Hence, exercise time has become more and more limited. For the price of £2.99 per app, I genuinely believe these are some of the best value-for-money apps out there! Their User Interface (UI) is simplistic and well thought through; the countdown timer is useful, especially with a notification of the last 10 seconds; the running video demos (active whilst exercising) are a real help; the overall points awarded system is a good motivator for some; the quality of the exercises (i.e. the ones chosen) is good; the random choice of exercises is a really good method - you’ve just done burpees? Oh well, tough luck, because squats are coming up next! - and forces you out of your typical comfort zone; you genuinely can do it anywhere, with no extra equipment needed. However, I’ve dropped AJ one star for a few reasons; 1) as many have stated, the various options on the app dashboard just take you to the AJ Nutrition website, nothing special; 2) the points awarded system is a good motivator for beginners, for others it’s simply a gimmick and surplus to requirements, amounting to not much; 3) the 8-week challenge is, perhaps, a useful touch for beginners (and, in fairness, this is where the points system comes into play), but I would’ve liked to have seen all points from all of the apps utilised in the one challenge, I don’t really see the point in having to run three separate challenges at the same time; 4) the ‘Elite’ section is pointless, it mixes all three difficulty settings in one workout. The reality is that, if you’ve just done an ‘Advanced’ exercise, you may then do a ‘Beginner’ exercise, which drops the tempo hugely and, frankly, you end up having a breather. If you’re at ‘Advanced’ level, you’re far better off simply running an ‘Advanced’ session, with longer exercise times or running the session twice. However, despite those few negatives, all three apps are still 4 Star quality! ### 4/5 — Excellent! *2017-03-13* I really like how adaptable the app is to needs and ability. I am my first week into the total training schedule lab and feel this it is a good stretch combined with my bicycle commute. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2017-03-07* If you are a circuit trainer looking for something when you get to the gym. Workouts could be longer and harder. ### 4/5 — Why is this not available for iPad? *2016-01-31, version 1.2.2015012701* Superb app! Looks easy but it's anything but. My major gripe is that is not available for the iPad! I use this in the garden to workout all the time, and sometimes with my wife so it would really benefit having a much bigger screen to follow it on. Granted, after a while you will get to know every exercise as there aren't that many but I would still like to have an iPad version ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Killer HIT *2024-07-19, version 5.0.2019010701* As a 50 year old man I thought I was reasonably fit , started this at the intermediate level , my god does it show up how unfit I have been , only completed week one but will definitely keep going to see how much the fitness level improves ### 5/5 — Gonna feel the burn that’s for sure *2022-01-13, version 5.0.2019010701* Fantastic app, just like all Adrian’s app. The work out are beastly, I absolutely love them. Recommend them to everyone. Even my Mrs is giving them a go. She hated exercising lol. My go to apps each and every time above all others on the market. ### 5/5 — Simon C *2021-01-16, version 5.0.2019010701* I have just completed the first week of the eight week challenge and I already feel so much fitter. It’s hard to work out in this current climate. And this is a no equipment, great cardio workout! I highly recommend it and I look forward to writing another review in 7 weeks ..... ### 5/5 — Very convenient *2020-09-04, version 5.0.2019010701* I have been using the app for a couple of months now i must say i am enjoying it very much. The exercises are varied and doable and the progress/points tracker is very motivating. I’m giving myself a 6months goal and hope i achieve it. ### 5/5 — The BEST *2020-03-27, version 5.0.2019010701* I have all 3 Adrian James apps and I do at least 2 of them a day. The best thing to have during this quarantine! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-22, version 5.0.2019010701* Gives you want you are looking for I have been training for five years and when I found out about this app I loved it ### 5/5 — One of the Best *2019-08-06* Tres bon comme appli HIIT, le niveau est assez diversifié jusqu’à plutôt élevé par rapport au autres app gratuites.Ce que j’apprécie c’est que les exercices sont surtout avec les jambes, donc parfais si on veux laisser reposer le haut du corps... ### 5/5 — SUPERB FITNESS APP *2019-02-23, version 5.0.2019010701* I really do recommend downloading this superb fitness app from Adrian James as it is a perfect workout for the whole family. Very comprehensive and excellent value. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! *2019-02-18, version 5.0.2019010701* Brilliant app. Even my two sons love doing it too! ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy *2019-02-15, version 5.0.2019010701* Love this app. Add it on to the end of a weight session or do it as a quick workout when I’m away. Good way to get some high intense cardio in without having to think. Definitely recommend giving it a go. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
