### 5/5 — Amazing workouts anywhere!

*2023-09-01*

I’ve been working out at home or in hotels for years. This app has totally upped my game. I know realize how much I wasn’t pushing myself. That being said, you don’t have to be an elite athlete to do these workouts. You can customize them to your level and with what equipment you have at your disposal.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2023-08-21, version 5.9.16*

Great tools and friendly, streamlined design. Looking forward to incorporating into my life

### 5/5 — Don’t hesitate

*2023-04-27, version 5.9.16*

This app will give you meals, and a way to workout that you’ll actually enjoy…not endure, ENJOY! I am loving it so far and it’s only been a short time. Andrea teaches everything herself, which is a bonus.  You will also find yourself able to eliminate separate cardio on a treadmill or elliptical because these workouts count as strength training and cardio all in one!

### 5/5 — One of the best apps in my phone and in my life

*2022-06-28, version 5.9.16*

First, great job on the ease of use and configuration for the app. Super strait forward and intuitive. Great user experience. Thank you for that.
Second, as for the product, wow, it is so easy in this crazy life style to forget about our health , track it and maintain a good balanced level of it, this product helped me set great goals for food and activities, track them easily and in a fun way, it also helped me raise the bar for these goals and aim for a really healthy lifestyle, thank you so much.
Definitely worth trying it out.

### 5/5 — Easy accountability

*2022-06-23, version 5.9.16*

This app is wonderful! Easy to use and full of SO much to help keep you accountable. Plans are easy to fit your life. You can focus on food, exercise, stress relief it’s amazing for curating the plan that works best for you, your life and the way you want to make permanent life changes. This app is great for creating permanent change. 

From great recipes and easy exercise routines or long more strenuous work outs there is literally nothing I would change about this app. It helps keep you on track and accountable.

What I love most about this app is that is is absolutely phenomenal for fitting any lifestyle. Short workouts for busy lives. Quick simple recipes for those with little time. By far the best app for changing to a more healthier lifestyle!

### 5/5 — Great for Health and Fitness

*2022-06-19, version 5.9.16*

I am so happy I got to use this app. It is full of workouts and delicious recipes! Apart from that it guides and helps you with a personal plan that targets what you want to achieve. It’s like a health best friend that everyone needs!

### 5/5 — This app is great.

*2022-06-15*

I really liked this app. It was easy to use and very detailed. It showed me areas I was neglecting and can improve on. The workouts are fun and interesting.

### 5/5 — Really keeps you on track!

*2022-06-13, version 5.9.16*

I really like this app, for me it’s harder to get into a routine but I feel like this app really started to push me into one. I’m not used to tracking what I eat/drink and this really helped, I do exercise but tracking it I could see how much I’m really doing. Plus there’s good food recipes and workouts plus custom workouts so it fits what you want to work on. Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2022-05-27, version 5.9.16*

Ok So I would like to start by saying this app is so helpful, and not complicated. The minute you download it Andrea Marcellus herself pops up on your screen and literally explains everything to you, step by step and what every button on the app will do. So don’t worry about being lost or overwhelmed. I work two jobs , and I really like to eat healthy but sometimes when your in a rush, I found myself eating junk and fast food, just to get something in my body, what I thought was fuel to keep me going was just making me slower and just feeling yucky plus it was putting on pounds. This app helps you track your meals, track your activities and it puts everything in a nice little, let’s call it a portfolio of sorts. So you can track how your doing. And it’s really encouraging to get little emails from Andrea pushing you and giving you that extra little motivation boost! Give it a try.

### 5/5 — Keeps me on track

*2022-05-16, version 5.9.16*

I am someone who really struggles with my health goals. I think really big and keep it up for a week, a few days, and then I miss a day or two and give up. This app however has really kept me on track. I am able to see my goals in front of me and can realize if I am setting my aim to high. Once I have decided on a realistic goal the app gives me an easy way to log what I do which really reinforces me to keep doing it. It also has lets me set alarms to remind myself of my goals. I have really appreciated this when I am starting to slack off because this reminds me to keep up. I definitely feel like and/life is helping me develop healthy habits.

### 5/5 — Great For Those Needing Help

*2022-05-15, version 5.9.16*

I could always use a little extra help when it comes to my health and wellness. Thankfully, this app has it all! Reminds me when to hydrate, tracks my meals and keeps up on my fitness. After just 2 weeks of use, I am already feeling more energetic and I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish. 24/7 support to help you out when needed. Definitely a five star app all the way around!

### 5/5 — AND/Life Fitness and Nutrition Makeover

*2022-02-09, version 5.9.16*

The only guide you will need to transform to a healthy, fit lifestyle. The recipes are simple and are made from real food.  The app includes exercise programs that you can customize for your needs. Great tech support if needed - very helpful.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2021-01-13, version 5.8.1*

I love this app, it keeps me in line for my overall food intake and exercise!  I love the recipes and exercises that are available on the app.  So easy to use and love seeing my weekly reports on my progress.  Definitely one to download and keep!

### 5/5 — Easiest way to be fit and look great!

*2021-01-12, version 5.8.1*

I am very proud to use this app for a new me last year, i struggle to loss my weight since i give birth and this is the only app that helped me to get back my weight with an easy to follow steps and meal preparations that dont cost me much for healthy eating lifestyle. By Andrea's workout challenge and choosing my meals i feel great and back to conquer the world again with CONFIDENCE! Highly recommended...

### 5/5 — Four Simple Steps

*2021-01-06, version 5.8.0*

I love Andrea’s method! She makes it so easy to achieve my fitness and wellness goals by breaking things down into easy to follow guidelines. This is revolutionary!

### 1/5 — $$$$$$

*2018-05-29, version 2.9.12*

Should have marked itself as a paid app. Not asking for subscription after you’ve created an account and input personal information. Fraud!!!!

### 1/5 — Pay to play app

*2018-05-28, version 2.9.12*

Another pay to play app - cost is ridiculous.

### 2/5 — Needs more work

*2019-03-16, version 3.1.1*

I love following her videos on instagram so I tried the app a couple of months ago the first time. Once I made all the choices at the beginning for what level and type of exercises, I was disappointed to see that there was a set of videos that were animated and not up to the natural speed of how you would do them. The videos glitched every single time, sticking on a pose or leaving about a minute in between them or wouldn’t play at all, so I never really got a workout. I tried it once more with the same results. 

THIS time I went on the app this morning it asked me to UPDATE the app. When I did, it asked all over again for the initial questions of fitness goals AGAIN! But this time almost everything I would want to do to make a sweat happen were locked for the paid version. Only 1 or 2 non paid workouts are available.  I haven’t gotten to the point of trying the workout this time because its the exact “custom” video that it gave me 2 months ago, and my ability/fitness level is much higher. Also, the buttons and pages don't line up right on the screen so I can’t see all the info and began to fee frustrated again. 

About the daily food and recipes...I work full time and am a mom of 2 busy high schoolers. I scrolled through as many recipes as the free version would allow. My HUGE frustration about this app and others with the “foods/recipes” section, is that none of it is really doable unless you are prepping all day long and purchasing items not as easily saved for “leftovers” so that you can make up a batch and eat it for a few meals. Like the sweet potato toast. Avocado toast is doable, but the broccoli cakes (i think thats what they were) and some others all in the same day are NEVER going to happen in a normal life.  I suggest skipping the section of a suggested a days meals, and instead make a section of “suggested” quick proteins on the go, recovery snacks, work day mid day crash snacks (like a protein cocoa date ball that can be made and eaten at work all week) every day recipes that are healthy and easy to make and pack for linch or have in the fridge for the teens/family, like a certain homemade hummus and veggies, or a grain and protein rollup combo...and an over all protein/carb/fat balancing section so people who want to eat right can use the guide with the foods they can afford and have time to prep.  I know thats a lot and apps are EXPENSIVE! But because she is a mom and not as young as many of these app owners/front persons are, she has an opportunity to tap in to what us 40 somethings may need in our busy lives that is more attainable, and in the lives of more corporate busy people in general. 

I STILL WANT TO KEEP TRYING THIS APP, but as others said, its not cool to hide the price. And to have to pay when its not really working properly. Keep it beta longer. Work out the kinks.

### 2/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2018-10-06, version 2.10.7*

Not worth the money

### 3/5 — Free trial no CC needed is good for me!

*2018-02-25, version 2.2.4*

Just got it- will update when I've used it.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2024-05-28, version 7.3.0*

I love the ten min yoga work out and the ten min weights. But I just love this new life style I decided to join. I believe in it so much that I have talked 6 of my friends into joining. I have lost 8 pounds I 1 month. The first friend joined a week later she has lost 7 pounds and the next friend joined 2 weeks later and has lost 6 pounds. The other friends are just starting. 
I have enjoyed this program so much. I love it 💜💜

### 4/5 — Can’t create account

*2024-04-17, version 7.1.0*

I try to create an account and an error message pops up saying user name and email have to be different …. I only entered my first & last name … email and pass word … any one else have this issue?

### 4/5 — So helpful! Really works

*2021-01-26, version 5.8.1*

Started using this app to workout at home as getting to the gym isn’t happening right now. So impressed. As a TBI survivor the reminders have really helped me focus (and remember!) what I’m suppose to be doing. Get it! Worth it.

### 4/5 — Well designed and easy to follow

*2021-01-05, version 5.8.0*

I really thought that this was an app that was easy to follow and use. It helps you with tracking portion sizes and helps with healthy recipes to follow and use ( or adapt to your liking). I also like the fact that it has different exercises available depending on your own lifestyle. It’s great for those that want to develop a healthy lifestyle through a more sustainable concept.

### 5/5 — It works!!

*2025-06-21, version 7.3.0*

As a busy, working mom of 2, finding time and energy to work out and meal plan is challenging at best. The and/life app has changed that for me - it’s made living a fit lifestyle attainable. By making small tweaks to my daily routine, I’ve come to look forward to my work outs and have been able to make better choices eating-wise without feeling deprived. The classes are fun and Andrea is relatable. Love this app and overall approach to fitness!

### 5/5 — Re: I love this program

*2024-06-07, version 7.3.0*

I’ve tried other exercise routines, but I always got bored. This app allows me to try different programs and I can do them anywhere. At work, I find people walking by, smiling as they watch me exercising while on the phone. It’s so much fun.

The classes that Andrea provides are so completely to do at my job. I think every employer should encourage their employees to try these exercises while working. It actually builds energy focus. Thank you for creating these programs.
