That being said, I cannot access chat with my coach ever, without having to delete the app and reinstall it EVERY single time. I have powered my phone off and on, it is up-to-date, as is the app. This just will not fix! Can’t even read the newsfeed ever as it just shuts down the whole app every time! I have an iPhone 13 PM. I don’t see a place to even contact an admin of the app for help. It’s disappointing. ### 2/5 — buggy *2026-03-04, version 3.18.2* this app is so glitchy and buggy it's not worth it ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work properly *2026-01-25, version 3.18.0* The App itself is great but there are bugs in it. You can’t record your weights sessions which means you have to log workouts manually to try and track progress. Also, some of the sessions just close down when you are still doing it. Very frustrating for what, otherwise, is actually a good setup. ### 2/5 — Terrible functionality *2025-12-30* Deeply wanted to like this app. My coach is great thus far but the app is ridiculously glitchy. It’ll stop recording my session if I go out of the app for too long. When I go back into the app after a short time, the video of the exercise I’m doing no longer plays. If I’ve been out of it long enough to automatically stop my session, I resume the workout and it starts my timer over. It’s extremely frustrating and makes it difficult for tracking how long I’ve actually been working out. It’s horrendous when multitasking. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2025-12-24, version 3.17.1* The app is very glitchy. It goes on and offline mid workout. If I’m on cardio, the app closes itself and restarts the cardio timer. If I’m trying to load my rep count and weights, the app will take it out on its own. I try to reload it and it doesn’t stay. Very inconvenient and irritating! Fix the glitches please and thank you! ### 2/5 — So many glitches *2025-09-17, version 3.14.9* It’s been years since I’ve experienced an app this glitchy. Really interferes with the coaching. Can’t view messages and audios files can’t play. Multiple error messages and I’ve only had the app for one day. ### 4/5 — So far, so good *2025-08-07* Been with my trainer a few days now and I do love the app! Veryyy dynamic. I just wish it would track my workouts as “Functional Strength Training” or “Traditional Strength Training” instead of “Other” when working out. I tried looking for a feedback option so I just decided to leave a review instead. ### 3/5 — Great Potential *2025-07-22, version 3.13.1* I love I’m able to chat with my PT, have meal plans and exercises. However, there should be a full screen option that would be helpful to share my phone screen to my tv. ### 1/5 — No response *2025-07-06, version 3.12.2* Purchased an automatic general program and haven’t heard from anyone for a while now. My app is completely empty and it doesn’t let you do anything on it! Very frustrating, emailed multiple times with no response. ### 1/5 — 🤦🏼‍♀️ *2025-05-16, version 3.11.1* Hi, will give 1 star. I have already unsubscribe, yet it is still deducting on my bank account. Please notice thanks. ### 3/5 — it’s okay *2025-04-14* im ngl it’s kind of a hard/frustrating app to use. i love the update it’s a lot cleaner and prettier i’ve jus noticed it’s always buggy, it’s really slow, i’ll get locked on the home screen and won’t b able to scroll or click on anything a LOT, like genuinely it happens so much. also confused ab how i can’t see my check ins? idk it’s okay. i also wish the videos provided were personal videos and not jus rando generic videos cause they b hard to follow sometimes and sometimes it don’t even seem like they’re doing the right exercise fr ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-03-05, version 3.4.0* I was under the impression I would have a personalized experience or 1:1 accountability coaching with lots of menu items. The meals have been the same for weeks. The workouts sometimes the videos are cut off and you can’t put in the lbs used per set. I use the Dani Munoz app 14.99 a month and it comes with workouts and meal recipes with way more variety. It also has options for both home and gym workout to meets your needs. The workout replacement options are better as well. I’m extremely disappointed in the waste of money for 3 months. The coach I had was nice and responsive but not what I thought I was signing up for at all. It’s basically all on your own with a weekly check up & if you miss there is no out reach etc. ### 1/5 — deleted all data with new update *2025-02-13, version 3.2.0* Not impressed, it deleted all of the previous data with the new update and new look. A bonus, though the font is larger. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t function properly *2026-05-14* I have been on a couple days with a trainer that advertised a 6 week boot camp the app is not user friendly there is no direct connection that I see to the trainer I get alerts that the trainer is communicating but no where do I see actually threads I did my check in and cannot find my pic and measurements I will continue my workouts but I think when this 6 weeks is over and this same experience has continued I’ll be cancelling this service I was so motivated but this is too frustrating and should not be the case one star because I have to do that to upload this comment ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-19, version 3.19.4* Don’t waste ur time or money. This is indeed a scam and they will try to take ur money ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied *2026-03-13, version 3.18.2* I paid $49(make sure to read any cancellations are effective after 1 month) which is whatever. all I get is a picture of the trainer whose link I clicked and some jacked up videos of random people I thought would be the trainer. When I inbox the trainer through the app it’s automated. Why are people advertising the link(youtube trainer) to a busted app? ### 1/5 — No option to cancel subscription! *2026-02-16, version 3.18.2* They only let you pause your subscription. I tried messaging my coach Julie about cancelling and she isn’t responding. The billing date is coming up and i can’t cancel and I’m afraid to pause because what if that causes me to lose access to messages and then i really can’t cancel? Messed up. ### 1/5 — Absolutely Terrible *2026-01-25* The app has so many glitches, errors, and issues. It’s completely unusable. The nutrition calculator is trash - gives you way too many calories and will give you a recipe for a sandwich with 3.5 pieces of bread. The feed section where you interact with your trainer is completely useless. It didn’t load the trainers posts for over a week and backloaded them. There’s no way to privately msg your trainer, and you cannot reply to direct comments in a thread. Additionally, the trainer never replied. I have her the benefit of the doubt since so much content never showed up. Also the app is impossible to figure out how to cancel. I hate this app. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-12-22, version 3.17.1* Won’t allow me to track my weights ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-12-12, version 3.16.0* Won’t allow me to track my weights ### 1/5 — Audio/Video *2025-12-11, version 3.16.0* Terrible, I cannot get audio to work on this app. I’ve updated it, deleted it even tried to use airplay and nothing works ### 1/5 — Can’t track workouts??? *2025-12-02, version 3.15.4* The idea of the app is amazing, but for the price I’m paying to have online coaching with a personal trainer you would think the app would allow you to track workouts without glitching and deleting all the history. Very frustrating. Have to use ANOTHER app to track workouts and see progress. ### 1/5 — terrible *2025-10-07, version 3.14.12* never telling anyone to download this app. iv been scammed. please reach out to me so i can explain. $252 has been taken out my account and i can’t have this happen. i only agreed to doing a 3 month subscription which i paid for all at once ages ago and now iv been charged again. I don’t know how you guys still have access to my card but i want my money back and to cancel my subscription. iv been locked out of my account and my coach isn’t replying to me for 3 days what a fraud. i juts want to cancel my subscription and get my 252$ back that i got charged for,for no reason ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exceptional! *2026-04-20, version 3.20.7* I love the workouts on this app how you can track every workout down to the minutes. I love how you can also alternate certain workout if you have restrictions. I love how you can also record yourself and send it to your coach for feedback on your form. ### 5/5 — Tracking *2026-01-14, version 3.17.7* Love the app, just a down sound of not being able to track weights used in workouts ### 5/5 — App crashed *2025-11-23* My app was working for the first couple of days. Now it keeps telling me “oops something went wrong” and won’t let me into the app. I’ve tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it MULTIPLE times and at first it worked and it would reinstall w a new icon for the app. Then when I would try and go back in it it would go back to the “BR” icon and wouldn’t let me in. Now it won’t let me in at all. I’ve told my coach and she said she reached out to someone. My coach is great, but I have yet to hear back on anything from her end. I’m hoping this gets fixed soon to get my moneys worth. ### 5/5 — Cant cancel renewal *2025-07-11, version 3.12.2* I've been emailing them for the past week to unsubscribe as i dont want future renewals yet no one is replying. No response from the team!!! Very disappointing ### 5/5 — Feeling great *2025-06-10, version 3.11.9* I have to thank Coach Josh for the wonderful meal plan and workout plan set for me. So far I lost almost 5 lbs and its only been a week. 🙏😃 ### 5/5 — Fitness coach *2025-05-04, version 3.10.1* Hands down this is the best fitness App I’ve ever used. ### 5/5 — Emily *2025-04-01, version 3.7.0* They recently did an app revamp and oh my gosh it is amazing. I’ve done a lot of fitness apps before and this is definitely the best one by far ### 5/5 — Best App for you fitness goals *2025-01-24* This app is a game-changer! It combines everything you need to reach your fitness goals: personalized meal plans, adaptable workout routines, and detailed progress tracking. The meal plans are easy to follow, delicious, and tailored to your preferences, while the workouts are suitable for all levels and include a variety of options like strength training, cardio, etc. It’s like having a personal trainer and nutritionist in your pocket. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — This app is amazing! *2025-01-24, version 3.0.0* I've been using it for a couple months and the experience has been great so far. It’s very easy to manage it and the quality of the service is the best I've experienced! Highly recommended 💪 ### 5/5 — Jorge *2025-01-23, version 3.0.0* I’ve been using this app for whole year now, and I’m very happy with the results. Not only the plans are amazing, but the functions of the app itself makes it very easy to follow and get along with it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
