The gym and at-home workout programs are so informative and easy to follow even for people new to weights like me. BITS integrates with widely used apps like MyFitnessPal and Apple Health (plus others) so you can easily track your nutrition and steps in one place as well. The app can be used stand-alone or if you want to join their 8 week program Blitz Your Bits you get assigned your own coach who checks in with you weekly for support and guidance on training and nutrition (Ben’s a legend). These sell out so quick though so you’ll need the app to stand a chance of getting in BYB. When you’re doing BYB the app is free. Unlike most apps it really feels like this is run by humans! Who care! Follow on instagram @henleyfitness ### 5/5 — Animals! And progress charts *2025-08-18, version 3.47.2* I love the animal weight conversion you get at the completion of a workout. Lovely clean looking app, the workouts come with clear instructions, you can tick off as you go along and progress is easy to track. Steps and cals are pulled in from other apps so it’s all in one place. You can enter your weight and see progress if that’s what you’re also trying to change. You maybe tempted to do BYB as well which I can wholeheartedly recommend ### 5/5 — Real results ! *2025-08-07, version 3.47.2* I’ve struggled with PEM and fatigue, always tried to keep fit but health conditions made it tougher to do this . This App is brilliant, I am so much stronger, I have the energy to do stuff, I can go at my own pace, at home, I’ve lost weight, I can do a proper press up, my arms and legs have definition, I can hit a golf ball further, I can climb 1000s of steps on holiday to see the view. It’s fun, easy to use and Rachel (your coach) is hilarious, kind and supportive. Oh yeah and in the app you get to see how many donkeys, camels, chameleons you have lifted in each session, which fills my heart with joy 😂 ### 5/5 — Love love love!!! *2025-08-07, version 3.47.2* I absolutely love this app. There is soooo much information from lifting libraries to nutrition to inbuilt programmes so you no longer have to wander round a gym wondering what to do next, it’s all there for you. ### 5/5 — Incredible app *2025-08-07, version 3.47.2* Have been using this since launch and it's just got better and better. The customer support are always on hand and the programs are so well structured. Nice to not have to think about programming anymore!! Plus the animals lifted metric is so cute!!! Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Makes me feel confident, noticed, and proud of my progress at the gym *2025-07-22* I have been an on again off again gym goer for YEARS. As a teacher life gets busy and you let things slide like your personal fitness. I love this app because not only are the results great (I think I put on muscle faster than I ever have), but I like that every single exercise has a video (which are informative and funny) to help you feel confident you aren’t mucking things up or looking dumb. The app tracks your progress, has an adjustable schedule for the workout set you picked, has healthy recipes to try, and just feels like a body positive place for women (which is so amazing). I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be stronger and feel empowered to do things at the gym without stress. ### 5/5 — Best Fitness App *2025-06-19, version 3.42* So, I don’t usually rate apps- I know, my bad. However, Rachel and team have done an incredible job with this app. They’ve literally thought of everything you might need before, during and after a workout. For the contents, the price is cheap as chips. I’m on my first week of the Strong Bits programme and absolutely loving it. Thanks so much for creating such a brilliant app 💜 ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2025-06-12, version 3.41.1* Just brilliant, Videos well explained and fun Great for gym & home Great for beginners to advance Also includes warm up stuff which soooo many don’t! Just fab fab!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-05-19, version 3.40.1* It’s so good. Videos of how to do things. I’m using it with a PT and it tracks progress. Sets timers. Basically does everything I want it to. It’s perfect. Looking forward to food being in it too xx ### 5/5 — Love 10/10 *2025-05-06* I have struggled to workout since highschool. This app is incredible. The programs are ready to go, it’s easy to modify, there’s great tips and tricks. Your history and weight is saved so you can compare. And at the end of it all you get a great a review. Over all 10/10 ### 5/5 — Loving this app *2025-05-06, version 3.37* The app is simple but has everything I need. I love the workouts so much! Great for recording and celebrating my progress. ### 5/5 — Gives me confidence *2025-05-05, version 3.37* The app makes me feel like I know what I am doing in the gym and I can do it ### 5/5 — Great fitness app *2025-05-05, version 3.37* Easy to use, good for tracking and great price ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-05-05, version 3.37* Bloody love this app. The choice of programs is brilliant and there is a level suitable for everyone. Loads of resources, videos etc.. Fantastic app for beginners or experienced gym goers. ### 5/5 — Fab App! *2025-05-05, version 3.37* I bloody love this app! I’ve used the gym on and off for 5 years but recently I’ve lost my confidence. Didn’t know what I was doing anymore so I found myself plodding on the treadmill. Then I came across Rachel on IG and found out about this app. I love that there are a range of programmes from complete beginners to more advanced. I’m following the Wiggle your bits 4 day programme. I am once again enjoying going to the gym and find that I am constantly challenging myself. The app is easy to use to record workouts/weights etc. but the best bit is the animals. It tells you which animals you have lifted at the end of each session. I feel like I’m collecting a zoo haha! If you’re not sure give it a go. For the price of a couple of coffees a month you’ve got nothing to lose! ### 5/5 — Such a great fitness app! *2025-05-05, version 3.37* Love this app. Easy to use and tailor to my needs. Video links to help technique. Like having a really supportive training buddy at home/gym making it seem less scary. I’m loving the visible results already and the fab cartoon “equivalent animals lifted” recap page at the end of each session is a highlight! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2025-05-05, version 3.37* Love this app. I’d lost my way with all things health and fitness mainly due to dire mental health. I started back at the gym but it was scattergun. This gives me the structure, education and encouragement that I really need to succeed. Keeps me motivated. Can’t wait to work my way through the programmes ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Signup/Resignup process broken? *2025-04-29, version 3.37* I got this app initially on the first release of it and never really used it so I cancelled my subscription. I recently wanted to pick it back up again and signed back up through stripe on the website. This hasn’t been processed by something on the backend and I am yet to be able to use the app at all despite paying £7.99 on Saturday. Support is in another time zone and is offered via email only with responses being quite slow, email on Saturday was answered early Tuesday morning. I did get a reply on insta quite quickly but it was only to point me in the direction of said support, which is understandable but ultimately useless. ### 2/5 — Entspricht nicht meinen Erwartungen *2025-02-08, version 3.34* Ich folge Henley total gerne bei Instagram und konnte schon viel hilfreiches mitnehmen. Das habe ich mir auch von der App erhofft - nur noch einmal umfangreicher und gut strukturiert, um mein Training auf ein neues Level zu heben. Leider trifft die App nicht das was ich mir gewünscht habe. Man kann sich auch leider vorher nicht umschauen in der App. Ich mag feste Pläne nicht besonders, weil ich mein Training gerne selber zusammenstellen möchte, angepasst an die Geräte die mir zur Verfügung stehen. Das ist leider nicht möglich. Die Informationen zu den Übungen sind nicht besonders ausführlich. Mir würden Infos zu den Muskelgruppen, die man mit der Übung trainiert sehr helfen und allgemein lehrreiche Inhalte. Die Bibliothek an Übungen ist leider nicht in der App integriert, sonder linkt zu YouTube. Ich hätte das Produkt gerne unterstützt, aber es ist noch nicht reif genug. ### 3/5 — Love the workouts *2026-04-16, version 3.63.4* But the app itself is very patchy and the customer service has never replied to an enquiry ### 3/5 — Coaching great, app bad *2025-08-11, version 3.47.2* Firstly, the coaching and actual fitness part of this app is 10/10. It has definitely helped me build confidence in the gym and work towards my goals. But the app is super clunky and not intuitive at all. For each set you have to manually enter your weight and reps, using two different methods of number selection. It doesn’t carry these forward to your next set. It is very easy to accidentally log the sets in the wrong order. You can’t change exercises until you start a workout so planning ahead if you have injuries is impossible, you have to spend time in the gym fiddling with the app. If you replace an exercise it adds a random variable for which I can find no explanation. While I appreciate the how to guide that is provided but as a neurodivergent girly I would much prefer an intuitive, minimal input app than a long video to watch. At the moment I look at the workout plans and then track them in a different app but this is not cost effective. To be clear, Rachel is a legend and her and her team’s work is amazing but the app could be a lot better. ### 3/5 — navigation not very intuitive, but content is awesome *2025-01-05, version 3.30* current development of app is hard to navigate (for instance ‘drop down’ for selecting home rather than gym version of workout almost impossible to find) but the content, as always with henley fitness, makes it worth persevering with - I’m sure the app will go from strength to strength in time (pun intended) ### 4/5 — Couple of features missing *2025-07-06, version 3.42* I love the app and the programmes. I wish I could skip ahead to look at the accessory section while on a rest in the main Bits part of a session - it would speed me up! I also wish the app didn’t assume a week starts on a Monday 🤣 I’d like to see the next 7 days in the overview. I didn’t start the programme on a Monday, so sessions 1-3 will span more than one week! ### 5/5 — Best system! *2026-08-26* This app helped me create a fitness routine and be brave about my health. I started working out on my own, building confidence with the clear system and great form videos. Then I joined for 2 rounds of their group program, which continues to use this app. And now post program im back to using the app by myself to track my workouts and meals and keep myself consistent all in one place. I especially like the recipes! Easy and yummy without decision fatigue ### 5/5 — So good *2026-06-21* This app is so good, so easy, and so effective. I’ve made more progress than I would have ever thought both in confidence and strength. There is magic in this app that gets you to try new things. ### 5/5 — Got me back in the gym! *2026-05-24, version 3.68.2* I love this app so much, initial dramas with the signup process and left a bad review that I feel bad about so leaving a positive one now! This app has helped me get myself back into the gym regularly and after 10 weeks of the first plan I am ready to move onto another. It’s easy to use with lots of helpful guide videos and still seeing small improvements and updates to the app to make it even better (pre fill weights for sets recently was a great addition!) there are great instructional videos for each exercise and this has helped me so much getting myself back into fitness. After 10 weeks I’m way stronger and hitting PBs all the time, 7lbs lighter, more toned and way more confident, I am liking what I see in the mirror more and have this app (plus one friend who helped me get back in the gym initially) to thank for it, I look forward to lifting many more capybaras ❤️ ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-04-02, version 3.63.4* This is a fantastic app. It took me from being a complete beginner who had never done anything in the gym other than cardio to being able to confidently strength train. It takes you through everything step by step with humour and a human touch. Can’t recommend enough. It’s great. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — We love Rachel and the app! *2026-02-11, version 3.60.1* Was doing Rachel’s programme before she had an app and already thought she was great at fitness programming - now she’s got her own fancy app and it’s all in one easy place. Would recommend to beginners and also more experienced gym goers who want to change it up, have a new programme to follow where you will be motivated to push and go further and build more muscle without having to do any of the thinking! ### 5/5 — Brilliant Bits *2026-01-28, version 3.58* Fantastic app. Easy to use and intuitive. Absolutely love the animals 🐪🦊🐳 lifted. I’m weirdly disappointed when I get a trophy instead of an animal. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-12-03, version 3.54* This app is incredible! I love how it takes you through each work out and that you can switch out exercises. I actually look forward to getting up and going to the gym now! The animals at the end really make me smile,🥹 ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-09-23, version 3.47.3* I have always really struggled with motivation to do workouts or any fitness at all. But having it all in one app has genuinely made it so easy. I was hesitant at first but through the free trial I thought I’d give it ago. And now I am doing workouts every week! You are able to customise the workouts, and move what day you do it on. There are videos explaining how to do everything, so incredibly beginner friendly. It is a great tool to fit your lifestyle. I am using this app for at home workouts and I couldn’t recommend it enough ### 5/5 — Best fitness app I’ve ever used *2025-08-19, version 3.47.2* If you’re considering this app I would say absolutely go for it. I love this app so much. I’ve been using it since it launched having bounced through a bunch of others and wouldn’t use anything else. The layout is super easy to use and the workouts are amazingly well structured and easy to follow with really good alternatives if you’re missing the machine/equipment for something. And your workouts are summarised by what animal you’ve lifted by weight which is the weirdest and best motivation for me. The recipe section is great, quick easy meals that don’t use any weird expensive ingredients like some fitness apps! I’ve also used the coaching within the app which is outstanding. If you’re considering trying it you should. It’s great for beginners and seasoned gym folk. Can’t recommend enough. ### 5/5 — Best Coaching App *2025-08-19* This app will change your life without completely rearranging it. If you can snag one of the coveted spots in the BYB program, it helps you find ways to make small changes for lasting results. I’ve never felt as confident and strong as I have after this program. And the coaches are funny and so supportive, and the knowledge in the app itself is hands down incredible. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
