I’ve been using this program/app for a little over a year and it’s been great but the last few workouts have been very frustrating because stats and tutorial videos won’t load. Please resolve! ### 5/5 — My review *2023-12-18, version 7.106.1* I love this app. It has the best program and approach. It collects great data too. ### 5/5 — Excellent training program! *2023-10-11, version 7.90.2* Bruno Strong really delivered with this one. If you out there looking for an app to help you achieve some goals, look no further! Forget about the flashy, results for yesterday apps. This is an investment that will pay you back with gains, knowledge and a very fun and well put together training program. I am a trainer myself and I know how hard it is guide someone not being present. These packages with training phases plus nutritional guidance will make super exciting to train and evolve on your fitness level. The app works super smoothly and it’s very user friendly even if you are new to the lifting world. ### 5/5 — REAL Trainer = Real Strength/Mobility Program *2023-09-03, version 7.90.0* Ben’s program and app are amazing. They respond quickly if needed. App is easy to use. I love that I can play music and his example videos at the same time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a real full body strength and mobility program. I’ll see real results if I’m consistent. If it’s good enough for Kate Upton and his celebrity clients then it’s good enough for me!! 😂 ### 5/5 — Bruno Strong is the Best! *2023-08-26, version 7.90.0* The workouts are great! The explanations and demonstrations of each exercise are easy to follow. I have already seen changes in my strength and overall well-being in just the first 6 weeks! Highly recommend Ben and his app-looking forward to the Sequel! ### 5/5 — Excellent workout!! *2023-08-26, version 7.90.0* Excellent, challenging workouts, and Bruno explains the techniques well. I’d love if the videos were more zoomed in, as it’s hard to see on an iphone. Or if the app would let you zoom in. I could also benefit from a side view in addition to the diagonal views in the video. The workouts take the the intimidation out of strength training! ### 5/5 — So simple & smooth *2023-08-19, version 7.78.0* Honestly besides being the best fitness program itself, this app is so smooth and great. I have redone many of the workouts and its so simple to jump to the individual days, track progress, watching the vids … everything works. Once you are familiar w the execution of the exercises and don't need the vids anymore, you will LOVE the app on your watch. Couple of great minds who got together here. Can’t wait for the second workout program! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-07-16, version 7.78.0* This is a fantastic program easy to use easy to follow, easy to build on. Starting my 3rd cycle. My body is stronger and firmer, I feel more comfortable in my skin. If you are on the fence just do it you won’t regret it! I love it! ### 5/5 — This program works! *2023-07-14, version 7.78.0* This program and app have helped me finally stay consistent in training without burning out or getting bored and now I’m addicted to the results. Down 15+ lbs and 8% body fat in 3 months and seeing all over body tone and feeling so good and strong. The only program that’s worked with my Hashimotos. I do everything at home with no bench or TRX and the modifications have worked well. I’ve been repeating the program working on increasing weight or reps, so looking forward to when he comes out with additional circuits or exercises to do next! ### 5/5 — This app is great *2023-02-19, version 7.62.1* I love this app - the workouts are great, and the nutrition info is really helpful. And I thought Ben did a good job of thoroughly demonstrating how to do each exercise with good form. ### 5/5 — Love this app!!! *2023-02-10, version 7.62.1* I couldn’t say enough great things with this app…I love how you can upload photos to see your progress, and the nutrition portion is awesome. I love that Ben makes sure your doing these workouts correctly by really showing you the correct procedure so you don’t hurt your body. I love that he gives you options if you don’t have the same equipment that you can use. I love the hand portions system in the nutrition section. This is a great app not only for trainers to incorporate routines into their own training systems but gives everybody a starting point to ultimately change your lifestyle and it’s not a quick fix - quick fixes don’t last long but this app allows you to change your lifestyle for life long improvements to carry with you throughout your life. Absolutely love this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2026-01-16, version 8.0.1* App is horrible and there is no way to contact them to fix issues. I spent over $300 to purchase a bundle and can’t access any of the trainings. They get prescheduled and disappear if you don’t do them by the prescheduled time. I sent multiple messages through their website and they don’t respond. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Worst Trainer Ever *2023-10-08, version 7.90.2* He’s a liar and a cheater and has absolutely no idea how to run a business. ### 1/5 — Poorly done *2023-02-07, version 7.62.1* I just bought this program in hopes of starting something new and getting myself back into shape. This app is horrible. You have to click on each exercise in the warmup . You are constantly having to stop and start. He also doesn’t tell you what you need before you start. If I need a foam roller or a certain weight or that they are using a TRX machine and kettle balls ect… I am doing this in my apartment. I don’t have all this equipment and they should let you know this beforehand. I am bummed that I spent so much money on this program. This is terrible. ### 2/5 — Good workouts, UI needs a lot of work. *2025-12-21, version 8.0.1* I like the workouts but the app design needs a lot of work. I won’t be buying any more programs unless these issues are fixed. you can’t change the start date of your program. So if you want to repeat or have more than one set of content, it’s a giant pain. Additionally, in a 6 week program as example, the workouts tab will only show either phase 1 or phase2 instead of the entire program you purchased. You should be able to see all the content you purchased at any time. The workouts tab is also the only place that shows estimated workout time. Finally, when you are viewing workouts in calendar you cannot tell which program they are from if you have purchased multiple programs. A simple label here with the program name would fix this. ### 2/5 — Pros and cons *2025-05-06, version 7.181.0* Pros: lots of exercises with video demonstrations, good structure in routines. Cons: shoulder-centric, some complex movements, not for folks with shoulder or back injuries. ### 2/5 — Confused *2023-07-10, version 7.78.0* I just started yesterday and none of the exercises are loading! The app is extremely slow ### 3/5 — Workouts-AMAZING. App-needs work *2025-03-21, version 7.168.0* I love all the workouts the program has!!! However I have this problem every single time i go to add a workout. The list does not generate completely leaving me with only the 1st three workouts available. Unable to add any of the rest of the 6 week program OR warmups and it’s so frustrating. It’s literally made me leave the gym before because after 45 mins of trying to get a workout added, i’ve just wasted time and energy. would absolutely be 5/5 if the app worked properly ### 3/5 — App needs work *2024-08-25, version 7.131.2* The training and exercises themselves are amazing. I love the videos and how tos. But you can’t comprehensively see phase 1 and 2 together. Apparently this is on purpose so you don’t “skip ahead” but I’m a busy professional and sometimes life is crazy and I can’t quite keep it up like I’d like and so I want to go back a week or two. But once you’ve gone into phase 2 you can’t see phase 1. I wanted this for a wholistic workout plan I can keep up but I can’t keep it up when I can’t see everything. Maybe he could offer a PDF of the exercises too? And plus maybe once I’m deep into phase 2, I’m not feeling great one day and I want to go back and do an easier phase 1 workout. I should be able to do that. Honestly the app is just pretty frustrating and that’s my main beef. The actual content is great, the platform and reasoning behind not letting someone who paid for the entire program see and use the entire program at once is pretty ridiculous. ### 4/5 — Best workout app *2024-12-04, version 7.131.2* Ben has thought of pretty much everything with this app and it’s made me way more consistent with exercise because the app itself is so enjoyable to use. It’s easy to follow the workouts, customize them, substitute exercises, check the instruction video, track your weights, play your own music simultaneously, etc. the only thing is I wish you could save your own custom plans more easily and choose your own start date for his plans without emailing him, but besides that, the app works perfectly and is the best of any online workout plan I’ve tried. ### 4/5 — Great workout program - app has bugs *2024-08-22, version 7.131.2* The workout program is PHENOMENAL! The app has bugs. Every time I open it it opens as if you are adding a blank activity and you have to cancel and discard. Once you’ve complete the 6 weeks and you go back to do it again, it no longer tracks heart rate and calories or properly activates Apple Watch. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic program *2026-06-01, version 8.6.1* This program is FABULOUS! Easy to follow instruction, great functional moves, clear cues that help your form and prevent injury and it moves at a great pace. The videos are super helpful too. Highly recommend. I’ve been strength training for the last few years and can’t get to the gym as much now due to work so downloaded this program. Massive Chelsea handler fan too and he trains her so that means he’s a good guy!! ### 5/5 — Bruno Strong *2026-03-04, version 8.6.1* Great program, I have always worked out but this app allows you to stay accountable and consistent with exercises that are effective. And it’s up to you what level of difficulty you want to make it. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Best online coaching *2025-10-08, version 7.188.0* The workouts are really effective especially for core strength which I need the most. I love how Ben incorporates the nutrition, sleep and hydration coaching into the programming topic really thorough! So glad I bought the three programs together!!!! ### 5/5 — Marin Celebs *2025-08-24, version 7.188.0* 5 star plus! we have pretty good workout classes in Marin and we all care about looking and feeling awesome. Since I have been doing this program for 7 weeks everyone is stopping me to see what’s different No, i did not get a boob job, no i am not ion ozempic, no I am not flying in a celeb trainer everyday from La…but i am doing bruno string!!! ### 5/5 — Best workout app *2025-07-30, version 7.188.0* Love Ben Bruno! This app makes weight training simple! So easy to follow along, check form and keep track of progress. I’m transforming my body composition, building lean muscle mass and loving my body! Nearly a year in and worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Changed my workout routine forever *2025-03-11, version 7.168.0* I feel so much stronger and more toned. Obsessed with this app ### 5/5 — Best workouts *2025-02-03, version 7.131.2* Such a great app with amazing workouts. Easy to follow and I love the creativity. ### 5/5 — Great Workout with detailed instructions *2024-12-07, version 7.131.2* My favorite part of these workout is that Ben Bruno provides very detailed instructions regarding form including explaining why and benefits. ### 5/5 — Amazing training app *2024-05-03, version 7.116.0* I’ve trained with some of the best S&C coaches and this app comes really close to replicating the coaching you’d get and gives you a really solid workout using minimal equipment. App is really easy to use and is customizable. Biggest thing it has done is help me stay consistent. ### 5/5 — Amazing Program *2024-02-19, version 7.106.1* The workouts are fun, the instruction is perfect, and the tracking has allowed me to push myself in a whole new way! Highly recommend! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
