Cali Move Workouts User Reviews

Absolutely fantastic app!

The adaptive workout algorithm works great and each workout makes you anticipate what’s coming next. You never get bored of the workouts. It will make you feel you’ve embarked on the calisthenics journey 🔥

The app feels a bit sluggish to operate though for 2026, developers can definitely look into it if possible.

Great guys and programs

Been watching their content on YT for yrs and finally jumped in and paid for the program. Linking accounts can be a little sticky but once I figured it out the app seems to work well.

Sehr gut aber Raum für Verbesserung

Die Inhalte sind super. Die App an sich fühlt sich aber technisch noch nicht ganz rund an. Aber das wird sicher noch.

Response from developer

Danke dir für dein Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass dir die Inhalte so gut gefallen. Wir arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, die App weiter zu verbessern, neue Funktionen zu entwickeln und mit größeren Updates noch mehr aus ihr herauszuholen.

Mein Favorit 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Ich nutze die App mehrmals wöchentlich und sie erleichtert mir mein Training enorm, da sie sich aufgrund meines Feedbacks an mein Trainingslevel anpasst und mich so voranbringt. Außerdem wird immer sehr gut mit Beschreibungen und Videos erklärt auf was man bei der Ausführung achten soll und wie man die Intensität steigern bzw. erleichtern kann.

Weiter so! 👍🏻 Bin ein großer Fan.

Must improve user experience

The last update broke the app. It now requires me to log in again every other day. Reschedule doesnt work either: the plan is stuck on “yesterday” and in order to workout “today” I have to reschedule for “tomorrow”

Response from developer

Hey, this was a bug that should be fixed by now. If you still experience any problems, please contact our support team and we’ll solve the issue as quickly as possible (support@calimove.com).

Great app one suggestion.

I really love this app and the programs. My only suggestion for the devs is if you can make it so that on pausing an exercise, i can still see the exercise being performed and the exercise information. Most of the time when I pause its not for a rest but rather I need to take a moment to see the exercise more because i feel im doing it wrong. But when I pause I cantsee the exercise, and when unpaused the timer continues while i really just need some time to check out the exercise more

needs mobility fix

i’ve been using the complete calisthenics program for about a month and am getting a lot of value out of it, so I decided to purchase the mobility add-on. However, I can’t get the mobility program to give me more than two sessions a week, despite adjusting the days to say that I’d like four a week. is there a fix for this or is there something i’m not understanding?

Response from developer

Hi there, the programs follows a fixed schedule to make sure your body adapts properly and to avoid overtraining or unnecessary fatigue. However, you still have full flexibility: Go to the Plan tab in the navigation bar → tap “My Programs” → select your program → use the “Reschedule” function. This allows you to move your next session to any day you want—even every day—so you can train exactly when and how often you prefer. Best regards, Cali Move Support Team

Schade

Technisch ist die App in der Zeit stehen geblieben..

Response from developer

Hi there, the app is built to a very high standard and not like typical generic cookie-cutter solutions. A lot of thought went into creating a system that delivers structured, adaptive training rather than something generic. At the same time, we’re continuously working on updates and improvements to make the experience even better over time. If you can share what exactly feels outdated or not working well for you, we’d be happy to take that into account and improve it. Best regards, Cali Move Support Team

Review 4 - very dissatisfied

I use this app to fill in between lifts and training. I really enjoyed the legacy CaliMove program for its solid exercises and direction. I really struggle with this app.

I am very close to cancelling my subscriptions.

I need the app to allow me to skip around at will for both the exercises and the training clips. I am wasting so much time waiting for training clips to restart and also with restarting while exercise sessions when I have to take time to practice or learn.

I am having a real problems with the range and progression. I need the app to not make me wait between weeks to figure out the right part in the exercise progression. I also need the app to be clear on range of motion. When I’m giving my exercise scoring/feedback sometimes I can do it easily at the beginning of the range of motion but no reps at the other end of the range of motion. So was the exercise easy for me or hard or somewhere in between? How do I track the range progress writhin different sections of the progression?

The app is not clear when exercises stay and stop. It’s the same beep and there are no verbal announcements- it should be totally clear whether I am in an active set, resting, or otherwise.

I need this to be a quick filler. I’m coming at this two times a week with only 1 hour to hit mobility and calisthenics and make progress. I need it to be easy to assess at the start what I am going to be doing (quickly trying out new exercises and identifying exactly where in the range I will be). I need the app to give me autonomy over my progression and not wait for it to poorly catch up. I need this app to work for me when I need it, not when it thinks I need to get after it or how it thinks I need to get after it.

Key takeaways:
- timer for exercise and agility in navigating content (pause, reverse, fast forward and skip around for all features)
- autonomy and alignment on progression/range/intensity integrated properly with the programming
- feedback should not be ambiguous relative to range of motion and progression

Response from developer

Hi, I’ll address your main points directly: 1. Training days You can reschedule every workout to any day you want. Go to "Plan" in the navigation bar and click “Adapt my program” in the top right corner. From there, you can move sessions individually and adjust the structure to fit your own schedule. 2. No rewind A rewind/seek function for the exercise videos is already planned and will be released in the coming weeks. 3. Too difficult exercises If an exercise feels too hard, please give negative feedback after the set. The app uses that input to adjust upcoming sessions and reduce the difficulty level accordingly. 4. Interrupted workouts You don’t have to redo the entire workout. You can use the pause button if you get interrupted. At the end of the workout, there is also a summary screen where you can manually adjust every set and rep before finalizing. If something still doesn’t behave the way described, please let me know — we want to make sure the app works for you, not against you.

Review 3 - still very dissatisfied

Can’t stand that every time I struggle with an exercise, I have to exit out of my workout and go back to the demo and then restart the exercise all over again. The legacy product you could just rewind. Also I find the exercise demos really poor instructionally on this app. For example the figure four sit to squat supported demo doesn’t even show the entire progression. The legacy demo videos were much more helpful. Super annoying that you can’t forward or rewind in the exercise explainers. I’m using this app as a filler between my weight and athletic training, app not good for quick sessions even though programs are the right time length. Too hard to use, such a shame.

Workout won’t load

Update: Thank you for your response. I’m changing the rating. I was frustrated but I like the app overall and very much appreciate the workouts and how they adjust to your level.

Frustrating when the start button is spinning and you can’t start when you need to.

Response from developer

Hi, Sorry about the frustration, we understand how annoying it is when the start button keeps spinning and you can’t begin your workout when you’re ready to train. The good news is that a fix is already on the way. An upcoming app update includes improvements to how videos are encoded and delivered in the app. These adjustments improve playback compatibility and help ensure that exercise videos run smoothly, even on devices with lower performance. Once the update is released and installed, this issue should be resolved. Thanks for your patience while we improve the experience!

Review 2 - still very dissatisfied

The app won’t let me work out the days I want to. I already have a schedule and the cali work is supplemental - I need this to be in command. Furthermore, the instructions for some of the exercises are not helpful at all, the visuals are pleasant but it does not help when you are not understanding and there is no way to rewind. I really really liked CaliMove when it was web based and I still believe in the exercises but I am really disliking this experience. When you come across an exercise that’s too difficult the app just keeps you in the advanced exercise, the program used to talk about progressions in the exercise and give you more basic options if you were limited for the exercise in question. If you don’t finish an exercise (let’s say you get called away by work which is what happened to me), the app won’t save your progress and you have to do the whole thing over next time even if you just missed 1 set. I cannot express how much I regret spending my money on this thing.

Great App & Support

Great App. I'm using Mobility every day and got exactly the results I expected. In the beginning it is a bit too easy, but after a few weeks the algorithm picks up and gives you perfect workouts. Their customer support is also absolutely incredible, most helpful and thoughtful support I ever encountered anywhere.

Genau das was ich gesucht habe. Super Umsetzung 👌🏻

Lacks basic functionality

For the work out videos you can’t rewind. I got to a new exercise and needed to try it first. I hit pause late and needed to restart the timer for the set, the only options it gave me are to cancel or continue as is. Additionally, the app won’t let you change the intro info either. I don’t want them to know my personal details and now the app is trying to get me to do handstands and I can’t go back to adjust my fitness submission. 1 star, I want my money back, this is truly a horrible experience

Response from developer

Hey. First of all: a rewind/scrub function is coming with the next major app update. When it comes to new exercises, you don’t have to pause a workout to check the details. Before you start, you can open the workout overview, tap Exercises, and preview your entire workout in advance — including demo videos and detailed instructions. The app will only suggest handstands if they were unlocked by your answers in the initial questionnaire, or if easier progressions (e.g. pike handstand) were rated as too easy. If something feels too hard, you can give feedback after the set and the app will automatically adjust.

Optimal

Nach fast 2 Jahren Cali Moves Workouts ist diese App wirklich eine gelungene Weiterentwicklung die den Ablauf beim Training um ein vielfaches vereinfacht. Keine separaten Timer mehr. Keine Zettelwirtschaft. App an und los! 🙌🏽

Workout passt sich dem Athleten an

Jede Übung wird nach Abschluss vom Sportler nach Schwierigkeitsgrad bewertet und für die nächste Session berücksichtigt. Super ausgewogene Übungen mit guten Anleitvideos. Die App finde ich besser als Freeletics, da es mehr um Kraftaufbau als um Cardio geht.

Excellent but …

Please add the option to view the exercice details when we make a pause. Right now the time counter continues which is not convenient.
Will put 5 stars when fixed

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback — we really appreciate it. The reason this isn’t available right now is that rest times are set intentionally, and if you pause the workout to watch the exercise details, those rest times would no longer be accurate when you continue. That timing is an important part of how the workouts are structured. That said, we understand your point and why this could be useful. We’ll discuss this internally and take your suggestion into account as we continue improving the app. Thanks again for sharing your idea.

A slap in the face

A slap in the face of the members who paid for the programs before. I will move to Saturno Movement line I Siris have to begin with.

Response from developer

To clarify: the programs you previously purchased are still fully accessible as one-time purchases with lifetime access—nothing has been removed or taken away. The Cali Move App is a completely separate product, built from scratch for mobile use, with features such as adaptive training, progress tracking, and in-app workouts. The older web-based programs were not designed to support these functions, which is why they are not compatible with the app. To acknowledge the support of existing customers, we also offered a significant loyalty discount on the app. A 1-star rating, however, does not reflect the actual quality or performance of the app if it is based solely on the inability to use older programs within it. We kindly ask that the app be rated based on its functionality and overall quality, rather than on compatibility with products that are unrelated to it. If you have any further questions, we’re happy to help.
