### 2/5 — General

*2026-07-07, version 3.12.35*

I don’t feel I am getting much training or technique for any calisthenics and mostly some
Body weight exercises I could have got from a free workout app or AI prompt. 
Disappointed at the general app feel and not very engaging or interactive.

### 1/5 — App no longer in service

*2026-01-28, version 3.11.28*

I paid for this. Login does not work. Password reset does not work. Reser links launches passion.io help page that has nothing to do with Calxthenics and no way to actually use the app/support infra. Do not download or pay.

### 2/5 — Great content, terrible app

*2026-01-26, version 3.11.28*

I switched over from a different calisthenics app I was using. I really like your holistic approach and I think your content is great. I’ve been loving the program so far.

However, this app sucks, please don’t let it ruin what you’re trying to do. Try to switch over to something that works better.

Here are some of the issues I’ve been having: somehow I ended up paying twice for the app and yet I can’t see any of my workouts on the app unless I login through my Web browser

When I try to contact customer support via the button on the app, it opens a random transportation app on my phone that has nothing to do with this app

When I try to look at my payment and subscription a button pops up that says manage subscription. When I clicked the button, it just goes back to the front page

Sometimes clicking the back button just closes the app instead of going back

The videos often don’t work and I have to restart the app to get them to work

I don’t know how to contact you. I tried contacting you via email. I tried contacting you via the app. If I don’t get a response in the next week, I’m gonna leave. Still I really like what you’re doing. I just have no idea how to actually contact you. Thanks, Adam. I’d still like to keep watching your content if you can make it more accessible.

### 5/5 — Hard but worth it

*2026-01-22, version 3.11.28*

You will definitely see results

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-01-22, version 3.11.28*

I’ve been using this app for 2 or 3 years it’s has never been updated. It feels so old and outdated. Sometimes you go on and it logs you out and then you can’t log back in for ages. Sometimes you go on then you can’t even access the programs that you have paid for I think it is absolute garbage and it’s a shame because I like him deleting the app and unfollowing him you have lost a loyal fan !

### 2/5 — Review

*2026-01-21, version 3.11.28*

App has to many bugs

### 5/5 — Great results and easy program

*2025-12-03, version 3.11.28*

This program has been easy to follow and I’ve seen great results. The exercises are easy to follow along and enjoy the tips on dieting!

### 1/5 — Awful - not a serious fitness app

*2025-10-31, version 3.11.28*

3 workout programs just randomly disappeared from the app. Was half way through one of them and now have no way to continue. Terrible terrible app.

### 5/5 — Great app and info

*2025-06-25, version 3.11.28*

Fabulous resource… helped me immensely

### 5/5 — This App Deserves So Much Better Reviews

*2025-05-25, version 3.11.28*

I don’t know why so many people have rated this below 5 stars, but this app is awesome.

I was only 11 days in and people start asking unsolicited, “What have you been doing for exercise? You’re looking healthy”

Seriously, it’s awesome. It’s not unrealistic or going to consume your life.
The workouts are hard, but attainable for any fitness level. You can repeat these for life and have a full body regiment with nothing but a pull up bar and dip bars.
