### 5/5 — Love this app and love Caroline

*2026-08-19, version 1.26.0*

I’ve been working out with Caroline for 4 years. The app keeps getting better and better and Caroline never ceases to amaze me with her creativity in her workouts. I’m so very thankful to have found her.

### 4/5 — Best personal trainer

*2026-07-28, version 1.26.0*

I start with  Caroline Girvan’s YT with my wife in April 2025 by September the resulting body composition was clearly showing signs of defining our muscles. We enjoyed her non verbal approach to coaching, seeing her perform the exercises with us and seeing the effects on her face of joy and some discomfort when the weights get heavy or the reps go long, was just inspiring. So much so we both bought this CGX app. We liked the idea of working out with the CGX group at the same time CG releases new content. We enjoy the news and information on health and fitness. 

I like that I can switch up the music in app to my own , and the CGX app consistently connects when home on WiFi. Downloading for when we vacation like we just did for our cruise helps us stay on track and disciplined. I’m happy with the current update July 2026. It corrected some start up bugs I had on my phone as well as a freeze when connecting to HDMI on our TV. 1.3 years in and I can hardly wait for our next CGX new release this fall. 

Let’s Go!

### 2/5 — Terrible app support

*2026-07-19, version 1.25.0*

Caroline’s workouts are spectacularly good but the app support is absolutely terrible. It’s the worst kind - they pretend to care about the problems you raise, then waste hours of your time asking useless questions, then don’t fix anything and then proceed to ask you the same questions over and over again, sending you into mindless loops.
Beware that your Apple playlists in the app won’t load properly and that your workout will close suddenly from one tap with no ability to return to the right spot.

### 4/5 — Love CGx

*2026-07-08, version 1.24.0*

I love this app! Caroline is amazing. My main issue it, and I hope you can address this, is when I get logged out it can take me 10 tries to log in again even if I know it's the right information. And finally it just works. But it makes it tricky.

### 5/5 — Love CG

*2026-06-26, version 1.23.1*

She’s the best

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-06-26, version 1.23.1*

Love the app! It works perfectly well for me no matter which device I use. I love the knowledge section and how you can easily add a workout or a full program to your calendar.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

### 5/5 — Exceptional App & Service

*2026-06-18, version 1.22.0*

Hands down this is the best app for weight lifters and results. Caroline methodically works along with you, so you can watch her form, go at her pace and even watch her struggle. No doubt she’s pushing herself and you can too! Say goodbye to expensive gym memberships and waiting for machines or weights to become available. Make a small investment in weights and a bench and use the time you spend driving to and from the gym to head to your basement and whip out a great workout. Long time fan here because the workouts have transformed my body. Been a supporter since the app launched and I continue to recommend it to friends. Affordable (thank you!) with great and prompt customer service if I need help. Skip the other exercise apps and give Caroline a chance. You will come to see that through grit and determination you can get the physique you’re after, be educated through articles, eat better with terrific recipes and more. It’s all within reach with this high-quality app at your fingertips and in the privacy of your home. Invest in your health and remember: there are no shortcuts. Dig deep. Stay focused. Celebrate milestones. You can do this!

### 1/5 — Wiped out streaks and workouts

*2026-06-08, version 1.21.0*

App spontaneously wipes out some of my workouts and reduced my 11 week streak to 2???? How does that even make sense!?! Went from 100+ workouts to 98???

I actually work to keep those going and for it to just be wiped out is irritating not to mention how tedious it is to try to edit my workout history…which now that I think about it may be the reason my streaks are gone. 

If I can’t unmark a workout so I can go through the program again without damaging my workout streaks and history, that’s infuriating.

Update: not sure what their response is all about. I did PE, Iron programs and even some series soooooo what’s your point? You trying to make me sound like a liar and that I’m not capable of doing the actual programs????? Because I have. I tried to remove my iron workout history so I could do it again. Seems like you can’t even navigate your own app/user data properly or you’re malicious. SMH

### 5/5 — Best Trainer Ever!

*2026-05-14, version 1.20.0*

Caroline is such an incredible inspiration for working out!

### 3/5 — Request: Adjustable Volume for Timer/Counter Sound

*2026-04-13*

I’d like to request a feature improvement regarding the timer/counter sound in the app.

Currently, the alerts sound is extremely loud and cannot be adjusted independently from other audio. For users like me who train with headphones and listen to music at a higher volume for motivation, this creates a very uncomfortable and potentially unsafe experience. The sudden, piercing sound is harsh on the ears and could contribute to hearing issues like tinnitus over time.

It would make a significant difference if users could control the timer sound volume separately, lower it, or turn it off entirely.

I’ve been a loyal member for over 5 years and genuinely enjoy the app, which is why I’m taking the time to share this. However, this issue has become frustrating enough that I’m now considering cancelling my membership. It may seem like a small detail, but it has a real impact on the overall experience.

I strongly hope this can be addressed in a future update.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

(I’m always using my own music via SoundCloud and mute the integrated music, however to hear the alert sound is good but too loud) thanks

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Are you using the CGX music integration with Spotify or Apple Music? That will allow you to manage all of the sound volume levels together. Reach out if we can help further: 💌 support@cgxapp.com.
