### 2/5 — It’s okay for travel, but..

*2024-05-11, version 11.18.0*

The “but” is that they will charge you for annual subscription on the same day they send you a notice for renewal. No prior notices. My bad, I suppose. but pretty shady.

### 4/5 — Great to have my Corefirst

*2023-07-26*

I don’t have time go to gym for pilates. The classes registration also very hard to make . Really appreciate that I can have my Corefirst system . I can enjoy my Pilates time with myself now☺️

### 3/5 — Login problems

*2023-05-06*

Downloaded the app and followed instructions to set up login. Tried 3 times to reset account as app keeps saying wrong credentials. Tried to delete the app and redownload with no luck

### 4/5 — Just what I needed for in home Pilates!

*2023-04-05*

I’m really enjoying getting a Pilates workout in my home! The equipment definitely has a learning curve that I’m still getting used to, but I love the classes and instructors. I love that they are OUTSIDE instead of in a stuffy studio. This will pair perfectly with my Hydrow rower workouts and make me a better rower. 

They only drawback I find with the app so far is that it doesn’t connect to apple health. I wish I could export my classes to that app after I’m done because I always forgot to open my Pilates teacher on my Apple Watch before I start a workout. I hope that this feature is in development for forgetful people like me!!

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2023-03-14*

Love this product, so simple to use and set up. I can get a great workout and not have a bulky system taking up a room.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2023-03-14*

This app is easy to use and has a lot of different workouts from strength, Pilates, yoga and stretching as an example. There is so much variety, you won’t get bored. It makes me want to work out!

### 5/5 — Great Pilates workout

*2023-03-04*

I do reformer pilates and these are great for on the go.  My only “criticism” is I wish they came with a book or you could purchase a book of exercise specifically for this equipment.

### 4/5 — Just starting

*2023-03-03*

My first impression has been a pleasant one. There is a wide variety of videos to select from and they are clear and easy to follow.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2023-02-24, version 10.9.1*

The App works very well on my iPhone and iPad.  The workouts are fun and the instructors are enthusiastic.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-02-06, version 10.8.0*

I love the core first system because it helps my back and leg pain associated with scoliosis.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-01-24, version 10.8.0*

The app makes the corefirst system so easy to use. Love it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-09-04*

The product is great but the app is terrible.  I tried for 2 days to cancel my subscription.  10 emails and multiple attempts to call.  No response. There should be a simple cancel my membership button.  Customer service is non existent.  Buy the product but develop your own program or you will be charged for eternity.

### 1/5 — Be careful

*2024-06-29, version 11.18.0*

There is no way to cancel subscription so be careful with your payment method.

### 1/5 — Can’t get signed in

*2024-06-17, version 11.18.0*

So far not so good as it won’t let me in and no one has responded to help

### 1/5 — It doesn’t provide link to manage the account

*2024-04-15*

I can’t even find how to log in to my account no matter how many times I asked to reset password through ‘forget password’.  Can’t get to cancel my automatic renewal even from the email you sent and supposedly gave the link to do.  The link contains no clickable link.  It’s been frustrating because of poor design which is not user-friendly for management of account at all. Yes, I can see the routines videos but I can’t even log on nor cancel my subscription!  I’ve never seen any exercise apps that’s not manageable like this before

### 1/5 — Cancel

*2024-03-15, version 11.17.0*

Very difficult to camcel

### 1/5 — Signed up for the free month and they charged me the next day

*2024-01-05, version 11.16.0*

Just like the subject says. That is some dishonest marketing!

### 1/5 — Joining?????

*2023-07-01, version 10.11.1*

One can’t do any work outs until one joins. HOW DOES ONE JOIN???? It’s easy to sign in but joining is another matter.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel

*2023-01-08, version 10.8.0*

This app makes it impossible to contact anyone to cancel the subscription.

### 1/5 — Great product terrible app

*2022-05-13, version 9.8.0*

I love this workout system and am so glad I bought the straps HOWEVER this is probably the worst fitness app I’ve ever used the interface is terrible to just see a simple workout and the workouts themselves are so painfully boring I couldn't get thru any of them.

### 1/5 — Hard to use!

*2022-02-27, version 9.7.4*

No verbal instruction, no way to go back without restarting everything. So bad.

### 5/5 — Best APP

*2025-01-26*

This has got to be one of the most elegant & well done fitness apps I have ever seen! I am obsessed with it & how fabulous it is!

### 5/5 — Five Star!

*2024-08-23*

Corefirst offers high quality video content and brings pilates apparatus to your home in an affordable and portable way.  I’m a longtime certified instructor and have never found an at home version of pilates apparatus that ever came close to the feeling of being in the studio until now… the company is still growing and evolving and I’m sure the app will just keep getting better and better😀

### 5/5 — Simply The Best

*2024-06-13, version 11.18.0*

Love it!

### 5/5 — THE BEST

*2024-05-24, version 11.18.0*

What an amazing workout that tones and works the entire body!

### 5/5 — Best home Pilates workout

*2024-05-23, version 11.18.0*

I’m addicted. I do these workouts even on the weekends. Impressive instruction and true Pilates exercises.

### 5/5 — At home Pilates

*2024-05-11*

I travel a lot for work and I really love not leaving the house and paying for a gym. This system has made me stronger and look great. I was very weak and out of shape when I started but that has all changed. The app and equipment are well worth this and I wrote this review for ppl that read reviews for weeks afraid to buy like me lol. They have done a better job but we really need more classes in the app. Once you had the system for a while you will go through all the classes several times and they are still good but coming from peleton its not that many classes.

### 5/5 — Corefirst

*2024-04-01, version 11.17.0*

Great prigram

### 5/5 — Corefirst

*2024-01-18*

This company has outstanding product. If u like Pilates or ever wanted to try, but because of cost, embarrassment of working out in front of other people etc. your teachings are what I need want and enjoy very much

### 5/5 — Corefirst Classic

*2023-05-30*

I have been taking Pilates classes at a local studio for 7 months, but need to pause due to my travel schedule. I purchased the Corefirst Classic so that I could continue my practice. I really enjoy the 40 minute classes on the app.  The queues from the instructors online are very similar to the classes at my local studio, and easy to follow.  I am very happy with my purchase and the ability to continue my Pilates program.

### 5/5 — Uplifting!

*2023-04-18*

Easy to use and so helpful in keeping track of lessons I have taken and liked. Love all the instructors!! So positive! The scenery is gorgeous!!! Keep up the good work!
