### 5/5 — Love the app

*2025-11-09, version 3.27.0*

Great workouts. Love the onscreen timer. Love the weekly schedule. Love the burnouts at the end of workouts. Love the circuit style of the workouts! Hope more recipes are coming!!

### 5/5 — a very GOOOD app!!!!

*2025-06-08*

i really enjoyed this app, the most important things is to like doing your workout and have a great coaches with passionate enthusiasm is sooo important !!!!

### 4/5 — App is very glitchy both on iPhone and MacBook

*2024-08-24, version 3.19.1*

On the MacBook, there is no “scroll down” functionality - the workaround is to use the “down” key but that does not work for every page. 
On the iPhone, there is no way of ending a video without closing the app altogether. 
The workouts are great but the app is not user-friendly.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2024-07-27, version 3.18.2*

I follow LA on instagram and this app is amazing. Lots of selection for beginner to intermediate. I really enjoyed the postnatal workouts after my C-section.  I would highly recommend this app for anyone. Easy to use and very affordable!

### 5/5 — Dtba

*2024-07-24, version 3.18.2*

a valid help for a sedentary job lasting 8-9 hours thank you so much to all the staff, a big kiss to La and her belly ♥️

### 1/5 — Not able to sign in

*2024-03-15*

Won’t let me sign it it doesn’t recognize my email

### 5/5 — so worth it!!

*2023-07-07*

amazing app, amazing team. love the content— best and only work out app I’ll keep using!!

### 5/5 — Effective workouts and thoughtful programming

*2023-04-25*

The workouts and programming in this app are things I’ve been looking for for years. It’s physical therapy meets personal training and I truly don’t have enough good things to say! As someone who really enjoys movement but has been continually hampered by injuries, this app is helping me become more in shape and teaching me so much about my body and how to move correctly. Dr. Thoma makes the workouts fun and informative - and most importantly effective. The programming is so so thoughtful, each week is shaped to work the whole body, while also fitting in some really specific focuses that for me have been key to achieving the well-rounded strength in my body that helps prevent injury.

### 4/5 — Love the workouts, the app could be better

*2022-12-15*

I really like LA’s simple, low-fuss, form-focused style of workout and instruction. Taking structural care of my body and feeling strong just as important to me as looking good, and she is so good about illustrating proper form. Some of the workouts are a style in which she moves through a workout while providing instruction (I like these), some are timed and recorded chunks of video that seem built from a “moves library” (I don’t like these). There’s a decent variety of workout duration and targeted muscle groups. It seems like about half the videos on the app are also available for free on her channels, but it appears they’re adding more app-only videos somewhat regularly. The main issue I have is with the app itself — it’s buggy, clunky, not intuitive, and slow. It’s also not a terribly expensive app, compared to other trainers’ programs, so maybe we’re getting what we pay for? Unclear, but I’d really love to see a better designed interface to access LA’s helpful videos.

### 5/5 — perfect for my season of life

*2022-12-13*

i have been following LA work outs since it was on just her instagram. i have always been a huge fan of being able to do all these work outs within 30 min and at home. it's perfect for my season of life. i like how they all aren't super high intensity so some days it's a stretch or a walk. others it's jumping and more intense. 

and the calendar telling me what to do is really motivating for me because i don't want to miss one. nor do i have to come up with something to go. 
i like her slow and controlled moves and some that are completely new to me. working multiple parts of the body in one work out. 

i just canceled my gym membership to just do the app. its so much more attainable for me!
