Love the app
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!!
a very GOOOD app!!!!
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 !!!!
App is very glitchy both on iPhone and MacBook
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.

Great App!
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!

Effective workouts and thoughtful programming
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.

Love the workouts, the app could be better
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.

perfect for my season of life
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!

Doable and humane
I love this app. I think what I appreciate so much is that there is not a focus on appearance but instead of focus on getting stronger and feeling mentally great. Doing the 28 day challenge and I think it is perfect for someone like me who is getting back into exercising after a lull. LA is great at giving options and her background as a PT shines through- there’s a lot of emphasis on proper form which is so needed and is often missing from exercise apps.

The only workouts I have ever enjoyed!!
I started doing LA’s workouts on YouTube for about a year. And was so happy she created this app. I enjoy doing them and listening to all her knowledge as she guides you through them. It’s not only about how you will look but about how strong your body will get as your health improves. I cannot say enough good things about how her workouts have affected my life in such a positive way!! Thank you LA!

Love it but…
The app’s functionality could use work. I’ve been doing the 28 days of movement challenge and it’s claimed I’m on Day 4 for two weeks! Some of the videos have sound and others don’t which feels inconsistent. I think it’s imperative for all app workouts to have a guided option and let the users elect to turn the volume off. Best to assume people coming to an app for workouts need the extra help.
As far as pricing is concerned it does feel a bit expensive when you compare it to other apps in the same price range. It offers less than Centr for example. But Dr. Gustin’s educational background is why I use her app. I am a retired dancer and suffer from a lot of old injuries. Her approach to workouts and movement works for me and I can do them consistently. Plus it’s cheaper than me ambling around a gym not knowing what to do for way more money in membership fees. Totally true that you can find workouts on YouTube for free if that’s your thing. But that’s like comparing apples and oranges. I don’t think that’s a good justification for a one star review.
Definitely plan on keeping the app. Hope they continue to make improvements. The content is great.

loveeee la’s workouts!!
I have been using dare to be active for about a year now and LA’s workouts are the only workouts that I enjoy. her workouts are so simple and she explains everything so clearly so it’s easy to understand! I do feel that the premium can be a bit pricey and there are only a few free workouts but I do think it’s worth it!

YouTube is free!!!
Actual influencers and trainers do some of this for free. Her own husband does not use this…
Short enough that I have no reason not to
Great, full body workouts with safe coaching method and easy to work into my day
App crashes constantly
I like the app and would love to keep using it but it crashes every time! After about 1 min, it crashes regardless of what I do even after the updates
Perfect
Perfect❤️
Disappointed
Obviously the app doesn’t tell you that the service isn’t free until you insert your personal data. You can’t delete your account without contacting them, and you can’t contact them without adding your email to your iPhone, ridiculous
Best App for Workout Beginners
As someone who's new to working out this app and L.A. are amazing. I started following her quarantine YouTube work outs and am thrilled to continue with the app. The demos are easy to follow as a beginner or to perfect your form as an experienced exercise enthusiast. The different length and body area workouts give me the flexibility to fit exercise in my schedule. I feel confident in L.A. knowing she's a DPT and has everyone's health and safety at the forefront of her app. Worth every penny.
One feature I'd love to see in the future is being able to access videos from a web portal on a larger screen or Chromecast functionality for the app.
