Simple to use!
Because this app is so simple to use, I’m able to stay consistent. With other apps or programs, I feel overwhelmed with all the options or I have to start timers myself, and then I get lazy and just stop using it. I initially used this app to help me get over quadricep tendinitis, and now I’m just using it to support my running. My only complaint is when you open the app, if you have it set to hear the beeps for the start and stop of an exercise, it makes your music quiet. I then increase the volume on my phone which also increases the volume of the beeps which is not necessary. I’d love an option to not change the volume of the music at all. Other than that, it’s great!!! I’m planning to get it for my aging mom as well just to guide her through basic PT I’ve been telling her she should be doing anyway. She can ignore the running part or go for a walk instead.

Good graduated PT exercises; short on personalizing program
I’ve been using the Exakt Running & PT Trainer to address gluteal tendinopathy for 6months now. It’s best for graduated PT exercises as the cues & exercises have really helped my rehabilitation so that I could recover my strength. At this point in time, I’m in the process of progressing my endurance runs using Exakt. Big issues with the app: I never could get it to synchronize with my Apple Watch after much troubleshooting, so I have to carry my iPhone on runs, which I don’t like to do. Secondly, I couldn’t customize my program & progress on the app or even specify which particular exercises cause discomfort/pain or which are easy or difficult, as the program has me rate each session in total. Thirdly, I don’t like that the app doesn’t let me customize or make changes to the workout schedule. For examples, I completed exercise sessions but forgot to mark as completed, but the program won’t let me update that once that day passed. Or there were days I couldn’t go running because I’d be scheduled to work 3 12-hour shifts in a row as an ICU nurse. The program wouldn’t let me substitute something at home like a core or leg workout on the mat as substitutions on those days, never mind that I’d track 15,000 steps per day on those days at work. In short, the app program is very limited & rigid & doesn’t take into account or reflect whole body or life activities.

Back pain
I’ve always had this old running injury with my left back, and I’m postpartum now. My second pregnancy definitely worsened my back pain towards the third trimester. It was bothering me so much lately. I remembered doing the exakt app prior to pregnancy and it did help my back pain. So today I reopened the app, and tried the back mobility exercises and my back pain seriously improved, almost gone. I’m really impressed! I guess I really have to stretch nowadays in my late 30s.

Love this App
This is an excellent app. Very clear instructions. I’ve been on the program for five weeks and what a difference. I’d love for the developers to branch out into other areas of the body - shoulders, elbows etc

Too many issues
I really wanted to like this app. The programming is excellent but when logging a workout in the app it’s turns my music down without being able to fix so I have yo do the workout and log after.
My biggest complaint right now is I paid for the $20 upgrade for the month and have been unable to get into the app the past 3-4 days. As soon as I attempt to open the app it force quits despite attempting various troubleshooting methods. If this happened for just a day or two it would be no big deal but now going on four days is ridiculous!

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and sorry for the delay in replying. 🙏 We’re very sorry about the crash issues you’ve experienced — that should of course not happen. Please reach out via our support form https://www.exakthealth.com/en/contact Regarding the music volume: when you start a workout in the app, the system lowers other audio. You can switch off workout sounds in the workout settings and then adjust your phone volume to enjoy your music at normal level. Just keep in mind to lower the volume again once the workout ends, as it will jump back up. We appreciate your patience and hope you can get back to training with Exakt soon!
