Simple, clean, straightforward

Really appreciate this app for the clear instructions, timer between sets, and incorporated increases to weights. A great tool for getting back into strength training after a long break.

Nearly perfect, but 3 main flaws

Overall, I like it. Starting with an assessment is very important and this is one of the very few I’ve seen do it. I also really appreciate the instructions for each exercise. That said, 3 issues. 1 - no ability to set preferred workout duration. I’d rather have an hour, but each is far less than that. 2 - you cannot add injuries so the workouts can be tailored around it - critical for a newbie. And 3 - no timer between exercise types, only between sets of a single activity.

Fortify is a young app and we are learning and iterating all the time. Thank you for trying it!

Really happy with this app

I have just finished up with a PT and decided to give an app a go. I was a little skeptical that it wouldn’t meet my requirements, but I’m presently surprised and will continue to use it.

Strength Training That Meets You Where You Are

Fortify is the first strength training app I’ve found that genuinely fits my life and one that I can see myself staying with for years to come. Eight months postpartum, balancing a baby and a preschooler, I love that I can get four challenging, progressive strength workouts done at home in around 30 minutes, with the flexibility to swap exercises to suit my body. Fortify makes strength training feel achievable and sustainable, which is exactly what women in this stage of life need. This app is beautifully designed and a joy to use!

Easy to use

As a 50+ yr old woman, I was looking for an app that I could use for training that was specifically for women and I landed on Fortify. I’m glad I did. I’ve been using if for about 5 months now and find it easy to use, keeps me accountable, and most welcomingly is if I have a question about making a tech change to my program the team are very responsive to my questions through the email which is really warming. So nice to feel supported once I’ve purchased a product. Thanks Stuart & Fortify team for keeping me fit.

Dr Emily McNeill

I am a women’s health GP specialising in menopause and weight management. We all know how important strength training is for maintaining lean mass and bone density. I have so many patients who would benefit from this app.

Thanks for your positive feedback, Emily, we really appreciate it! We welcome any constructive feedback you or your patients have to share with us, as we work to make Fortify the best strength training app for women over 40.

Perfect Strength Planning App

I downloaded this app a couple weeks ago and so far it is my favorite workout app. I have tried 5 different workout apps and it's like they are trying to cover everything for everyone... too much, and too busy.
This app is exactly what I wanted as a 50 yo woman who is working out to build good muscles and strong bones and stay that way post menopause.

I love that it sets up your workout by muscle groups and not days or times per week, so I can just focus on the workout itself and not get distracted by it I did it in the right day or all the times per week. It keeps me focused on the right thing, which is getting the workout itself done, the right way.

My absolute favorite part of the app is the ability to view different videos of form for each exercise. Correct form is important to me as I'm protecting my body while building it. So many apps have garbage videos or drawings and some aren't even good form for the particular exercise. I am a visual learner and the ability to watch a good video of proper form is incredibly beneficial to me over reading an explanation in words. Thank you so much for adding this exceptional feature.

I also like that you label the exercises as newbie, beginner, advanced, etc...
I am at different levels for different exercises... the ability to choose the specific level for each exercise is top notch as I am at different levels for different exercises. This way I know I can build good form properly in areas I am lacking. Other apps I have tried don't have this individual option.

I also love that this is for strength training specifically not cardio and everything else. I use the app specifically for planning my workout and track my improvement for building strength. I don't want to use it for anything else.

Beginner

Great App, easy to use and being a beginner it allowed me to adjust to my capabilities. Love the fact it also allowed you to swap around an exercise, if you didn’t have the right equipment.

Response from developer

We're so glad to hear you're enjoying the app and finding it easy to use for your workouts. Your feedback on the exercise swap feature is much appreciated and we will definitely pass your kind words along to our team!

It’s Not Guided

The exercises are not guided in this app. Instead, the workout is created for you. The exercises are given. Then you’re supposed to do them on your own. There is no person, no AI picture, no one saying start, stop, counting . . . Instead, you look at the exercises and do them on your own. I need someone to guide me. See them doing it, or at least have a picture of what the exercises is and the person doing it. The app does listen to your experience and will reconfigure your exercise program, so that’s an important benefit. So, I gave it 5 stars because it is good for what it is; I just need something different.

The Perfect Strength Program for Women

Fortify has been a game changer for me. As someone in my 40s who’s focused on building muscle, improving strength, and supporting long-term health (not weight loss), this app delivers exactly what I’ve been looking for.

The instructions are simple, clear, and easy to follow, and the built in rest timer keeps the sessions flowing without any fuss. Everything about the app feels intentional and doable, without gimmicks or fluff. I also love that it connects to Health+, so my workouts are automatically tracked without me having to do anything extra.

If you’re a women who wants a program that prioritizes strength, muscle health, and longevity, Fortify is absolutely worth it. It’s straightforward, flexible, and genuinely empowering.

Seems great so far

I just downloaded this so haven’t tried any of the workouts yet. But I love the look and it seems completely doable!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for downloading the app and the kind comments. We'd love to hear what you think after a couple of workouts. Thanks!

Finally! A workout app that actually works for women

I have a pretty decent knowledge of working out and have done so my adult life however when I hit my 40s, everything changed. I knew I couldn’t go to those group classes without injuring myself. I signed up to the gym but didn’t want to use a personal trainer multiple times a week. Fortify has been a life saver. The workouts are perfectly curated and easy to adjust based on my quirky knees and back. I love how it tracks my progress and adjusts the weights automatically based how I feel about my reps. It pushes ever so gently without pushing me into injury zone. I also love that the rest timer is built in. I am totally in love with this App.

Response from developer

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We really appreciate you sharing your story. We built Fortify for exactly this, women who know their bodies, want to stay strong, but need a smarter way to train in their 40s and beyond. I’m so glad it’s helping you work around those knees and back and still feel progress. Hearing this genuinely makes our days.

Just what I needed!

Have been using this app now for about 6 weeks - have tried the various options (home without weights, gym machines, and dumbbells only) and each one is great - although, boy, do I hurt a lot in the day or two after!! 😆 I am an absolute beginner with weights and this app has been awesome for walking me thru the steps of each exercise - the muscle pain tells me something is working! Love it.

Game changer

So good to have something that gives me a quick and effective program that I can modify to suit my time availability and whether or not I’m doing a quick session at home with no equipment or time to load up at the gym. Thank you for taking the mental load out of my fitness, one less thing to think about in this busy season of life!

I LOVE THIS APP!

…and yes I am using shouty caps because I love it so much! As a 43yo woman, I have been searching for something like this - gentle nudges, simple clear instructions, equipment and Lycra not required. Having done a few sessions now - including in my PJs - I can say it’s working (I’ve got that good ache in my muscles that comes from a satisfying workout) and I reckon at this price, it’s a bargain.

Custom focused workouts

My wife had early beta access to this (she’s perimenopausal) and found it awesome for strength training and improving bone density. Beautiful interface and so many varied workouts with or without equipment. A happy wife … ( as they say) - hence my review. Try it out. Well worth the tiny investment
