### 5/5 — Helped Me Actually Put On Weight

*2026-06-18*

I’ve always had a hard time gaining weight and this app has helped a lot. It makes it way easier to keep track of calories and macros without having to think about it all day. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and already noticed some progress. It’s been super helpful and keeps me on track. Would recommend if you’re trying to bulk up.

### 5/5 — I really like this app

*2026-06-13*

Of the bat im starting to like this

### 5/5 — Finally found an app that my son will use!

*2026-05-26*

My son absolutely loves the GainsCoach app! It’s the first thing that’s truly motivated him to consistently track his nutrition and stay focused on meeting his daily goals. I love that it encourages healthy eating habits and gives him a way to see his progress every day. He is now using it daily and has already gained 5 pounds!  It has been such a great tool for helping him stay accountable and motivated highly recommend athletes trying to fuel properly and gain weight!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2026-05-25*

As a high school athlete, GainsCoach has been a game changer for me. It’s super easy to use and keeps everything simple, which helps a lot when I’m juggling school, training, and everything else.

It gives me exactly what I need to stay on track with my weight goals and helps me consistently eat enough to gain size before the season. The plans are straightforward and actually realistic for a busy athlete schedule.

Overall, it’s a really great app if you want to build size, stay disciplined, and not overthink your nutrition.

### 5/5 — Only Nutrition App You’ll Ever Need.

*2026-05-07*

I recently downloaded this app and have been blown away by all the features. This app combines nutrition, recovery, and muscle building all into one. The coolest part of the app to me is how reactive it is. If you miss your protein goal for the day, or don’t get enough sleep, the app will create a next day plan that will help you make up the slack of the previous day. The app also helps you find which supplements are right for you, and how to take them effectively. Whether you’re an experienced athlete or complete beginner to nutrition and muscle building, this app will help you tremendously. Overall, I would definitely recommend this app to anyone trying to build muscle, gain weight, improve recovery, or just stay organized with your nutrition and fitness goals.

### 5/5 — College athlete gaining weight

*2026-05-07*

Highly recommended by my college coach, I gained the weight I needed. This app helped me so much during this process.

### 5/5 — Honest Review

*2026-05-03*

As a current division 1 athlete this has helped and will continue to help me substantially in my career as someone who needs to gain lean mass headed into year 2 of college.

### 5/5 — Didn’t think I’d need another nutrition app!

*2026-05-01*

Was pretty skeptical going in, figured it’d be another AI gimmick over a basic food log. It’s not. The photo analysis is actually accurate (tested it against stuff I knew the macros on), the kitchen scan is genuinely useful for hitting the grocery store, and Coach Gains gives advice that’s specific enough to act on.
I’m trying to put on size for my sport and hitting a real surplus every day is harder than it sounds, Coach Gains actually pushes me when I’m short on calories or protein instead of just logging the miss. First app that’s helped me stay on track with a bulk.
Not perfect - would love an Apple Watch app eventually, but the core experience is way ahead of what’s out there. 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Super easy to follow

*2026-05-01*

I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now and I can already see a difference on the scale. My son has a frame that can carry more weight and we tried everything, but he just couldn’t put on weight. This app helped us with timing of when and what to eat. Super easy to follow! Highly recommend this!
