Fantastic programs but terrible app
I have been using the app since 2024 and regularly run into issues with the app. I often times get kick out and can’t get back in, or I lose track of where I was in a program and have to start over. The app has consistently been bad for years and it isn’t worth the headache.
Not great..
If I could give this a 0 star I would..
Buggy as heck, lags and logs you out when you don’t want it too. Erased all my progress and when I tried to start again it would just show an error and log me out again..
When it did decide to work it wasn’t very user friendly and very minimal vegan/vegetarian options..
Disappointed is an understatement.

Great Workouts!
I love this app! I love the progress I am seeing with the program I am using. If I could make one suggestion I wish there was a spot to log the weight you chose on past workouts to make sure you are progressing. Sometimes I forget which weight I used last week and I like to challenge myself
Great workouts!
The workouts and programs themselves are 10/10! The price is really fair for the value imo, the video clips and explainers are really helpful, and the programs are easy to stick to but still challenging as you progress. I don’t find the other uses (recipes, habit tracking, etc.) very intuitive so I don’t use them. My only improvement for the workouts would be a place to add notes when you’re entering reps and weight.

Blown away
This app has blow my mind. I’m consistently going to the gym for the first time ever. No more days of not knowing what to do, or how to do it, everything I need is here. Thank you so much!
Making progress
I love the hourglass program. It’s 20 weeks and I’m about 16 weeks in. I’ve put on some muscle and my waist is smaller. I love the start to finish warm up and cool down so I don’t have to plan or think about a thing, I just get started.
App needs work
I love the workout programs and split. I really feel like the programs are amazing. But the way the app works with the workout is so disappointing. I wish there was a way to add more pause to set up for the next exercise. I also wish there was more coaching while doing it.
Long term user
Always go back to this app! I like the confidence it gives me in the gym, functional and great options depending on goals
Love
Changed my life, not only the workouts, but the eating as well, it’s okay to have balance, it’s okay to have a rest day, highly recommend
it’s not working
:(

Not working
My app was working fine for over a year; however, the new update doesn’t allow it to find a program. In the middle of a program so this is frustrating
What I wanted
This app has workouts for home or gym. You can switch up the workouts or change them out for other similar ones. It has a macro calculator built in so you can track and it has food recipes you can make for your goals. Great app it’s what I was looking for and after only 2 weeks of use I was already getting very wanted results!

Can you make it so the ap doesn’t let your phone fall asleep during the rest timer
A few bugs to sort out
Love the app, user experience is handy. I just tried onboarding 3 times though, and wanted to activate a new program and it had an error unable to process your request bug. Plz help I’d love to get properly set up <3
Now I cycle, lift and stretch
This app has opened up my eyes for new experience in fitness. The exercises I do are diverse, better executed, and I feel safe to progressively overload. Finding recipes that are healthy, truly delicious and satisfying are all here too! Honestly try it, there is way more than I mentioned. Recipes can easily be modified to make more servings. Men if you are reading this let me tell you it’s for you too… have a great time!

Easy to be consistent
I’ve been using this app for over a year now and been loving the improvements. There’s so many workout apps out there & tried some of them but I would come back to this one because it’s the most user friendly. I like that it curates a program for you & I can alternate workouts if the machine if occupied.
A big plus is the habit tracker, I chose 3 goals & it’s helps me be consistent. I sometimes use the recipes (highly recommend the bagel one!). I can add workouts to my schedule and love that it beeps when the timer is almost up.
Here’s my cons about it; I wish it would beep for the timer while the phone is off. It would also be awesome if it connected to smart watches. It sometimes stops the music you are listening to or lowers the volume for longer than needed.
Overall this helped me a lot during my graduate studies since I barely had time, do new workouts I was scared of with its video instructions, and financially since I was a broke college student and it was one of the least expensive options.

Best App I’ve Ever Used
I love this App for the convenience it offers and simplicity. This is an app that literally reads your mind. I almost feel like I built this App for myself and my needs. I will forever support it as it solved major problems for me as someone who gets overwhelmed easily and quits whenever things get complicated. It tracks my progress, it suggests a workout plan for me, helps me with recipes, and my favorite thing is that I can adjust my schedule. This app definitely supports flexibility and feels tailored to every possible need.

Life changing
Gains by Brains has honestly changed my life 🤍
It’s the first program I’ve stayed consistent with—quick, effective workouts that fit my schedule. I’ve gotten leaner, stronger, and more toned without feeling overwhelmed.
Once I focused on my nutrition and hitting my protein, everything clicked.
So grateful for Gaby Scheyen for creating something that truly works 💪✨

Loving 95%
Living this app and the follow along videos. I do with there were ways to pause during a timed workout, as well as the workouts flowing without having to press the next one in line. Besides that I am obsessed with her production!
