So far, so good

I like that the workouts are not overwhelming. Especially, in the beginning. This made easier to start and make it part of my morning routine (although it could be done anytime of the day). I don't thnk that I have spent more than 20 min on a workout. In fact, it was probably more like 15. Some take a little less time. The first workout surprisingly made me sore, but my wife reminded me to be sure and stretch before and after the workout. This made a big difference for me the next time that I worked that muscle group. I've enjoyed the workouts so far. Be sure to stretch (this goes for any workout, especially if you are just starting one). Great workout for people that don't have much time to commit to something intensive.

I had actually lost weight with this workout when I was consistent with it. It has been a few years since I have exercised with the app. I started from the beginning and it has been easy to get back into. Still one of my favorite workout regimens.

Amazing app, Runs smoothly, lots of variety.

I LOVE IT

Incredibly successful

I used this app to get fit several years ago to great success. I felt great and was able to gain the strength I wanted. Picking this back up after all this time and it’s still a great way to get back into fitness. The app has seen minor improvements throughout the years but overall it’s a very basic and straightforward app. I wish the interface was a little simpler but no major complaints.

I have used this app constantly for a number of years, I think it’s amazing and definitely a go too for me when I need to ground myself following a period of inconsistency - increasingly it doesn’t appear to be supported by Apple which is a shame - personally I will continue to use it till it eventually dies out on my phone which sadly could be anytime soon!

Used it for years

Love this app. Every time I use it consistently I feel better. I haven’t always lost weight but I have gotten stronger and I always feel healthier and better about myself which is the real goal right? I have arthritis in my hands and back and have been pregnant while using it. Some exercises I have to modify or swap out to address my personal needs. Like I have to do wall pushups instead of normal ones because of the pressure on my wrists. Tutorials are clear and straightforward. I would love to see a low impact and/or natal workout added to the list of workouts.

Unbalanced

The good:
Clear demos with plenty of variety
Good value. No subscription needed.
Genuinely comprehensive range of exercises requiring no equipment apart from a mat and an optional pull up bar.

The bad:
Crude, ugly interface
Hard to keep track of day to day progress
No scientific or best-practice underpinning or sense of professional expertise

Conclusion:
Useful, but best followed in combination with a notebook and a bit of background research.

Nice Body Weight Wokouts

You don’t need much equipment to get in shape and this app shows you just how to do it! Great body weight workouts abound!
Love it!

Love this app

The app is a great, easy planning workout app. Love the lay out and simplicity.

I’m not disciplined enough, BUT...

UPDATE: I’m still not working out regularly, yet I still keep coming back to this app! It’s simple and no-nonsense enough to keep me active whenever I am motivated to get/keep fit!

Try as I may, I have *always* found it difficult in devolving a regular discipline cadence for working out. However, with all the apps and programs out there for getting some kind of routine, I always keep coming back to Gorilla Workout... to start all over. :p Getting in some exercise is completely on me. And I appreciate that Gorilla Workout makes it simple (though not always easy) for me to follow a program to burn some calories and get a little more fit every time I use the app!

Love this app!

Work outs are easy and so quick! Feeling the burn!!!

Push-ups

I bought this when there was one program: push-ups. I did the workouts and lifted lightly in between and got up to 125 consecutive push-ups. The other workouts have also been great.

Great start

Great start to my first workout, looking forward to the next

Great App & Progression

Great easy to use app! Love how you progress from beginner to harder work outs. Very motivating and well thought out exercises.

Good so far

Was looking for an body weight workout app to help mix up the routine. Came across this and.. I’m enjoying it!! did my first workout got a good pump short easy to the point , also like the daily reminder feature

Super User Friendly

Awesome app. Great for working out when away on holidays or camping or wherever. Solid selection of variety for every level. App runs smoothly. Good value!

Pay for the app… get nothing

So I paid for the app, open it up and then realise that I also have to pay for each individual workout?

Why did I pay for the app when there’s no benefit? You could have just had a free app and then asked people to pay for the workouts.
