Another click bait app

Downloaded the app and did the mobility test which was awesome! Got us really excited to check out the exercises. One 8 minute stretch per day is going to cost us $138 per year? No thanks. How about have a tiered plan?

Awesome UI and workouts

Used for a couple months now and have loved the app. Only note to the developers is I wish they’d continue to add more functional strength based stretches.

Best flexibility/mobility app ever

I am a collegiate baseball player who had a chronically tight posterior chain. I had my strength coach recommend this app for me and it has changed my life. After consistently using this app for about a month now I am able to touch my toes for the first time in my life.

Gutes Konzept Aber ausbaufähig

An sich finde ich die App und die Idee dahinter super. Es ermöglicht jedem sehr einfach für eine recht kurze Zeit die eigene Mobilität in Angriff zu nehmen oder zu erhalten. Die einzigen Kritikpunkte, die mir auffallen: es fehlt wirklich stark an Aufwärmung. Vor allem morgens ist der Körper noch viel zu steif für so viele statische Stretches und dann auch für so eine lange Dauer. Es ergibt sich kein Flow, was wirklich schade ist und frühs auch teils schädlich sein kann. Zum anderen fehlen mir Breathing Ques. Das würde wirklich helfen tiefer in die Dehnung zu kommen, besser zu entspannen und auch das Körpergefühl verbessern. Man könnte sie ja beim Easy Mode rauslassen, damit Anfänger nicht direkt überfordert sind, aber langfristig sind sie sicher sinnvoll :) I

Response from developer

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re really glad you enjoy GOWOD and its concept. Your suggestions regarding warm-ups, session flow, and breathing cues are very interesting. We truly appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind as we continue to improve the GOWOD experience!

Just download and use it

The free mobility assessment is extremely informative and useful. Have been using the app for two years now and improved a lot. I have reached a plateau and stretches are repeating. Would love to see a way to request new sports to be added

Excellent app for stretching

It’s the only stretching/mobility app that I’ve been able to keep to. Doesn’t ask for too much or too little and you can adopted to your skill set. Good range of different types of stretches and different varieties and different options. I highly recommend as I’ve been keeping to this for over a year now.

Free Version is B.S

Everything they do is to push you into the paid version.

Response to dev team:

Yes a free library that i can get anywhere. The only useful thing about this app was the mobility test. And that is no where near what you are charging.

Not Beginner Friendly

I’m a fairly athletic person and an avid runner, so I thought this would be a great app to help me improve my mobility. The interface and usability is good, but I was disappointed to find that many of the stretches/exercises are overly complicated and difficult to the point that I can’t even do them on the ‘easy mode’. Most of these are targeting basic muscle groups that could easily be covered with a simpler movement. There is also no way to mark specific stretches/movements as not wanted, so I’m running into the same movements that I can’t do or are painful to do in every single session. If I was flexible enough to do these workouts I wouldn’t need the app in the first place.

Bien mais perfectible

D’une façon générale l’application est bien sympa et c’est un véritable game changer pour son bien être.
Cependant deux choses me chagrines après 1 an d’utilisation.
1) la durée des exercices. Sur de l’activation parfois 1 minutes c’est trop long. Ca serait bien de pouvoir choisir ce temps. Sur une séance d’entraînement un peu courte je préférerais faire 20x30s plus tôt que 10x1min et être passé par plus de mouvement.
2) sur de l’activation pour de l’haltérophilie par exemple, si je renseigne squat snatch et clean & jerk alors j’aurais quasi toujours les memes mouvements…

Response from developer

Bonjour, Merci pour votre retour et votre fidélité. Vous soulevez deux points très pertinents. Concernant la durée des exercices, celle-ci est définie pour garantir l’efficacité des mouvements proposés, mais nous comprenons que certains utilisateurs puissent souhaiter davantage de flexibilité selon leur pratique. Pour l’haltérophilie, nous travaillons également à enrichir la variété des mouvements proposés afin d’éviter les répétitions. Merci pour ces suggestions constructives, elles nous aident à améliorer l’application.

Great app, but some inconsistencies

I love the app, but there are a few problems with it. My biggest concern is that some of the targeted muscle groups and Stimulus appear to be wrong or incomplete. The lunge rotation in my Daily showed different targets areas than the Library and the pec stretch on the ground doesn’t list the back list the other big muscles that are impacted like other stretches. These are minor points, but they are not accurate and inconsistent.

Great app but excludes many sports

LOVE this app- very helpful for me as someone who does gymnastics competitively. The only thing holding me back from 5 stars is that there is no option for gymnastics as a sport. It is also a weird coincidence that cheer, dance, skating etc are not included! Great app but please include ALL sports.

Paywall

This app is great but it feels like you can only use it by spending money. You can't favorite stretches without paying for a subsciption. It would be a lot better if it was less restrictive for those who don't want to pay money. Even if you want to start the 7 day free trial you need to enter your credit card info without even starting the subscription, and it automatically takes $125 right after the 7 days run out.

No skateboarding?

This is a great stretching and mobility app, but why is there no skateboarding under sports?

Reaches parts you wouldn't expect!

Very very pleased with this App. I used to be a yoga teacher and these stretches are finding muscles workouts I've knew. Really helps me with my sport, keeps my back well and overall body in great shape. Clever and simple! Nice job!

Incredible

GOWOD has been a great addition to my daily routine. I used the other popular mobility app for a while before switching and this is by far the best of the two. I have no complaints! This is strictly feedback for small improvements that would be beneficial to *some.

My first suggestion is to make an option for a widget on the phones home screen. Those are great reminders to open an app.

Another suggestion would be to allow a selection of multiple positions for one sport. Ex: for (flag) football or basketball, some play multiple positions. I’m not sure what really changes from position to position but it would still be nice to select, just in case.

My last suggestion is to add more of the popular Crossfit Programs to the list. I understand it’s only the list of partners, but Mayhem would be another great addition to that list.

Thank you for hearing me out!

Great app

I am using this every day and have seen a significant difference

GOWOD Review: the only thing holding it back from being a 5 (1 major issue please read developers)

The app is amazing towards those with very specific goals and serious users. The user interface is extremely clean. The only issue I have with this app is the fact that it doesn’t have widgets. I use widget to see my weekly progress easily on my phone for my protocol, but I have to use a shortcut instead. I know you guys can do better. I bet it’s not hard to create one, and it would make this app even more tolerable. That’s the only thing holding back my review from being a 5. If you guys change it I will change it because the app would be more complete. We just need amazing, clean looking widgets.

Super appli mais….

L’appli IOS est vraiment super bien faite. Les exercices sont compréhensibles, très bien expliqués évacué les détails, le chrono permet d’avoir le teps de changer de position et elle prend à compte le matériel du moment.
Malheureusement, la synchronisation avec une Garmin, ce n’est vraiment pas ça! Apres avoir télécharger le mode pour la Garmin, il n’y a pas de synchro qui se fait dans l’appli Garmin, du coup la séance n’apparaît pas, et il n’y a pas le détail des exercices. Ensuite, sur la dernière maj, le temps indiqué pour chaque exercice est 60 min et non 1 minute.
C’est vraiment la grosse lacune pour moi de GoWod, la liaison Garmin et la compatibilité avec Garmin Connect qui est inexistante.
Dommage

Si vous avez toujours des retours a nous faire, vous pouvez contacter directement notre support clients directement depuis l'app, qui se fera un plaisir de vous aider. Merci à vous!

The best mobility app

I’ve tried all mobility apps, this is by far the best one out there and it’s not even close. The test is fantastic at understanding where I need help, and I’ve been following the personalised mobility routine every day or so and have felt an immediate difference.

Highly recommend if you’re like me and don’t have the best mobility!

Good for stretching

Could do with a talk through not just pictures.
