### 5/5 — The best workouts!

*2026-02-24*

Love these workouts for busy moms! So easy to follow along and totally worth the membership. I love the 5 min workouts.  Challenges make it easy to know which workout you’re doing next. I love the format of following the video and audio prompts. I like tracking streaks and challenges. Overall recommend! I tried other workout apps and they were not as user friendly and not as easy to follow along. Great customer service too!

### 5/5 — Best program for busy moms

*2026-02-22*

I’ve been with this program for over two years and just had my second baby. The 5-10 minute postpartum workouts were the ONLY thing that kept me moving, building strength and healing after my first and the pregnancy program was a game changer for keeping up my strength throughout my second pregnancy, managing pain, and preparing for delivery. I recommend this program to any mom wanting to fit in effective workouts at any stage they’re at!

### 5/5 — Not afraid to sneeze anymore!

*2026-02-20, version 0.4.10*

2 months into the program and I could sneeze without worrying about being embarrassed. 
I love the 5 minute workouts because they are achievable as a busy mom. 
My favorite part of the app is suggesting a complementary workout so I can keep going if I have energy and time.

### 5/5 — Real and manageable

*2026-02-16*

I started using Chelsea Method when I was 2 months postpartum with the first diastasis recti series and it was so manageable because the workouts are only 5-10 minutes each. I also love the squads. I have formed real relationships with other REAL moms who are doing it alongside me and it’s so encouraging. I am 5 months pp now and have lost about 3 inches and can fit into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes (and this was baby #3)!

### 5/5 — Workouts I can stick with!

*2026-02-16, version 0.4.7*

3 years after having my third baby, my core was shot with a huge diastasis recti, and I didn’t have the time or money for physical therapy. I was shocked that 5-10 minutes a day transformed my core in just a couple months! 

But it’s not just core and pelvic floor. There are targeted workouts for your whole body, from a PT perspective to maximize impact for busy moms.

I love that I can workout for 5 minutes, or stack multiple workouts when I have more time. The app is intuitive and fun to use, and meets me where I’m at each day. Plus, the squad support keeps me going.

If you’re like me and have struggled to get back to exercising as a busy mom, try this program!

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2026-02-15, version 0.4.7*

Great app for postpartum mom workouts. I was on the old app they functioned through, and this one is 100x better! So easy to use and chat with your group. And I love that you can add workouts to your session as you go. Great setup; I’m here for it.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2026-02-15*

As a full-time working mom, this app is amazing… I’ve been able to have a regular workout routine again for the first time in years. The app is easy to use and the support of the community provides great accountability. The workouts are perfectly tailored to both the schedule of busy moms and also the uniqueness of postpartum bodies. I have learned so much from the trainer and feel so much stronger than when I started a couple of months ago. This feels sustainable and even fun! I love that my kids see me working out and want to join in too :) Well worth the investment.

### 5/5 — Changed my life

*2026-02-15*

This app and community is made for busy moms. The exercises are deigned by a PT who is also a mom. There are specific pelvic floor and diastasis recti exercises which help postpartum, and also exercises to get back into shape. Most of the workouts are 5 min long and you can stack as many or as little as you want in a day. There is a supportive chat community that encourages you and keeps members on track. I’m so grateful for high five!

### 5/5 — The Chelsea Method / HiFive

*2026-02-10*

This program has changed my life drastically in the best way; I couldn’t imagine how it could do any better- and then, this app came out. …the hardest part of getting more active and fit is starting and staying consistent- I am so happy to have found this when I did, and can say today I’m on a 514 day streak… idk can do this- anyone can! I can’t scream it loud enough but, “MOMS (and this also works for the girls/ladies whom haven’t yet had children)- START HERE, NOW- find the pocket of time, and make it a habit, everyday…. You will see improvement in more than just your strength- also in your energy, mood, and mental focus and clarity will improve… 100% worth it- but you will never know if you don’t give it the honest try!”   OBSESSED WITH THIS

### 5/5 — Amazing for moms!

*2026-02-10*

Amazing for moms! When you have kids, finding time for exercise can be very difficult. But with Hifive, you just need 5-10 minutes! And it truly makes a difference. I’ve had 4 kids and have dealt with leaking and other pelvic floor issues, but all have been resolved with using Hifive! And I’ve not even been consistent with it. That’s how good it is!

There are also workouts beyond healing your core and pelvic floor after pregnancy (and maintaining during pregnancy!). Dr. Stephanie has workouts for cardio, upper body, lower body, booty, stretches…there are so many options!

It is 100% worth it, definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — The only way I keep working out

*2026-02-10*

This app is so perfectly designed for moms with its pelvic floor focus, the 5 minute workouts, and the squads.I love my squad: they keep me accountable, but even more important, they cheer me on whether I work out or rest that day, whether I killed the workouts or barely made it through a stretch. I’m in a crazy season of life, and this is the only thing keeping me getting the workouts in.

### 5/5 — FIVE MINUTES! that’s all you have to do.

*2026-02-09*

5 minutes? How can 5 minutes make you stronger? I can attest that they do, especially with consistency. 
I have lost weight and gained muscle doing these workouts and honestly the foundation challenges that have you work on your pelvic floor are GOLDEN for postpartum recovery. 
These 5 minutes are easily a favorite part of my day, if I only have 5 minutes, check! If I want to do more I can stack workouts. 
And it’s not just workouts that this app provides, it’s community. You join a squad and share goals and milestone and personal challenges. It’s the WHOLE package!
I’ve been part of the HiFive community for close to a year now and have no intention of quitting :)

### 5/5 — Love hifive!

*2026-02-09, version 0.4.5*

I tell all my mom friends who complain of ab separation. The workouts are healing! My core is stronger. The birth prep classes Also really helped me during the delivery of my second child. Pushing was actually easy- compared to the first time. Love the videos

### 5/5 — The best mom workouts

*2026-02-09, version 0.4.5*

I joined almost 2 years ago when Hifive was known as Chelsea method. This program has been lifesaving as a mom. 5 minute workouts make it easy to get a little movement in during the day. The squads are so encouraging! It’s a big mom party everyday. 
This new app is designed beautifully and is so easy to use!

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2026-02-09*

I love this program and have recommended it to all moms close to me. It is so accessible to moms starting from scratch with little time to herself throughout the day. You won’t even be doing it alone as you’ll be added to a small group of other moms to be encouraged/ reminded to keep going! The workouts are so helpful because she talks you through what position you should be in to engage the specific muscles. If five minutes is not enough for you there are more videos to pair with it to give you some more umph. Love it!

### 5/5 — Love the workouts and support

*2026-02-08, version 0.4.5*

Great program! The 5-10 minutes is so attainable for busy parents. The added support is unlike any other workout program I’ve tried!

### 5/5 — Made for Mom’s!

*2026-02-07*

I absolutely love this app and the exercise program! I can find so many different kinds of exercises to fit my goals and energy levels and they all only take a few minutes. Doing a few minutes everyday has really made a difference for my life. 

And I love the element of squads and connecting with other moms. My squad cheers me on, helps me learn, and goes me a little boost during the day. 

10/10 recommend to any woman wanting to work out everyday

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — They want money too

*2026-05-03, version 0.7.0*

Drags you through the app and wants you to pay 10$ a month

### 1/5 — Lies

*2026-04-21, version 0.6.5*

Claims it’s free in the add. It is not. No workouts are viewable without paying.

### 2/5 — So much potential

*2026-04-24, version 0.6.7*

I want to love this program. It has a lot of great aspects.  And I know app development is hard but the app still has too many flaws right now. You can’t set your stage so you constantly have to filter through pregnancy/postpartum videos to find ones that fit where you are. They make it sound like the squads are this amazing community but most people don’t actually get that experience. I hope they make it better, but right now I would probably pick a different program for the cost.

### 5/5 — Edited: Love It …. Wishes Fulfilled!

*2026-09-02*

Edit to say, they added the tracking feature to iPhones so I changed this to 5 stars! The worries are great! The community even better!! 


 I do love this app and think it has great potential. Can you please release the option for it to talk to my health app! I would love if they would be able to talk to each other so I don’t manually have to log a workout in my health app on my iPhone. I would rate 5 stars when I have that option!

### 5/5 — HiFive has helped me develop a love for exercising!

*2026-08-09*

I’ve been using HiFive for just over a year, starting summer 2025. I have been an “intermittent exerciser” since 2020, and while I’m good at maintaining my weight I’ve struggled to lose it, especially postpartum. I commented to a friend (mother of 5) that she looked so good, and she invited me to try HiFive. 

The streak feature in particular, combined with the 5 minute videos (I can make myself do 5 minutes a day!) has helped me get into the habit of moving my body. I find that often once I’ve done 1 video, it’s easier to keep going and do 1-3 more! I only occasionally do more than 20 minutes. This also helps me feel like I’m getting a decent workout in; I’m strong and fairly fit. I am used to Bodi workouts which are harder/more intense, but stacking HiFive videos makes it more challenging for me.

Having the better exercise routine has helped me develop better eating habits too, and I’m almost 20lbs down in 2026. My mental health is also so much better because I’m not beating myself up for not consistently exercising. Thank you Stephanie and team for this approachable app, and my friend L for introducing me to it!

### 5/5 — Quick and Effective

*2026-06-20, version 0.7.6*

Super happy with this program! Quick effective workouts for my busy mom life. Have seen huge progress in healing my abs after baby number 5! Stephanie is very knowledgeable and encouraging. Love it! Worth every penny!

### 5/5 — Literally life changing.

*2026-04-29*

I can’t overestimate how much of difference this program has made in my life.  I’m 2 years postpartum from my youngest, and I was really struggling to make headway in rebuilding my strength, posture, overall physicality.  I would try to ease back into old workouts, but my core, and some other muscles weren’t engaging right.  I dealt with pain, and even injury.  I started this program slowly, and after a bit, the pain I had from before I began went away and my posture began to straighten up more, my muscles engaged properly.  It felt like being rebuilt in a way I didn’t understand how to do before, even with all the postpartum workouts I could find online.  Since then, I’ve been building more strength, and dare I say it, even slimming down.  Finding a way to rebuild my body has changed so much about how I live life, even my mental state, and given me a passion to keep building on it.  I’m enjoying this so much, I don’t even care if I sound gushy. :)

### 5/5 — The direction, convenience, and accountability I needed

*2026-04-28*

With my first pregnancy I didn’t know what types of workouts were safe to do and I didn’t do many because I lacked direction and motivation. Fast forward to life with 3 kids and little time for myself, HiFive has workouts and programs I can follow that I know are safe and helpful for pregnancy and postpartum, only 5 minutes, plus squads for accountability. Seeing my streaks motivates me to keep going too.

### 5/5 — Love HiFive!

*2026-04-26, version 0.6.7*

This is the first workout app that has actively helped me to move my body every day. Even if it’s just 5 minutes some days. I’ve lost 12+ pounds in the last 3.5 months, and it’s largely due to this app helping me develop healthy habits. The streak feature is ingenious! Thank you Stephanie and team.

### 5/5 — This one sticks!

*2026-04-17, version 0.6.5*

This app and program is amazing. I have tried a lot of things, but this has made healing from DR feel so easy and simple to follow along with to get real results.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-04-02, version 0.6.1*

Love this new app and the 5 minute workouts. Used to be called the Chelsea Method and the new version is even better. So much time and thought clearly went into the design. Created for moms by a mom, makes such a difference.

### 5/5 — Motivating!

*2026-04-01, version 0.6.1*

Lots of encouragement in different forms on this app.  It has kept me motivated more than any other exercise program!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-03-31*

I’ve been doing Chelsea method (Hifive) for about a year and half now and I love it! It’s the only workout routine I’ve ever stuck with in my life, and it’s because they send you the daily workout right to your phone. I can do one workout, or add on extras to make it as long as I want. There are a bunch of different challenges depending what you want to work on, or you can just do the daily 5 (daily 5 min workout). It’s geared towards moms who don’t have a lot of time to work out. I also love the squads! A group of women to keep you accountable.
