### 4/5 — Simple & Accessible

*2026-08-13*

This has helped me develop a healthy relationship with exercise. Its simplicity and overall tone is welcoming and encouraging.

One thing I think its slightly frustrating is my custom workouts are not appearing the way I have them saved. For example:
On Thursday:
Pushups, Leg Raises, Elbow Levers
What’s showing up on my Home Screen:
Glute Bridges, Straight Leg Twists, & the Grip.

I believe this is a glitch and not an error on my end. Open to any suggestions.

### 3/5 — No offline capability

*2026-07-24*

As much as I want to give it 5 stars I have no way of using it when I am away from WiFi. It has great navigation ability and easy to do and understand work outs. Heck even the beginning questionnaire was great. Unfortunately being unable to have service and not able to use the app while not being logged in makes it impossible for me to use it at all. Also paying $100 for a year or paying for a monthly subscription is way out of my budget. They also make you choose the yearly subscription if you want to do the 7 day free trial. Overall a really good product if you don’t have connection issues and have the budget that can work with that.

### 3/5 — Simple but also a bit lazy

*2026-07-16, version v3.39.0*

This app is fine. For a guy who spends his time making videos, it would make sense to actually include some audio explaining how to do the exercise and its importance.  If you have levels for each exercise, it would also make sense to let me select the level I want. For timed exercises, why not add a countdown instead? It's missing a lot, and for now, I don't see the value in paying for a subscription.

### 2/5 — pay

*2026-07-15, version v3.39.0*

it makes you pay premium

### 4/5 — Please just one update

*2026-07-10, version v3.39.0*

This app is perfect! One thing that could be cool add is progressions for custom workouts! I’m doing handstands and it would be awesome if I could do the progressions I want to do for them

### 4/5 — Pretty Good Overall

*2026-06-08*

I’d say this is an excellent app, but it glitched for me, so I wish there was a report function. Overall, 4 1/2 stars. I would tap that, but I can’t. App stores doesn’t have half stars for ratings.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-06-01*

There’s no commentary you have to be watching it actually do the exercises and you can’t log your second set

### 4/5 — Great App However..

*2026-05-19, version v3.34.0*

I just wish I could have it connect to my Apple Health.

### 3/5 — Audio adds

*2026-04-14, version v3.30.0*

I like Hammond and the Hybrid Calisthenics program. The app does a wonderful job at explaining exercises as well as setting clear goals. 

For my first week of use I had no problems and would recommend the app. Unfortunately after the first week I started receiving audio adds every time I logged a set. These adds would interrupt whatever music or book I was listening to and really soured my experience with using the app. 

If there is a way to disable audio adds I’ll change my review but right now I may go back to using a google sheet to track progress instead of the app.

### 4/5 — ads ruin the experience

*2026-04-13, version v3.30.0*

I can't afford a subscription but I would happily drop a few dollars one time to get rid of the ads. many other apps have that option. please :) <3

### 5/5 — Beginner friendly

*2026-04-09, version v3.30.0*

Great exercises modified for all levels of fitness. Makes starting to exercise for this 63 year old lady a doable thing. !

### 5/5 — I'm a real person. Read this. It's insane🫣‼️

*2026-04-06, version v3.29.0*

This is the best workout app I've ever seen. You just have to try it for yourself to know. If you pair it with the Lift Off app, you will never miss a workout day ever, and you will feel amazing.

### 2/5 — No equipment?

*2026-04-05, version v3.29.0*

I didn’t realize equipment was needed.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2026-04-01, version v3.28.1*

Only regret was waiting this long to take advantage of the app. Kept saving reels on instagram. This just makes sense.

### 5/5 — Making so much progress!

*2026-03-21, version v3.28.0*

Love this app. I can do so much more than ever in my life in just a few months.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can't change number of reps

*2026-08-14*

Whenever I try to change the number of reps I've completed, the save and cancel buttons stop working. I can't log the correct amount of work I've done. This is a free trial and I've already cancelled my subscription. It's a shame because I've been following your man for years.

### 1/5 — Bezahlschranke

*2026-07-12*

Registrieren und dann kostenlos zwei simple Übungen aus dem Internet.

### 1/5 — Too easy

*2026-05-21, version v3.35.0*

It started off too easy and there’s no music or sounds to let you know when you’re supposed to move on

### 1/5 — Functionality is terrible

*2026-04-10, version v3.30.0*

I really want to be able to do this and I love the idea that it guides you, but right now I cannot restart an accidentally started day 1 first video, so I am forced to do only the other exercises. In addition, I also cannot watch the start guide and while in the app it keeps trying to direct me to watch everything in the app. I hope they fix these issues, as they appear to be pretty basic functionality type issues. (And yes, my app is updated).

### 1/5 — Ummmm …

*2026-04-01, version v3.28.1*

Not good for beginners (slow down) - rushes into exercises and does not explain best form  (talk about position more) - has many versions of an exercise in a single video and you have to wait for the version u want (just separate each one out)

### 1/5 — Does not Match Web

*2026-01-25*

Love the Hybrid 2.0 Routine. All I wanted was an App to step me through the days as the exercises on the Website. Instead a load of questions and a different routine. Deleted it.

### 1/5 — None of the videos work

*2025-11-10, version v3.15.0*

I couldn’t do any exercises because no videos would load. This would sometimes cause a soft-lock where I couldn’t back out of sections where videos we’re supposed to play, so I would have to close and reload the app. I tried deleting and reinstalling, but that didn’t help either.

### 1/5 — No free trial

*2025-09-15, version v3.9.0*

I thought the app was free or had a free trial. After signing up it just went to two paid options. I deleted the app and removed it from my phone but I don’t know if I’ll be charged. While I like the YT channel this was a frustrating experience to go through several steps to set up an account and be charged for something I can’t try out first to see if I can do it. I definitely don’t recommend it.

### 1/5 — Barebones. No complete features. Tech support doesn’t load for a refund request.

*2025-04-30, version v3.0.4*

The homepage consists of only two exercises that you can’t add to. You’ll be done in 6 minutes. 

There’s a second tab where there are all sorts of different calisthenic exercises, and videos attached to them, but there’s no way to keep track of them or to add them to a workout. 

Also, I don’t understand why we can log our exercises, but there’s nowhere to actually view them.

I guess I’m just supposed to write down which exercises I did and how many reps I did— Oh wait, isn’t that what the app was for?

Everything is half made so that no single feature is actually fully complete. It’s really frustrating. 

And then, amazingly, tech-support is the only tab under  “Help” that doesn’t work so I can’t even request a refund. 

No difference on phone or tablet

### 1/5 — Sign up process is broken

*2024-12-05*

Create PW with a PW Generator…“PW does not meet requirements“

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-08-19, version v3.42.0*

Great app easily, laid out with clear instructions and obtainable progress!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-16, version v3.42.0*

Hybrid Calisthenics, and really Hampton who is behind it all, has been a huge blessing to me! This app really helps you progress based on your own abilities, and reach new workout goals at your own pace. I highly recommend giving it a try!

### 5/5 — BEST. FOR. RECOVERY.

*2026-08-15, version v3.42.0*

Have about half a million injuries, haven’t been able to do pull-ups for years. Thanks to Hampton’s incremental & ever-progressing steps toward movements, I can do one on the rings! (with feet on the ground of course:) Stellar app, love how there’s only positive reinforcement and no “HOW COME YOU’VE BEEN ABSENT” emails, lolllll! Gotta get this app!!!!!!!!!! 👊

### 5/5 — Straight to the point!

*2026-08-13, version v3.42.0*

This is perfect for me. Practical quick workouts! Played my own music in background 🎶 Got the 4 kids and my husband to do it with me too!! 🤩

### 5/5 — Easy but helpful

*2026-08-12, version v3.42.0*

Your so cool I love your friendliness 🙂 I wish you did an opening welcome friend with your smile and a wave when you open the app.

### 5/5 — Motivation

*2026-07-24, version v3.40.0*

I like that you don’t have to pay extra if you don’t want extra

### 5/5 — I love Hampton from hybrid calistenics

*2026-07-07, version v3.39.0*

Everything is integrated neatly and I feel like the devs will respond to feedback based on the app.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2026-06-23, version v3.38.0*

Simple, straight forward, calisthenics strength training app.

It actually helps you get better and always meets you where you’re at regardless of experience level, high or low.

### 5/5 — Finally something that leads with positivity

*2026-06-09, version v3.36.0*

So many of these apps try to tap into insecurities, whether it’s weight loss, what people think of you, etc. This app takes you where you’re at and adjusts to you so you can start gently and move forward. Motivates without body shaming!

### 5/5 — Great for everyone

*2026-05-23*

App allows beginners to get in shape enough to access greater exercises. Following the Hybrid Routine paired with a great diet and cardio also promotes significant growth and strength in all areas. Highly recommend for newbies and individuals who are returning to their fitness routine. Best advice is to take things slow and do the level 1 progressions of all workouts despite what your ego may tell you.
